Sorcha of Dunluce

## History

### Mortal Life

Sorcha's mortal beginnings in the bustling heart of County Antrim were marked by a spirit that yearned for the grandeur of entertainment. Born in 1145, she was the youngest child of a respected merchant, but her aspirations stretched far beyond the confines of commerce. Her childhood was a medley of impromptu performances, weaving tales and delighting her family and their circle of friends.

At nine years old, Sorcha's enchantment with the annual Harvest Festival ignited a spark within her. With youthful audacity, she took the stage, regaling the crowd with impromptu jests and whimsical storytelling. Her natural charm drew the attention of both commoners and local nobility, including Lord Aodhán, whose love for the arts kindled an influential patronage that nurtured Sorcha's burgeoning talents.

As she matured, Sorcha's performances blossomed into captivating spectacles, captivating audiences far and wide. Her jests, ranging from whimsical to subtly biting, became the talk of the county. Yet, behind her magnetic allure lay a labyrinth of complexities and hidden desires, shielded by a façade of charm and frivolity.

Maturing into her teenage years, Sorcha's performances became celebrated spectacles, a seamless blend of wit and charm that enraptured audiences across the county. Yet, behind her magnetic allure hid a labyrinth of desires, shielded by a façade of frivolity.

Under the guise of patronage and support, Lord Aodhán strategically sponsored Sorcha's performances, providing her with platforms at grand events and gatherings. However, his motivations were far from altruistic. Behind the façade of a generous benefactor lay a more sinister intent—to wield Sorcha's charm and influence for his own political machinations.

Her performances became renowned for their captivating storytelling, infused with humor that ranged from whimsical to subtly biting, captivating audiences and leaving them yearning for more. Sorcha's spirited demeanor in public and ability to weave tales that resonated with both commoners and nobility alike became the talk of the county.

### Embrace

However, it was Erin, a Follower of Set, who recognized Sorcha's talents long before her transformation. Erin, a maestro of manipulation, saw beyond Sorcha's jests, perceiving her hidden pain and unmatched ability to incite both pleasure and pandemonium.

Their initial meeting during a lavish feast sealed Sorcha's fate. Erin, drawn to Sorcha's blend of humor and intrigue, sensed the raw desires beneath her jests. This astute understanding led to Sorcha's Embrace, orchestrated by Erin after discerning Sorcha's fervent wish to break free from Lord Aodhán's influence.

Following her transformation into a vampire and the timely demise of Lord Aodhán, Erin guided Sorcha through the tumultuous transition, introducing her to Setite philosophy and the Path of Pleasure, anchoring Sorcha amid the chaos of her new existence.

## Relationships

### Sorcha and Aoife

I find solace in Aoife's wisdom, drawing inspiration from the ancient druidic traditions she embodies. Yet, beneath our supposed alliance lies a clash of ideologies. My inclination toward chaos brushes against Aoife's steadfast commitment to balance. I sense her wariness, recognizing that she views me as a potent but unpredictable force—a wild card in her meticulously maintained order. Our alliance is a calculated strategy, a dance where we attempt to harness each other's strengths while tiptoeing around the inherent conflicts arising from our contrasting perspectives.

### Sorcha and Éogan

Éogan and I share a complex relationship veiled in a façade of mutual respect and cooperation. However, beneath this, a subtle game of rivalry unfurls. My roots within the Setites gravitate towards chaos, a force that sometimes clashes with Éogan's calculated stability. He strategically aligns himself with me, recognizing the chaos I can unleash and seeking to leverage it for his gain. Our relationship dances between collaboration and manipulation, leaving us perpetually uncertain about each other's true intentions. It's a constant guessing game, where both of us try to anticipate and maneuver through the intricate web of our intertwined ambitions.
