Mercutio and his older brother Antoni are minor heirs of the Riviere House. Mercutio was a pretty isolated child; his brother was shipped off to boarding school for disobedience and Mercutio was left largely alone in his wake. Him and Marseilles were childhood friends as much as their overbearing families would allow it, so they're good friends now but when they were young they didn't have many opportunities to actually see each other. Mercutio is something of a classic ignored child even now; he's desperate to be liked and tries too hard to impress people so he can come off as somewhat brash and impolite when among strangers. When he's not trying he's a lot funnier and easier to get along with. The Farrow House collapsed six years ago when all the male heirs vanished and then resurfaced as swans and shortly after that the heads of the family died. The house was left singularly to Islebill, strange and silent since her brothers disappeared and largely alone in her massive house. The other noble houses were quick to put distance between themselves and Islebill, like her family's misfortune was catching, including the Riviere House.
About six months after her brothers were turned Mercutio ran into Islebill in the woods surrounding their neighbouring estates. They became friends somewhat accidentally; Mercutio felt less pressure to impress her what with her family's crashing status and her being mute. They began meeting somewhat regularly, and on his way to her one afternoon he stumbled on a really beautiful pond with a huge swan. The bird startled and took off but Mercutio brought seed and greens the next time he came by and the habit became to feed the swan and talk at him for an hour and then meet Islebill. Mercutio was actually fairly happy; and then Islebill broke her brothers' curse and her silence and the Farrow House exploded back into political importance. Mercutio came to the manor a few weeks afterward to check on Islebill and offer any help and ran into her brother Fitcher outside. It took Mercutio a moment of off-kilter familiarity to recognize Fitcher's wings as the same as the swan he'd been feeding for years. Mercutio has a massive crush on Fitcher already but he's been trying to give the other boy space to readjust to human life. The whole Farrow family knows about Mercutio's feelings but Fitcher has zero idea.

and then learn from their mistakes
