Doireann Samunua

London - Pax Britannica -LPB- Walkers of the London Hedge

Sobriquet: My Lady, or River Queen

Appearance: A beautiful elf female with light brown skin and vibrant green hair that drips crystal water, her eyes like chunks of black night, wearing a tight, revealing dress.

Behavior: Doireann is cold and calm, a reflection of the flow of her demense. Her smiles and laughter are slow, sultry, and full of cold promise.

History: Doireann Samunua was born beneath a cold moon when the river first remembered its name, the child of a drowned votaress and a wanderer of reed and current. She learned to speak in silt and eddy, to braid oaths into ripples. A Vodyanoi spirit, when the old River Queen went to the depths, Doireann rose as if lifted by the river itself. The binding was simple and terrible: three vows sealed in eel-blood and old iron — keep the river near London, preserve its moods, and never let the city forget where its water sleeps. In return she took the crown of green-black hair and eyes like wet glass that see everything reflected and nothing revealed. Those who sought to bargain with her found her beautiful in a way that made their hands tremble: a promise in her smile, a current under her skin.

Now she rules like the tide, merciless and patient. Her moods are like the river — dark, murky, unfathomable — and she lets them wash over the city in slow, precise floods of favor and famine. Local fae are her playthings and pawns; she teases secrets from them, trades glimmers for obedience, then takes what is owed with a grin that tastes of algae and iron. She rearranges loyalties with a ripple, creates jealousies that rot entire courts, and punishes those who forget her by undoing their names in the mouths of men. Humans are merely weeds on her banks, acknowledged only when their vessels clog the channel or their prayers momentarily amuse her; she will drown a lover as easily as she will drown a lie. Sexy and dangerous, Doireann Samunua keeps London's river obedient and hungry, a sovereign of currents whose laughter is the sound of water swallowing stone.

The River Queen exacts tolls of the Night Folk who frequent her shores and those who come to her attention crossing her realm. Doireann has control wherever there is water running to her River, the Temesa as it was known, has always been known. Anyone who is brave enough (or stupid enough) can summon her with some blood and salt.
