E is for Éirinn go Brách

Known only by her nom de guerre, Éirinn (as she is familiarly known by her comrades) is as old as the century. She came of age in the Easter Rising and fought through the Revolution, taking out Black and Tan armoured cars singlehandedly. If there's one thing Éirinn hates more than the British, though, it's Fascists. She went to Spain with the Connolly Column and fought in the International Brigades. When the Republicans lost she hightailed it north and wound up in Poland, where she fights alongside the Resistance today.

Éirinn go Brách's origins are unknown*. She claims to be an avatar of the spirit of Irish liberty. She can become effectively invisible in any natural surroundings and call up an unnatural fog to shield her allies from view. Her most visually impressive power, however, is her battle rage: She grows to half again her normal size, with brutal, distorted features, tears her clothes off, and tears small armoured vehicles to pieces. While berzerk, she is invulnerable to smallarms fire and has prodigious strength, but afterwards she is weak as a kitten and requires lengthy rest and feeding to recuperate.


*If the setting supports it, she is actually a daughter of An Dagda and a human woman, born to make Ireland an independent nation. She is fully aware of this, but it isn't something that would go over well with her predominantly Catholic comrades in arms
