Mistress Of Weather (Ex) The Fair Maid is one with the weather, suffering no hindrance to her movement and actions from weather effects and seeing through fog, intense rain, and sleet. She can cast control weather with a standard action, though it takes 1d10 minutes for the effects to manifest. If she spends one hour casting control weather with a wild aerial dance, the effects manifest after 1d4 hours and last for 3d10 days instead.

Winds Of Fury (Su) The Fair Maid doesn't fight herself, the surrounding air does that for her. When in combat, The Fair Maid is surrounded by wild winds, rain, sleet, hail, and occasional lightning strikes. The wet, slipper ground and the buffeting winds halve the movement speed of all creatures within 100 feet. Each round, The Fair Maid may select up to ten different targets within 100 feet that suffer one of the following effects each: 10d6 points of cold damage from chilling winds, 10d6 points of electricity damage from a lightning strike, 10d6 points of bludgeoning damage from hail, entangled in mud and ice until a successful saving throw or Strength check is made (repeated each round after the first as a full-round action), blinded with wind and sleet for 1d4 rounds, pushed 1d4 × 5 feet in a random direction (1d6 × 5 ft. if Small, 2d4 × 5 ft. if Tiny). Each target can negate the effects suffered with a successful Reflex saving throw (DC 21). The saving throw DC is Intelligence-based.

The Fair Maid Of The Reluctant Spring is a Fey princess that embodies the unpredictable time between the winter and the spring. Like the time she is bound to, she is capricious and moody, with little regard for well-being of others. She can also be quite petty and vengeful toward those who insulted her, and she can perceive many seemingly harmless acts as insulting while tolerating blatant rudeness.

The common folk often try to propitiate her with offerings and festivals, with mixed effects. Occasionally she picks lovers, occasionally she even attends feasts in her honor, but sometimes she remains distant and brooding, and the land suffers her caprices long into the late spring.
