INTRODUCTION POST!!!
Saoirse:
This oc is a tad complicated in the sense that the lads don't know about her existence, only @beeari oc knows ( @mary-lotf ) of her.
Even so I created this oc for the wonderful Lord of the flies! She represents the people of Ireland and colonised people in general, she represents the other side of imperialism and colonisation, how the citizens of colonies or countries that are oppressed by bigger powers live, feel and interact.
IMPORTANT: In no way shape or form am I trying to represent all oppressed colonies and people's experiences with it, I'm white, Saoirse is white, obviously it's a different experience.
But the irish people (such as my ancestors and family members) know well and wide what colonisation and erasure feels, so that's what I feel my oc represents.
Pre-island: Saoirse was born in big, beautiful and messy Dublin, Ireland.
She was born to a working class family, living in a house on the outskirts of the city with her parents, grandfather, uncle's and cousins (the whole lot).
Her family is part of the IRA, an Irish independent terrorist group that started due to British opression and problems within the Irish country (with northern ireland and them trying to suck the Brits ass by wanting to be english). They're all militants in it and have a deep hatred to the English, a history of pain and resentment within them.
Saoirse is a very explosive, reactive, short tempered and passionate girl. Yet, under all of that there's a 13 year old girl (age in island) that wants to feel accepted by her family and resents the British army for causing all the pain and suffering to her people.
She's just a child listening to her parents blindly, doing what she feels is right, it what she was told was right.
Loving mechanics, repairing objects, knick knacks, scavenging and building, she's a very creative and intelligent girl, mostly overshadowed by her agressivity and hard exterior.
Her parents sent her to England on a mission, which is why she was on the plain when it crashed, even though she lives back home.
She was on the plane with a bomb, her mission being blowing up the plane and killing as many kids and people as possible. (Her parents are horrible yes).
Saoirse has always been very strange to others, considering the fact that from the young age of 12 she knows about her feelings towards woman (even though she doesn't know what name to give it, obviously).
Island: Once landed, as soon as she's on her feet and looks around, fear hits her- where the fuck is the bomb?
She spends days looking around for it, mary showing up and helping her (which is when they develop their deep friendship).
The boys never find out about her, since she hides out in the woods, hating every single one of them as she's surrounded by her long term enemies - the British.
Also the fact that they're all young boys that are really fucking annoying, and Saoirse is really independent.
She hangs out with Mary and no one else, getting jealous when the later talks and/or "hangs out" with ralph or piggy (usually just by talking).
Mary keeps her as a secret, and Saoirse has a signal she sends whenever she wants to hang or talk with Mary.
When Mary joins Jacks tribe, they have a very dramatic and painful falling out (as I said wlw sigh) and they don't speak again to eachother until the day Saoirse finds Marya decapitated head...
This is when she marches to Jacks tribe, full of anger and a need for violence and revenge, her stomach completely churned, just to get into an argument with jack that ends up in a physical fight.
Now even though she's extremely strong, brutish and experienced in violence, she's no match to a bunch of wild little boys with weapons, so she flees, Hor body full of bleeding wounds. And in a dazed, frantic state, looks for Mary's head and lies down next to die.
