3) Characteristics:

Background: Ciardha was born in Atlas as an only child of a middle class family. Her father doted on her as she grew up, resulting in Ciardha becoming a complete daddies girl. When she was nine her father was diagnosed with cancer, gradually getting worse until he slipped into a coma just before her eleventh birthday. After a few months with no support, her mother ordered the Doctors to stop the life support and let him die peacefully. Grief hit Ciardha hard, and she blamed her mother and the doctors for his death, claiming that they didn’t try hard enough to save him. She became determined to become a Doctor and save the people the other doctors deemed ‘helpless’.

She started studying hard, absorbing as much medical knowledge as she could whilst still attending school. Though her mother supported her goal, she held concerns over the amount of punishment Ciardha was putting herself through and feared for the young girls health. Despite any attempts to get her to slow down, Ciardha continued ploughing ahead, often sacrificing her own health in her thirst for knowledge.

Things came to a head when she was fourteen, and Ciardha collapsed underneath the strain she had put herself through. Her recovery was delayed by her own self-anger and hatred for her perceived failure of both herself and her father, and grief hit her once more. When she was fifteen, she had finally recovered enough to be declared healthy, though her own mental condition wasn’t the best. Abandoning her quest to become a doctor due to depression overcoming her because of how badly she had screwed up and the failure she saw herself as, she instead turned to a completely different course of study; combat.

She enrolled herself in [Atlas Combat Academy], pushing herself once more to catch up to her yearmates. She was careful not to overtax herself out once more, and managed to scrape a passing grade by virtue of her theoretical grades rather than her practical grades. Emboldened by her success in her newest endeavour, she enrolled herself in [Atlas Hunters Academy].

Personality: Ciardha is prone to bouts of depression, her father’s death and her own perceived failures weighing heavily on her mind. She works through these by throwing herself into new endeavours with almost reckless abandon, and has been known to sacrifice her health in pursuit of these. A very bitter young lady, she quite often blames people rather than accepting that sometimes things just happen, and will only give up on a train of thought if her life is in danger.

Likes: Learning new things, improving herself

Dislikes: giving up, doctors,

4) Trivia:

Relationships:

Her mother: loves her, but blames her for her father’s death. A lot of bitter words have been exchanged between the pair, though her mother supports her in whatever she wants to do. Often feels her worry, though justified once, is overbearing.
