Eithne

Eithne is a prominent sorceress who was indoctrinated into a cult and raised by The Cultist, who nurtured her innate magical ability. She dislikes using magic for this reason, but is slowly growing out of this. She married Heilung and Joiry, and now works primarily as a sorcery consultant.

## Personality

> I think it's going quite well...
>
> Eithne, "Dinner Party"

Eithne is known for being solemn, ominous, and gothic. She is not notably light-hearted, and does not have a strong sense of morality. Eithne is taciturn and socially awkward, and not a good conversation partner. She is also known for having a taste for the macabre, being especially interested in gothic horror. Eithne is not scared of any horror movies (neither enjoying nor disliking them, she finds them boring), however, she is very jumpy and apologetic. She usually does not voice her opinions unless asked. When she talks for more than thirty seconds, she gets out of breath due to being quite out of practice.

## Appearance

> Oh, joy. You brought me another Batcave goth.

> Dr. Z, "Unknown"

Eithne is built tall and lanky. Her bone structure can only be described as "severe". Her naturally pale complexion combined with spending her formative years completely underground has given her the complexion of an axolotl- nearly transparent. On hot days, it's rumored you can see her organs through her stomach. Her hair is an inky black so dark that it's nearly blue, cut in a messy bob that frames her face even more harshly. She has abnormally large pupils, the same color as her hair. Her ears are quite long and pointy, with several piercings. Eithne hides the circular cult tattoo on her forehead over her right eye with her bangs. She dresses entirely in black, and several characters have noted how goth she looks, while Apex has compared her to an axolotl.

## History

Eithne is actually unsure whether she was adopted at a very young age, or whether she is the Cultist's biological child. The Cultist refuses to elaborate on the matter, and may not be entirely sure himself. She was one of nine children, all different species and origins. The group was raised as siblings, with the knowledge they were growing up to use their gifts for the glory of Balorish. The identities of most of her siblings are unknown, though she does note having a brother named Loxian, whose existence is verified by the Cultist.

As a child, Eithne's magical abilities were wild and uncontrollable. She was sometimes laughed at by the other children. For reasons unknown, the Cultist decided to take special care in developing Eithne's magical abilities. This is just part of the evidence in Gaius's theory that Eithne is the Cultist's biological daughter.

Once, the Cultist decided to conduct a simple summoning ceremony, and placed Eithne and Loxian in the key position. However, he neglected to tell them that the ceremony required a sacrifice. Eithne's memory is blurry, and she is not sure of the details- part of her thinks the Cultist could not possibly have meant it this way. However, she knows that she killed Loxian. Despite this, the summoning ceremony failed.

This put quite the damper on poor Eithne's childhood. She was depressed and numb for a very long time. The Cultist either did not notice or did not think she had any reason to be hurt.
