Post by Prof. Eithne l'Keitha on Aug 1, 2007 19:56:27 GMT
I'm old school, so my old bio is tucked away in some archive. I figure I'd dust it off and put it up for you all...
Location: NYC
How did you hear about this site: Prof. Rainer Freundschaft!
Any other Comments: It's going to take me forever to catch up on what's been going on...
Name: Eithne l'Keitha (got a lot of questions on how to pronounce that. The short answer is... I don't know - however floats your boat. Call me Bob. Wait, don't.)
Nicknames (if any): See above parenthetical.
Job Title: Herbology professor
Age: 26
Blood: half blood
Wand: Sacred Fig w/ dragon heartstring core (popular with wizards in South Asia)
Personality: Eithne is nomadic by nature and not very fond of settling down in one place - quite possibly the result of her childhood by the sea and its ever-changing current. This is her second return to Hogwarts (having been the former Transfiguration professor) after a mysterious and sudden hiatus. No one knows where she went (not even herself). She may come off as aloof or downright cold, and can be judgmental and derisive at times. However, she is trying very hard to be more polite and warmer toward those around her.
Appearance: Raven hair, blue eyes, and deathly pale.
History:
Born to a fisherman father and herbalist-healer witch mother, Eithne spent her adolescence on Inis Óirr, smallest of the Aran Islands on Ireland's western coast, learning magic from her mother and making herself useful by transfiguring simple everyday objects (seaweed into nets, seaweed into boat tar... there's a lot of seaweed on Inis Óirr). After graduating from the Scoil dar dáta Draíocht of S. Ireland, this raven-haired lass left the Emerald Isle to travel around the world, eventually finding herself in the 'jewel of the crown' - India. With a predilection for curry and lavish colours that her native islands lacked, Eithne remained in South Asia until she perfected the art of transfiguration, from turning contaminated water into chai to transforming corpses floating down the Ganges during monsoon season into funeral pyres of flaming flowers and coloured incense smoke, much to the amazement and terror of local muggles.
Having spent extended periods of meditation in India’s Gir Forest sanctuary among the nearly extinct Asiatic Lion, Eithne is also a registered animagus. [Can be found in the Ministry's registry under "Wild Cats", "Lions" and "Panthera leo"]
This is her first return to Western Europe in over a decade and she looks forward to a homemade meal of potatoes and pudding.
