Saraid Hely-Hutchinson

## History

It can be entirely possible for a living breathing omen of death to survive in the mortal world. What happened in the past can occur again in the future. Sean Hely-Hutchinson met the beautiful Mave Chiba through his father Eamonn and his mother, Ritsuko Serizawa. Ritsuko and Mave had more than few things in common, they were not related but they were alike. They were banshee, they came to know one another through their supernatural abilities. Ritsuko was a funeral director, she met Eamonn when his father was choosing his coffin. It was not long before the man died, at his moment of death Ritsuko was there, At that moment in time when she had not meant to be seen, she was witness by him and it was kismet.

Saraid has inherited the gifts both her mother and grandmother possess. That was Ritsuko's plan, that was Mave's destiny. There was a prophecy foretold by the Fae long ago. It told of the harbingers of death, it told of the generations of powerful women. Ritsuko thought it told of her future. She was an arrogant young woman when she read these words. She did not change in the centuries that passed. Ritsuko taught Mave about their abilities and how she was capable of feeling in control. Mave taught Saraid the same lessons as she was growing up. The two halflings; mother and daughter, always sought the guidance of the older, wiser, Ritsuko. Saraid looked to her grandmother as a paragon of wisdom.

It was hard for Saraid and her mother after Ritsuko. She had been an extraordinary mother figure to both of the younger generations in her family line. Mave, who was not related to Ritsuko except through her blood relation to Saraid, loved her more than anyone. Saraid even did not look the perceptive old woman as much as her mother did. The moment she was gone from this world both Saraid and Mave slipped into a deep depression it seemed they would not come out of. For weeks they both lay in their beds not eating any of their meals or speaking to anyone for weeks. Mave snapped out of it first, Saraid shortly after. They believed that Ritsuko came to them to ease them of their grief and depression over her death.

One of her grandmother's dying wishes, of which there were many, was that Saraid attend Olympus Academy. She began attending when she was thirteen years old, a few months after she and her mother were able to process the passing of Ritsuko. She did not enjoy being at the academy the first few weeks that she was begining her classes. It was all intimidating to her, nothing about the world she had entered felt familiar to what she had been taught by Ritsuko. She struggled in classes and spent a lot of time with sirens, music nymphs and kitsune in the art and music building. She did find her place at the school although she never expected to find herself in the theater, she had found joy being surrounded by the casts and crews.

She does not discriminate, everyone is equal to her. She has no hate in her heart and does not wast her time with negative feelings.
She is always giggling at everything. There is nothing she cannot find a way to make funny. At least to herself. She does have a habit of laughing at the wrong time. Her behavior can cause problems with someone who does not understand that she is a happy-go-lucky type of person.
She knows that people think of her as weak willed and she despises that view. She is soft spoken and she is merciful. What she lacks in physical strength she makes up for in emotional awareness.
