Atelier Snip & Tuck (Co-proprietor), Master Tailors' Guild

One-half of the undisputed monarchs of High Faerie tailoring, Snip is the sharp, architectural mind behind Atelier Snip & Tuck. Armed with shears forged from star-iron, Snip cuts through moonspun silk, shadow-velvet, and living gossamer with mathematical ruthlessness. Where her twin Tuck soothes and drapes, Snip scolds, alters, and dictates. In her view, anatomy is merely a crude suggestion that must be forcefully corrected by tailoring, and she has reduced haughty fae dukes to tears over an unflattering inseam.

Snip knows that a garment in the Eternal City is only as formidable as the armor it conceals. She works closely with high-society patrons like Lord Primrose, outfitting the elite in pieces laced with defensive enchantments, concealed poison slits, and glamours designed to confound court rivals. Though snobbish about her craft, Snip maintains an unsentimental eye on the Undercroft; she frequently buys raw, black-market textiles—stolen spider silk and contraband moth-down—laundered through gutter networks, recognizing exquisite material regardless of its squalid origin.
