About: A 1000 year old warrior of Irish legend, Aoife has seen and done a lot. She has loved and lost and dealt with some true horrors, but as a legend she is kept alive by faith and the storytelling of her former home. Now, having taken refuge in Encrucijada, she just wants to manage her rental property business, work out, and maybe find a new girlfriend. When she encounters Diya, she is instantly smitten, but has been so long out of the dating game that she struggles to let her true feelings be known. Aoife has long-standing trouble with both the Seelie and Unseelie Courts because of the many times that she has tricked them into giving her magical weaponry, etc. She is covertly fond of the changeling twins, Tik and Tok, and does what she can to make sure that they are safe and taken care of (without them knowing, of course). She is strong-willed, can be authoritative when she needs to be, and sometimes has a hard time with emotions.
Special skills preferred: Able to sing, if you are not Irish or Scottish, ability to do Irish/Scottish accent a plus!
(Record just Aoife's lines, please)
DIYA
And, um, you’re sure that this is the correct price? You’re really renting for $300 a month?
AOIFE
(Suddenly acting very offended)
Did you think I was lying?
DIYA
N-no! It just seems too good to be true. Like, there’s always a catch with something like this, usually.
AOIFE
(Cooly)
Well, there’s not. I just like providing affordable housing. I’m not like some damned--Well, not like some people in this town.
(Softening a bit)
Would you like the tour before I give you the keys?(Record just Aoife's lines, please)
AOIFE
(Slightly taken aback)
Okay, fair enough.
(Footsteps, door slamming)
Huh. Alright, now you two--GET AWAY FROM THE WINDOW, TOK. Both of you, listen to me. You know she’s new, she doesn’t understand what this place is yet. She doesn’t know the rules.
TOK
So what?
AOIFE
So that means, until she figures everything out--and I forbid you from telling her--I’m the one who’s dictating the rules regarding entering this house. So you are both going to stay out of this house, you are not going to go inside it, and you are not going to even try to get inside it. Nor will you make anyone else do so. Got it?
