Baird's Entry - Glaistig (NSFW)
Added 2020-06-26 04:09:45 +0000 UTCGlaistig
Oft heard is the legend of the glaistig, the Green Lady, the embittered and beautiful blonde maiden, with a sulky visage and empowered aura. The spiteful spirit bears the name maighdean uaine because she dons a long, green robe to hide her mystical secret. What is that secret, you ask? Her hybrid form, of course. To the naked eye, it would seem this cursed creature is female. But when she reveals her legs, they are those of a satyr—ghastly and gnarled, with hair and cloven toes.
Who is this half-goat woman, with her sallow complexion and spellbinding eyes? Who is hiding behind that mane of flaxen hair? At once indifferent and invasive, the glaistig lives among us, charming you with a kind smile before luring you away to commit unspeakable acts. While known for her protective nature, it is one that comes at a cost, that of expected discreet and everlasting loyalty.
Once a mortal, she wronged the fae by testing their boundaries and going too far. Her punishment was that of immortality. Whilst the glaistig lives covertly, she is always around. If you listen closely to footsteps nearby, you may hear the hooves of sadness clicking as they pass.

I'll be honest. I thought that Alana was going to be revealed as a Glaistig at some point.

2020-06-27 18:00:53 +0000 UTCActually come to think of it, that picture kind of does look like her, a possibly younger version of her, without the glasses, I think. Kind of makes me wonder if there might be a possible path with Alanna. I bet it would be very interesting. I doubt you guys would spoil it or anything, but even if there is not, I bet there are ways to learn more about her...

2020-06-26 17:21:13 +0000 UTCI wonder if glaistigs share the goat's tendency to headbutt unsuspecting passersby...
