Dubhaine Family/Ciarghuala

Etymology

A name in the archaic Fontanese tongue Ciarghuala is a pun which can variously mean either "friend shouldered" or "dark (hair and eyes) shouldered". When Ciarghuala was born she had a shock of fine black hair, and during her infancy she was fostered by family friends in the then independent citadel of Via.

Background

Ciarghuala is the daughter of Lady Moira Dubhaine, former Supreme Justice of Fontan and latterly an adventurer of Western Dwilight. She inherits her mother's powerful, sinewy frame which combined with her raven tresses and midnight blue eyes give her an unsettling beauty. Some have speculated that her father may not have been of the Zuma, though such fanciful tales have little place in modern genealogy.

Raised from early childhood on the borders of the wild Zuma lands, the young Ciarghuala is more at ease in the wilderness than the densely-packed cities of the inner sea.

Personality

Raised in the wilderness of Western Dwilight on the border of the dread Zuma lands, Ciarghuala is tough and self-reliant even by the standards of the Dubhaine matriarchs. She also shares her mother's deep-seated hatred of injustice and tyranny.
