Deirdre O'Connor
#fc: carey mulligan
# banshee
โกcoded by uxieโก
BASICS
Full Name. Deirdre O'Connor
Age. She's been 28 for quite some time
Gender. Cis Female
Pronouns. She/Her
Sexuality. Heterosexual
APPEARANCE
Height. 5โ7
Hair. A light brown that borders on blonde after time in the sun
Eyes. Brown
Build. Thin, delicate
General Appearance. At one point, Deirdre had a more filled-out, softer figure and color in her cheeks. Though, by the time she died, she had become rather pale and bony, bordering on fragile. Her long hair is often secured out of her face by being pinned up or plaited down her back. Her dresses are often simple, but well-kept. Deirdre often opts for practicality over aesthetics (of course, she still enjoys it when she feels pretty). She mends any tears and defects until the garment is no longer wearable.
SPECIES
Banshee. Banshees are harbingers of death. They let out a powerful cry that alerts those who hear it that death is near. Though it is never truly known who. Of course, if someone is quite ill, it can often be assumed, but there have been stories of battles called off after a banshee released a cry. The cry can range from wailing to shrieking, though some have reported keening as well. The cries can be powerful enough to shatter glass, stun others, and cause a lingering ringing of the ears. Banshees cannot suppress their cries as they come on involuntarily. However, they can produce their cry at any time, even when there is no death to follow. They often weep and sob while they let out their cry.
While their cry signals death, it does not directly cause it. On rare occasions, one can even save themselves from their death (though they must have some idea of the circumstances that will cause their death, like choosing not to go off to battle). They may be immortal, but they are not invulnerable. Banshees can be killed by decapitation and fire (or likely anything equally as damaging, such as being blown up). However, they will not age or be scarred otherwise. Banshees are not bothered by the usual weapons of silver and religious itemsโ Deirdre has never had trouble going into a church for mass either.
INVENTORY
-A Silver Comb. Banshees are known to possess combs made of silver and Deirdre is no different. However, when someone other than her touches it, it would chill them to the bone and give off an aura of death.
-Cloak. Deirdreโs cloak is grey in color and looks quite light and airy, almost weightless. However, it does keep her warm when necessary
PERSONALITY
Likes. Music, singing, a nice breeze, mild weather, hearing stories, fresh bread, animals, sitting by a fire, flowers, moonlight
Dislikes. The English, displays of wealth and opulence, silence, swimming, people who donโt understand โnoโ, wasting things, scratchy fabrics, heavy rains, excessive heat, liars
General Personality. Deirdre is calm, cool, and collected. She has always kept a rather level head. However, everyone has their limits. Pushed too far, she will become spiteful and unforgiving. She has always been the type to keep busy and feels uncomfortable when she is idle. She is honest and straightforward, not one to beat around the bush. She sees no use in lying unless thereโs a good reason for it. She can be cool towards strangers but warms up with time. Additionally, she carries a rather mournful aura, no matter her mood. She also tends to cry quite easily, even if she isnโt all that emotional. These two traits are likely related to her becoming a banshee as she did not carry them when she was living.
Skills. Cooking, sewing & stitching (mostly clothing and other fabrics but she can do a decent job at stitching a wound too), animal handling, steady shot, speedy
HISTORY
-Born on a farm in the Connemara region of Ireland.
-Third of nine children.
-Life wasnโt easy, but it was nothing compared to what was to come.
-The years of the Great Famine, or as Deirdre calls it in Droฤ-แน aoฤกal (the Hard Time), were the most significant years of her life.
-She lost countless family and friends to death or emigration.
-Food was scarce and diseases spread rapidly
-Deirdre caught the eye of a wealthy Englishman, Peter Cavendish
-Deirdre frequently rejected his advances. One evening, she turned down a proposal despite his (likely empty) promises of wealth and food for both her and what remained of her family.
-Peter was offended at the dismissal of his kindness and became enraged. He killed Deirdre in his fury.
-The next thing that she remembers is that she was standing next to her own grave. In her possession was a silver comb and a grey cloak that she did not previously own.
-She didnโt need an explanation of what she was. She just knew.
-Upon learning that Peter fled to America after his crimes, Deirdre made the decision to follow.
-She intended to be the one to foretell Peterโs own death. However, she was not going to let him live his life unpunished.
-She would hide and wail and keen outside his home, despite having no indication of his death. However, he didnโt know that it was a farce. He lived in constant fear and paranoia.
-On occasion, heโd get a glimpse of her and move elsewhere, thinking she was a ghost haunting her. He wasnโt totally incorrect, but she was no ghost.
