Eira Sketch.jpg

Introduction

Eira (pronounced air-ah) is a light of humanity among the Valdyr, holding strong against the Beast - though not without cost. She's a lowly neonate who has a thousand times more sway in mortal society than in Kindred, and tends to come off as more of an annoyance to those outside of her family, then anyone with any substantial influence.

Apparent Age: 19
Concept: Mistress of the Longhouse
Faction: Collectivists

Notable Traits

  • Striking Looks ••••
  • Fame • (Businesswoman)
  • Blood Potency ••

Appearance

Blonde hair, blue eyes, and sweet looks - along with classy, well-cared for blonde hair that wafts thickly around her head. Eira tends to keep to dress very, very conservatively, never showing much skin or cleavage, though her wardrobe in that regard varies between comfortable, warm sweaters to elegant cocktail numbers.

Personality

Eira has a sweet personality, though she occasionally comes across as a bit desperate to please. Along with being rather eager and willing to help, she's also rather optimistic, often to a fault. The smile's backed up by a sharp mind and an iron determination, though, and the combination of charm, intelligence and willpower has served her well in building up her business empire.

Mortal World

Most of the mortal world doesn't particularly know her, but her face and name is vaguely familiar. Operating under her mortal identity, Molly Bairre, she maintains a large portfolio of various investments, properties, and employees for the family, managing everything from a group of political lobbyist to a charitable religious organization to a private health care company - and then some.

There's also a few gossip articles about her, gossiping about nocturnal habits and religious faith; one of the most recent covers her showing up to a high society function completely drunk.

Hadegi International

This information is listed OOC, for the reference of STs. Hadegi International is a huge corporation based in Brisbane; it originally started as a business sub-contracting under the Federal Government, but has expanded rapidly over the last five years, becoming one of the fastest-growing businesses in Australia.

Shelter of Faith

Shelter of Faith is a non-for-profit organization publicly supported by Hadegi as a major charity. It offers support to the Archdiocese of Brisbane and the churches under it, along with creating significant support to Brisbane's homeless.

Information Known by Kindred Society

Eira's got a lot of stories going on about her. She narrowly avoiding a breach of the Masquerade while she was released, and has successfully annoyed quite a few members of the Court - including her erstwhile Prince whom she was so devoted to, until recently. Even her family frowns at how soft-hearted and overly attached to her Humanity she is, and some members of the Court opinions with opinions a lot more disapproving.

That said, there's no denying that she's starting to learn; she's making less waves than she did upon her release. She's just got to make sure she can keep that up.

Lineage

Fenrisúlfur: Fenris, the Wolf of Despair
Hati Hróðvitnisson: Hati, the Moon Stalker

Many names of those in between have been lost to the Eclipse.

All known members of the Australian branch of the family descend from Vilrec Langlifr.
Means not in play, either through Death or Retirement

Known Sire

Eira's relationship with her Sire is, at least on her end, absolutely devoted - a genuine, caring warmth that some have mistaken for the Vinculum. It's all the more surprising considering the events that led to her Embrace - a subject of quiet shame for him, but one she's seemingly forgiven him for. In fact, she seems to have pulled Rasmus from the depths of his Beast, helping him as best as she can while learning at his side.

Known Relatives

Despite clawing out Eira's stomach after a heated argument between the two, the pair's relationship has slowly begun to rebuild. Slowly, mind you.
While Eira tries her best to get Adrian to open up, it hasn't worked - he is, however, responsible for finally managing to instill her with a small amount of combat skill and fitness, helping her find her strengths.
They've met occasionally, and when Aksel heard of her medical skills, she was contacted in the hopes she'd be able to assist his recovery.
With Eira's significant interest in medicine - though admittedly more in the field of mental health - it's not surprising that her and Charlotte get along splendidly. She's worked at Toowomba Hospital with Charlotte along with receiving a great deal of tutelage from her.

Known Childer

Eira has no known Childer, and has stated her lack of desire to grant the Embrace.

Known Mentors

There was a time when the faithful Catholic found about the dark religion of the Kindred, learning about it without telling her family. For whatever reason, she turned her back on it shortly after.
Henry is the Carthian responsible for honing Eira's natural business instinct. While it's rare to have friends in the Danse Macarbe, the two seem to get on splendidly, and work very, very well together.

