History[]
Early Life[]
Feyre is the youngest child of her family, with two older sisters Nesta and Elain. Feyre's family was wealthy; her father was called the "prince of merchants". Her mother was a cold woman who cared only about her status and throwing parties. She was abrasive to Feyre calling her a “weird” and “sullen” child. Her parents and sisters neglected her, often leaving her to hide out in her father’s study alone.
Feyre's mother died of typhus when she was eight, but not before making her promise that she will take care of the family. When Feyre was nine, her father put all their money into a trading business across the sea, which resulted in losing all his ships. He was then hunted down and assaulted by creditors; Feyre was the only daughter to witness and attempt to stop his assault, as Nesta and Elain had fled into a bedroom. As a result of the attack, her father's knee was irreparably damaged. The family was soon forced to move out of their home and into a cottage in a nondescript village.
Too young to read before her family lost their wealth, Feyre grew up illiterate and without the upper-class training her sisters benefited from. When she was eleven, she started following hunters to the forest and learned to set snares and hunt by watching them.
Now living in poverty, Feyre became the sole provider for the family despite being the youngest. Neither her father or sisters did anything to help keep them alive, letting her shoulder the burden alone. She dealt with constant criticism and verbal attacks from her oldest sister—Nesta—and she developed deep rooted self doubt due to Nesta’s consistent belittling, something she carried with her through her teenage years. She was thrust into adult responsibility without support or warmth, developing a practical, no-nonsense mindset just to keep her family alive. Feyre learned to push down her pain, to carry everyone’s weight without complaint, while slowly losing any sense of self.
A few years later, she began a sexual relationship with a village boy named Isaac Hale while her sisters searched for possible suitors.
Feyre has always had an interest in painting; her late mother once thought about how her painting abilities might secure her a future husband. But because her sisters avail themselves of any money Feyre brings into the household, she has little time or resources to purchase paints and practice. One time, Feyre was able to sell some of her hunts, and Elain bought her three paints— red, blue, and yellow. Feyre started painting on every surface she could find, tables, and a shared dresser. She painted fire for Nesta, flowers for Elain, and although she could not explain it, she painted the night sky, stars, and moon for herself.
A Court of Thorns and Roses[]
Feyre is first introduced in the snow-covered forests of her village as she hunts for food; it is the middle of a harsh winter and the Archeron Family is close to starvation. She spots a doe in the forest, gets ready to shoot her bow, and then notices a golden eyed, large wolf on the opposite side of the forest clearing. Feyre struggles between deciding whether to run or shoot the large wolf, which she suspects could be a faerie. Out of hatred for the faeries, she shoots the unmoving, staring wolf with her only ash wood arrow, and since it does not die, she shoots another arrow that hits the middle of its eye, finally killing the creature. Feyre skins the wolf and drags a doe she killed to her cottage. The next day she goes to the market with her sisters to sell the wolf pelt and deer hide and met a mercenary who quickly bought them and paid her very well for them, more than expected.
That night, while having dinner with her family, a beast with a bear-like body, wolf head, and elk horns destroys her cottage's door and storms into it looking for the murderer of his friend, thus confirming that the wolf was a faerie. When Feyre confesses it was her, as punishment for having killed a faerie, Feyre is given two options, to die at that moment or to go live in Prythian, the land of the fairies that is deadly for a human being. Her father encourages her to do it and to never come back. Feyre leaves with the beast and for the few minutes they move through the woods, she looks for a way to run away or kill it. She is then knocked out by the beast with magic and kept unconscious throughout the whole trek back to Prythian.
Feyre regains consciousness when she is already in the Spring Court and arrives at a nice, seemingly empty manor. She is taken into a dining room by the beast who, with a flash of light, transforms into a blond, young man with a mask, Tamlin. He offers her food, which she refuses, since she was raised to believe that all their food was enchanted or drugged. He sends her to have a bath in her room, which she is surprised by, since she thought she was his prisoner and would be living in a cell. This is when Feyre is introduced to Alis; Tamlin's maid. When she returns, Tamlin is still seated at the table, and she refuses to eat again. They are now joined by a faerie named Lucien— who initially mocks her for being human and looking starved. Tamlin attempts to compliment her, saying how she looked cleaned and well dressed, which she dismisses as pathetic flirting. Due to her continued distrust in the High Lord, he magically chains her to the seat and promises not to release her until she eats. Finally, Feyre obliges, and then is allowed back to her room.
Although initially the relationship with Tamlin is unwelcomed, he eventually gains Feyre's trust and interest. At first she tried to escape and feeling that she is failing the promise she made to her mother and leaving her family to die, Tamlin confesses that he glamoured her family to think she left to take care of a sick aunt and her father's ships were found across the sea. Tamlin himself sent them gold and jewels to ensure their well-being after he took Feyre. With Tamlin's reassurance that her family is safe, she decides to stay, starts to pursue Tamlin and painting, while also trying to learn how to read.
During the night of the Calanmai, Feyre is advised by Tamlin to stay in her room and not open her door no matter what. Her curiosity and the tempting sound of drums lure her to the festive in the hills.
While there, she meets three High Fae, who take an interest in her and herd her to the woods, where they attempt to take advantage of her. A stranger cuts in and passively tells the three High Fae to leave. The stranger, later revealed to be Rhysand, offers to escort her elsewhere. She denies his offer and they end up parting ways. Feyre is then found by Lucien, who is furious she left the manor and promptly takes her back.
When Feyre hears the music from the hills suddenly stop, she assumes the festival is over and strolls out of her room to have a snack, only to be found by a Tamlin who is drunk with magic. He starts seducing her and bites her neck— to which she slaps him and claims that she is not his Calanmai seconds. Although she denies his attempt at seduction, their sexual tension seems to become more apparent after the confrontation.
One morning while Feyre and the two Fae males were having breakfast, the faerie who saved her during Calanmai enters the manor. Before he gets to the dining room, Lucien glamours Feyre to not be visible to the stranger. Tamlin reveals the stranger to be Rhysand and tries to kick him out. Rhysand reveals that he came to the Spring Court to pass a message from an unknown woman, later revealed to be Amarantha. Before Rhysand leaves, he notices the extra plate on the table and recognizes Feyre's smell. He uses his magic to reveal Feyre, and tells Tamlin that Amarantha would not like to find out about the presence of the human girl in his court at all. Rhysand uses his daemati abilities and inflicts pain onto Feyre. Tamlin and Lucien beg Rhysand not to tell Amarantha about Feyre. After asking her what her name is and she lies saying her name is Clare Beddor, he leaves.