-She followed him from place to place until, finally, the day came that he was to die. Her shrieks shattered the glass in his home.
-Afterward, she spent her time living a semi-nomadic lifestyle.
-She met the group by chance and ended up falling in with them about five years ago.
EXTRA DETAILS
-Speaks Irish, specifically Connacht Irish
-Although her wailing and shrieking can be quite painful, she does have a lovely singing voice
-Sean-nรณs singing and lilting are generally what she sings, though on occasion she will step outside of her comfort zone
-Didnโt have much of an education but can read and write well. She knows enough math that she could run her household.
-Generally will not discuss in Droฤ-แน aoฤกal, though she's said bits and pieces over the years.
-She avoided starvation by stealing, though she has not stolen much since becoming a banshee as she worries about wailing in times when she needs to be silent.
-Will sew/mend clothes for you if you ask nicely (though she may act botheredโ she's really not).
-Will still go to church on a Sunday if they are near a Catholic church and there is time for her to attend.

Elijah Amos Granger
Aliases: โEli,โ โPadreโ
Age: 51
Gender: Male
Species: Human (Mortal)
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Height: 6โ0โ (183 cm)
Build: Lean and weathered
General Appearance
Eli has a rugged, sun-worn face with deep-set, weary eyes. His dark hair is streaked with gray, kept short but slightly unkempt. He sports a full but well-kept beard, showing signs of age and hard experience. His skin is tanned from years of exposure to the elements, and he typically wears a long preacherโs coat over simple, rugged clothes. Beneath the coat, he conceals a revolverโan old weapon he swore never to use again. His hands are calloused, and his body bears enough scars for two lifetimes.
Skills
- Skilled marksman
- Tactical and experienced in battlefield strategy
- Fluent in both English and Spanish
- Knowledgeable in scripture and preaching
- Well-versed in wilderness survival
- Competent in hand-to-hand combat
Personality
Elijah "Eli" Granger, also known as "Padre", carries a quiet intensity, embodying a man whose spirit is burdened by guilt and driven by vengeance. He is a man of few words, choosing silence over unnecessary conversation, but when he speaks, itโs often with a calm yet chilling authority. He frequently quotes scripture, twisting it to reflect his pursuit of justice, as though using divine words to justify his bloody path. This gives him an eerie, almost sermon-like demeanor in battle, offering his enemies final prayers before delivering their end. Granger is methodical and patient, hunting his enemies with the precision of a predator but maintaining an air of righteousness as if each kill is a form of penance. Despite his hardened exterior, there are still moments of unexpected compassion, especially for the innocent. Granger has a particular soft spot for children and dogs, viewing them as truly innocent and blissfully ignorant. He often goes out of his way to help children, even if it creates unnecessary obstacles. His quirks include always polishing his old cavalry revolver before a fight, an act of ritual, and occasionally humming old hymns under his breath. Granger is unrelenting, viewing his pursuit of vengeance as a divine mission, turning scripture into his weapon as much as the bullets he fires.
History
The Civil War
Elijah Granger served in the Union Army during the Civil War, enlisting in the cavalry. He fought in several brutal campaigns, witnessing the horrors of war firsthand. During the conflict, he developed a reputation as a capable officer and an excellent horseman. Granger fought at key battles in the Western theater. His unit was commanded by Colonel Solomon Creed, a cruel but cunning leader. Creed developed an infamous reputation for being a merciless opponent who often reveled in surprise attacks. Granger would come to both fear and respect the man for his ability to inspire fear in his foes and awe among his men. By the end of the war, his faith in both the Union cause and humanity itself had been shaken by the bloodshed he saw on both sides. Still, he remained loyal and continued his service after the war concluded.
The Red River War
After the war, Granger and his unit were dispatched to Texas to fight a war of conquest against the Commanche and Kiowa nations. Under the ruthless command of Colonel Creed, their unit participated in harsh campaigns that targeted both combatants and civilians. Granger, initially loyal, grew increasingly disillusioned with Creedโs cruelty as they committed numerous atrocities against defeated enemies and defenseless villages. The final straw came when Creed ordered the massacre of an Arapaho community who were known to be neutral. Unable to stomach the brutality any longer, Granger shot Creed in cold blood. In the ensuing chaos, Granger was branded a traitor and forced to kill several of his former comrades before being grievously wounded and left for dead.
