[lpbestiary]

The caoineag is a female spirit in Scottish folklore. Known as "the weeper," she is sometimes said to be a type of banshee. She is usually invisible, but sometimes appears by water, in glens or on the sides of mountains to foretell death.

A similar spirit, the caointeach, appears outside the homes on the isle of Islay in which someone is about to die.

Pros and cons of dating Geoffie and Connie?

For Geoffie there aren’t really any pros or cons because he doesn’t date. He’s aromantic, but while he doesn’t date he does love to serve a strong woman in a D/s style relationship so if you’re cool with that then there’s all your pros at once lol.

Connie:

Pros: 

loves to laugh and make others laugh

very giving to her loved ones (it’s not like she needs the money, and even if she did she’d still be just as giving in death as she was in life)

very, very open-minded and understanding

spontaneous; lots of random trips and gifts and surprises

Cons: 

she’s dead (death knight)

ice cold and not a good snuggler

feels self conscious about being living-impaired and doesn’t like to touch living people

can sometimes be more than just a little obsessive over her love interests 

fights dirty when it comes to arguments

Scottish Ghosts: The Caoineag

The caoineag is another grim spirit who makes her presence felt when death is close, but she is less accessible to humans than the banshee. Like the banshee, she is heard to mourn and lament at the edge of a river or stream, but the caoineag is not visible to the human eye. She cannot be approached, and no one can talk to her. Those who hear the sound of her mourning are said to be doomed to face death or great sorrow.

It's a blast from the past, Caoineag?

01. Full name: Caoieneag Hammerkeen

02. Best friend: Faruza Deeptread

03. Sexuality: Necro-demisexual? She prefers other undead ever since she gained her not-quite-living condition.

04. Favorite color: Glassy blues.

05. Relationship status: Single

06. Ideal mate: An undead one with a sense of humor.

07. Turn-ons: She's not really sure anymore. She knows she desperately wants someone to laugh and be affectionate with, but she was rarely sexual when she was alive and hasn't been brave enough to test the waters since she died. There are also more important things to worry about, in her opinion.

08. Favorite food: When she was alive she loved apples. Green and yellow apples were wonderful, but big crisp red apples were her favorites.

09. Crushes: None, really, though she sometimes wonders if she's attracted to Faruza, and there was this one charming draenei death knight she met a year or so ago...

10. Favorite music: Anything with a fiddle, which she actually plays. She was surprised to find that she actually became technically better at playing after her death, but she feels her playing lacks a certain something now.

11. Biggest fear: She's grappling with her biggest fear right now, which is finding herself without purpose and direction. Up until a few weeks before her death, she had her life all planned out and everything was going as she thought it should, but then she had to go and die and be resurrected as a death knight and that threw a wrench in her plans. A lot of practice at keeping her shit together just enough to not have a breakdown has made her seem pretty confident and relaxed on the outside, but inside she's one mini disaster away from a meltdown, and she just desperately hopes she's far, far away from anyone living when or if that meltdown occurs. 'Just keep tha' chin up and march on ahead' has become her mantra, it and a smile has helped her keep her head many times.

12. Biggest fantasy: To be alive again.

13. Bad habits: Worrying. Obsessive cleanliness to the point of damaging her skin (though it's not like she can really feel the minor damage). Superstition to the point of it interfering with parts of her daily life.

14. Biggest regret: That whole dying thing has been a pretty steady source of regret for her, though she tries very hard to keep her head up and move forward.

15. Best kept secrets: That she's a ball of anxiety on the inside. Being trans has been an accidental secret, too. It's not like she tries to hide it, it just never really comes up and no one's seen her naked outside of a shared military tent for many, many years and Connie figures that unless there's going to be medical exams or touching that no one needs to be privy to what may or may not be under her or anyone else's armor.

16. Last thought: Pick the most colorful swear word you can imagine and that would likely be her last thought.

17. Worst romantic experience: Shortly after reuniting with what of her friends and family would still have her, Caoineag came onto Faruza thinking it would help her loneliness. This was not received well, and in no small part because Faruza was still grieving for Connie and also because she has a massive revulsion to undeath in any form.

18. Biggest insecurity: Being dead just about covers it.

19. Weapon of choice: Nothing sings like a hammer swinging through the air. It's even part of her name.

20. Role Model: Faruza was once sort of a role model for her, and really she still is. She's not aware the fact that Ru's distaste for her is winning out over her lingering love.