After this, Tamlin sends Feyre back to her human village as he says it is not safe for her to stay at Court. While Feyre is leaving the manor, Tamlin expresses that he loves her. She has the urge to say it back to him, but is unable to, and so she looks away from the High Lord. When she returns to the human lands, she finds that was her family was indeed cared for. Nesta confesses that she resisted Tamlin's glamour and is the only one who remembers everything that happened the night Feyre was taken to Prythian. During the next few weeks, Feyre's sadness and regret for not telling Tamlin she loves him increases.
Upon learning of the fire that killed the Beddor family, Feyre realizes they died because she gave the name Clare to Rhysand, so she understands that Amarantha has done something terrible in Prythian. She decides to go back to the Spring Court, which she then finds deserted and destroyed, except for Alis, a servant faerie who tells her the story of the curse that envelopes Prythian and accompanies her to the entrance of Under the Mountain so that she can rescue Tamlin from Amarantha. Once in the passages that lead to Under the Mountain she is caught by the Attor, a creature in Amarantha's service, who brings her before her. Once in the High Queen of Prythian's throne room, Feyre confesses her love for Tamlin and Amarantha tells her that she can free him, along with all his court, if she survives three trials and solves a riddle. Tamlin stays silent and unmoving throughout the whole interaction between the ladies.
During her first trial, Feyre hurts her arm, which is left unattended by Amarantha and the other faeries. One night, Rhysand manages to get into Feyre's cell and offers her healing in exchange for spending two weeks out of every month in the Night Court. Feyre initially disagrees, and Rhysand grabs the shard of bone that sticks out of her arm and twisting. After this torture and noticing that she will almost certainly die from the infection before Lucien can sneak away to help her, she realizes she has no other choice. She negotiates to lower the terms to only one week per month. Once they both agree, Rhysand grabs her injured arm and painfully heals her. A black tattoo with a cat's eye in the palm of her hand appears on her left arm as a permanent reminder of the deal she struck.
In between the trials, Rhysand protects Feyre from receiving extra torture from the errands assigned by the guards. However, he makes her wear transparent slips that barely cover her body that she finds humiliating. He forces her to drink a special wine that makes her completely lose control of her body and her memories. He treats her like a possession and forces her to do sensual dances or sit on his lap. He adds paint along her body to know if someone touched her. She spends her days sleeping off the faerie wine, dozing to escape the humiliation she endures. Rhysand’s treatment of Feyre during those nights were so horrific that Lucien couldn’t even begin to describe it to Feyre when she’d asked him in the next morning. All of this is part of a plan that he himself articulated, to make Tamlin jealous and when he was released, his wave of hatred would be so great that it could kill Amarantha. One night, Rhysand forcibly and harshly kisses Feyre against her will and without her consent because he was jealous of Tamlin.
Rhysand saves Feyre once while she tries to complete the second trial. She threatens to break soon after and he speaks in his mind, to stay firm. And near the third trial, Rhysand saves her once again when she goes into a panic attack and doesn't feel anything. She herself says that she has sunk so deep inside herself that she will need something extraordinary to bring her back. He sends her a song through the ventilation hole in the ceiling of her cell. The music was something to be worshipped, Feyre said, to fill the void in her soul and take her to a place where there was no pain. She cried without realizing it, but she clung to the music and also to the visions she could see through it. A great palace in the sky, a hall of alabaster and opal, where everything that was beautiful and kind and fantastic lived in peace. Everything she wanted was there, the one she loved was there.
After successfully completing the remaining two trials, Amarantha, enraged, starts killing Feyre, who eventually manages to solve Amarantha's riddle and break the curse with her last breath. Amarantha snaps Feyre's neck and she dies.
Feyre is later resurrected by the seven High Lords of Prythian, but she is turned in the process into a High Fae. Traumatized by all the things she had to do to free Tamlin, herself, and the whole of Prythian, she shares a goodbye with Rhysand and then returns to the Spring Court to live with Tamlin.
A Court of Mist and Fury[]
Feyre has spent three months in the Spring Court after the events of Under the Mountain. She battles with the traumatic events she experienced that marked her in a very deep way, having killed two innocent High Fae as part of her tests. She constantly awakens in the middle of the night with nightmares and vomits in the bathroom. Tamlin, dealing with his own trauma, ignores what is going on with both of them, pretending nothing happened. Feyre's physical and mental health keeps deteriorating and Tamlin does not allow her out of his manor out of fear and misguided attempt at protecting her. Feyre spends her time planning her wedding along with Ianthe, a High Priestess, and Tamlin's childhood friend. Ianthe takes over the responsibility of wedding planner and controls every aspect of Feyre's life, including what she wears. Feyre, being so broken, accepts everything she wants to do with her.
According to Ianthe, Feyre's responsibilities are to bear children to ensure Tamlin's bloodline survives, and plan parties. She has to behave according to his desires to send the "right message" to the remaining courts. Tamlin confesses to her that she will be a consort only, never a High Lady as such position has never existed.
On the day of her wedding, Feyre is not sure of what she is doing. She thinks after being married, things will be better between her and Tamlin and eventually, a mating bond will occur. Alis mentions that she looks as if she is going to a funeral instead of her wedding.
Ten steps before reaching Tamlin, Feyre decides to stop the wedding. However, she can barely speak and stops walking down the aisle. She panics and prays for someone to rescue her and stop the wedding. Tamlin realizes what is happening and tries to grab her and pull her towards him. Suddenly Rhysand appears to take Feyre away to the Night Court, calling in the bargain she made with him Under the Mountain.
They both winnow to the Night Court, where she finds a great house on a mountain, instead of the horrible place she expected. Feyre is surprised to see concern in Rhysand's eyes but while he makes fun of her wedding dress and fiasco, she throws one of her shoes at his head. Rhysand tells her that she is rather strong for a normal High Fae and that she might have inherited the powers from other High Lords, while they resurrected her, and that she needs to train to be prepared for an upcoming war against the King of Hybern and his forces.
The next morning Rhysand tells Feyre her "torture" for the week, learning to read. He also offers her a job to stay with him and work for him, which she refuses automatically out of hate and anger towards him.