A Second Chance
Granger was saved by a Commanche hunter who found him and nursed him back to health. The experience of being saved by those he once fought against further deepened his guilt. Unable to continue living with the violence he had committed, Granger renounced his old life, adopted the name โElรญas,โ and fled to Northern Mexico. There, he began preaching in a small, isolated village, seeking atonement by helping the poor and guiding them toward peace. He built a new life there, raised a family, and became integral to the community. For a time, Granger believed he had found some measure of redemption and chance at a peaceful end.
The Shadows of the Past
Alas, this peace would not last. Unbeknownst to Granger, Colonel Creed had returned as a revenant. Fueled by supernatural hatred and a pact with foul magic, Creed was cursed to walk the earth once more as a vengeful and spiteful spirit. With a ghostly posse of soldiers who had died under his command, Creed tracked Granger to his village in Mexico. One fateful night, Creed and his undead army razed the town to the ground, killing his family and the people Granger had come to care for. Creed, the cruel man that he was, Granger for last, murdering everyone he loved in front of him and burning away his newfound life. Yet, in that final moment of despair, Creed left Granger alive. Creed would leave Granger to walk this earth, stripped of the peace he had found--the life he had built. Creed relished more in allowing Granger to suffer in living than allowing him to leave this earth.
After Creed and his ghostly soldiers had left, Granger wandered the smoldering ruins aimlessly. He traveled to the graveyard at the top of the hill where he had buried his revolver, a weapon he swore never again to touch. Granger decided the last life his gun would take should be his own. As he hesitated, he thought of his family and the people he inadvertently doomed to a terrible fate. Granger realized he did not feel sadness or regret, he felt--hatred. A seething desire for vengeance stirred in his breast. Instead of ending his life, Granger returned to the graveyard to bury his family. On their memory, he swore vengeance against Creed and the monsters that lurked in the night, the spirits that found joy in razing the life he had built to the ground. His quarrel was with the unseen world, if the monsters saw fit to make his life hell he would return the gesture in kind.
A New Beginning
Elijah Granger, scarred by the horrors he had both inflicted and endured, sought salvation through relentless action. With his faith as his guide and his fury unbridled, he took up the life of a monster-hunting gunslinger, roaming the desolate reaches of the West. Every creature he encountered, every sign of the supernatural, he saw as an affront to God and man alike. He hunted with a zeal unmatched, wielding his revolver like an instrument of divine wrath, believing it his duty to cleanse the world of every demon, spirit, and twisted creature he encountered.
At first, Granger was uncompromising. Each monster was a corruption to be burned out, no questions asked, no mercy given. Yet, as his path wound through shadowed towns, dusty plains, and haunted mountain passes, he encountered monsters that didnโt fit his understanding. He found himself face to face with people who had been cursed, tricked, or driven to desperation, their humanity eroded by forces beyond their control. Some were families torn apart, villagers harboring dark secrets, or even children born with strange gifts they never sought. In their faces, Granger glimpsed echoes of his own sufferingโthe same helplessness heโd felt when Creed razed his flock, forcing him onto a path of blood and retribution.
It gnawed at his hardened heart, forcing him to question his righteous fury. Slowly, Grangerโs black-and-white view of the world blurred into shades of gray. He couldnโt bring himself to destroy a boy whoโd been cursed by his fatherโs sins, nor an old woman who had become a monster simply by refusing to die. He began to see his crusade not as the eradication of all monsters, but as the protection of the innocent, both mortal and not.
Elijah tempered his wrath, his faith unshaken but redirected, focusing on those who willingly spread darkness, regardless of their form. He hunted the wicked who preyed upon others, humans and creatures alike, with an understanding that it was often the mortal heartโgreedy, vengeful, cruelโthat bred the truest evil. And when he encountered monsters born not from darkness but from human selfishness and hatred, he no longer saw himself as a judge of the damned but as a shield for the innocent. His faith had brought him full circle, for though his understanding of โmonstersโ had changed, his duty remained pure: to bring justice to a world still darkened by manโs deepest sins.
Extra Details:
- Granger kept the name "Padre" after he turned to monster hunting as an ode to the life he once had.
- Granger's weapon of choice is an old Remington revolver, which he perceives as a tool of righteous vengeance.

general appearance โ practicality plays a major part in helen's wardrobe. she's long since traded pretty dresses and petticoats for wide-legged pants and cowboy boots. her hair, which at some point in her past was always worn in a perfect updo of curls and braids, is now an unwashed, tangled mess. her skin, once flawless, is now marred by callouses and wrinkles and countless scars. but what one will notice the most, however, is the snake tattoo on her face. it doesn't end there though, and instead travels all the way down and across her body โ the story behind which still remains a mystery to even the longest standing members of the team themselves.
