Matriarch |
The Hag who oversees our Clan, and who always has as long as I can remember. She's fairly typical of what you can expect of most of her kind. Powerful, mysterious, dangerous, and full of spite towards any and all rival witches. Regardless, she has done a good job of leading our Clan, and she understands the Gloam and the Night Mistress well enough to be afforded a little bit of pettiness. |
Brock |
My father, and the current Head of our Clan. A harsh man, with harsh lessons and firm expectations, who allows little room for error, but I don't think I'd call him unfair. I've seldom earned his ire or disappointment, and he's taught me many valuable lessons, not least of all to stand strong and make no excuses. I know he has many doubts about this "experiment" of mine, but to allow me to venture forth and explore the world so freely is still a great trust I will never betray. I can only hope that the lessons of the greater world will shape me into a leader he can be proud to pass the mantle to when the time comes, and that my people can believe in.

Blysse |
If my father is the iron fist, then my mother is the down within a pillow. I don't think I've ever seen my mother truly upset or angry. Not with my brother and I, at least. She has a certain patience my father never has, and a willingness to entertain some of my stranger ideas. I'm not sure of the person I would be without her, but I know I would not be where I am now, and may have never stepped outside the confines of our small world otherwise. A rare sentiment from me, perhaps, but if I had to choose anything I miss most from home, it would be my brother and her. |

My brother, or I suppose half-brother, to be exact. Still, I would argue we are more akin to twins. He's only a few years older than I, but I've seldom met a wiser person even after leaving home. I wonder if that is part of his gift as the Clan's Seer, or if that is simply who he would be no matter the circumstance. An interesting thought I should like to discuss with him one of these times. I try not to rely too heavily on his gifts in order to make my decisions, but I do sometimes find myself gravitating towards hope for answers I can't possibly know otherwise, and wonder if I am more brave or more a fool for choosing to forgo such guidance about what the future holds. Perhaps an older, wiser me will better know the answer.

Hartvig |
Spyttebrann's uncle, and my own by marriage. I'd say his wisdom is trumped only by my brother's, and he's been an invaluable mentor to me throughout my life, as well as a good advisor to my father. With any luck, he'll still be around to do the same for me when my time to lead comes. |
Spyttebrann |
Whoever thought to call her a spitfire knew what they were talking about. My wife, though you'd probably never guess two people such as ourselves would be together. You'd think even less of our compatibility if you'd seen us as children. Still, its not a marriage I regret. Our contradictions get us by in different circumstances, and for all her wild brashness, she is as clever as one could expect from our Clan. Its no small wonder why we were paired together.

"Gyr" Jaktfalk |
Its difficult to say exactly what we are. Friends? Brothers? Gyr has mentored me through most of my life in the arts of combat, though he certainly never made it easy for me. He and Spy. Still, I have no complaints. He's a valuable member of our Clan, and between his good sense and sharp, near-feral instincts, he'll make an excellent Beak one day. |
