The Woven Bloom: A flower with petals that resemble intricate weavings, symbolizing the entwining of magic and nature that is at the core of her being.
The Silvered Wing: A delicate, shimmering dragonfly wing, representing both her ethereal presence and her boundless curiosity.
Holidays
Unlike most other divines, holidays attributed to Titania's worship do not have precise calendar dates, instead occurring at approximately the same time of the year, every year.
Dance of the First Leaf (Mid-Crimsonbloom): This festival, which occurs in the middle of Crimsonbloom, celebrates the first leaves of the year. It's a time when people and fae alike engage in dances and merriment to honor Titania. As this month marks the beginning of winter, this celebration is also a way to bring warmth and cheerfulness during the cold days.
Night of Silver Wings (End of Purplebloom): Occurring on the last nights of Purplebloom, this celebration marks the end of winter and the impending arrival of Seasontide. Followers of Titania gather to celebrate with a night of storytelling and sharing secrets, symbolizing the delicate balance between knowledge and mystery that Titania embodies.
Woven Blooms Day (Mid-Ivorybloom): Celebrated in the midst of Ivorybloom, which is the month of summer, people weave flowers into intricate patterns and leave them as offerings to Titania in groves and meadows. The day is marked by an outpouring of creativity and artistic expression, honoring Titania's enchanting and whimsical nature.
Summerlight Festival (Beginning of Ivorybloom): In early of Ivorybloom, this festival honors Titania with a celebration of light. Participants light lanterns and engage in festivities that last from dawn till dusk. This festival marks the height of Titania's power and is celebrated with great zeal.
Festival of Trickling Streams (Beginning of Azurebloom): In early Azurebloom, the thawing ice gives way to trickling streams and the rebirth of nature. During this festival, people create miniature boats with wishes written on them and set them sailing down the streams as offerings to Titania.
These celebrations are known for their vibrant colors, lively music, and the blurring of lines between the mortal and fey realms, as Titania's influence is at its strongest during these times. The holidays are also marked by the exchange of gifts between the denizens of the Material Plane and the fey, symbolizing the bond between them.

Physical Description
Body Features
Titania’s appearance is characterized by a unique blend of child-like whimsy and ethereal maturity. Her physique typically resembles that of a lithe humanoid, but it can change subtly depending on her mood or the state of the Feywild.
She is usually seen with a stature that is shorter than an average human adult but taller than a child, approximately 5 feet in height. However, her height is known to be variable, reflecting her mercurial nature.
Titania's eyes are an expressive feature, large and round with an almost innocent sparkle that is reminiscent of a curious child. The colors of her eyes continuously shift and change, reflecting the untamed magic of the Feywild. They convey a depth of wisdom and ancient knowledge that contrasts her otherwise youthful appearance.
Her hair is unruly and cascades in thick waves down to her waist. It is often tangled with leaves, flowers, and vines, as if she has been running through the forests of the Feywild without a care. The color of her hair is not fixed and changes like the seasons.
Her skin appears soft and smooth, akin to a young sapling. It has an earthy hue that changes subtly with the seasons and is often speckled with natural markings such as leaf patterns or the semblance of bark. Titania has delicate wings akin to those of dragonflies, often barely visible and shimmering with a translucent glow. Her wings buzz with an erratic energy reminiscent of a child filled with boundless excitement and curiosity.
Her garments look like they are crafted spontaneously from elements of the forest. They seem functional and playful, often resembling tunics or dresses made of leaves, vines, and petals. Her attire appears comfortable, allowing for ease of movement, as though she is ever ready to engage in frolic and exploration.
