Sorry for being away for a while, Céibhfhionn’s personality is done(ish) and her backstory will be up either later today or early tomorrow. I have an idea of what I want and most of it is done, I’m just undecided on how I want to explain the albino elf-fae thing. So, thoughts, I guess?

Option 1 is that elf and fae genetics are inhospitable to each other but not infertile, there being no elf-fae halfling is, technically, a lie. Elf x Fae couples that do conceive almost like any other pairing, however, they often lose the baby early on. Even for the pregnancies that do make it to term the children are born with numerous defects and are otherwise sickly and infirm and die shortly after birth. Céibhfhionn was an exception, the albinism was one of her birth defects, I guess, and the reason she isn’t dead or bedridden is that she cut a deal with the curse.

Or there’s option 2, an island of albinos/elf-fae halflings that happen to have a dominant albino phenotype somewhere far out in the ocean. This island itself is a thing of myths and sailor's tales, shrouded in mist and fog, it can only be seen, and therefore theoretically reached, for a short period every seven years. There being no reported elf-fae halflings is, technically, true, sort of. There are no reported elf-fae halflings because great misfortune befalls any ship that sails too close to the island and many a fleet has disappeared, seemingly into thin air. But they definitely exist because every seven years they somehow leave their island to come fuck everyone else’s shit up. So, elf-fae halflings are still rare but not like first in a thousand years rare, similar thing with albinism.

You don’t think her personality is,,, a little too much, if you know what I mean?

The whole reason I ask all this in the first place is that things have changed quite a bit as I’ve written them and what I originally planned doesn't quite fit anymore. Option 1 is the original explanation for everything (almost, I was tossing up between potentially giving Céibhfhionn a kid or making elf-fae sterile), it’s solid and I kinda prefer it, where as option 2 gradually came about through the writes and rewrites of her backstory and personality and fits better with what everything’s sort of evolved into, but I don’t know if it’s a little much, y’know.

I could just combine the two together I suppose, temper 1 just enough so it fits nicely with 2, like maybe 1 is what happens, yes, but the island of 2 is, I dunno, magic or something and, though their children are still born messed up and sick, let’s the elf-fae that live there have a low enough infant mortality rate to maintain some functioning society. I don’t know how well that’d go though, also 2 changes like a lot, even if it is kinda like this thing of myth. But yeah, either way I probably should wait for Grimm to chime in.
