To discover more about Feyre Archeron, read about her role in A Court of Mist and Fury, A Court of Wings and Ruin, and A Court of Thorns and Roses.
Feyre’s life has been marked by deprivation and danger. As a human, she was raised in impoverished circumstances and took to hunting along the dangerous border between the faerie and human realms in order to put food on the table. After entering the faerie world, she has faced significant trials, almost losing her life several times. Now, the war with Hybern is over, and Feyre struggles to adjust to this new sense of peace and prosperity. When she walks around Velaris during the festive Solstice season, she can hardly believe that she no longer has to fight for survival. Further, she frets over wasting money despite the vast wealth that she now possesses as Rhysand’s mate and High Lady of the Night Court. She carefully draws out plans for minor expenses, such as the hire of a secretary, and balks at the prices of the gifts she purchases for her friends. At the end of the novel, when Rhysand reveals that he has purchased an entire estate as a gift for Feyre, she at first rejects the gift, worrying that he is spending too much money. These anxieties do not stem from her present financial circumstances, as she is now immeasurably wealthy, but from her earlier life, when she had to carefully save up resources. As she looks over the art supplies in her new studio, for example, she reflects upon the three, meager pots of paint that she treasured during her life as a human.
Though Feyre places full trust in her loved ones and speaks openly about her feelings with Rhysand, she turns to art to better process and express those feelings that she does not fully understand herself. During the restless months spent planning and executing the war against Hybern, Feyre had no time to dedicate to painting. Now, with the war over and the Solstice season in full swing, Feyre is finally able to revisit her passion for art. She is deeply touched when Ressina, a painter who works in The Rainbow, the artists’ quarter of Velaris, identifies her as a fellow artist, suggesting that this is an important part of her identity that is generally overshadowed by her status as High Lady of the Night Court. When she paints, she allows her own emotions to guide her and is sometimes surprised by the results.
