the How Her mother is the youngest Fate, the Maiden, Spinner and Creator. Her father was born a Prince, became a Sea Captain and was later rescued from death by Poseidon and became immortal selkie and Captain of the Guard to the God.
The two of them met by chance, if there is such a thing considering just who Clotho is, and, over time, fell in love. His oath to Poseidon kept them from sharing those feelings as Poseidon was a jealous and vindictive God.
One day, however, Breacan took his ship Mithra out for a day trip. On that trip, Clotho appeared to him and they were finally able to act on their feelings.
Clotho had seen that from that union would come their daughter, and nine months later, she did. Brighid was born at home with only her Aunts present. The birth was mild, easy even, and she grew from an infant to a toddler and then to a young women in a matter of months. From there, it was her own choosing to stop at the age she has. |

the Now During her pregnancy, Clotho opted to stay in Maine. She kept by the sea during the entire thing, taking long walks on the beach both late at night and very early in the morning.
Brighid's love of the water comes from being constantly surrounded by it. She loves it when it's stormy or calm and she can tell by the sky what kind of day the water is going to have. She spent time with the sailors and the fishermen on the wharf, much to her mother's amusement, when she was growing up.
Though she knows exactly what her mother is and what she can do, her knowledge of her father is limited to what her mother is willing to share. His most private history she doesn't know. That he was a Prince, yes. That he died, yes. That he now has duties, obligations and friendships that keep him elsewhere, yes. She doesn't begrudge him any time he keeps with others; she knows that she has time enough to wait.
Her mother won't say what Brighid's thread holds for her, and Brighid wouldn't want to know if she could. The love of the unknown keeps her on her toes and though she sometimes feels uneasy walking near the beach, she knows that she's meant to be here, now.
Her Aunt Atropos is her favorite person in the world, even though her mother won't let her go to Atlantic City just yet. |

I prefer threading and my email address is notmarysunshine-at-gmail-dot-com if you need to reach me. Private messaging is also available. Brighid is not much for the smut, sorry, but the journal will be SOME adult themes, considering her parentage.
