Default Re: [Spoilers?] Blue and Orange Morality: Adapting the Faerie Courts

The traditional distinction - in the UK anyway - was not Summer/Winter but the Seelie (happy) and UnSeelie (unhappy) fae.
The Seelie fae were generally good natured - but still easily offended and, frankly, not safe to have around even when they liked you. They traditionally hung out in groups. Unseelie fae tended to be actively malicious and have ideas of fun that involved sadism and were more likely to be solitary (although the sluagh were a famously nasty swarm of evil mini fae that numbered in the thousands).
