Muirneach ni Eileen Dubh
Name of Player: Lissa Target Realm: WL Sex: Female Age: 25 Race: Caucasian Height: 5'3 Weight: 125 Voice: Contralto Hair Color: Black Eye Color: Green Complexion: Pale Build: Strong, athletic, toned and curvy. Tattoos/Piercings/Scars/Birthmarks: Muirn has ritual woad tattoos across her face, in spirals over her breasts, and down around her navel. The woad consists of geometric lines, shapes, and spirals evocative of her religious heritage, and mark her as a Druid. Her ears, nipples, and navel are pierced. Sexual Preference: Heterosexual Fantasy: All Muirn wants is to be with her husband and her child. Strengths: Strength of will, a closeness with nature that defies logical explanation, utter devotion to her soul-mate Darith Weaknesses: She is not as physically strong as she once was because Cai's birth nearly killed her and she has been slow in recovering. She has lost most of her will to live after being separated from her husband and child. She is an oath-breaker to her Order. Odd Quirks (if applicable): Muirn spends at least an hour every dawn and dusk in ritualized worship. She has a tendency to speak in riddles and enigmas. Personality: Before Muirn was separated from her family, she was the very soul of calm and didn't know what it meant to lose her temper. Now, she is angry, and bitter, and near-suicidal at times. The only thing keeping her alive is the chance to make it back to Darith and Cai. At her heart, Muirn is a very logical woman, not often ruled by emotions. She is a wonderful judge and negotiator and knows how to bring out the best in people. She has an off-beat and sometimes dark sense of humor, and she is most at home in a natural setting, having never really adapted to life behind castle walls. She has a tendency to be restless at times, and to go wandering. Hobbies: Muirn loves to carve small idols from bone and gives them to people as tokens of luck, health, etc. Skills: Competent with a Quarterstaff; a good negotiator; persuasion; human insight and empathy; she is basically a Pagan, a Druid in the historical sense, and is very close to nature and the elements. Weapons (if applicable): An oak quarterstaff that bears antlers representing Cernunnos, the God of the Hunt, and raven feathers that represent the Morrighan, Goddess of War. Occupation: A Druid. Cleric, judge, wise-woman. Background History: Muirn was born to a small, largely nomadic, tribe that had yet to advance in terms of civilization and still followed the old ways. She was orphaned at a young age, and the Raven Sept, a Druid Order devoted to the Morrighan, took her in and trained her in their ways. She stayed with them until she was 18 years old, at which point she took the vows of her Order. Her vows demanded chastity and strict obedience to the Order and the old ways. After she took her vows, she was assigned a "circuit" that she would ride. On this circuit, she would act as a Judge, a Cleric, and sometimes a neutral Negotiator in the various villages in her path. When she was 21 years old, she stopped at a small village to act as a Judge in the matters currently before the Court. Here she heard the story of a young man named Darith, who was to be put to death as a witch-he possessed a heightened empathy and could read surface thoughts, which marked him as a danger in the eyes of the frightened community. Instead of ordering his execution, Muirn was moved to pity him, and handed down a judgment that would change the rest of her life. Darith was to serve as her scribe and servant for a year and a day, at which point he would be released from service. She did not expect to fall in love with him, and even when she did, did not expect that he would return that love. It violated every Vow she had ever taken with her Order, but on the night before his release, Muirn and Darith defied the Gods and her Order and he took her as his mate. Muirn made a new vow that night-that she would never be separated from him, even if it meant that her Gods would reject her. They traveled to Pamala's estate, and there they continued to live as man and wife while Muirn served as an advisor to Pamala. In time, Muirn became pregnant. She very nearly died in birthing Cai, and in many ways never recovered from the delivery. Muirn thought, having survived the birth of her child, that she and Darith would continue to live as man and wife beyond eternity, so closely are their souls united. But her Order came for her, branded her an Oath-breaker, and demanded that she fulfill the Vows she took as a young woman. Too weak to fight them, but heartbroken by her loss, she has been with them ever since. The only thing driving Muirn now is her determination to break the bonds on her and to be reunited with her husband and her child.
