• Personality •
Soibhan comes from a backwater clan in the highlands of Gaels. Needless to say, she lacks refinement in almost every area, from her speech and mannerisms, to her attire and skills. Her confidence tends to get her into a lot of scraps, as it usually expresses itself in arrogance. She tends to have a spitfire temper and a jealous nature, especially when it comes to other women, whom she usually regards with suspicion and scorn.

However, she can be combative with either gender if she feels wronged or picked on and will fight anyone that threatens her. The gender inequalities of this new land confound her, and she despises being seen as a pretty little flower that must be carefully tended lest she wilt. This plays heavily into future plots with her. Many of the men of this land see her as an anomaly, not understanding that in her country, both genders are treated equally. Because of this, many men will not follow her when she is placed into a leadership role, and anytime this happens, it gets her back up something fierce.

Always willing to prove her mettle as a warrior, she loves to fight with both fists and sword(and is a beautiful shot with a bow!) and will gleefully drink almost anyone under the table; her attitude when drunk is that of a friendly, open woman that is easy to make friends with and an insatiable flirt. When sober, she tends to stick to her own company and has a habit of completely botching social interactions and causing the maximum amount of awkward or anger in any given group she might find herself in at the time. She constantly keeps an eye open to her surroundings when she's sober; after all, she was kidnapped from her own country and vows never to let that happen again.

Because of her highly independent nature, she is perfectly content with one night stands, usually initiating a good lot of them herself. Deep down, a small portion of her does wish that she had a man that understood her capabilities as a warrior and a woman, and that she could share everything with. However, she tends to keep that little part of herself locked up extremely tightly, especially given the current situation with Rob Tiller and how much of a snaffu that turned out to be.

Due to her present company as of late, she's started to doubt her abilities. This is entirely thanks to Edgar Ashworth, who seems to have a knack in saying the exact right thing to dig a knife of doubt into her heart. So far, he has been the only man capable of doing so, and this scares her. Because of this, she has grown extremely bitter and doubtful, second-guessing herself more and more as the days go by without sight or sound of the wolves. She's become little more than a functioning alcoholic, often stumbling home in a haze of spirits or blacking out without any thought of safety to her person(Desmond has the unfortunate luck to bring her home when this happens).

But then, something amazing happens. The Wardwood calls to her...

• History •
The Breanainn Clan lives in a remote village in the Gaelic highlands, and tend to keep to themselves. Soibhan grew up with her mother, father, and brother, as well as about fifty other individuals, both friend and family alike. Though her brother is older, she liked to take charge, and wanted to be like her clan-leader father some day, unknowing that her clan's way of life was quickly becoming a thing of the past. She felt that she had the right amount of adaptability to see her people into a new world if the need ever arose.

One day, her clan was raided by a strange enemy from the South. Though she put up a good fight and took out nearly six men down, Soibhan was eventually overpowered, her face covered in a sack, and she thrown into the back of a wagon. The journey is a foggy, distant memory, but upon awakening, she found herself in the strange, very different world of Sunderland. Fury and fear lent her the energy to escape her captors, and she's been wandering Sunderland ever since, plying her musical talents as a means to survive. Originally, her intent was to find her way home, but the oddities of this country intrigue her and she's found herself enraptured by current events. Because of this and her odd way with people, she has started up a splinter faction of the Wardens and plans on leading them into a battle against the monster wolves of Gwyn, the Wolf Prince.

• Plots •
Now that she has Bael, she'll need all sorts of fun, mean things happen to her >_>

She is a strong woman, and would not do well with a man that thinks women are delicate and should be subservient to males. Maybe have her meet such a man? Also, she loses any desire to go home once she gets more involved with what's going on in Sunderland. However, unbeknownst to her, her brother comes hunting for her, worried that she is hurt or in danger. When she finds him, she'll discover that his interests in Sunderland side more with the dangerous wolves, not the benevolent guardians.

Also, thanks to Rajani, Soibhan has gotten it into her head to form up and train a battalion of Guardians and their Chosen(think a splinter cell) from the Queen's Warden Army. She believes the Queen may not be entirely influenced by her own choices and is untrustworthy of Llyr and his closeness to the Queen. Rajani and Macaire will be her two main cohorts in this venture.

Name: Baelaghaire
Nickname: Bael, The Fool, or "feckin' stupid idiotic buck!"
Gender: Male
Stage: Age
Chosen Soibhan Breanainn
Roleplay Color: Red

• Personality •
PLACEHOLDER: Proud, Fierce, Playful, Large, Willful, Protective, Stubborn. Oh, and LOUD. Bael will be a notorious mischief maker. He will get into trouble a lot, he will fight Soi's decisions a lot, and his own recklessness will force Soi to more responsible, not only for her own actions, but for his. I've a feeling Bael and Tod will get along swimmingly.
