Personal Questions
1. Describe your character's personality
Etain tends to be rather out going, yet can be quiet and watchful when taking in her new surroundings. As part of her study after finishing law school, she will often go to bars and do nothing but watch people for hours. She will never approach a man or a woman first, depending on whichever she feels would satisfy her on any given evening. It isn't a lack of confidence that makes her appear to be shy upon first sight, but a deep confidence that someone WILL approach her.

2. Describe how your character would appear to a stranger (I.E. typical dress, way they carry themselves etc.)
To a stranger, Etain would appear to be shy. She can and will dress for any occasion, but her clothing of preference would be form fitting t-shirts, relaxed jeans and a pair of docs. She always wears a pentacle around her neck fashioned out of platinum, with 5 different coloured gems at each point. If speaking with her, she speaks with an obvious Irish lilt to her voice.

Personal History (Please be detailed, this creates your basis for your character)
Etain Donegan was born on April 3, 1980 to Deirdre and Cormac Donegan in Kilkenny, Ireland. Both of her parents were defense attorneys, which left her and her twin brother in the care of a nanny most of the time. At the age of four, her brother, also named Cormac, met his end when he fell into the swimming pool. Life for Etain became very lonely after that. As much as her nanny tried, she just couldn't get the young girl to engage in play. Filled with grief, her parents threw themselves even more into their work instead of their remaining daughter. At the age of seven, they decided to send her to an all girls boarding school in Dublin where she eventually learned the true value of friendships and bitchiness. A Catholic school, despite her deep heritage in the Old Religion.

She was always a little awkward during the years when she was growing up. While most of the other girls were growing up and out, Etain remained the same, short and under developed. While it made the public showering of the girls dorms uncomfortable, she learned to adapt and not care so much. Her mother was of slight build as well, and she was powerful. She knew that she'd eventually come into her own. And come into her own she did. By the age of fourteen she knew that she was attracted to both boys and girls. While she knew that wasn't "normal", she knew of at least one other girl that felt the same and they eventually began to meet for secret snogging sessions. They experimented and played quite regularly until the other girl moved back home during the summer of her 10th grade year. By then Etaine had also become to know the glory that boys could bring, as well as sneaking out of the dorms late at night to go to the local pubs. There wasn't a single person that would have guessed that she wished to lead such a life just by looking at her. She hid it all very well. On the outside she looked like a perfectly well behaved young girl. She knew proper ettiquette. She knew how to set a perfect table for a dinner party. And she knew how to manipulate those around her for her own good. To those that weren't pinning her up against the outside wall of the church, she was as innocent as a lamb. That's how people would always see her.

It wasn't until her final year in school that her father began to take an interest in her future. He began sending her information on Universities and law schools. She would do as her father wished, if for no other reason than the profession fit her personality. Now she would learn to manipulate on a whole new level. To her it seemed perfect. Upon graduation she was immediatly packed and ready to head to Palo Alto, California where she would attend Stanford University for pre-law. It was there that she learned some of her true talents. She studied hard as well as manipulated her way to the top of the class. She had no doubt that she would get into the law school of her choice, and she did. In a whirlwind she found herself across the country in Massachusets at Harvard Law School. Home of the upwardly mobile. She was in her element and she knew it.

It was during her time at Harvard that she truly learned how to read people. She gave up her carousing time to just sit in the library and watch people while she studied. She watched everyone and knew what and who they were doing. She would see a smile from across the room or a gentle rub of the knee under a table. She knew when people were cheating. She knew those that were dedicated and those that were just sliding by. It was simple and it had become her new hobby. She had spent so much time trying to fulfill her own needs that she had neglected to learn the needs of others. During her case studies she learned how to read even further into people, and thrived on writing up arguments for the courtroom that would turn any guilty man into a saint. She had a trusting face and she used it at every opportunity.

By the time she graduated with honors, people watching had become an obsession. She chose to move to the thriving Nachton City to continue with that obsession. She had heard some very intersting things. There was a dark side to the city, and she liked the dark. It's when the real people came out to play. And join them in play was exactly what she would do.
