< Skys Motley | Buncha Motleys | Autumn Motley >
By far the dominant personality in her Motley, Mercedes actually got her start in Changeling society as a member of the Scene. A mixture of interpersonal conflicts made the match a poor one, however, and Mercedes struck out on her own with fellow Scene-member Natalya Loveless in what began as a fairly small and personal motley bond. In defiance of the popular perception that Mercedes and Natalya would end up at each others throats before the end of a year, the Motley has lasted over 15 years and gained a few additional members.
The first of these was Prism, formerly of Sky's Motley, alternatively in love with both Mercedes and Natalya. The tough Earthbones serves as the pairs muscle and emotional Emory board. Lisabeth Crow acts as something akin to a little sister of the group, having left Creepy in hopes of fitting in with the cool girls instead of always being a freak. Both Mercedes and Natalya like the young Whisperwisp, but see her as needing a good bit of emotional maturation before shes a true equal. More recently, the Motley has formally accepted Witless Walter into their little club, with some hesitation given the years the Drudge has spent stalking them.