When Feyre is returned to the Spring Court, Tamlin uses her as a spy to gather all possible information about the Night Court and Rhysand.
During the Tithe, a tax collection Tamlin assembles for all members of his lands, Feyre helps a water-wraith pay her debt, a fact that infuriates Tamlin. When they start arguing about it, Feyre confesses that she feels controlled and overwhelmed by Tamlin. He loses control of his magic and destroys his study, yet she is not hurt, having created a wall of air around her for protection. She immediately forgives Tamlin for what happened.
When Rhysand takes her to the Night Court for a second time, she spends most of her time alone and reading books, after learning to read and write under Rhysand's teachings and teasing. He also teaches her to block her mind from anyone that may attempt to control her. When she is about to return to the Spring Court, concerned, he asks her what he can do to help her, since she is looking physically and mentally worse every day. She again refuses his help but expresses that she is not so excited about going back to the Spring Court.
When she returns to the Spring Court, Tamlin restricts all of her privileges, saying that it's for her own safety. One morning, Tamlin goes out on patrol with Lucien and Feyre catches them leaving and begs to go along. Tamlin refuses and wards the house with her inside, locking her in. She panics and envelops herself in a cocoon of darkness, fire, and wind. Rhysand is forced to destroy Tamlin's wards and sends Morrigan in to rescue Feyre.
When Feyre awakes the next day she finds Rhysand in her room, tired and desperate, after spending the night in a chair watching over her. He tells her she is free to stay in the House of Wind until she desires to leave. Feyre asks him to take her with him and he winnows them to Velaris.
After meeting Rhysand's Inner Circle, Feyre decides to work with him. After several events, she starts realizing how broken she was and how badly she was treated at the Spring Court. She begins a road of self-discovery that leads her right where she belongs. All of this is in the midst of the beginning of a war against Hybern. In the process, Rhysand gets shot out of the sky with ash arrows and Feyre saves him, killing the attackers and removing the arrows from his body. She finds that the arrows were poisoned and tries to help Rhys by catching the Suriel. She finds out that the High Lord of the Night Court is her mate.
Feyre is upset but returns to Rhys and heals him with her blood, as the Suriel tells her to. She takes Rhys back to Morrigan and the others and asks Mor to take her away. After a few days in a small cottage, Feyre realizes that she loves Rhysand as he does her. He appears one day and explains everything to her, how he protected Velaris from Amarantha, and the dreams he used to have of Feyre's life. He tells her how he found her at the Calanmai, when he felt the mating bond, and how he fell in love with her. They are intimate and then return to the Illyrian camp. Cassian provokes Rhys into a fight to work off some of the aggression he feels. They steal the first half of the Book of Breathings from Tarquin and are given the second half by the golden queen of the mortal world.
Velaris is then attacked, and Feyre defends the city, using the powers at her disposal. She kills the Attor and Rhys names her "Defender of the Rainbow". Rhys, Feyre, Mor, Cassian, and Azriel travel to Hybern. Feyre fails to nullify the Cauldron, and they meet Jurian, who has been resurrected by the King of Hybern. Jurian shoots Azriel and they are brought before the King of Hybern. It is revealed that Tamlin and Lucien were allowing Hybern to set up an area where they could knock down the wall in exchange for getting Feyre back. The King senses that Rhys and Feyre are mates. Ianthe betrayed them and told the King where Feyre's sisters were. The King has them dragged out and dropped into the Cauldron, making them High Fae. Lucien and Elain's mating bond snaps into place. Feyre begins to shake violently and throws out her Light magic from the Day Court, temporarily blinding everyone. She destroys the wards on the castle preventing them from winnowing out and plays one last game, pretending that Rhys had kept control over her mind.
Her friends play along as she cries and runs to Tamlin, who refuses to accept that she was really fine. They say their silent goodbyes and Mor winnows Elain and Nesta out. Rhys, Cassian, and Azriel follow. Feyre goes back to the Spring Court, and it is revealed that she is Rhysand's spy and the High Lady of The Night Court. As Feyre walks up the gravel drive, she glances back and sees that Lucien has seen through every lie. She smiles at him as Tamlin leads her into the heart of his territory.
A Court of Wings and Ruin[]
Feyre returns to the Spring Court to spy for Rhysand and the Night Court to gather information. She welcomes the Hybern delegation made up of Jurian and the twin nephews of the King: the Prince s Dagdan and Brannagh.
They have gone on the supposed mission of inspecting the cracks in the wall, but it is later revealed that since they arrived, they were actually poisoning the residents of Tamlin's manor with Faebane, in small doses so that it is not noticeable, but the effect is cumulative.
Feyre begins to gather all the information that could be useful, from plans to the number of troops and locations of attacks. During her stay, she tries to make Tamlin and Ianthe jealous by being close to Lucien and causing him to lose his faith in Tamlin by allowing the latter to hurt her during one of his emotional explosions of power. She also sowed discord among the residents of the manor, especially the sentries, by showing them that Tamlin would always side with Ianthe, and through her daemati powers she implants in them the idea that, after killing Dagdan and Brannagh she had to flee because Tamlin did nothing to stop them from trying to kill her. The news spread through the court and there is an internal rebellion that leads to Hybern's forces having no resistance when invading them. As a result of this, many a fae die and Hybern manages to attack other courts.
Then Feyre, accompanied by Lucien, makes her return trip to the Night Court but they had to cross the Autumn Court instead of the Summer Court since Feyre is wanted there. They are attacked by Lucien's brothers, Eris Vanserra and other two brothers, at the request of their father, Beron Vanserra, the High Lord of the court. They manage to flee from the brothers and cross the border into the Winter Court but are once again attacked by Lucien's brothers and are only saved when Cassian and Azriel come to their rescue and take them away to Velaris along with Morrigan.
Once in Velaris she meets with Rhysand, and they begin to weigh their various possible allies. Then her mate sends letters to all the High Lords to schedule a meeting.
Feyre's sisters, Nesta and Elain are living in Velaris, recently being turned into High Fae with peculiar powers, especially Nesta, and as the King of Hybern wants back the power Nesta took from the Cauldron, he sends two of his Ravens to kidnap her, which they were unable to do and died trying.
