Tell the group what you'd like us to know about your character. No need to share stats or character secrets unless you choose to. If you have an inspiration picture like this Charles Vess illustration (or you made your own art), drop it in!
To get us started, here's beginning-level NPC. I'm attaching her character sheet as an example. If you want the group to see your character sheet, feel free to share it here; otherwise, use this space to post what you want the group to know about your character ... backstory, appearance, habits, etc.

Lady Cassandra Wilkes
Cassie Wilkes awakened as a changeling relatively late in life ... at age 48, following a car accident in which she suffered a traumatic brain injury. She is a boggan who loves creating beauty around her through sewing, painting, carpentry, interior design, and gardening. Prior to her stroke, she lived as an interior designer ... with lots of spells of "personal assistant" and even "rent girl" thrown in.
At the time of her injury, Cassie was driving a Rolls-Royce car owned by her employer, a rich lesbian named Agatha de Vine. Agatha was injured during the crash, but she also survived. Agatha, a former changleing who had surrendered to Banality, nonetheless was able to explain to Cassie what was going on with her as she experienced her first Chrysalis, or changeling awakening.
Agatha, who was in her 70s, died a year later. She deeded her mansion, Plum Spires, to Cassie, her former protegee, girl Friday, and lover.
When she realized she was a changeling, Cassie took the name Lady Cassandra and established her new home as a safe house for changelings in Atlanta. Outwardly, Plum Spires is an artists' workspace, where painters, textile artists, and sculptors can rent living/studio space. All the artists, though, are changelings or changelings' muses. And yes, the ethics of this situation are murky. Are the non-changleing artists being kept as "Glamour ghouls"? It's worth considering. Cassie has the gift of gab. She can make anyone like her. She is a good artist, though not a great one, but she is a great impressario. She knows how to detect and cultivate talent. She's also good at connecting people who can help each other.
Lady Cassandra is that rarity among fae: she's a conservative Christian, a member of the Anglican communion. She's fantastically high church and loves the smell of incense. She rarely enters The Dreaming because it makes her feel odd seeing the old gods strolling around ... though she typically explains them to herself as C.S. Lewis would, as "types" or echoes of Christ.
Lady Cassandra is a good shot and has a chimerican Glock, as well as large collection of mundane firearms.

So ... there's Lady Cassandra. Feel free to claim her as a contact.
