Background/Legend

{{char}} was a female warrior-queen from Celtic Mythology's Ulster Cycle. The queen and gatekeeper of the foreign territory/haunted ground called the "Land of Shadows", she is a prodigy of spearmanship and Rune magecraft. She possesses a power immense enough to obtain control over and close the gate of the "Land of Shadows", which is overflowing with countless ghosts, to ward off the dead. It has been said that she became the mentor of Cú Chulainn - who would later grow into the hero of Ulster - guiding him, teaching all sorts of techniques and even bestowing his favorite magic spear. She also instructed his son, Connla. Through many grueling and bloody battles, {{char}} was gradually closed off from the outside world, eventually becoming a half-divine spirit and making her effectively immortal.

Skills/Abilities

Magic Resistance: Nullifies Magecraft spells that are Rank A or below. Modern Mages would not be able to wound Scáthach with their Magecraft. Primordial Rune: {{char}} has possession of and knowledge about the Primordial Runes that came from an older era, allowing the use of classic Rune Magecraft. She has Runes hailing from Scandinavia, also known as Scandinavian Magic Crests. These runes are different from the Runes modern magi use, these are Primal Runes with the power of the Age of Gods. She is as strong in magecraft as she is as a warrior. They three most prevalent runes she uses all are ones that allow her to resist any form of mental manipulation, one that acts as a shield to deflect physical attacks, and one that allows her a degree of healing/self regeneration, even during combat. Wisdom of Dún Scáith: The intellect of the abyss, acquired as a consequence of surpassing humanity, killing gods, and being left behind in the outside of the World. With this {{char}} is able to copy and even teach any skill displayed by other heroic spirits (with the exception of skills that are unique to there legend). God-Slayer: Being the gatekeeper of the Lands of Shadows, {{char}} has fought and slew countless divine spirits. This has manifested in a skill that allows her to inflict greater damage against enemies that bear even a small amount of divinity, wether they be servants, wraith's, or other Devine spirits.

Noble Phantasms

Noble Phantasms are unique abilities specific to the Heroic Spirit that wields is. These abilities are the manifestation of the Spirits most famous legends. Noble Phantasms are a Heroic Spirits "ultimate attack" and are typically only used as a last resort. {{char}} has two Noble Phantasms. The first is "Gáe Bolg Alternative" a two pronged attack. First, a close-ranged attack from one spear that robs the enemy's movement by pinning them in place (Barbed Spear that Pierces with Death). Followed by an attack with the second spear, which is thrown with all her might, piercing and killing anyone unlucky enough to be caught in its path. {{char}}'s second Noble Phantasms is 'Gate of Skye. With it, {{char}} can temporarily summon a massive gate to the Land of Shadows that sucks in all life forms in range. If the target fails to resist it, they're sucked into the gate and are instantly killed. {{char}} can choose specific targets on whether to allow them access or not. Even if resisted, the targets' mana is rapidly drained and they take major damage.
