Profile of Orlaith

― in a field of roses, be a wildflower ―

The young woman is dressed in the rich, earthy colours of her ancestry. She is a shadowy replica of her mother, with only the tip of her tail and soft fluffs of her inner ears bearing the ivory luminosity of her sire. Her eyes are brilliantly blue, reflecting the endless curiosity with glimmers of a more impish nature within.
She will forever be the runt of her siblings; her stature is slim and petite, more suited for only carrying a book or two than fighting in wars or plowing fields of nourishment.

Loving / Sensitive / Passionate
Orlaith has a kind soul; one where she could give or provide anything to someone who needs her help. She always tries to see the good in others and the best of bad situations, though she is not blindly optimistic. She is quick to show her appreciation when help is given to her, and always makes a point to pay it forward tenfold. Her family is very important to her, and becomes deeply wounded when others aren't getting along or a divide forms within the familial relationships. Always looking to learn new things, she has developed a fascination for flowers since blossoming into womanhood, and can often be seen tending to gardens or flowers, which has become therapeutic to her.

Previous trauma from her childhood and late teen years has resulted in her becoming quite skittish and a tad untrustworthy of those she doesn't know. Sudden noises or aggressive individuals essentially shut her down, and sometimes if she is pushed far enough into herself, she can become reckless with her decisions.

(bullet points for now)

• born in spring 1708, to Baelfire, an Imperial Army soldier, and Sorcha, a Highlander Huntress, with two older brothers - Arran and Gwydion - of the same litter
• around a month old, she experienced her first sleepwalking incident and was almost snatched by an owl. Her mother saved her
• her early life was relatively uneventful, spending much of her time with her mother and grandmother, learning about the Fae and different herbs and their properties
• ended up finding a lost and confused Mainlander, Elias, and quickly trauma-bonded due to seeing a Banshee materialize during their first meeting. he's now been following her around like a lost puppy due to not remembering anything about his life before coming to the Highlands
• in fall, year 1709, she encounters and injured owl during one of her depression episodes. Despite being deathly afraid of them, her empathetic nature overpowers her fear and she adopts the little creature. (Drystan had attacked the owl after obtaining it during the Corn Maze)
