Early Life []

As a child, she had three faerie friends, Spike, Lutie and Gristle, and was also acquainted with the Thistlewitch. Since then she has moved to a more urban part of the state with her mother, a musician, traveling from city to city with the rock band.

In Tithe Kaye meets Roiben while in the forest. Roiben is running from people chasing him down when he comes across Kaye. This leads Kaye to then discover the existence of the faerie realm, which she thought was just a childhood dream.

Kaye discovers that she is a pixie and has been wearing a human glamour her whole life. This leads her to realize that she was switched at birth and the real Kaye Fierch is somewhere in the Faerie realm. This also means that her mother is not her real mother, who is totally unaware that Kaye is not her real daughter.

The Cruel Prince[]

Kaye attends the coronation where Balekin Greenbriar stages his unsuccessful coup. She is in Lord Roiben's tent eating Chinese food from the mortal realm with him when Jude Duarte arrives to speak with Lord Roiben about an alliance.

Kaye asks Jude why she cares who gets the throne. Jude tells her that she cares because Faerieland is where she lives and even if she hates it half the time, it's hers.

In special editions of The Cruel Prince Kaye and Roiben can be seen together talking about the cafe that Kaye owns. Kaye tells Roiben that she wants to come to live with him in the Court of Termites, instead of living in the human world and only seeing Roiben occasionally. Roiben is unsure at first but then becomes happy at the news that Kaye wants to live with him.[1]

The Wicked King[]

When Queen Orlagh attacks the Court of Termites, Kaye is injured. Lord Roiben is furious when Cardan does not allow him to retaliate. The unprovoked and lack of retribution was part of the deal to get Jude back from the Undersea, but Lord Roiben can't know this.

The Queen of Nothing[]

While visiting the High Court, Kaye punches Nicasia in the face for the attack that left her badly injured. Kaye now bears a scar that starts at her throat and runs down over her chest. Nicasia's selkie guards rush toward her and get into it with a knight, Ben Evans who had rushed to defend Kaye. Roiben and Jude run to the scene. Jude tells Nicasia that she's lucky that's all Kaye did. She then declares that it is over. Kaye seemingly agrees, and she and Roiben leave.
