== Biography ==
=== Joining SIGNET ===
Soon after she joined the supernatural investigation group SIGNET, Aoife was taken under his wing by its aging leader, Charles, who became something of a surrogate uncle to her.
During SIGNET's battle against the emerging Yssgaroth, Aoife was briefly possessed by the entity, a highly traumatic experience. (PROSE: )
=== Killing Hervy ===
At some point, the severed head of a Hervoken wound up in 21st century York. Being heavily injured and stranded away from its kin, the Hervoken arranged to have itself mailed to the house of Harvey and Aoife Fitzgerald close to Halloween, coming across as an innocuous seasonal present. It then made psychic contact with their young daughter Norah, who nicknamed it "Hervy", and began to feed off her life-force to heal itself. Aoife, however, noticed Norah's change in behaviour.
She called in Charles and her fellow SIGNET agent Xana, who recognised the purple pumpkin as alien and realised what it was doing to Norah. Realising that it had been found out, Hervy rushed through sprouting a complete body, and attempted to explain its injury and loneliness to the humans. Charles was interested in helping it rejoin its people, but Aoife did not trust it, believing that it would not be satisfied until it had drained her daughter completely; sensing her hostility, the Hervoken attacked, and to Charles's regret, they had to fight back and ultimately kill Hervy using salt and a carving knife. Aoife resented Charles for his hesitation, warning him that she would resign if something like this happened again, but the sight of her carefree daughter on Halloween day proper led her to reconsider the harshness of her stance: if a child could let the past stay in the past, she decided, then so could she.

=== The Yssgaroth ===

=== New Years === 
After an adventure involving sentient hedgehogs and a time travelling Victorian, Aoife proceeded home to celebrate New Years with Norah and Harvey. In a pocket of unreality she found Eagles' Nest, the most popular leather bar in Atlanta circa 1980. The entire location was transparent, "the ghost of gay bars past," except for a man named Pieter, who she shared a conversation with about Crescent World. After a quick drink, she solemnly noted that this would be one of the last years before "the plague", but until then, they danced. As she left the bar and returned home for the night, the bar continued to do so. (PROSE: )
