⊹₊♔₊⊹ i just saw Cairbre ‘Cair’ Laith arriving at the rite! the spy from Segary is said to be associated with a smirk hidden behind the rim of a wine glass, the taste of secrets lingering on their lips, the scent of frost and fire clinging to their skin, a healer’s touch that burns instead of soothes, fox’s laughter in the dead of night. well, that makes sense considering they are known to be resilient but also impulsive. they are feeling reluctant about the rite.

#Bullet points
001.
Cair was raised by a coven of witches who lived in the mountains of Segary, a coven that practiced nothing but dark magic. Their mother always told them that the darkness, sacrifices, and curses were gifts their ancestors had blessed them with. Yet, when the crops failed, and Cair saw their people suffer, they knew they needed to do something more. They began to lean more towards the light, though they would not hesitate to reach for the darkness when pushed.
002.
They are often seen walking down the streets, muttering and arguing with their familiar Rua as if one might argue with their spouse of fifty years. But They have known each other far longer than that. They don't have a memory of life without their familiar. They will argue, but mainly because Rua is sure that they will get themselves killed for being a dumbass (she has a point). Meanwhile, Cair complains about the familiar's white hair sticking to everything she touches.
003.
They have been working on learning light magic for the past few years. While dark magic comes naturally to them, light magic is something they are struggling to perfect. Their cures and remedies tend to be twisted into something dark and menacing. Their tongue is not used to being used for goodness.
004.
They left their coven and joined the court to train to become a healer, but it only took a couple of weeks before they were told to never attempt to heal anyone again. Refusing to return to the coven, they found a new path within the court. They became a spy. Despite their knack for spying, they are not the most subtle spy in the world. However, they still somehow manage to get away with everything. They manage to charm their way through the most chaotic situations, and somehow, they survive it all (while almost giving their Rua a heart attack).
005.
Cair is known for their chaotic energy in court and their knowledge of magic and spying. People wish they did not need them, but they do, and because they are surprisingly good at what they do, they let them get away with it, even if at least half the court in Sergary will probably roll their eyes whenever they walk into the room.
#Connection ideas
These are all super open-ended! If you want to fill them, please go wild and do whatever your little heart wants!
Spymaster: Someone who has had to deal with Cair since day one. They trained them to become a spy and probably regret it, let's be honest.
A healer: Someone they used to train with back when Cair was trying to become a healer, so they know how terrible they were at it. Years later, they are still somehow friends.
Someone who knows too much about them: Maybe another spy or someone from a different court. They keep running into each other, and it unnerves Cair.
