Theodosia shook her head at the other’s request, “I cannot help you, nor do I wish to.” She shot them a look which told them their effort to change her mind would be futile.
“You cannot tell me where the nearest Inn is?” Niamh attempted to keep the scoff out of her voice, though the same could not be said for the scowl that currently covered her face. It wasn’t as if she had asked a difficult question and as far as she was aware she hadn’t done anything to offend her.
“I’m sorry--” Niamh glanced down at the parchement unsure of what she was supposed to be looking at. “Are you sure this is meant for me? I-- I don’t know what this is.” Having been self taught, she would never admit that when it came to reading her knowledge was only that of which she appeared familiar with. Yes, she could read words but that didn’t always mean she had a clear understanding of what things meant.

HISTORY
TW: Abandoment, Physical abuse, Violence
Niamh was born alongside her fraternal twin in Carlingford, Ireland, to parents that were very active in the Irish Resistance. It was never kept a secret about which side her parents and older brother stood on and how they felt, meaning it was only natural that her feelings followed in the same direction. Niamh was only ten years old when she lost both her parents and then became the responsibility of her older brother, who was barely a man himself at the age of Eighteen and so keen to follow his parent's footsteps. The trio was able to slip the British forces and escape into the hills, and that is where they stayed for the next five years.
One night though, this clear future dissolves into mist and confusion when Niamh wakes from her sleep to the sound of screams and roaring fire. Her brother was gone and her twin nowhere to be found, yet the unfamiliar voices drew nearer to where she lay hidden. In a world entirely new for her, Niamh felt lost and alone.
Having no one this time meant that she had to learn how to adapt to survive, using her height and other aspects of both her personality and physical appearance, Niamh soon knew how to lighten people from their possessions and several other belongings. Though one day she made the mistake of trying to pickpocket the wrong person, which is how she came to meet Ciaran. Thinking she'd been successful and rather smug at her takings, Niamh was surprised when she turned to see a shadow looming in the doorway of her little hideout. Instead of being angry like she had thought he would be, he instead smirked and began asking questions. The two made an unlikely companionship, and she begged him to teach her everything he knew, wanting to be like him and to have the chance of being able to defend herself without relying on others. Over the next five years, Niamh became Ciaran's shadow, so of course, when she found he would be leaving again with his crew, she begged him to let her go and that she was old enough now, but his answer remained the same, stating that it wasn't safe. Finally, seeing no other alternative, she snuck onto the Jewel as a stowaway and set sail for Nassau.
Feisty, clever, and sharp-tongued, Niamh knows how to stand up for herself and doesn't remain quiet at the sight of injustice, either her own or the ones she cares about. Because of her loud nature, Niamh tends to attract trouble, and in spite of her foul tongue and tendency to curse, she possesses a kind nature and is always ready to help those in need. Niamh still fears that everyone she comes across will be the same as the people from her past and eventually get rid of her, so she figures hurt them before they hurt her. Niamh is extremely independent; it was hard not to be, considering she's been so much time on her own. She finds it difficult to ask others for help or accept help when offered, even when she needs it.
