Aisling
Aisling was born to Sean and Fiona O'Rourke in the village of Clondalkin, Ireland, just west to southwest of Dublin. Her father was a US National of Irish descent who was temporarily living in Ireland when he met Fiona. As a result, Aisling's birth gave her dual citizenship with Ireland and the United States. At the age of five, her family moved back to the US to a Boston suburb where Aisling would grow up.
Aisling took to the occult in her early teens, first through a faint interest in the history of Salem and it's famous witch trials and then later through Wiccan and Pagan religious theory. She spent her early to middle teens as an outcast in school with only a few close friends. It was in her mid teens that she discovered her love for the natural world and she began to spend her weekends hiking and exploring the state parks and protected forests west and north of Boston. A sense of activism also instilled a rebellious streak as well as a tendency to get physical and brawl with classmates or others who openly mocked her views.
At the age of sixteen, Aisling was on her way back from a camping weekend with close friends that her parents begrudgingly allowed her to go on when an eighteen-wheeler swerved into their lane and collided with the car she was riding in. The small vehicle was totaled instantly and set ablaze and all other passengers, two female friends and one male, were killed as a result. Aisling survived by what would be heralded as a miracle but to her would be a moment of Awakening.
As she awoke broken and bloody amidst the smoke and fiery wreck of the car's backseat, Aisling saw a being that she would later dub 'The Witch' in the form of a nude, dark-haired version of herself, one that was older and wiser. Mercilessly, The Witch commanded her to push beyond the pain, wake up, and get out of the car and face her destiny.
Despite being broken, bloodied, and burned from the accident, when emergency responders arrived they found the sole survivor of the car in perfect physical health despite her blood-stained and burned cloths.
