✯ — keona sibéal ó faoláin. female. striker of the typhoon. blind. rusty spotted cat.  ref. bio.

The little striker approached slowly.  The bay was her domain.  Familiar.  Home.  Although her broken ribs still bothered her, they were healing well and quickly enough, and the child could hardly be deterred from the shore.  The other children were younger, yet older than her -- a strange concept.  The little fae had barely grown over the moons since she and her father had arrived, but she had not put much thought to it before, until she remembered she could remember Junji being pregnant.

Her pale sea-green hues flickered around, bouncing towards the direction of each voice.  Five.  New names and voices for each of them.  Now, she ought to tell them her own name.  She hung back for others, aware of Pip and Lucifer's presence.  The latter of whom did not seem interested in speaking.  The steady observer.  The tiny kitten took another step forward.

"Aloha," her soft voice offered the greeting quietly, but steady.  Curiousity rested in her sightless eyes, though her heart thrummed with anxiety.  In all her time with the Typhoon, it was rare to see Keona spend too much time with the other youngsters, aside from one young friend.  Other children frightened her more than adults.  More energetic, less sensitive. "I'm Keona Sibéal ó Faoláin.  Just Keona, or Sibi is fine."
