BIO: Sorcha was born in the early spring not long after the winter snow had begun to fade. Her mother survived her birth, but by the time she was two, the woman had died in childbirth with her brother. The young babe didn’t survive and the young girl was left to the charges of her father who was a metal crafter. He worked with a few others to make the weapons as well as shields and helmets, but he specialized in created the decretive patterns on them. He also made most of the village’s jewelry that as made of metal. Sorcha learned this skill young and decided that instead of marrying like the other girls in her tribe that she would continue on learning her father’s trade and be more valuable that way. However like every other tribesperson, she learned the skill of music at an early age and had a talent for playing as well as dancing. Her singing while not the best was still treasured in the tribe because she was one of the only sopranos. She is one of the main entertainers for celebrations especially for their religious holidays despite their Druid priests not liking women having power within the religious structure. Another reason she refused to get married was because she could perform magick, the same kind that only the Druid priests should have been able to, and she didn’t want to have to hide it from more people. While some magick was able to be done by most everyone, the kind that she could do and did in secret was strictly forbidden and punishable by death and since females weren’t allowed to become priestesses in her tribe she had to keep her secret from even her father. When news came about the invaders from the other lands, she received news from a Banshee that if she didn’t go to the invaders the death of her own tribe would ensue. After the sacrificing of people to try and find what was most precious to the tribe, she knew she had to leave. She planned to try and met the invaders from across the channel (Ireland) before they arrived to destroy her tribe along with countless others in between. Little did she know what the gods had planned and lengths that her people would go to appease the gods they believed they had angered.
Other: She is the one they have to sacrifice to save their tribe, but she is also the only one who can save it without dying.
