Samhaintha
Doc Samhaintha is a Satyr, presumably Seelie, and member of the Hippocrates' Dream Warriors Tragos.
Overview
Sam experienced her Chrysalis in high school. Unfortunately, the trauma and her subsequent reaction landed her in a drug rehab program in the area mental hospital. Fortunately, her new psychologist diagnosed her "problem" more accurately than her previous doctor had. He was also a satyr, Nikos of the North, and he became Sam's mentor. She followed in his footsteps to eventually become the most prominent of the Dream Warriors.
She studied psychology at Stanford University along with several other members of the tragos. Evenings and weekends, when not studying, she romped and played with her mates in a never-ending stream of sensuality that kept her Glamour intact despite the banal subject matter of her course load. After two extra years of classes to make up for those she had failed due to inattention, she finally graduated with a doctorate in psychology. Sam then left her tragos to work in a Seattle mental institution; her misery lightened by the knowledge that she is a warrior of the Dreaming.
In subsequent years, she has rescued an enormous number of changelings and mortal dreamers from a fate worse than death. Sam, like her fellow Hippies, braves the frightening dreams of the truly insane and the dangerous theories of psychiatrists in order to rescue those like herself; whose only crime is to sense the world's more magical aspects. She takes her responsibilities very seriously, including that she must pursue her own Passions all the more actively in order to stave off the Banality that constantly threatens her. She lives on the edge, fighting nervosa by day and dancing, singing, and making love by night. The legends of her deeds continue to grow, inspiring others to greatness.
