TEMPERMENT

PERSONALITY: she seems to carry a sweeping sadness with her and yet she is someone who enjoys joking and laughing her humor, though quite morbid, is a large part of how she copes with her fate, and of course she is a terrible and unrelenting hopeless romantic to top it all off.
BEHAVIORS: plays with her hair when nervous, talks with her hands (more theatrical than necessary), laughs with her full chest always, prone to fits of drama (flinging herself onto the nearest fainting couch)

ABILITIES

TRANSFORMATION: eimile is a bit of a shape shifter and is able to take on the form of a crow/raven if she so pleases though she prefers her more human form since she is able to fly without fully transforming. she also is able to outfit herself with moth's wings though it's uncommon given the convenience of her raven form.
ZOOLINGUISM: she can communicate with most birds but she is very adamant about speaking with bugs and spiders... just because she can speak to animals does not mean they are all very fond of her though.
PROPHECY: in the form of a banshee wail eimile can sense when death is near. she can also deliver general prophecies which she does in the form of song and more often than not a rather jarring limerick.

HYPNOTISM: as a descendant of clíodhna who is a goddess of love as well as death eimile is able to add a charm to her voice that coaxes those that hear it into a trance and makes them docile and susceptible to her will. this is an ability she takes issue using and only defects to when absolutely necessary.
NECROMANCY: she cannot raise the dead properly but she can call certain ghosts to do her bidding. most commonly she calls the spirit of a red fox to her side as company. the fox has been lovingly named, dearbhla.
WHISPERS: whispers are a form of will o' wisps that can carry messages between the living and dead. they take on the form of ghostly blue butterflies and disappear once their message has been delivered. they also can be used to lead the living to the land of dead or where the veil between worlds is thinnest. eimile frequently uses them as messengers and occasionally as a reading light,

SKILLS

SWORDPLAY & SPEAR WIELDING: eimile's weapon of choice is a spear composed of black iron and inlaid with opals. it was a gift from her true mother and it has been named, fedelm. to a lesser degree she is familiar with swordplay and can hold her own in a fight though it is not where her true talent lies.
MUSICIAN: a talented piano player and composer before taking up her role of guardian of the gates she was due to have a promising career in music. she is also a formidable singer but this is a skill she attributes more to her lineage than anything else.
POETRY: not exactly a talent but she does try her hardest to put words to paper. sometimes there are strokes of genius here but more often what she writes lands in the realm of accidental comedy.