Quotes About

"She has eternity to learn to kill, to maim, to harm. To slowly give over to the madness that forces the beast to carnage; this will happen. For now, she needs to have the clarity that comes with peace or our line will destroy itself."
Archived-Rasmus Armfelt
"She is young, and she is learning. So I forgive her from time to time."
Archived-Vilrec Langlifr
"For me? Oh, Rasmus, you shouldn't have. Though I generally prefer my morsels to have a little more fight in them...
And I know a baited hook when I see one."
Archived-Batavia, to herself, upon Eira's ill-advised visit to Canberra in 2010.
"The piyagaq came and spoke to me of the hunt - as if I had not spent more than ten times her life hunting. Spoke of wind as if I had not felt its bitter rush against my face a thousand times before, both here and in the endless winter desert. Spoke of blood as if I had not had my own fill. As if I had not drunk the life out of Nujalik herself! Spoke of family as if they had not given me nothing but isolation and hunger... If she speaks to me about any of these things again she’ll find more than her ankle torn out."
Archived-Kohana after meeting her at Conclave.
"I know this is going to sound mean but my honest opinion is you have gone from one of the worst kindred I've ever met, to entirely adequate. That's a big step up! ."
Archived-Marcel Duchamp
"Quite the life of the party, isn't she? More fun than a big bag of cats."
Avery Blaise, after Archived-Eira's "incident" with Archived-Tobias Mol at Sydney's November 2014 court.
"Lordy, what a mess."
Archived-Connie Gambrell, wrinkling her delicate nose in distaste...whether in reference to Eira herself, or to her bloody indiscretion, is unclear.
"We were sisters. We drank tea, and talked, and laughed at ourselves and our courts, and held onto the balance together. Then something happened, and the Eira who trusted me to look after her turned into an animal who thinks me weak and foolish. They say if you love something, let it go. Not bloody likely. I will fight that animal for her, and I will have my sister back."
Archived-Fatimah al-Mu'allima, after an incident in Sydney.
"Eira did it!"
Archived-Dr. Delilah Drake, when Archived-The Doctor Whos were brought before Archived-Tybalt.
"She's beginning to irritate me."
Archived-Lothar after having his conversation interrupted again.
"How does it feel, chum, knowing that you're floating face-down in a pool of sharks?"
Archived-Tobias Mol after a meeting at the recent Conclave.
"If you can't show us that you have the killer instinct to hurt me here, where you know you're barely going to scratch me, then how can I trust you to do your part for the family in board rooms and business meetings when it's real? Now grab that rifle, and try again."
Archived-Adrian Dansk, lecturing Eira during an early training exercise.
"Seems I owe you my skin little one, for that I thank you, it would have been uncomfortable to look like burnt toast till the end days."
Archived-Aksel Vinter, to Eira at the family gathering after awakening from Torpor.
"Never, ever go to another city without my express permission. You came within an inch of death and caused me no small amount of embarrassment. Do not think that simply because you are weak I will not discipline you."
Archived-Rasmus Armfelt, after Eira returned from Canberra
"Wolves are predators, child, they do not like to be hand fed. They are noble animals who hunt without remorse for their prey. You'd be wise to learn that before you start trying to turn the child of my wolves into a vegetarian."
Archived-Vilhelmiina, after Eira tried to turn the wolf Vilhelmiina gave her into a vegetarian and the wolf becoming ill.

Conversations

"Alright, uh, pack howl!"
"You don't tell people you're about to howl, childe. You do it - and everyone joins in."
Vilrec instructs Eira on the more subtle arts of being Valdyr.
"Ay-ra?"
"No, it's more like ee-ra."
"Eye-rah?"
"I thought it was ay-rah."
"Which is it?"
"... Now I don't even know any more."
The Archived-Valdyr quiz Archived-Eira on her name's pronunciation.
"Maybe the tale of Fenris and the moon isn't about gods; maybe it's about you and I. Maybe it's talking about a hungry wolf that wants to consume the light of the moon, raging at it and snapping its jaws as it strains to get closer. And then, one day, it'll finally manage to swallow it whole, so that there's no light left. That's our personal Ragnarok - eternal darkness, and a raging beast."
"Your humanity becomes you, Eira. I just hope it doesn't get you killed one day."
Eira and Adrian, talking in Toowoomba.
"I'd love to contribute my opinion, your Majesty, but I fear that as a member of the Court who's merely Acknowledged, my word would be considered worthless in these proceedi-"
"Oh, shut up and tell me what happened."
Eira and Archived-Tybalt.
"Warriors of old were said to get visions of their ancestors driving them to battle."
"I don't know if I like the thought of that."
"It happens to the leaders and heroes of our lineage - those dreams are a blessing. Are you afraid of us going to war?"
"Very much so, Sire."
Eira and Rasmus.
"Archived-Ulrich said WHAT?!"
"SHHHH! He's right there, he'll hear you! But he totally did!"
Eira and Fatimah, giggling over tea.

Rumors

  • While her hold on her Beast is like iron, and near-unshakeable, the sight of claws is still enough to put her at risk of the Rötschreck.
  • Undoubtedly one of Rasmus' greatest disappointments.
    • Seriously. A stiff breeze could put her into torpor, and she fights like her arms are made of wet cardboard.
  • Her businesses runs most of the above-ground, charitable services for the government of Brisbane, or lend assistance for a low price - her areas of influence range healthcare, the church to universities and homeless aid.
  • Knows the Ordo Dracul secrets necessary to stay awake during daylight.
  • Her current goal is to build the tallest building in the world, and she's always looking for investors.
  • Has the first Boon she ever earned - a minor, from Archived-Doubting Thomas, framed and on display in her office.
    • Speaking of Boons - the reason she owes a bunch to her family? It's so nobody will kill her for fear of inheriting a debt.
  • There's a big bet going on between her and an Elder of the Invictus.
    • Stupid bet, too.

Inspirations and Soundtrack

"I think that we’re all in our private traps, clamped in them, and none of us can ever get out. We scratch and we claw, but only at the air, only at each other, and for all of it, we never budge an inch."
"Sometimes, we deliberately step into those traps."
"I was born into mine. I don’t mind it anymore."
"Oh, but you should. You should mind it."