During the attack on Adriata, Varian, the Prince, sends a message to Amren warning her that the city is under attack by Hybern. Quickly Rhysand rallies his troops and alongside his Inner Circle, with the exception of Amren, march to the Summer Court. During the battle Feyre and Mor fight together to kill the Hybern soldiers who have invaded the palace and the nearby streets and Rhysand faces the King himself, who in the end turns out to be an apparition as he isn't really there. Hybern is defeated and when they go to speak to Tarquin, the High Lord, he shows them he still holds a grudge from their last visit and tells them to leave his territory.
When the High Lords agree to hold the meeting, the event was at the Dawn Court Palace, belonging to Thesan, the High Lord of the Dawn Court, as it is the place closest to the Middle. The meeting is attended by the seven High Lords with their delegations. It is revealed that Tamlin has not been working with Hybern, but in fact infiltrating their ranks for info to give the courts a chance at defeating him in the war. After several discussions and altercations, they agree to join forces against Hybern, with the exception of the Autumn Court who leaves after Feyre showed that when they revived her each of the High Lords gave her a little of their power unknowingly when she attacked the High Lord of the Autumn Court, injuring his wife at the process.
During the second day of the meeting, they hear a great roar and Nesta, who has a connection to the Cauldron, tells them that the King has used it to destroy the wall.
Tarquin tells them that by coming to their aid, he is nullifying the blood rubies he had sent them and offers Tamlin refuge for the citizens of his court and the enemy army invaded the Summer Court across the border with the Spring Court.
A battle ensued between Hybern and the joint armies of the Summer Court and the Night Court (the latter consisting of Illyrian s and the Darkbringers of the Hewn City) where the defenders of Prythian are victorious and at the end of the battle Tarquin drowns all the soldiers of Hybern who were still alive. After the conflict ends, they are informed that Hybern's next attack would be on the Winter Court, so they use a glamour on the armies so that it seems that they are still there and move to the Winter Court for the new battle.
This new battle is bloodier and narrowly won by the Prythian forces. In this fight Cassian is seriously injured.
After the battle, while in the war camp, the Cauldron deceives Elain, posing as her ex-fiancé Graysen, and takes her to the Hybern camp, from where she is rescued, along with Briar, by Feyre and Azriel with the help of Jurian (who proves he had never actually been on Hybern's side but is a spy) and Tamlin, who also happens to be a spy. Tamlin uses his beast form to keep Hybern's beasts at bay so the four can get away, also sending them a powerful blast of wind to help them escape, as Azriel's wings were torn.
When they learn that the final battle would take place in the Mortal Lands to the south of the island, the High Lords agree to transfer as many mortals as possible to Adriata to save their lives. After that, the armies marched to the battlefield, where the Bone Carver and Bryaxis (recruited by Feyre) and Stryga, the Weaver, (recruited by Rhys) also arrive to aid them in battle. A short time later, they are joined by the forces of the Spring Court and the Autumn Court, as well as an army of mortals led by Jurian and Graysen. During the course of the battle the King uses the force of the Cauldron thus killing many defenders of Prythian (among them the Bone Carver) and soldiers of his own army. When it seems that their forces would be overwhelmed, reinforcements arrive from Cretea, the island of Drakon and Miryam and also mortals from the Continent led by Mr. Archeron and Vassa, the sixth mortal queen mentioned in the previous book.
Knowing that the only way to win is by nullifying the Cauldron's powers, Nesta plans a distraction for the King to take him away from the magic item so Feyre and Amren can get closer to it. When they do, Amren tells Feyre to place her hands on the Cauldron and she does, the Cauldron shows her the vision of what is happening across the battle, showing how the King uses her father as a human shield and then breaks his neck. Also how, when he is about to kill Nesta and Cassian, Elain emerges from behind him and stabs him in the neck with Azriel's knife and then Nesta uses the knife to cut off his head.
When the vision ends, Feyre tries to kill Amren for betraying her, but she explains that only her true form can kill all the remaining Hybern soldiers, who continue to fight despite their King having died. She gets into the Cauldron and Feyre reads the spell from the Book of Breathings to free her true form. During the process the Cauldron explodes, and she emerges in her true form of fire and light and takes out all remaining enemies.
As the world is connected to the Cauldron, a vacuum is beginning to be created around the remains of it, as a way to save the world they knew, Feyre and Rhysand unite their powers to re-make it. It is so much effort that Rhysand dies in the process and after Feyre begs them, the other High Lords gave a seed of their power to revive him as they had done with her in Under the Mountain. Tamlin hesitates, but upon seeing Feyre so distraught, he gives his seed of power to Rhysand to resurrect him, stating "Be happy, Feyre." Rhys comes back to life, bringing Amren with him from between life and death.
After the re-forging of the Cauldron Amren is found within it in her new High Fae form. A short time later Feyre and her sisters attend a small service in honor of their father and then a meeting called by Feyre in the ruins of the Archeron's estate to renegotiate a new Treaty between Fae and mortals.
She was last seen drinking at Velaris with her friends and later flying over the city with Rhysand.
A Court of Frost and Starlight[]
After the end of the war against Hybern, Feyre fully assumes her role as High Lady, helping to rebuild Velaris and working with Rhysand to maintain old alliances and forge new ones between the Faerie and mortal realms to try to keep the peace. She helps many charities and organizations that arise in the city with the mission of returning it to its previous state. While she is in the Rainbow of Velaris trying to help she sees a studio that has not yet been rebuilt. A faerie called Ressina sees her looking, approaches her and tells her that it belonged to her friend, Polina, who did not survive the attack. She then tells her that the artists do not forget that she came to their aid when Hybern attacked and then invites her to come to her own studio where one night a week several artists gather to paint together. Feyre is indecisive as she does not want to be seen painting and in the end she decides to do it alone in Polina's studio.
Meanwhile Winter Solstice is approaching, a great celebration at the Night Court, and also her 21st birthday. As it is customary to give gifts for Solstice, Feyre and Elain go shopping, during which they meet Aranea and her life story. Feyre also tries to get closer to Nesta, who after the war has moved into her own apartment, like Lucien, and has distanced herself from the family preferring living her life on her own, something that saddens both Feyre and Elain.
When Feyre finally decides to buy Polina's studio, her sister gives it to her but does not take her money and together with Ressina she opens a studio to teach painting for free to all those who would like to learn.
A Court of Silver Flames[]
Feyre is dealing with the aftermath of the war and is shown in the bonus chapter that she continues to have nightmares and deal with her lingering trauma. She has also continued to develop a new Treaty, Cassian notes that she, Amren, and Rhys had spent months working on it, but Vallahan is said to not want to sign.
