== Description ==
The Bean Sidhe, or Banshee to most people, is a spirit creature resembling a human female,beautiful, pale skinned, and red-haired with a green dress in traditional Gaelic style, while atother times she resembles the dessicated corpse of the same woman.
== Location ==
While the Sidhe originated in Ireland, they can be found anywhere, especially in places towhich Irish or Scottish families have migrated.
== Modus Operandi ==
Bean Sidhe are spectral entities which appear to families of Celtic origin to warn them of impending doom. The screaming of the Banshee indicates, when heard, that a member of thefamily will soon die. The time from the first scream until the death could be anywhere from 24 hours to one year, depending on what best suits the story. The Banshee will appear at the same time of night (normally midnight or 3 AM) to scream out the warning, and as it gets closer and closer, the Banshee will appear more frequently until she appears at the same time every night. She does not cause the death, and defeating her will not effect the death. However, if something is done to avert the death, she will disappear and never return.
If the dying family member dies, the Banshee will use her Hound ability on the oldest surviving member of the next generation of the family present at the time of death (for example, the oldest son, daughter, or nephew). The Banshee will then appear to that person’s family to warn of his or her impending doom.
Banshees are normally helpful creatures, but if you anger it, it can become angry and violent.
== Neutralization ==
Banshee can only be stopped by saving the life of the dying person, at which time theBanshee will still return the next time that person’s life is in danger. If the Banshee does become angered, she can be banished using magick, but unless further precautions are taken she will still return to haunt the family.
== Story Seed ==
