Getting things moving
I think it might be good to put up a bit of information that would be known to all the other PCs here- basic description, obvious traits or powers, that sort of thing. Since we have (presumably) worked together on the Blackwater Cat for a while now, at least some observations would have been made.
Here is what I have for Aiffe:
Name: Aiffe Northwind (pronounced A-fee)
Description: Aiffe is an attractive young woman, of perhaps eighteen or twenty years of age. She is just over average height, with a slim build and the graceful movements of a trained dancer. She usually keeps her long red-gold hair tied back, either in a simple braid or wound with a red scarf. Her sparkling eyes seem perhaps just a bit too big for her face, and her skin has the slightest hint of a golden-bronze tone to it- while her features are a bit too sharp for true beauty, she has a compelling and exotic look about her. Most of the time her eyes seem to have an unfocused 'far away' look, as if she were perpetually just waking up from some kind of dream. For clothing she prefers either basic black or shades of red and orange- the colors of flame and autumn. She usually wears loose-cut black trousers tucked into soft calf-high boots, and a simple linen shirt under a heavier, high-collared wool jacket- a fashion that would be just abit odd or foreign even in as cosmopolitan a city as Lindinus. She also wears a long sword in a sheath across her back, and a heavy hunting knife at her belt.
Obvious traits: Aiffe is quiet, and bit of a scholar- she is always in search of new books to read. She rarely seems to sleep. She has a particular trinket, a sphere of cloudy swirling crystal about the size of a clenched fist- she spends a notable amount of her free time staring at it as if studying it, or watching something. She has some arcane training, and has been known to use her wizardry fairly freely- both in day to day work, and in the few fights she has engaged in; she seems to have some affinity for fire... She spends some time nearly every day to practice a form of dancing with her sword- it is hard to say whether this is exercise, training, or a sort of moving meditation.
On board the Cat: Much as she was at the Outpost, Aiffe acts as a clerk and bookkeeper aboard the Cat, in addition to other minor tasks. She also seems to be learning the basics of piloting a riverboat. While MacLynn doesn't seem to like her an awful lot (and occasionally worries that she will bring the attention of the Inquisitors), he does seem to value her sharp mind- whenever he has to negotiate or make complicated deals, he usually brings Aiffe along.
