Skin Tone / Pigmentation: Pale
Niamh carries the ocean within her—not as spectacle, but as mood. Just five feet tall, she moves with the calm inevitability of tides returning to shore. Her red hair flows with the wildness of coastal wind, rarely brushed into submission, and her skin holds the pale shimmer of dawn fog drifting over sea cliffs. Her sea-green eyes do not pierce, they enfold; their depth is not one of mystery but of invitation, as if asking you to float, not sink. She dresses like someone who never plans to be the loudest presence in a room—natural fibers, sea-toned hues, shells braided into strands of fabric. Her style reflects a deep relationship with the elements: salt, wood, stone, and time. And though her clothing may seem modest, there’s a quiet, regal bearing in the way she wears them—as though the sea itself clothed her in its mood. Her physical strength is in the steadiness of her frame, in the groundedness of a willow rather than the stature of an oak. She rarely rushes. Her stillness is practiced, not passive—a readiness to absorb, reflect, and respond when the world needs her most. Whether at a festival or a funeral, she brings presence like a candle brings warmth: small but profound.
Sexuality
Omnephilic
Moderately Active--Her approach to relationships is a blend of stability and openness. While she cherishes the depth and commitment of a stable, long-term partnership, she does not shy away from exploring connections with others, provided a deep emotional bond forms the foundation of these explorations.

Biographical Overview
Cultural/Personal Background
Niamh, known to loved ones as Neave, was born of seafoam and song, shaped by the reverberations of ancient tides and celestial rhythms. Her parents—Manannán mac Lir, the keeper of oceanic realms, and Cliodhna, goddess of love and beauty—bestowed upon her more than divine lineage; they gifted her the tension between movement and stillness, desire and serenity. Raised near the standing stones of Stonehenge, where ley lines hum beneath moss and myth, Niamh learned early that power need not roar. It could drift, like tides. It could heal, like silence. Rooted in Celtic mysticism yet unbound by tradition, Neave chooses reverence over ritual. The sea and the stars are her temples. Her worldview, informed by folk songs and old cosmologies, leans toward quiet idealism—an insistence that even amid chaos, gentleness has a place. She often finds herself on the fringes of gatherings, not out of discomfort but out of reverence for the stories unfolding around her. Hers is a life spent in soft study—of people, of meaning, of the sacred in the ordinary. Her relationship with Oisín anchors her. Once the mortal son of Fionn mac Cumhaill, Oisín became legend through mythic feats. But in Tír na nÓg, and in Neave’s presence, he shed the weight of heroic expectation. Their love is not a blazing passion written in saga, but a steady, enduring partnership forged in the margins of eternity. He sees the worlds she carries in her silence; she honors the stories behind his scars. Theirs is a union that doesn't demand center stage, yet holds the power to quiet storms with a glance.Archetype: Capricorn

ABILITIES
- Hydrokinesis: Niamh has mastery over water, able to control and manipulate it in all its forms. She uses this power to aid in times of drought or flood, always careful to maintain the natural balance.
Inherent Divine Abilities
- Immortality: The gods are ageless and cannot die by conventional means. To maintain secrecy, they often live in hidden or shifting locations, or periodically assume new identities to avoid arousing suspicion over their unchanging appearance.
- Shapeshifting: Gods can change their form at will, allowing them to blend into different societies or environments. This power is used discreetly to avoid drawing attention, such as adopting the guise of different people over the ages or turning into animals in inconspicuous situations.
- Superhuman Strength: This power is used with caution, as overt displays can reveal their divine nature. When necessary, gods might disguise their strength as remarkable human feats, still within the realm of human possibility, or use their strength in situations where they are not observed.
- Self-Healing Powers: Gods can heal themselves from injuries instantly, but they do so in private to avoid revealing their divine nature. In situations where they are hurt in the presence of mortals, they might retreat to a hidden location to heal.
- Flight: When gods fly, they become invisible to ensure they are not seen by mortals. This power is often used for quick, undetected travel or to reach places inaccessible by other means.
- Dreams: Communication between gods is conducted through dreams to avoid physical meetings that could be witnessed. This method allows them to exchange information and make decisions without leaving any tangible evidence of their interaction.
- Divine Inspiration: Gods inspire mortals by planting thoughts or ideas in their minds, particularly in individuals who are already creatively or intellectually inclined. This inspiration is subtle, often perceived by the mortal as a sudden stroke of genius or an epiphany, without realizing the divine influence behind it.

“The sea doesn’t shout, but it shapes the land. So must I.”
Niamh’s essence flows like a coastal hymn—softly melodic but laced with undertow. She’s attuned to nuance, preferring layered truth over convenient certainty. Her empathy is vast, though not performative. She listens deeply, often hearing the emotions behind words long before they’re spoken. For those who know her, she becomes a harbor: a place where frayed spirits rest and tangled thoughts unravel with the tide.
Still, she is not without edges. Her idealism, tempered by centuries of observation, remains startlingly intact—and when that belief in humanity is challenged, her disappointment is soul-deep. Neave doesn’t rage, but her silences can be sharper than steel. Her resolve is oceanic: shifting, but never surrendering. In moments of crisis, she becomes both balm and backbone—first a gentle guide, then a mirror that refuses to distort the truth.
Her connection with Oisín deepens these traits rather than eclipsing them. With him, she’s freer to laugh, to be silly, to be simply Neave. Their bond is built on choosing each other across lifetimes, not through grand declarations, but in the thousand tiny ways two souls say "I know you." When he forgets the light in himself, she reminds him without words. And when she doubts her place in the tides of time, he holds her hand like it’s the only compass that matters.
Socially, she’s magnetic in her subtlety. People gravitate toward her calm without always realizing why. She’d rather linger by the fire than lead a parade, and her joys are quiet ones: carving driftwood figures, humming old songs, tracing constellations with her fingertip on someone’s back. She doesn’t seek followers. She seeks fellow travelers—those unafraid of silence, of longing, of looking at the stars and seeing questions instead of answers.
