[fauve]

Character Name: Silwen Fáilláriel

Ghost Name:To Sing, To Breathe

Age: 1500 years, plus or minus, looks twenties

Sex: Female

Height: 5’2”

Abilities: Skilled in the use of the usual magics, Silwen uses the Fey skills of voice, speech, and glamour with consummate skill, and is a lady of the air, exercising complete control over that element. She is a healer, precious among her people as the gift is rare. These inborn gifts, along with quick thinking and reactions, the legacy of her birthright, have kept her alive and well. Silwen has a special bond with the tree spirits, formed during a long sojourn in the deep woods. She fights and/or kills in self defense, with a combination of weapons and magic; additionally, Silwen has learned to use her innate healing power to kill or injure when necessary. She remains unaggressive for the most part, unless threatened or on an assignment; she is a fledgling assassin.

At present, Silwen carries no weapons other than a shortsword that will send her power wherever she aims it, and a brilliant red stone, a ruby imbued with very powerful magic - a gift from an ancient wizard, it hangs suspended from a chain around her neck and is always with her. It protects her against both fire and iron. She has a familiar - Euros. It is a windservant, a living creature made of the element Silwen controls; it has fought battles beside her, warmed her, protected her. Euros is always close, invisible and inaudible to any but Silwen unless told otherwise.

History:
Born into the immortal race of the Tuatha Dé Danann, Silwen is 5’2” tall, small for her race; luminous ivory skin is tinted with a flush of the most delicate rose, and a shining mass of hair, the color of a starless sky at midnight, drifts and clings about oval face and an exquisite form, delicate and finely-boned. Her eyes are tri-colored, intense and probing, silver-hued and sparkling with infinite variations of gray and silver; sometimes, the golden glow of power infiltrates the gray, rising with the need for healing or the sense of threat.

Silwen gave her parents endless trouble, for she was born with a bane - the bane of curiosity; because of it, she got into much more trouble than was deemed appropriate for one of her station. In desperation, her parents sent her to the deep forest to hone her healing powers. Silwen learned much about the natural world, there in the wood, and developed a special bond with the spirits who inhabit the trees.

After a time, Silwen’s parents sent for her. Much to their surprise and also her own, instead of returning to the sithen, she struck out for the cities of men and gods, drawn by the brightly burning bane. Silwen had many adventures along the way, some good, some not, and learned to wield her powers effectively, and has as of yet taken no mate, not having found one to her liking.

One fateful night, Silwen aided an enemy of her clan; this ended with her being forever banished from home, family and friends, forcing her to wander in solitude. To avoid being totally alone, the Sidhe was forced to seek out the company of other Immortals, as well as mortals, in the lands of men and gods - and so it was that she came to New Olympus, in search of a new home.

Attributes: As with any Fey, Silwen has strength and stamina far beyond expectation, the ability to heal and regenerate her own body, and is immune to silver.

I moved her to the Deity board, since they are considered Lesser Deities.

Well, the Sidhe are at any rate. Most fey are considered to be Immortals though
