Character Information

Summary

Former diplomatic and overt operative for Tír na nÓg in Seattle. After having her perspective on the world altered by reality she made some trouble, biting off a little more than she wanted. She took some time off and has decided to go into 'business' for herself.

Goals

• Make peace with Spirits of Man
• Increase her influence in her 'neighborhood'
• Live outside corporate control

Background

Born early in the century, she grew up during the formation of Tír na nÓg. A sense of patriotism for the new state, coupled with her magical talents and the right ear shape made her a shoe in for work with the diplomatic service and as an overt agent for more clandestine actions. During the mid century she climbed the ranks, working for the betterment of her homeland. Negotiation, metahuman intelligence, and, quite obviously, magic were her specialties.

On being assigned to Seattle, she established a home in the eastern reaches of the city-state and quickly found herself attuned to the land. This is the home she currently occupies, an interesting, mostly underground domicile in a partially wooded area. It incurred a lengthy commute, but when you have a driver that seems like much less of an issue.

While in Seattle, she had contacts in the underworld, the corporate arena - practically everywhere one could imagine, including eco-terrorist cells. At the same time, she was becoming more and more aware of the suffering of the down trodden and the treachery of corporations. It might not be empathy, but she certainly feels pity for those at the bottom rung and is even inclined to help them. Along with this pity, she detests the corporate single minded focus on profit, ignoring the meta-human cost, and perhaps more importantly the effect their actions have on the natural world. This disdain comes through in how she behaves with corporate managers.

In early 2070, her connection to her home started to cause her problems. She constantly felt slightly ill. This nagging unease and discomfort was enough to draw her focus and after a month of digging she found that detergent manufactured and used by Sumitomo Chemicals were seeping into Snohomish river. The chemicals were slowly drifting upstream in small tributaries including a creek that ran through her 'neighborhood'.

Her own political and diplomatic efforts were always applied in service of her country leaving her feeling hamstrung in using these means to solve her own problem.

Narrative Significant Qualities

Positive

• Glamour
  • Yeah, she seems like one of those magical wood elves from the trids.

• Trust Fund I

Negative

• Distinctive Style (Glamour)
  • Yeah, she seems like one of those magical wood elves from the trids. It's almost like light beams come out of her, you know, like, 'here I am'.
• Dry Addict (Moderate - Novacoke)
  • Years of use and addiction for the leg up it provides followed by withdrawal, suffering and finally some measure of freedom.
