| + | '''Annie Fitzgerald''' (born '''Anne Marie Fitzgerald'''; June 7, 1990) is a magic user of negligible ability. She is an avid surfer, having professionally competed on a national level, and a hobbyist runner. Although the PRIMUS database lists Fitzgerald as a druid of minimal to low risk, this write-up appears to directly contradict the flagged report indicating that she is the chosen vessel for an ancient Irish deity. | ||
[[File:AnnieOrigins.png|center|Origin Story]] | [[File:AnnieOrigins.png|center|Origin Story]] | ||
| − | |||
| − | + | Fitzgerald was born in Waikiki, Hawaii, as the second child and only daughter of gay couple Tyler Matthew Fitzgerald (a freeland graphic designer, stay-at-home dad and druid) and Jacen Patrick Morris Fitzgerald (a Marine). Her older brother, Kyle Kincaid Fitzgerald (born August 3, 1989) is biologically related to Jacen, while Annie Fitzgerald is biologically related to Tyler. Both children were carried by surrogate mother Lila Scott, a long-time family friend and Marine in Jacen Fitzgerald's unit. | |
| − | + | ==<div style="color:#d6ffce;">Childhood</div>== | |
| + | Both children grew up with a healthy understanding of the world and their place in it, in part due to the community aspect of their raising. They were home-schooled by Tyler and a wide array of surfers, druids in Tyler's small druid grove, military tutors, and well-meaning islanders. No matter how busy the Fitzgeralds were, or how long Jacen was stationed elsewhere, the children were never left to fend for themselves. Because of this non-traditional upbringing, they were both socialized at a very young age. | ||
| − | + | Unlike her brother, Fitzgerald was an extremely poor student, preferring surfing, sports, and the outdoors in general to studying and homework. Her teachers compromised, and many lessons were taught outside on the beach, while backpacking, even on a catamaran. While she never excelled at her lessons, she did pass her G.E.Ds at the age of eighteen with adequate colors. | |
| − | + | Fitzgerald did not attend college, while her brother is a double-major student, focusing on architectural design and eco-conservationism. | |
| + | |||
| + | ==<div style="color:#d6ffce;">Druidry</div>== | ||
| + | A druid apprentices for 12 years, and both Fitzgerald children began their apprenticeship at the age of ten. Fitzgerald again fell behind as her brother soared through the lessons involved. Shortly after Fitzgerald hit puberty, the grove came to understand that she would never be more than a marginal druid, and her lessons eased. On the other hand, Kyle was so naturally gifted that he was earmarked as a contender for Archdruid in his future. | ||
| + | |||
| + | They were both 22 years old when they received their official druid tattoos, binding them to Gaia and signifying their successful learning period. The ink and scarification process is so painful that many druids faint during the initial part of the ritual, and both children did—although Fitzgerald held out longer and still holds this over her brother. It was during this period that Fitzgerald's ''anima'' went through a remarkable change. While nobody knows just how or why, Fitzgerald was chosen by [[Morrigan|the Morrigan]] as a vessel. | ||
| + | |||
| + | This became evident when Fitzgerald's eyes opened during the tattoo process, glowing bloody red, and an unfamiliar voice from her mouth said, "It is at the guarding of thy death that I am; and I shall be." Fitzgerald remembers nothing of this, and carries no memories of any time that the Morrigan overtakes her. Despite this apparent claiming, Fitzgerald's druid abilities have not increased in any way. | ||
| + | |||
| + | ==<div style="color:#d6ffce;">Schism</div>== | ||
| + | Though the Hawaiian druid grove is small, two camps appeared within it. The first maintained that the Morrigan's choice of Fitzgerald, the druid they laughingly called 'mostly harmless', was a mistake and needed to be rectified. The second maintained that the Tuatha de Danann don't make mistakes, and wanted Fitzgerald to live as the Morrigan's vessel in perpetuity. Tensions rose so high that the grove split down the middle, and the faction that wanted Fitzgerald to keep her sudden status formed their own grove. | ||
| + | |||
| + | Unable to mend the grove or guarantee the protection of his daughter, Jacen Fitzgerald acquired a transfer to Vibora Bay, Florida. The small but moderate druid grove there agreed to keep Fitzgerald's vessel condition a secret, especially from the voodoo practitioners that swarmed the city, and the family was welcomed. | ||
