Questionwhat would a maid of dreams do, and what would her powers be? *I know fanon godtier, but this one is my fave* Answer

Admittedly, neither TC or I know too much about fanon Aspects, but I’ll try my best here.

Powers and Role: CA

The Maid and the Sylph are the active-passive pair for the Creation classes. They’re classes believed to be populated entirely by females, but given how we have obtained no truly definitive answer as to how correct that belief is, we’re going to take it with a grain of salt. Either way, Maids create their Aspect for themselves above all else. While they might create their Aspect for others on occasion that generally only comes about when that creating happens to coincide with a need to create for themselves. If a Maid only creates for others, that is a symptom of inversion, and likely this creation passively destroys another Aspect. Of course, we don’t really know what the opposite of Dreams as a fanon Aspect would be, so we won’t talk too much of it.
Dreams, from what I understand of it, is a very straightforward Aspect. But beyond simply Dreams as in sleeping, it could also be taken to mean aspirations and desires, and might have a connection to imagination as well (as in daydreaming). A Maid of Dreams would have some lingering ties to their Aspect and show them throughout their daily lives, like Aradia did with her fascination with archaeology (death and Time are synonymous, thematically), and while this might not mean that they’re, say, narcoleptic such as Jade, but it could mean that they have a lot of ideas for how they want to spend their life, a lot of aspirations and desires, or that they’re an imaginative person, creative. They might paint, write, sing, take a ton of photos, who knows? In any case, a Maid of Dreams is a pleasant character, with perhaps a bit too little connection to the real world.
A Maid of Dreams would have their dream self wake up incredibly early, and they and their session would be all the better for it, as the Maid would be able to go to the dead and asleep for advice. It’s hard to know for sure, but I think that a Maid of Dreams might start out with their dream selves wandering, sleep floating, for a lack of a better word, and would always be drawn to where the dream bubbles stand. If no one else is awake when the Maid is, and if no one is able to stop them, they might actually be able to just float their way into the dream bubbles on their own, and when that self wakes up, they would be able to speak with the dead and asleep. They would go to them for advice, for guidance, to get hints. In fact, once their dream self wakes up, they would likely just be able to start out dreaming wherever they want or need to. If the Maid knows that they need to speak with someone in particular from a dream bubble, they just need to fall asleep, and, poof! They’re there. They’re the perfect lucid dreamer.
On another note, I think that a Maid of Dreams would be able to just create dream bubbles at will, independent of their own memories. If a Maid of Dreams was around, they would be easily able to undo the damage to the dream bubbles that Lord English had done. In addition to that, I think the Maid of Dreams would be able to create from dreams, summoning real objects that they had dreamed of to their side while they sleep, perhaps even making an unreal object physically real once they’re skilled enough.
Dreams as an Aspect has a lot of similarities to Space given its connection to creation, and to Void and Time, specifically found in its connections with the dream bubbles. It’s an interesting Aspect, and I can see why the tier the Maid of Dreams is your favorite.
If you’re looking for roles, I think a Maid of Dreams wouldn’t actually have much to do with their powers in, say, the heat of battle. They do have to sleep to activate them, as where dreams exist all over, they would need to sleep to access the control panel, per se. However they would be very good at providing for themselves and their teammates before a battle, giving them weapons and summoning what they should need. When they lucid dream they would be able to immediately summon whatever they need to their side in real life, creating it from nothing in some circumstances. I believe as a sort of quartermaster, a Maid of Dreams would truly be of the most use to their team.
