Noticed something interesting from a Q&A Seanan did for the October Daye series yesterday.
So question was, "Can you explain how Oberon claims his children?" which lead to a long answer to get the whole picture of how bloodlines and heritage work in Seanan's Faerie.
The part that got my attention was:
Also, sometimes, kids go "I want to be yours" and are quietly dissuaded, either by him or by their mothers. Antigone would have claimed his [Oberon's] name, but her younger brothers and sisters needed her, and she couldn't have stayed with them as a Child of Oberon.
Which says to me in her heart of hearts, the Luidaeg is a child of Oberon. Which, in turn, brings some interesting light to how she deals with heroes.
Also, Nine Inch Nails' Hurt works really well as a Luidaeg song, though she might appreciate Sheryl Crow's cover more.
