Somewhat justified as it has a pure steel blade with is very effective against anyone with fae blood, but she still receives a lot of ribbing for it from the rest of team; especially her boyfriend Jean-Pierre.

The setting is an otherworld whose people were the inspiration for legends of elves. Unlike many depictions of [[LandOfFaerie Faerie]], it isn't stuck in MedievalStasis, but has developed a technology level and society equivalent to our world's in the 1930s. Very equivalent. While it is regarded as an association of sun worshippers, Japan and Germany are getting kinda close. . .

* TheFairFolk: Most inhabitants of the fair world. The Fair Folk are just as morally varied as humans are. Furthermore, the fair world has advanced at the nearly same rate as the human world, so fairies in the 1990s have 1930s level technology, mixed with magic (which is no longer called magic because it can be studied scientifically). And they've interbred with humans so many times as a result of changelings and other visitations that most are nearly human height.
