Always female, The Stultified Puppeteer is a member of the local Gentry.

==Description==

{{Tab}}''"Humans crave melodrama, they crave fiction. When you are sitting alone and  texting its because you are bored. That is because you are bored all the time. This is what fiction does for us. It gives a simulation for bigger things, bigger emotions. That is what Lord of the Rings is, that is what Phantom of the Opera is, that is what Goodfellas is. That is everything. It is us watching and feeling. The human capacity for imagination. That is why we have stories. That is what you need, man! That is what we all want! From Long John Silver to Perseus to Neo to Walter White. We love to watch grow, change, struggle. Good people, bad people, we don't care, man! We need entertainment and we need it now!" - [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VYvMOf3hsGA Max Landis]''

{{Tab}}The Stultified Puppeteer is utterly inhuman, but she is human-like. She craves emotion, but she cannot produce it alone. She craves story but she cannot write them. She craves for companionship but only cares for herself. In many ways the Stultified Puppeteer is every man or woman corrupted by power in such a disproportionate way they would lose all perspective of the others around them, from Emperor Commodus to Kim Jong-un. The key difference is that the Stultified Puppeteer has never brushed with mortality or imperfection. In her realm, she is God, and she wants entertainment, and she wants it now.

{{Tab}}Nothing exists within the Stultified Puppeteer's realm that doesn't work exactly how this Fae desires. She has everything under control, all the time... except for her Changelings. Ever since the first Lost-to-be looked the Puppeteer right into her cold, dead eyes and denied her, this unknowable god has become mystified with the mortal world and the potential for something new that it brings. Something she cannot control. Entertainment. Fear. Excitement. Melodrama!

{{Tab}}That Changeling was killed on the spot, as the denial startled the True Fae so she couldn't hold back her fury, but to this day her body exists in the courtyards of The Stultified Puppeteer as a gold and flesh statue, a saint and role model, her first love. No one compares to The First One. No one.

{{Tab}}But several have tried. Mortals abducted by The Stultified Puppeteer are expected to be entertaining. Those captured to be villains are usually the worst of the worst in the most stereotypical ways: murderers, serial killers, rapists, war criminals, politicians, lawyers, drug users, heirs to great fortunes and scientists (because of course). The heroes of her realm are just as grossly misunderstood individuals. Some are just beautiful, others had turbulent pasts, soldiers of any armies, mothers and fathers, firemen, policemen and children. If left to her own devices the Stultified Puppeteer sets up her own entertainment like a game of checkers or chess, in black and white.

{{Tab}}And she gets bored very, very fast.

{{Tab}}What happens when the Fae gets bored varies. If she gets tired of a storyline she may decide to change it, be it by killing a loved one of her protagonist or adding another villain of three to see what happens then. Maybe she brings in her protagonist's brother as his nemesis or decides to take part more directly.

{{Tab}}And sometimes people just get cancelled. Happens to the very best one of them.
