Character Name: Sinead Connell
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Birthdate: May 15th, 1400
City / Region: Mynyth Sheabagh, Vulcanis
House [ Birth, Marriage if applicable ]: House Connell by birth, House Vaughn by marriage.
Played by: Amy Adams
Appearance:
Sinead was born with a smile on her face which never seemed to ever leave it. She has a beautiful wide smile and laugh lines to accentuate it. Her hair is a red as many in her family, a colour which she is proud of, though it does turn more golden blonde in the summer months. She is not particularly tall at all, as it seems to go with the Connell women being either tall or short, but has a beautiful figure and piercing pale blue eyes. It is only since becoming a mother that she has given up wearing much for make up and rarely wears much jewellery. While she wants to look the same serene,sophisticated beauty as her mother, she also has adopted more of the Vaughn practicality.
Personality: Sinead is a gentle, caring woman, ready to live and laugh hard, ready to enjoy. She doesn't hold negativity to heart and mind, finding it clutters the soul too much, believing life is too short to be as such. She thus strives to practice what she preaches and hardly finds herself saying anything bad about a person. She is also a devil's advocate, a devout woman, and perhaps not the most personally ambitious person. She is not willing to step on someone else to get to her goals, she is willing to find success through others, and she doesn't have a loud bark. That isn't to say that Sinead isn't capable of being strict and firm, especially with her children, but it is clear she defers to the head of the family, her husband.
Specific Skills or Abilities:
Character History: Sinead is the first born of Daniel Connell and (). Never did the order of her birth seem to matter to her, and she never did she begrudge not being in succession for the head of the Connell Clan. Though she was a loud baby, and temper-tantrum-prone as a toddler, she thankfully grew out of that phase with no lacking of thanks to her father's strict authority. She was close to her siblings and parents, cousins and aunts and uncles alike, even perhaps a bit reluctant to go off on her own to explore and make her own friends.
As her family grew, she showed more and more maternal signs. She helped her mother with caring for the youngest siblings, tried to do her best to be a good girl so not to be a pest or a worry. Sinead never seemed to need such level of attention or validation. Still very much a child of her own, she was pleased to have play partners to run around in the fields, to read stories with, a sister to learn household things with, brothers to tease.
Just as she came into her teenage years, Sinead had started to find interest in becoming a school teacher, one in the city to help teach the bairns of other men and women so to share what education she had learned and to foster her community. She found she liked to hear kids laugh and, as she did at home, she couldn't help but to care for them. She had a friend who taught in the city, and for a year before she met her future husband, assisted in the school on a daily basis.
It was in a Spring gathering in Llwyn Newyth that she most by accident came to dancing with Meical Vaughn of Clan Vaughn, son to the present Laird of same clan. She was taken by his exotic look, his strength, and his charm, and much enjoyed their meeting. For a few weeks, they exchanged letters, though it seemed that soon enough arrangements would be made to signal their betrothal. Theirs was not quite a marriage of love upon the immediate wedding, but soon would turn their passion into such. Though scared of child-birth, and of being a mother to two then-six-year-olds, such too was overcome when Sinead's first born son was laid in her arms just over a year later.
The next decade would land Sinead in a wildly different life, but rather much the same herself as though she conquered her environment and managed to infect it with her enthousiasm and cheer. She has adapted some of the practicality of the island clan, even adopted many of their beliefs, their traditions and their culture. Sinead vowed to give an honest try to immersing herself into her new family, for the sake of children and husband alike, so that presently a stranger would then be hard-pressed to say she was an outsider.
While maintaining a connection with Clan Connell and a loyalty and kindness to them as her birth family, she is known to be a loyal fan and supporter of her husband and his decisions, rarely involving herself in his affairs or those of his best men. She tries to make herself an ally even if she doesn't always agree with or understand some of the personalities of the island folks.
Writing Sample:
"Yes, of course, you've always been the Princess of the family," he explained, and hoped the comparison would come across as flattering. He meant it in the sense that girls sometimes fantasizes, about being pretty and regal and chosen by all the fairest of princes in the realm. He intended no insult to Siobhan, but of the four of them, Regan took the cake. A thought dawned on Liam after a short pause. "Has someone idiotic thought to say otherwise?" His eyes narrowed. If anyone had thought it a good idea to tell his sister she was anything short of wonderful, there would be two brothers to pay the person a visit.
