Neila

__Requiem__ "Femora Fitzgerald", one of the seven children born to Robert Fitzgerald, Earl of Kildare, and an inheritor of his demonic bloodline. Neila possesses a supernatural ability to see the taint of supernatural evil and death in the world. She speculates that she may gazing into the "spirit world" of the Uratha, but only within a limited spectrum. This ability, combined with her knowledge and experience with demonology would classify her as a witch by ordinary mortal standards. She is still struggling internally with the morality of her actions, which has been used against her to great effect in arguments over morality. She still struggles to cling to the hope that if she put an end to her father's influence in the world, her existence could somehow be vindicated in the eyes of God.

Background: Growing up surrounded by boys, and being teased in her childhood for her one eye, Neila was driven to prove herself to keep up, if not outpace her male peers in physical competitions. As a result, Neila acquired a physical aptitude for athletics and fighting. Despite her physical aptitude, Neila also developed an interest in other areas, excelling in what limited education was available to her at the orphanage, with a particular fondness for both history and mythology, and finding some enjoyment in singing, through participation in the Church choir.

After leaving the orphanage, Neila had limited career options available to her, and even fewer that she found particularly appealing. She briefly considered joining the Poor Clares as a nun, but decided against it feeling that the life as a nun would offer little to no contact with her childhood friends. She ultimately fell in with Cormac's entrepreneurial venture as an “assistant”, but pretty much operating as a bodyguard,. While she may not particularly approve of the lives that she and her friends are building for themselves after leaving the orphanage, she maintains close ties to her fellow orphans and does her best to support them, as they are the few people who accept her.

Appearance:

Height: 5'4

Weight: 160 Hair: Black

Eye: Singular; Sea Green Key Details: The most notable physical detail about Neila is that she is missing her left eye. In it's place is a somewhat ungainly patch of off-colored skin. While she does her best to hide this particular detail either by to cover it with unconventional hairstyles or hats, it only really serves to make her deformity stand out even more. Otherwise, her appearance would be considered to be fairly attractive by common standards, but far too rough by the standards of the privileged and wealthy. Her physique is on the athletic side, comparable to a gymnast or swimmer.

Opinions regarding supernaturals

Werewolves: The closest thing to angels that I've found to exist in this world. When I look at them, I can only see them, as they choose to present themselves, unsullied by the darkness that exists in this world. They stand against evil spirits, like my father; that seek to spread their corruptive influence upon the world. I can tell that, though they try not to show it, they know that we are a part of the problem with this world. I wish I could be like them; to know that they serve some greater good in the universe. It's probably only pity on their part, in seeing that we don't want to be what we are that keeps them from striking us down like the wretched weeds we are. At best we are a pathetic imitation of what they are, and at worst an abhorrent mockery. Still, if I can help them in what they are working towards, perhaps I can find a place of acceptance within the divine order of the universe.

Demons: Our Infernal Aunts and Uncles that plague the world I was born into. I despise myself for my association with them. Despite my best intentions, it seems like my actions only serve to tighten their grip on the world. At best, I can only say that I've succeeded in playing them against each other. After all, a house divided cannot stand, but I still end up being the one who comes out losing. I hate all of them, but Father I hate most, for making me in their nature.

Vampires: Beings that were once human, but have been given a curse different than ours. I know very little of them, having only seen two of them to my knowledge, and only one of them in action. Most of what I know of them actually comes from the stories that have come from the tales of folklore, and I don't know how much can be considered to be reliable. Between their existence and ours, I don't know which could be considered more pitiful. Still, I doubt our two kinds would get along very well for very long. It's probably one of the few blessings I've had to have only had to deal with one of them so far.

The Earl's Children: The only family I have. If we don't look out for each other, who else will?
