Please remember that events described in this article are roleplay and acting. Actions done in-character do not reflect on the actual person portraying the character!

Origin

With the quarantine of Callous Row finally lifted, Ciara Ní Éabha returns to her troubled city seeking out her last class of students where were dispersed to the camps. Finding only Viana, Ciara gives her graduating lesson before reconnecting with other residents to recruit her next crop of students. With the expectation that her ATLAS-funded but non-affiliated school would be allowed to continue, she acts as a normal citizen when in public and speaks well of her philanthropic benefactors.

Secretly, Ciara feels lost in a world that she cannot embrace. Only her obsession with magic, and the tiny stipend of her tutoring, keep her sane. Her love of the unknowable lead her astray and granted a renewed purpose. This drive is a dark energy that fulfills her corrupted need to educate and care for her charges. Now she serves a new purpose that taints her love of educating her beloved children. After being left for dead by her fellow mages, Ciara seeks retribution upon the denizens of the Undercity by turning them over to TALARIS for experimentation and expanding her Dark powers.

History

Careful to keep her growing delight in all things magic hidden, she does her best to present the perfect citizen to retain her tiny income with the constant worry that she will be discovered.

Magical bullets and betrayal

Ciara helps Rook, the owner of the Grindstone, with researching a mysterious box of ammo that he 'acquired' previously. With the help of Ikelos, the type of corruption is identified, for these are mage-killing bullets.

Unfortunately Kythus betrays his fellow mages by tattling on Ciara and seals his fate with the vengeful teacher. In the overworld, Ciara tells an inspirational story to Angelina, a new student. Hot dogs are devoured, fights are attended, and plans for the Dark Sisterhood's first actions are set in motion; for who will defend the downtrodden mages if not themselves?

Embraced by Shadow

Tracked by an assassin, Ikelos is struck down in front of the Coven. Moving to eliminate witnesses, both Kythus and Ciara are shot. Ciara dies from her wounds before the entrance to the Coven. Finding her corpse within the Hospital a Power calls to its kindred and resurrects the newly born Dark Sister.

The End of All Things

Therein she excavates the ruins to extract and research the artifacts left after his defeat. Angie joins her favored teacher and together the new Dark Sisters work to uncover the secrets of Shadow magic and implement their plans to 'save' Callous Row.