She is also struggling with Nesta, who has been traumatized by her experiences and is spiraling, and is using Feyre's money to drink herself into oblivion. Feyre and the rest of the Inner Circle give Nesta an ultimatum to either go to the House of Wind to train with Cassian and work in the library or leave for the Mortal Lands. Feyre is shown deeply worried about Nesta's destroying herself in the year since the war and they made this plan to help Nesta learn to control herself, as Feyre says.
Shortly after, Feyre becomes pregnant with a baby boy. While Madja tells her that her pregnancy will be dangerous, she doesn't know that since he will have Illyrian wings, and her body isn't made to give birth to an Illyrian, Feyre and the baby will die. Rhys keeps this information from her for a couple weeks as he is hoping he can find a way to save both Feyre and the child.
One day, Nesta gets very angry and tells Feyre that she and her son will die from childbirth. Feyre is distraught to learn not just that her son's life is at risk but that Nesta, Rhys, Amren, and everyone had not told her the full extent of the danger. Nesta feels awful about how she told Feyre in a rage and spoke in anger and eventually apologizes to Feyre in her thoughts, which Feyre's daemati abilities allow her to hear. Feyre tells her she forgives her.
One night as Spring dawns in Velaris and Feyre was two months away from giving birth, Rhysand sees a rare red star blasting across the sky while with Feyre.[5] Sarah J. Mass confirmed this red star was Aelin Galathynius as she falls through darkness and passes through worlds, one of which is Prythian after using the wyrdkeys to open the wyrdgates in Kingdom of Ash. Rhysand actually sees her falling but he's "weirded out by it" so he claims he saw a red star. Rhys senses she's in trouble and reaches with his magic to slow down her fall.[6]
Feyre gives birth early, and both she and the baby nearly die. However, Nesta uses her power and the objects of The Dead Trove to bring them back from the brink of death, promising the Cauldron the powers back in exchange for their lives. During her bargain with the Cauldron, Nesta has it change the shape of Feyre's and her own anatomy so they can survive Illyrian births in the future. Feyre is healthy again and she and Rhysand name the baby, Nyx. Feyre and her mate are happy and looking forward to a life with the little boy.

House of Flame and Shadow[]
When Nesta uses the Mask to defeat a Middengard Wyrm she has a hard time breaking out of its hold so Azriel tries to help her snap out of it by mentioning all the people that love Nesta. He mentions Feyre, Elain, and Nyx along with Nesta's mate and her friends, and says they are waiting for her.
Later, Ember Quinlan and Randall Silago stayed in the Night Court. Ember tried to explain to Rhysand and Azriel that Nesta wasn't at fault for Bryce taking their weapons to Midgard. She says she thinks only Feyre believed her and Feyre had warned Rhysand to stop yelling at her.
Appearance[]
Feyre is slender, with pale skin, golden-brown hair, and slightly up-tilted blue-grey eyes. Before arriving at the Spring Court, Feyre ate very little due to her family's poverty, rendering her extremely thin. However, once settled into the Spring Court, she filled out to a healthy weight, as she says herself her body now looks like the one of a woman, with her full breasts and the sweeping, soft curves of her waist and hips. Despite her thinness, she had always been considered strong.
After her time in the Spring Court, her skin tanned and freckled. She has a pert, pretty and straight nose, sharp cheekbones, and a soft mouth (her father's mouth). She is described as beautiful. After turning into a High Fae while living with Tamlin, she wastes away from the trauma she endured Under the Mountain and becomes skinny once more, during this period she describes her face as gaunt, with sharp cheekbones, her eyes are dull and smudged with purple beneath, her full lips are wan, and her collarbones jut out. She eventually regains her weight during her stay in the Night Court in A Court of Mist and Fury.
Her left forearm bears a tattoo given to her by Rhysand from their deal made Under the Mountain. The tattoo acts as a bargain contract that requires Feyre to spend one week every month of her life in the Night Court.
The tattoo that signifies her bargain with Rhysand is later destroyed by the King of Hybern in A Court of Mist and Fury. However, her right arm now bears a matching tattoo to the original, marking her as the High Lady of the Night Court.
After the events of A Court of Wings and Ruin, she has a black band from her bargain with Bryaxis on her left arm. and above it, a tattoo that marks her bargain to die at the same time as Rhysand. She has four phases of the moon with a small star in the center of them tattooed down her spine, for her deal with the Bone Carver.
In A Court of Frost and Starlight she asks Rhys to replace the eye that is tattooed on the center of her palms with the design of the Night Court insignia, a mountain with three stars. This kind of marking can never be altered.
Personality[]
Feyre is hardworking and dedicated to her family, spending most of her days providing and caring for her father and sisters by hunting and selling animals at the market. Despite her willingness to protect her family at all costs, she feels great hatred for the Fae, as a result of her upbringing, her surroundings, and earlier experiences of spending time at the Spring Court. She is very stubborn and has a sarcastic sense of humor that is usually not seen. She is very confident and selfless, willing to sacrifice anything for the people she loves.
She loves painting and art, and she sees the world in vivid colors, light, and shadows. She is also very understanding, as she understands Rhysand and his problems, and she understands why he did what he did, and why he does what he does.
Feyre is seductive and charming when she wants to be but generally prefers to remain open to the people she has an affection for. She hates it when others judge her and is fairly indignant in terms of those who don't receive equal rights. She can be very cunning, an example of this was when she defeated the Middengard Wyrm with strategy alone, without physical strength or magical powers. She is brilliant at masking her emotions, lying, and playing different roles, and has a quick temper when provoked. She has unwavering loyalty towards those who have earned her trust and hatred towards those who have broken it. In addition to compassion and mercy, like the time he saved young Briar, who was being tortured in Hybern's war camp.
Feyre has a dark side that she doesn't mind showing, driven forward by her compassion, determination, self-sacrificing nature, and faith in those she loves. Feyre is also a keen artist. She often used art as a form of escape and entertainment. Although for a period after the traumas of Under the Mountain, she stopped painting, she slowly managed to recover after living in Velaris and began painting again.
Powers and Abilities[]
When Feyre died Under the Mountain, she was resurrected and reborn by the combined powers of the seven High Lords. She was Made into a High Fae, thus gaining the physique of High Fae, their strength and speed, their keener senses, and also their immortality. Rhysand notes that she is especially strong for a High Fae after turning and is demonstrating the signs that are seen in a High Lord's Heir.
