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.
Fitzgerald was born in Waikiki, Hawaii, as the second child and only daughter of gay couple Tyler Matthew Fitzgerald (a freelance 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.
Childhood
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 deployed 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.
Druidry
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 back to a rigorous understanding of the foundation basics. On the other hand, Kyle was so naturally gifted that he was earmarked as a contender for Archdruid of the grove someday.
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 the goddess 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.
Schism
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 their daughter, Jacen Fitzgerald acquired a transfer to Vibora Bay, Florida. The small druid grove there didn't know about Fitzgerald's condition, and the family made every effort to keep it a secret, especially from the voodoo practitioners that swarmed the city. Over the next year, the family settled in, and as the gods generally keep their own counsel, the Morrigan made no appearances.
Civil War
Unfortunately for the Fitzgeralds, while their transition went smoothly, their welcome was marred by ongoing tensions between the voodoo culture that shaped the city and the druids who were seen as a fringe group of interlopers. The most notable of these families was the Boudreaux line, who could trace their history back to the start of Vibora Bay. While initially limited to the occasional "prank raid" or difficult business venture, the tensions between the grove and the Boudreaux family and followers soon escalated. The voodoo families who dealt specifically with reanimation and the dead didn't like that the druids could unbind their servants—and frequently did—while the druids maintained a policy of non-engagement beyond taking care of the soulless undead who stepped into the grove's territory. Regardless of intentions, the Boudreaux saw it as a challenge to their authority, and a subtle war sprang up between them: malicious spells and gang-like activity across borders, discrimination against one or the other, and even the occasional fight when the two factions crossed at hang-out spots or on the town.
The first blood didn't involve Fitzgerald or her family, but ended in the accidental death of a Boudreaux cousin. No one knows for sure what happened; the young druids there had one story, while his friends had another.

Fitzgerald's powers and abilities are classified as "negligible to middling" on any arcane measuring scale.
This section still a work in progress; explanations and descriptions forthcoming.
Druid Magic
- Energy Draw: If her tattoos are directly connected to the earth, Fitzgerald can draw upon Gaia's bountiful energy to temporarily increase her own physical abilities, limited to speed, endurance and strength.
- Dimensional Pocket: As a druid, she is keyed to travel between the planes directly tied to Earth, including Tir na nOg. However, her power is limited to a small pocket where she can store items of value or necessity, such as a weapon.
Passive/Aura
- Animal Kinship
- Regeneration (Mild)
