Post by Mairead ó Fearghail on Oct 12, 2009 22:01:23 GMT -5
Full Name: Mairead Niamh ó Fearghail
Fandom: POTO, original, other (specify)? Harry Potter
Age: 16
Height: 5'1''
Weight: your answer here
Build: Mairead is of a slight build. She is of a normal weight with just enough muscular definition to not come across as too puny. Her carriage is pretty typical of a teenager. Her posture isn't horrible, but she does tend to slouch slightly.
Hair: about shoulder length; dark brown to almost black
Eyes: almond shape - blue-grey
Nationality: Irish by upbringing
Job: Currently Unemployed
Personality: Mairead can often come across as being quiet, reserved and even a bit aloof, sometimes giving a, frequently, misleading impression of immaturity. As she starts to develop a sense of trust in someone, they start to see a picture of one who’s usually more quietly self-assured. Most of the time the confidence rarely comes across as strong enough to be arrogant. She is, however, prone to a rather significant stubborn streak that when coupled with her witty and bright intelligence can flare up when angered or annoyed. She isn’t one prone to backing down when pushed to the limits of her patience.
Life Story (as much as you want us to know):
As he continued his rise to power, in his quest for immortality and a way to infiltrate Hogwarts despite Dumbledore’s continued efforts to keep him at a distance, the Dark Lord considered the potential for an heir. While there were more visibly loyal members among his followers, Voldemort looked towards a loyal follower who was less known throughout England and within the Ministry. Mairead’s birthmother graduated from Durmstrang with honors and during her final years at school became increasingly aware of the Dark Lord’s rise to power. Isolated in Soviet occupied Eastern Europe, the prospects for directly serving and becoming involved were largely limited. Finally, in order to better serve the rising Dark Lord, her mother found a way out of Eastern Europe and to England.
With no emotional involvement between them, arrangements were made for a potential legacy that would continue, and which could, potentially, allow a way to be involved inside the school. Because of her servitude, pure-blood lineage and relative obscurity in England, Máiread’s mother was chosen to, one day, bare the child.
Before Máiread’s birth, arrangements were made to ensure the child’s safety. It was imperative to maintain the child’s anonymity in order to ensure she’d raise as little suspicions within the school as possible. It seemed necessary to keep the child’s existence secret from both the scattered Death Eaters as well as the Ministry and Aurors. The fewer who knew about the child, the safer she’d be. And the more useful she’d be inside the school.
Within hours of the child’s birth, a Pavee Auror and his muggle wife welcomed the birth of their own daughter. During the night, unbeknownst to Diarmuid and Clar ó Fearghail, their daughter was removed from her crib and the Dark Lord’s child was left in its place. The ó Fearghail named the child Mairead and raised her for ten years, believing her to be their own.
Both the ó Fearghail being Irish Travellers, Máiread grew up amidst the Pavee culture. She spent much of her first ten years traveling with her ‘parents’ and several other families that made up their group. She spent much of her days playing and exploring with the children of the other families while nights were often filled with music. Exposed to the poverty of life as a Traveller as well as the discriminatory stigma held by ‘The Settled People’ towards Travellers, Mairead grew up rather humble with a strong sense of community towards her culture.
At ten years of age, Mairead’s mother reclaimed her. While Máiread was away playing, the ó Fearghail were disposed of. The Ministry, initially unaware of any of the treachery at play, passed the child on to a distant relative, a supporter of Lord Voldemort’s. Mairead was passed between followers until she returned to the care of her birth mother.
For the following two years, she remained at her mother’s home, being home-schooled by her mother and slowly being introduced to trusted followers. Being an animagus herself, her birth mother chose to teach her daughter to, also, be an animagus in the hopes an unknown form would provide another degree of concealment. Though the Dark Lord has played a part in her training when Mairead is at home, she has remained, largely, in her mother’s tutelage. Mairead, however, has proven to be a somewhat of disappointment to her parents and the DE. Rather stubbornly, she has maintained a loyalty to the family that raised her and a reluctance to accept her place as was seemingly defined for her. Beyond being the first in a family of Slytherins to be sorted elsewhere, Mairead has been reluctant to offer full loyalty to the DE and has kept a low profile and has stubbornly stuck by the name ó Fearghail.’
At the start of her fifth year, still going by the name Mairead, she found herself increasingly under the tutelage of Bellatrix Lestrange. Assigned to supervise and train her, Bellatrix met with Mairead in secret throughout the year. While the relationship was intended to be an entirely educational and supervisory one, a more profound surrogate mother/daughter relationship developed between them. Towards winter holidays, after a perceived act of rebellion on Mairead’s part, Bellatrix had been instructed by the Dark Lord to issue a punishment to her. Unable to do so and infuriated that Mairead’s mother had issued the punishment herself, Bellatrix abandoned her loyalty to the Dark Lord.
There had been plenty of reason to punish Bellatrix for her insubordination and there were many that blamed Mairead for the older Death Eater’s downfall. Mairead had never been entirely loyal to her father and there were many who blamed her for brainwashing the Death Eater. Rather than extracting retaliation against Bellatrix, the Dark Lord used their relationship to his advantage and struck a deal with his daughter. If she filled the space Bellatrix left among his followers, Bellatrix would be spared. As the year progressed, Mairead’s resistance to following her father began to wane. As her training intensified and she was issued her first, real assignments, her resolve against her father began to fade. Towards the end of the year, she was resorted into Slytherin and began acting more of the part of a true Death Eater.
As she continued to cooperate more, her father grew more accepting of her and the punishments dwindled. More time was spent preparing her for any number of assignments. The most significant and recent assignment was, through the use of an enhanced time turner, have her go back in time to eliminate the Dumbledores, a task that was completed successfully. However, the time turner malfunctioned on the return trip and she found herself landed her in her current place.
