Editing Swan Maiden (section)

===Frailty===
====Profound Loss====
Whether it’s the innocent puppy love of childlings, the impassioned flings of wilders, or the devoted attachment of grumps, swan maidens love profoundly… and losses devastate them accordingly. Any time a loving relationship ends, for whatever reason, the swan maiden suffers a Banality trigger. Note that this is not limited to romantic connections, but can apply to close family and friend relationships as well. Should the relationship be especially deep – a long-term lover, a best friend, a sibling – in addition to the usual Banality trigger, the swan maiden must roll her Glamour (difficulty 8). If she fails the roll, she gains a dot of Banality.

====Mantle of the Maiden====
Due to their origins in dreams of idealized romantic purity, swan maidens cannot regain Willpower or use their Love Conquers All Birthright for three full days after enjoying consensual sexual intimacy, even if it was with their beloved. Despite rumors to the contrary, however, physical intimacy is not actually harmful or painful and swan maidens can still fully enjoy sexual relations. As a rule, simple acts such as cuddling, hugging, holding hands, and even some chaste kissing are fine, but anything beyond that triggers this debility. The Storyteller is the final arbiter of whether an encounter is intimate enough to set off this Frailty. Nonconsensual encounters never activate this Frailty, though it’s worth noting that Storytellers should definitely discuss well in advance whether players are comfortable confronting topics such as sexual violence and molestation before including them in game.<ref>Storyteller's Note: This type of plot will never be an active part of game, but may be chosen by a player as an aspect of backstory.</ref>

====True Love’s Curse====
One of the great secrets of the swan maiden kith is that within seven days after they find True Love – most often this is romantic love, though on some rare occasions, a friendship or family bond qualifies – the swan maiden is confronted with a terrible choice. Either they must acquire the Dark Fate Flaw, or their beloved will. Unlike most who suffer from this Flaw, the swan maiden has a strong sense of how close the Dark Fate is to being fulfilled, and she often has visions of what form it will take. Ending the relationship puts this doom on hold, so to speak, but it must be a clean break – if the other person enters their life again, even just for a short time, the Dark Fate resumes, and this time it cannot be stopped. It also unstoppably resumes if the swan maiden finds another emotional connection on this level. If the True Love is another player character, both players must agree on who receives the Dark Fate. This Frailty does not apply unless the True Love Merit is purchased.
