Background

Who from your community taught you to have such confidence in yourself? Growing up in and around nobility, Eliseach would have been hard pressed not to have gained some confidence naturally. Her Comportment instructor, though, is the one who helped her build up her self-confidence the most.

You were in love once. Who did you adore, and how did they hurt you? No stranger to romantic flings, most often with townspeople and guilders, Eliseach fell hard for Lady Chairiste Ruadh. The Lady seemed just as besotted, but as Eliseach was making plans, Chairiste had her little brother Ciaran arrested for theft When Eliseach went to defend him, Chairiste threatened worse charges – with punishments much greater than a thieves' brand. Her brother convinced her to let it go, and she has – so far.

You've always looked up to another Bard. Who are they, and why do you idolize them? He never called himself a Bard, just a Gleeman, a Storyteller, but Bard he was. His name was Taliesin, and his voice could bring sleep, laughter or tears with but a few simple words.

Family and general background not already covered:

Nobility should not become Troubadours. They shouldn't be Bards at all. Frankly, as far as Eliseach's family is concerned, all Nobles should do is rake in the money their tenants provide, with the men becoming warriors and the women wives, or maybe priestesses.

Eliseach has always stepped outside the accepted roles, but her father refused to let her be punished for such minor issues, especially as she managed her 'appropriate' lessons quite well. Her family wasn't - and isn't - wealthy or powerful enough for any marriage agreement to help them much, especially as Eliseach isn't the eldest.

Mother: Niamh

Father: Ciaran

Eldest (Sister): Rhiannon, Lady Gailimh

Eldest (Brother): Sean

Brother (Younger): Ronan, Imprisoned

Connections

What made you realize we were going to be such good friends? The first time I heard you play the harp. (Proto)

What do I do that annoys you? Rose gets anxious when Eliseach uses cold magic like Ice Spike, and gets snippy to cover that up. (Rose)

Why do you grab my hand at night? At some function both Taman's father and Eliseach's parents attended, the children were being entertained by a storyteller. One that maybe wasn't the best at choosing what would be an appropriate story for our age range at the time. We both got very engrossed in something very spooky. At one point, the storyteller reached a very scary part in the story. Taman grabbed Eliseach's hand without thinking. Eliseach's was startled by her hand being grabbed and yelped. Eliseach's scream startled Taman and he screamed. It's now a short hand check in for "we're okay, right?". Minus the screams. (Taman)
