To the last question, we have limited info, but I would think not well. When Tybalt takes Toby into the Kingdom of Cats in Late Eclipses he states it's the first time a "child of Oberon" has been there since he became King. So unless Amandine's mother turns out to be a common progenitor with the Caith Sidhe, it'd be mixed blood and all the yuck that often goes with it.

Yeah, that was one of the first things I thought about too :) It's too bad, because I think Toby would like more children at some point. Then again, she might well be able to "fix" that problem, particularly in her own offspring.

Unless, of course, "child of Oberon" simply means any fae who isn't Cait Sidhe. In which case, disregard the above :)

The Cait Sidhe have parentage with all three: Maeve, Oberon, AND Titania.

Remember that most races are "claimed" by one of the Three. The Cait Sidhe are the only major unclaimed race; Oberon is technically the boss of them, but they didn't listen to him even when he was around, and they don't consider themselves children of Oberon.