Feyre also inherited drops of power from all seven High Lord's powers described by Helion as “So small—like a fish missing a single scale”, and as a result, she is able to track hidden objects connected to the High Lords and bypass their magic as she has their “fingerprints” which allowed her to do such things through that power and use those abilities together, she also has a connection to the High Lords, whereby being in their presence and land can heighten that specific power. Feyre is able to winnow from one place to another, is skilled with glamour to the point of being able to show an illusion of the Night Court army in A Court of Wings and Ruin, can access the pocket realm, and use faelights among other High Fae abilities. She receives Illyrian combat training from Cassian and Illyrian flight training from Azriel. She can also cast spells through training with Amren, some notable spells were the two from the Book of Breathings, the first spell was to nullify the Cauldron but she failed due to being overwhelmed by the intense presence and power of the Cauldron that she nearly lost her sense of self to it, the second spell was to take control of the Cauldron which didn’t really go as planned as she got overwhelmed again before Amren came into play and leaped into the Cauldron, where Feyre then helped her unbind her true form which led to Amren breaking the Cauldron in her ascension to her true form. Thereafter, with the help of Rhysand’s own power fuelling her and in conjunction with a strong spell from the Book of Breathings, she was able to repair the cracks on the Cauldron and repaired it. Feyre is mastered with all of her powers.
The following list comprises Feyre's abilities and their corresponding courts:
- Spring Court: Shapeshifting. She is able to manifest claws, talons, and Illyrian wings, and can shift the nature of her eyes to be able to see in the dark. She is also able to impersonate other people, like Ianthe and Tarquin.
- Summer Court: Water Manipulation. She controls water expertly and can shape it however she wants like butterflies and birds, and was able to create "water wolves" that can drown Hybern soldiers with ease. She uses it against Beron, the High Lord of Autumn after he insults Rhysand and trapped him in a water sphere, as well as drowned a Hybern soldier in Adriatic with a blast of water. She is also able to control her tears as she cried seawater tears to fool Lucien.
- Autumn Court: Fire Manipulation. She masters control of fire and blast it at enemies and summon it in her hand without it burning her to burn a paintbrush, her fire magic was seen being able to shred through feeble Hybern magic shields, controlled it to burn in their throats and behead Hybern soldiers, and burn a forest clearing during training as well as burn flesh as she’d grievously injured Brannagh and also burned the Lady of Autumn during her temperamental fight with Beron, much to the chagrin of Beron.
- Winter Court: Ice Manipulation. She masters control of ice, as seen when she froze the water she’d sprayed on the Attor-like creatures during the Battle of Velaris and watched them shatter upon slamming into the cobblestone, using it to refreeze parts of a lake after Eris melts it. Kallias asks her if she has mastered it, to which she replies she has.
- Dawn Court: Healing Abilities (through her blood). She has control of her healing, using it to help Rhysand after he is shot with ash arrows.
- Day Court: Air Manipulation which is her most used power under Day Court magic as she has created barriers of hard air for protection and to break her fall and those barriers can block scents and manipulate wind to carry burned ashes of the paintbrush from her hand and then controlled it to carry rosy scents from the garden outside into the room. Light Generation, she can produce white blinding light as she did in Hybern’s castle and glow like she does during copulation with Rhysand. Cursebreaking, she can use the white light of day to cleave through wards and dismantle spells, but some spells are too complex for her to handle as seen with her being unable to cleave through Amren’s wards or dismantle Vassa’s curse, so more simple spells are her playing field. She has control of these abilities as well, using them several times throughout the series. One of her titles is "Cursebreaker".
- Night Court: Darkness Manipulation, she has been seen being able to produce pools of darkness as well as banish light by summoning it in a room during a battle with Hybern soldiers in Adriatia to blind them. Daemati Abilities, where she can read people’s thoughts and project her own through to into other people’s minds, she can alter and control people’s memories and perceptions and emotions as she did with Tarquin as she’d manipulated his perceptions of her and made him trust her and feel safe around her. She also does this when she broke into the mind of a Spring Court sentry and planted false memories to manipulate him in her grand scheme to undermine Tamlin’s sovereignty and weakens his court to be destroyed by Hybern. She does it again with Ianthe by breaking into her mind and compelling her actions and then placing orders in her mind. She has also show the ability to mind hop as she hopped into Lucien’s mind and saw through his eyes. She Has mastery of these abilities due to her training with Rhysand. These abilities are strengthened after she mates with Rhysand and becomes High Lady of the Night Court.
Relationships[]
Rhysand[]
- Main article: Feyre and Rhysand
| “ | Not consort, not wife. Feyre is High Lady of the Night Court. My equal in every way; she would wear my crown, sit on a throne beside mine. Never sidelined, never designated to breeding and parties and childbearing. My queen. | ” |
–Rhysand, A Court of Mist and Fury | ||
Feyre's first impression of Rhysand was that he was the most beautiful male she had ever seen. Once she gets to know Rhys, the image Tamlin had painted of him - of a cruel, self-involved bastard - begins to crack. Rhysand's consistent support and assistance Under The Mountain leads Feyre to almost trust him. He keeps her from shattering emotionally in the second trial and lost the usual calm pretense he normally has while he tries to save her in the third. Their relationship is built upon the foundations laid in A Court of Thorns and Roses: she was the one he revealed all his frustrations to, and she confessed her anguish to him at the end of the book. The two share an understanding of one another, as well as a love for playful banter.
In A Court of Mist and Fury Rhysand rescues Feyre from the Spring Court. He respects her freedom of choice and ability to defend herself; in her darkest times, he encourages her to strengthen her will and to exercise her autonomy. Rhysand struggles with Feyre's feelings of self-hate and eventually helps her to deal with them. Their relationship deepens and they develop romantic feelings for each other. Those feelings - along with some intense sexual desires for one another - continue evolving and eventually they learn that they are mates. After accepting the mating bond, Rhysand makes Feyre the High Lady of the Night Court.
In A Court of Wings and Ruin, the two are shown to miss each other very much while Feyre is in the Spring Court; they share a tearful reunion when she returns to the Night Court. Feyre has found her family with Rhys' Inner Circle, and they hold her in just as high a regard as they do their High Lord. Throughout the book, the two are shown to be very loving and protective of each other, and both are shown to tease and flirt with each other constantly. After the final battle ended, when Rhysand sacrificed himself to put the Cauldron back together, Feyre was devastated. She demanded the other High Lords to bring him back the way they did for her. At the end of the book, the two make a bargain to die at the same time so they are always together.
