Lacuna's true nature (theory) [CD Spoilers]

--- Quote from: KevinSig on July 19, 2013, 10:05:29 AM ---While I love the notion that Lucuna is a tooth fairy, I'm sticking with my gut feeling that Lacuna was force fed by Ace, as Ace was trying to duplicate Harry's guard. Lacuna thinks the pizza made her bigger, which from Toot, we understand is considered a bad thing.
Much like being fat.

First I'll admit that the below doesn't necessarily reflect on what Lacuna "thinks." Heck Toot thinks washing himself will cause him to shrink like a wool sweater. But I thought I'd quote it because it explains what is actually causing the Toot's growth.
--- Quote from: 2009 lexington signing ---Q: How big will Toot get?
A: Depends on how much influence he has in the world. That’s how the sidhe gain their size and power. Mab wasn’t always as big as she is now.

--- Quote from: 2010 Bitten by Books Q&A: ---#150 Is Toot-toot’s increase in size due to his actions, or the title and followers he has acquired doing Harry’s bidding?”
It’s due to /Harry’s/ actions, mostly. Toot done hitched his star to Harry’s wagon. As a result, he’s taken actions he never would have taken on his own, some of which had major consequences. Toot has effectively become a much more powerful being than he was as an independent dewdrop faerie. The physical growth is a reflection of that fact.
I mean gosh, where do you think the Sidhe came from in the first place?

I hope this isn't hijacking the topic, but doesn't that WOJ contradict just a bit of what Mab said in CDs? The hint that she was once human? Here Jim seems to be saying that Mab might have been a dew drop fairy at one time.. Or most likely she was a changeling, thus half human and chose? So implications for Molly, I still think she is a changeling or she couldn't have become one of the queens.

Thats a strange and twisted topic. From the books Ive always been under the impression that "Sidhe" referred to a specific race/breed of relatively humanoid Fae, and that they happened to be the ruling class of the Courts. But there are recent WOJ's that define it as the top echelon of /any/ of the various fae races; so by that definition Sith, Erl, and the Reaper were all sidhe, even though they were a Maulk, a Goblin, and a Fetch, respectively. So by that definition Toot could become a Sidhe if he gained sufficient power, regardless of his origins.

Though after Maeve is killed and Harry confronts Mab, she admits to having been human once, or at least having human emotions... So she couldn't have started out as a dew drop fairy. Though she could have been a changeling, thus at least half human before she became Winter Lady, this must be true for Titania as well because the implication is that she and Mab are indeed sisters, or did I read that wrong?
Quantus:
Your missing my point. MAB may have been a changeling/Human before she became a fae, but that doesnt mean all of them are, or that all the fae that reach the level of sidhe have followed that path. Sith is a Malk Sidhe, but I doubt he was ever human. Same goes for the a number of the more un-anthropomorphized fae races, like the rawhead.
