Dubhaine Family/Scein

Etymology

A name in the archaic Fontanese tongue Scein means "terror", derived originally from scian, an assassin's blade used at close quarters. Hence Scein's full name means "the terror wielded by the women of dark countenance".

Background

Scein is the daughter of Lady Moira Dubhaine, the former Supreme Justice of Fontan. As with all the line of Moira she has the powerful, sinewy frame of a seasoned warrior. Scein's midnight-jet hair frames a pallid face of unearthly comeliness whilst her ice-blue eyes seem to burn with an inner light. Some have speculated that her father may not have been human, though the famed reticence of the Dubhaine family in such matters casts little light on the truth.

Raised in the badlands of the Zuma in western Dwilight the young Scein is a fearsome hunter and a natural leader who understands the virtue of strength and the importance of justice.

Personality

There is a dominant streak in the Dubhaine blood which Scein inherits, and where in her kindred it's been tempered by a courtly upbringing, in Scein's case it's purity is undiminished. As such she's cold-hearted - some would even say merciless - and maintains a strict impartiality in her dealings with others, knowing that at any moment she may need to judge them for their failings.
