Physical Description
Saoirse is tall, slender, and with a head of vividly bright fire-red hair with streaks of gold intermittently throughout which gives the illusion of fire. Her eyes are a deep chocolate brown against an alabaster complexion. Her eyes, much like her hair, are also flecked with gold.

Personality
Saoirse is jovial, kind, and never shies away from a good time. She has many musical skills including singing, lute, lyre, and violin.

Magic/Abilities
She is able to create illusions. These illusions are amplified when she is creating music or under the light of the moon. Sometimes these illusions appear only in the listener's mind, sometimes they are dramatic shows that anyone can see. Sometimes the listener's own desires leak into the illusions to create once-in-a-lifetime masterpieces.

Relationships
Father Danning
Opus Dey


History
Father is an Elf, Mother was a human who died from illness when Saoirse was quite young. Eilinor, Saoirse's father, raised his daughter in the ways of the Elves and shut away all knowledge of her human side until she was old enough to recognize her differences in the community. He tried to keep humanity from her as he saw it as the road to pain, but Saoirse refused to listen and was determined to learn about her heritage no matter the cost. Taking her knowledge of the arta from her Elven ancestors, Saoirse began her journey across the world, determined to understand and embrace her human half. Maybe, along the way, she would be able to find the family that had been kept from her.

Saoirse is part of a tribe of Bloodmoon Elves who live deep in the woods outside of Serendipity. Their magics are tied directly to the moon itself and under the light of the moon they are transformed and almost seem to be made of moonlight itself. It is not usual for the Bloodmoon Elves to be extremely fair in all colorings and it is considered especially lucky to be blessed with red hair as they view it as a direct blessing from their main deity herself. Bloodmoon Elves with red hair also tend to have stronger illusion magics than their fairer counterparts.

All aspects of their society is tied to the moon and its phases and they have many rituals and traditions expected to be followed. Pairings between couples are for life, though separation can be managed it involves a series of rituals that break the magics that bind the couple together. Women cannot have children without first completing the Bloodmoon Ritual to open their wombs and even then children are rare among them and each child takes 2-3 years of gestation before birth.