In A Court of Frost and Starlight both Feyre and Rhysand are stressed out from trying to sort things out after the War. Despite having previously decide to wait a while before entering motherhood, the devastation of the War on Velaris makes her second-guess just how confident she is that she has all the time in the world. After the Winter Solstice party, while being intimate, Feyre uses her daemati powers to show Rhys the image of their son that the Bone Carver had showed her, and she reveals that she is ready to have a baby with Rhys.
In A Court of Silver Flames, Feyre is pregnant with Nyx. The couple is ecstatic at this, although Rhys does become more protective of Feyre, making an air shield around her which prevents anyone from touching her. However, when the danger of Feyre's pregnancy is revealed, Rhys is very worried for Feyre and Nyx's lives, so much so that he goes to Drakon and Miryam, the Dawn Court and even begs Helion on his knees to find something to save Feyre's life. When Feyre finds out that Rhys and the Inner Circle kept the danger of the pregnancy from her, she is very upset with Rhys, although later on, it seems that the two of them have resolved that issue. When Feyre is dying during the birth, Rhys is distraught but listens to Feyre in saying they need to risk themselves with Feyre being cut open to try to save Nyx . When Nesta saves Feyre and Nyx, he goes onto his knees and thanks her. Afterwards, he is seen next to Feyre, looking visibly shaken.
Tamlin[]
In A Court of Thorns and Roses, Feyre's hatred for the fae thaws as she becomes close with Tamlin, High Lord of the Spring Court. Their romantic relationship is passionate.
In A Court of Mist and Fury their relationship develops a rift when they return from Under the Mountain. Tamlin expects Feyre to go along with his political act: play the dutiful bride, honor tradition, and give the inhabitants of the Spring Court a reason to believe that peace has returned to the land. As a result of his trauma as well as a part of keeping up their image, Tamlin becomes extremely overprotective and controlling to the point of lashing out if she questions him and eventually locking her indoors. Being locked up causes Feyre to have a panic attack, leading to the discovery of her ability to manipulate shadows. She breaks off their engagement shortly before being rescued and taken to the Night Court. Due to the time that Feyre spends in the Night Court, certain feelings for Rhysand begin to awaken in her, which were later confirmed when she realized that they were made for each other, that they were mates. With Rhysand she is her own person, a happier person; not a mere consort, but instead the High Lady of the Night Court.
In A Court of Wings and Ruin, Feyre is shown to hold a lot of resentment for Tamlin, particularly for his involvement with Hybern and how her sisters were affected by it. The two's relationship after Feyre returns to the Night Court becomes hateful and strained, as seen at the High Lord's meeting, when he is trying to discredit and humiliate Feyre. However, when Feyre, Azriel, Elain and Briar are escaping from Hybern's camp, Tamlin helps Feyre escape. When the High Lords bring Rhys back to life, Feyre begs Tamlin to give a drop of his power to bring Rhys back, saying she will give him anything. He does so, telling Feyre to be happy. Afterwards, it seems that Feyre has forgiven Tamlin to some degree, with her also wishing Tamlin happiness. Regardless of this somewhat peace that was struck, she still holds resentment and distate for the High Lord of Spring.
In A Court of Frost and Starlight and A Court of Silver Flames, Feyre is shown to not want anything to do with Tamlin.
Isaac Hale[]
Feyre had a distant, almost strictly sexual relationship with a boy from her village named Isaac Hale. He later goes on to marry a girl from the village.
Lucien Vanserra[]
Lucien and Feyre have a rocky relationship. In A Court of Thorns and Roses, he dislikes her at first, being sarcastic and mocking towards her. Slowly, they start trusting each other and are seen joking around. He stands up for Feyre Under the Mountain, helps her in her challenges and even risks his life to heal her. In A Court of Mist and Fury, he pleads with Tamlin to let Feyre train despite knowing it might cause Tamlin to abuse him. But after that he stays on the sidelines and does nothing to help her, no matter how much Feyre begs him to, and also tells Feyre to stop asking Tamlin for more. After Feyre is living in the Night Court, Lucien is sent by Tamlin to take her back. Even after Feyre tells him she doesn't want to return, he insists she can't give up and tries to take her back forcibly; Feyre is shown deeply wounded over his actions to force her back and then when she sees him in in Hybern.
Despite this and Lucien knowing Feyre had only pretended to be under Rhysand's control, when Feyre returns to the Spring Court, she and Lucien support each other, with Lucien defending Feyre when Tamlin attacks her and Feyre defending Lucien from Ianthe and the Hybern royals. Finally, Feyre brings Lucien along to the Night Court after he tells her he wishes to go and they leave the Spring Court.
Their relationship doesn't fully recover as they both cannot understand each other and finally Lucien ends up joining Vassa and Jurian. Despite this, they remain friends with Feyre stating she wants Lucien to be happy and Lucien celebrating Feyre's birthday with her.
Cassian[]
Cassian and Feyre have a close, sibling-like relationship. When they first meet, Cassian is angered at the treatment that Feyre had received from Tamlin, to the point that he had to restrain himself from going to the Spring Court and killing Tamlin himself. He jokes with her, trying to make her laugh. During dinner, Cassian and Feyre relate to each other because both know what it is like to go hungry for a night and to live in poverty. Feyre trains with Cassian. When Feyre has a breakdown in the middle of training, Cassian listens and doesn't condemn her actions from Under the Mountain until Rhys comes in and talks to Feyre. When Cassian's wings are shredded by the King of Hybern, Feyre is distraught.
In A Court of Wings and Ruin, when Cassian and Azriel rescue Feyre and Lucien from Eris and Lucien's other brothers, Feyre cries out in joy upon seeing Cassian's wings healed. Cassian expresses his frustration that Feyre and Rhys kept her anointment as High Lady a secret from the court and that she surrendered herself to the Spring Court at the end of A Court of Mist and Fury. Although he acknowledges that Feyre is capable of taking care of herself, he asks her to remember to rely on her court. Throughout the book, they continue to train together and maintain a close bond.
In A Court of Frost and Starlight, before the Winter Solstice Party, Feyre and Cassian joke around, get drunk and try to decorate.
