Description
Mortal Seeming
Height: 5'7"
Weight: 125 lb.
Ethnicity: Caucasian
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Long simple brown
Clothing: Gray and black casual
Comportment/Cadence: Reserved
Distinctions: Quiet but gorgeous Shawn is typically dressed in form-fitting casual attire designed for a light hike through the woods; her willowy shape and cool expression belie the cold glitter in her eyes
Supernatural Qualities: The glitter isn't coldness: local fae know her as a strange Sidhe indeed, a cruel hermit and huntress; she doesn't just have the reputation but rather looks the part, with slim contours head to toe that render her...elfin: explicable as just her body type, but those who know what to look for will see it; worse, when she does speak, she clearly has no filter, always telling people exactly what she thinks
Accoutrements: Light jewelry
Traits: Appearance 5 (sublime); Style 1; Notoriety, Slipped Seeming: elfin contours (1), The Bard's Tongue
Fae Mien
Height: 5'8"
Weight: 125 lb.
Eyes: Brown
Hair: Long simple golden-brown
Clothing: Gray and black archaic
Comportment/Cadence: Reserved
Supernatural Qualities: Local fae know her as a strange Sidhe indeed, a cruel hermit and huntress; her form is both willowy and dreamy, like Artemis given form as a merciless forest nymph, complete with a long bow seemingly made from a magically twisted live and leafy tree branch; her voile maintains the monochrome hue of her Seeming but becomes medieval in fashion, a jerkin and leggings, often beneath a simple suit of unadorned but well-cured leather armor; worse, when she does speak, she clearly has no filter, always telling people exactly what she thinks
Accoutrements: Light jewelry, leather armor, sword, dagger, long bow, quiver full of arrows
Traits: Appearance 7 (sublime); Notoriety, The Bard's Tongue

History
Date of Birth: May 14th, 1984
Home: Cameron, Missouri, United States
Family: Roger and Sally Odlai (parents), Nathan (older brother)
Chrysalis: Preordainment (a local girl in Missouri, she was born and raised in a rural family, learning survivalism and hunting from her father; she was always a naturally talented archer and even competed at the state level; during hunting season one year, she was accidentally shot by some helter-skelter dingbat of a hunter and while she was being rushed to the hospital, the Fiona soul latched onto her archery skills and took over), 1998
Mentor: Sam Coghlan
The Test: Trial by Combat (after recovery from the wound, she simply wandered off from home towards Kansas City, syncing up with local fae that she could ken, and finding her way to the Seelie courts, where she underwent her Fior-Righ and earned her Name as a knight)
Comrades: Hugh Richards, Alaric Bronzen
Key Event #1: War (she continued to serve the local Seelie courts thereafter but took to life as a hermit in the woods, patrolling the nobles' borders, stalking hostile chimera more than anything else)
Transition: Shift in Nature (she met Hugh Richards doing the same sort of work on behalf of Unseelie lords; she was surprised to find so much in common with the Redcap and they hooked up and ultimately worked together for the sake of the hunt, politics notwithstanding)
Remembrance
Magnitude: Shawn commands a solid memory reaching back to the beginning of her time in Arcadia after the Shattering.
Details: She was not a hermit in Arcadia, instead commanding defense of a key Fiona fortress: the best archer in the land.
Chimera
Bow of the Fionn Saoiste
Appearance: A long bow seemingly crafted of a live and leafy tree branch, with a matching quiver and a dozen arrows
Origin: Inherent
Effects: Like many decent chimerical bows, the quiver refills itself each day; this bow provides more: it cancels the penalty to any "called" shots she may make with it, whether a specific target or part of her target's anatomy (e.g., "head shot")
Activation: She must whisper its command phrase in Irish (the only Gaelic she currently knows).
Leather Armor
Appearance: An unadorned suit of brown, well-crafted leather armor with a hardened cuirass, providing coverage to her entire upper torso and arms
Origin: Inherent
Short Sword
Appearance: A blade in the style of the ancient Celts' iron swords, unremarkable but solid.
Origin: Inherent
Dagger
Appearance: A simple double-edged iron knife with a deer horn hilt, unadorned.
Origin: Inherent
Bunk Styles
Style: Magic Realism
Examples: Herbal remedies, talking to animals, walk widdershins 3 times, find a 4-leaf clover
Significant Other
Name: Hugh Richards, 2006
Nature: Erotic
Hugh
Weakness
Artemis Foul
Well, "foul" isn't really a word one associates with a beautiful Sidhe. But her tilt towards S&M, which drew her to Hugh, and which colors her love of "the hunt", is far from the sweet rainbows and unicorns even many Unseelie Sidhe prefer.
Likelihood of Corruption
Low.
Mainly because she'd likely kill whatever it was trying to corrupt her.
