Bio

The Biography

The only daughter and youngest child of Ruairí MacEibhir (

sonofgranite) and his deceased wife Máire NiStandún MacEibhir, Cait looks around thirty but is in fact rather older. Like her father and three older brothers, she's a púca, an Irish faerie who can turn into a horse. She transforms rarely these days, having lived in New York City for the past five years, but other aspects of her fey heritage come in handy now and again. In addition to working as an editor for an independent publisher, Caitlín writes under the pen name Kate Stanton, Stanton being the English version of her mother's maiden name. Her best-known work to date is Lost Among the Rubble, a novel that depicted how three families weathered "The Troubles" in Northern Ireland from the late sixties through the eighties. When she's not working, she enjoys entertaining and being entertained by her circle of friends, visiting with family, and really any activity that gives her a chance to people-watch and/or have a good conversation. Her keen insight and cheerfully wicked sense of humor make her a touch disconcerting at times, but her sympathetic good nature helps her make fast friends.

The Muse

Cait is more striking than classically beautiful, with a strongly-structured face and body softened by a mass of dark hair, sparkling dark eyes, and lips that tend to curve up at the corners as if she's about to smile. Her eyes are actually the same as her father's and brothers', with deep brown irises that extend well beyond her pupils to leave only dots of white at each corner. But she often uses a small glamour (illusion spell) to make them look normal.

Her voice is a warm, mellow alto. Her Irish accent is still definitely present, though lighter than her father's.

The Disclaimer

This journal is for writing and roleplaying purposes only. I do not in any way claim to be a fiftysomething Irish horse fey, and neither Cait nor I make any claims to be Minnie Driver, whose image we've borrowed just a tiny bit. Though Cait herself is an original character, much of her background is drawn from the novel The Grey Horse, by R.A. MacAvoy. No profit is being made and no disrespect nor harm is intended. Her brothers can be found at

And Caitlín MacEibhir is pronounced Kaht-leen MacEever, by the by. ;)

The mun would also like to thank the ever-awesome

hinkydoodle for using their mad graphicz skillz on Cait's behalf. *\o/*
