Name(s) - The Luidaeg, aka Antigone of Albany, also sometimes 'Cousin Annie' or 'the sea witch' or even 'the Lady of the Lake'
Age - She's at least 1500 years old, and possibly older. To put it in scale, this universe's Merlin was her great-grandson, and inherited his magic from her.
Physical Description - The Luidaeg is a shapeshifter. She's got two favored forms for interacting with people to not freak them out. One is a human woman/girl around 19-20, with curly dark hair (usually tied back) and skin light enough to see freckles and acne scars. She adopts eyes that shift from blue to driftglass green and slightly pointed ears, making her look comfortably of fae desent but not enough to be of consequence. Her clothing is normally things like flannel and denim and sweats and sundresses (usually in the colors of the sea), but she's capable of dressing up if she needs to.
What appears to be closer to her natural form has black, weedy hair that can cut like razors, mother-of-pearl skin with hints of scales and eyes as dark as the ocean, but still changeable to a lighter blue or green. Basically think 'the type of mythological being who will drown ships for the lulz' and you get in the right zip code.
Other - The Luidaeg is the Firstborn daughter of Oberon and Maeve; if you can sense magic or power, either you are not strong enough to get past her own disguise, or she is exactly as powerful as 'first of the Firstborn' indicates.
As I mentioned, she's a shapeshifter and tends to slip back into what appears to be her normal form when pissed off -- if her eyes start to resemble the ocean, be scared. If her skin fades to mother-of-pearl, be very scared. Her magic smells of the sea or marsh and tends to be much more complex than her descendents. Iron hurts her, but isn't enough on its own to kill her -- she'll still get pretty damn pissed if you even try to touch her with it.
The Luidaeg can probably move like the most graceful thing that graced the world, but she mimics humanity, including the way we don't move like that.
