Name:~Erata~ Nickname:Queen of the Daoine Seelie Sidhe, The Muse of the Daoine Celebrity Claim: Jennifer Lopez Height: Five foot, two inches Hair: Depends on the seasons and her temperments Eyes: Light oceanic blue to deep emerald Age: Seemingly since the dawn of existence Major Hands of Power Hand of Inspiration The major hand allows the fey to inspire the hearts, minds, souls of mortals to express their deepest joys, pains, sorrows, exaltations with beauty and painstaking eloquence. This inspiration can be brought on by the simple whim of the fey and can be fully consuming, at it's most intense peak. The fact of the matter though, is that along with inspiration, many times comes obsession as well, and the one that is the target of the fey's attention, often times becomes obsessed with the fey and becomes crazed to the point of distraction. Hand of Light and Illusion The major hand can produce blinding flares of light at the fey's desire. The major hand also can make large visual illusions, to the point of replicating a building façade or landscape feature. They fey can produce a large light show, something akin to a major professional fireworks display. Minor Gifts Touch of Flame The minor touch of flame allows the fey to use any fire already existing. The fey can make it grow, can make it extinguish, and can shape it to be used as a weapon Whispering Kiss The minor touch of the whispering kiss allows the fey to whisper into the senses of those around without any traceable sign of the voice or suggestions coming from the fey themselves. It's somewhat akin to the telepathic communication of vampires, but moreso that the recipient of the fey's voice, sometimes confuses it for their subconscious. Heaven's Breath This is just a simple gift of the Sidhe that offers an all encompassing breeze to shroud around the recipient. This can either be something that is a comforting sensation, or if the fey wishes, it can also be something that is used as a terrifying torment. Lingering Lasso This is a force that the fey has within their gifts that can beckon, or draw objects or people towards them as if wrapped within an invisible lasso, arms captured and drawn towards the fey. Gift of Metamorphosis The minor gift of metamorphosis allows the fey to assume an animal form. This is a regular animal with all the abilities of a natural animal, not like the shape shifting done by lycans. The fey is limited to one form chosen at the character's creation. Erata's history spills and spans down through the Tuatha Dé Danann. She is a direct decendent from the Dagda, and the favored neice of King Aengus. Her father Ogma an Cermait is the closest brother of King Aengus, in fact within folklore and legend, Aengus slew the poet of Lugh Lamfada for lying about his brother Ogma an Cermait. The poet claimed that Ogma was having an affair with one of Lugh's wives. Aengus killed the poet in front of Midir, Aengus' foster-father. Erata is also the favored neice of Brighid, the goddess of the Perpetual flame. Her brothers, MacGréine, MacCuill, and MacCecht were once the three high kings of Ireland. Erata herself? She followed closely within her aunt Brighid's footsteps. Becoming a different type of reveered goddess. Back when worship was still allowed. She is the muse of all things. Inspiration, creativity, beauty, light, illusion. She is the imbodiment of the Daoine Seelie Seelie and the Tuatha De Danann. Lineage splays her upon a canvas of what the Shining Court are known for. Over the centuries she grew close with the beautiful Queen Etain as well as her dear Uncle. She'd been at their side through many of the great battles raged and won. Erata simply became known through the Shining Court as "The Muse". She spent much time within the King and Queen's company, as well as one of her favored knights Silvanus. She also bade much time with the King of The Demi, her beloved Twist. Centuries through she has swept and created and garnered great works of artistic masterpieces in music, visual, and creative venues. She was within Dublin for some time before the annexing of the fae from the Isle honoring the King and Queen's protective claims with the Ursidae and the Swanmanes of Dublin. Now she has been handed the throne of the Daoine Seelie Sidhe Court and taken her rightful place as Queen. Her history is as long running and diversified as her talents and tastes. There is just simply not enough room within the pages to file away eternities of history. The fae are the beginnings and ends of all things living. There is no age upon them.
