## Physical Description

### Background

Prior to Gabriel's prolonged vacation among the ancient Irish gods known as the Tuatha Dé Danann, he had dispatched his champion Castiel to the green island to investigate the rumors of fallen angels in the area. While there, Castiel adopted a new form to help disguise himself, being reborn as a female and using the name Cethlenn to aid in the disguise. It did not take long for the undercover Castiel to confirm the presence of the Fomorians, a sect of heavenly defectors from the days of Lucifer's rebellion. Though many Fomorians immediately recognized Castiel as one of them, only their leader, Balor recognized Cethlenn was actually Castiel. However, since Balor was once Castiel's friend Balthazar, he only revealed this insight in private conversation between the two.

Balthazar agreed to keep Castiel's secret and even provided Castiel with answers to all the questions she had about their sect and way of life. Once she had her answers, Castiel even postponed filing her report to live among the Fomorians for a time and even allowed herself to be seduced into a brief romance with Balthazar. But even love could not keep the dutiful Castiel on Earth and soon she returned to Heaven to submit her report — which did not mention the Fomorians.

After reading the report, Gabriel was surprised to see Castiel had kept her form. Castiel was a big proponent of regular rites of rebirth, ever since the Morningstar Rebellion, so her not changing her form upon return to the Silver City did alert Gabriel that something was amiss. Even more curious was Castiel's request for leave coming soon after. Gabriel granted the leave and then went to Earth himself to investigate, tracking Castiel to the land of Eire but becoming distracted by a nearby festival.

### Eithne: ~1900 BCE - 1890 BCE

Shortly after Gabriel became King of the Tuatha Dé Danann, he would discover the reason for Castiel's leave when the Fomorian King Balor introduced the archangel to his newborn daughter, Eithne, and his wife Cethlenn. Eithne was raised unaware of the true identity of her mother and her relationship to the Tuatha Dé Danann's king. She lived a charmed life, highly adored by the Fomorians as she was an angel born and not hatched, and thus seen as something of a miracle.

Though Eithne and her mother enjoyed a solid relationship, marital and maternal bliss was not in the cards for Castiel. When Gabriel was outed among the Tuatha Dé Danann, Castiel's sense of duty compelled her to aid in the escape of the archangel and his newborn daughter, trusting Balthazar to look after their daughter. However, Eithne has been married off to Cian of the Tuatha Dé Danann to protect their alliances and Balthazar assumed she was safe.

However, the Tuatha Dé Danann plotted in secret with the Fomorians against their king. By the time Eithne was made aware of the conspiracy, she was unable to decide where she stood. The choice was made for her by her husband and son. When she saw her own son reveling in the retelling of how he had slain his grandfather, Eithne grabbed a sword from one of the Tuatha Dé Danann and attacked her own son. When she easily disarmed him and had him begging for mercy, she smiled and laughed for she knew there was no way her father lost to such a coward.

### Eithne: 1980 BCE - 1492 CE

Eithne did not stick around long. She left the land of Eire to the two factions when their alliance fell apart without responsible kings. She wandered the cosmos aimlessly for a long time, uncertain of her place in the universe but knowing she had no interest in Heaven or her mother.

She eventually returned to Earth and found a new family among the Aesir and Vanir. She became the commander of the warrior goddesses known as the Valkyrie under the name Eir and was befriended by Idunn.

When Idunn and her husband Bragi made plans to leave, Eithne (or Eir as she was called then) was one trusted with their true identities as Eden and the Presence. Finally feeling a sense of connection to Heaven, Eithne decided to give it a second shot and joined them in the Silver City.

### Supplemental Reports

* (Submitted by Four-Eyes) What has become to Eithne since her arrival in the Silver City and her recent return to Earth as an agent of the Bull Host is not documented, at least by any mortal means of which I am aware. Further investigation is needed to ascertain her mission or agenda, though I suspect she may have been sent by Asmodel to track down one of her wayward parents.
