Claire/Intro

Notable Traits

Mortal name: Claire Danforth Fae name: Lady Iolhinn ni Ailil Hair Color: Black Eye Color: Amber Height: 5'7" Ethnicity: Caucasian Nationality: American Seelie Legacy: Gadfly Unseelie Legacy: Cerenaic Kith: Pooka (Bat) Profession: Social Parasite Boons, Botches and Birthrights As a Pooka and a titled member of House Ailil, Claire cannot botch Empathy, Subterfuge or Politics rolls.