In A Court of Silver Flames, Cassian and Feyre maintain a strong relationship, as after Cassian has a fight with Nesta, Feyre talks to him and makes him feel better. After Feyre discovers the risk of the pregnancy, she talks to Cassian mind-to-mind, and asks if he is okay, and she asks him to take care of Nesta. When Feyre gives birth, Cassian is shown to be very worried for Feyre.
Azriel[]
Feyre met Azriel when she arrived at the Night Court, after he was introduced as one of Rhysand's friends. At first, Feyre was uneasy and slightly afraid of him, but in the end, he becomes one of her closest friends. Azriel was the one who trained Feyre along with Cassian, and taught her how to fly. He even shares a smile with her after she makes a joke. He also feels free to bring out his dry sense of humor around her.
Morrigan[]
When Tamlin locked Feyre in their house, Rhysand sensed Feyre's distress and sent his cousin Morrigan to rescue her. When sh learned that the color red was a trigger for Feyre, Mor stopped wearing it. When Feyre was upset with Rhys for hiding that they were mates, she ran to Mor and asked her to take her far away from him. When Mor was having flashbacks to her family's abuse during a meeting in Hewn City, Feyre sensed it and subtly nudged her in support, which Mor was grateful for. During the War, the two had become so close that Mor felt comfortable admitting her bisexuality to Feyre. Feyre calls Mor her closest friend and like a sister to her, and Mor is shown to staunchly defend and support Feyre, even against Rhys and Amren. Feyre and Mor often go out for drinks together, and enjoy making fun of the males of the Inner Circle together.
Amren[]
Feyre and Amren have a good relationship. Amren tends to be blunt and honest with Feyre when she needs to be, but she does care for Feyre. Likewise, Feyre is respectful and kind to Amren. During the Winter Solstice party, Feyre gives Amren a special folding carrier for her jigsaw puzzles, which earns her an eye roll and a smile of appreciation from Amren. Feyre also gives Amren a small ruby and silver brooch in the shape of angel wings, which earns her a small peck on the cheek. Feyre sometimes goes out drinking with Amren, like she does with Mor.
Father[]
Feyre has a strained relationship with her father. She is somewhat angry that her father never found work after he was crippled and is ashamed of him. However, when her father shows up at the battle against Hybern sailing a fleet of ships, Feyre is shocked. She is distraught when the King of Hybern snapped his neck; she burns his body to honor him and later sets up a headstone. Despite her anger towards him, she does grieve him, At the end of A Court of Silver Flames, Feyre introduces Nyx to him. In a bonus chapter, it is revealed that Feyre used his name as a middle name for Nyx.
Nesta Archeron[]
The young huntress has a complicated relationship with her oldest sister Nesta. Feyre thinks Nesta was born with a sneer on her face and the two often bicker. Nesta's voice is the one Feyre hears in her head when she's insecure. However, Feyre still loves her sister, and she warns Nesta that the guy she wishes to marry is not right for her. Feyre is surprised to learn that Nesta went searching for Feyre after Tamlin took her away. Nesta also listens to Feyre's advice and dumps the guy she was seeing. As Nesta's walls come down and she heals, Feyre realizes that she misunderstood her sister and the two grow a little closer.
In A Court of Mist and Fury, Nesta is cold and unwelcoming to Feyre because she is upset that Feyre's status as High Fae will put their lives and Elain's engagement in danger, but she agrees to help Feyre defend the human lands. At the end of the book, she and Elain are forcibly turned into High Fae and Feyre feels horrible about it.
In A Court of Wings and Ruin, Nesta is angry and resentful of Feyre because she blames her for her and Elain's transformation into High Fae. Over the course of the book, the two bond over their desires to protect the human lands and their shared concern over Elain. However, in A Court of Frost and Starlight, their relationship becomes strained. Feyre tries to persuade Nesta to come to the Winter Solstice party, but Nesta refuses. Nesta only agrees to come when Feyre bribes her by saying she will pay her rent if she comes. When Nesta arrives, the two don't speak to each other, although Nesta does wish her a happy birthday.
The two's relationship is further strained when Nesta is forced to move into the House of Wind and train with Cassian. The two get into an argument and it ends with Nesta refusing to speak to her sister ever again. Feyre is shown talking to Cassian after and expressing how worried she is for Nesta and that she is trying to help her. The two don't interact too much throughout the book, but their relationship does improve after Nesta begins to heal. Nesta recognizes that Feyre was trying to help her and that she was grateful for it. She reflects on their dynamic and while she feels she failed Feyre and had struggled to accept Feyre's love partially due to that, she begins to open herself up to feeling.
When Feyre is dying while giving birth to Nyx, Nesta uses the Dread Trove to save Feyre from death. Nesta then strikes a bargain with the Cauldron. giving back all the power she stole from it if it would save Feyre, Nyx and Rhysand from death. Nesta tells Feyre she loves her, something she's never done before, and Feyre awakens, and tells Nesta she loves her too. The two then hug.

At the end of the book, two are seen together with Elain and Nyx, visiting their father's grave.
Elain Archeron[]
Feyre has a better relationship with her other sister Elain who is described as innocent and doesn't grasp things like her other sisters do. Feyre has a soft spot for Elain and buys her seeds for the flower garden that Elain tends to in the milder months whenever Feyre can afford it. In return, Elain gave Feyre a gift: three small pints of paint one summer. Feyre was very happy with her gift and painted her house with little vines and flowers along the windows and thresholds and edges of things, tiny curls of flame on the stones bordering the hearth. Any spare minutes Feyre had that summer she would bedeck their house in color, sometimes hiding clever decorations inside drawers, behind the threadbare curtains, underneath the chairs and table. In A Court of Mist and Fury, Elain still welcomes her into their home, even though she is High Fae. When Elain goes into a depression after being turned into High Fae, Feyre is shown to be very concerned for her. In A Court of Frost and Starlight and A Court of Silver Flames, the two remain close.
Nyx[]
Nyx is Feyre's newborn son. Even before he is born, Feyre was shown to love him very much, such as when she found out about the danger of her pregnancy, she chose not to panic so Nyx wouldn't feel those emotions. Even when it posed a risk to her life and Madja warns her Nyx likely wouldn't survive, she insisted on trying everything to save Nyx.
In a bonus chapter of House of Flame and Shadow, Nesta tells Bryce that Feyre is a perfect mother to Nyx.
