Description:
At 5'9" in height and weighing little more than 110lbs, Erin's slender and graceful build gives her a sylph-like almost ethereal air. In fact, her Sidhe blood is more than evident in her appearance. Her eyes glow a deep sapphire blue with flashes of purple like molten jewels and her delicately tanned skin gleams with an inner radiance like polished pearls in candle-light. Silken chestnut waves cascade over her shoulders, broken intermittently by the occasional flash of golden highlights.
As a medical intern, Erin usually wears hospital issue scrubs and rubber soled pumps. Outside of work she has a relaxed, boho style and loves to get dressed up, preferring clothes that flatter her figure.
Attitude ~
Erin is an assertive and confident young woman – traits that have held her in good stead through her training to become a surgeon. Her single-minded nature can often be mistaken for arrogance, and her independent streak tends to make her distrustful of other people’s motives.
Lifestyle ~
As a medical intern, Erin works exceptionally hard. She spends most of her hours at Cedars-Sinai Hospital where she works under the tutelage of eminent cardiothoracic surgeon Leonard Mayer.
She rents a small, yet attractive apartment in a nice part of the city within walking distance of Elysian Park, where she goes jogging every morning. Erin also makes use of the hospital gym, keeping herself in good physical condition. Despite this strict exercise regime, however, Erin likes to live life to the full. She smokes – though only on occasion, drinks, and loves to go clubbing. Yet, however hard Erin likes to party, she always makes sure that her private life doesn’t intrude upon her professional responsibility.
Background:
After several days in intensive care, Erin, who had proved to be a sweet-tempered and agreeable little child, was eventually adopted by a wealthy yet infertile Manhattan couple - Alexander and Kathryn (Kitty) Lloyd. While her new parents afforded her every luxury and privilege that their money could buy, they were never what you would call a 'close-knit' family. Erin spent most of her childhood being looked after by a string of nannies and attending various private schools while her parents attended to the demands of their businesses.
Like any neglected teen, Erin acted out in an effort to gain the attention of her parents; she was often in trouble with the police for petty misdemeanours such as vandalism and theft. But far from showing their daughter the love she craved, Alexander and Kathryn were deeply ashamed and sought only to further distance themselves from their wayward progeny.
For the first time in her life, Erin felt as though a huge burden had been lifted. From that day onward, she stopped trying to gain the attention of her parents and began to live her life for herself. She began to work hard at school and, although not a gifted student, she was so determined to succeed that she worked twice as hard as anyone else in her class, so much so that after two long years, won herself a partial scholarship to study general medicine at SUNY Upstate.
It wasn’t until Erin assisted on her first real surgical procedure that she realised she had an exceptional gift. As she made her first incision, it was as though she could actually see inside the patient’s body. Amongst the muscle and flesh she could see the darkness that was the malignant tumour, and also what the scans and tests had not shown – several smaller tumours. At the end of the surgery, Erin knew with complete certainty that the cancer had all been successfully removed and that the patient would survive.
Erin’s subsequent successes in the field of general surgery led to her being offered a two-year full scholarship at Cedars-Sinai in Los Angeles, under the tutelage of eminent cardiothoracic surgeon Leonard Meyer.
Powers & Abilities:
Healing ~
Erin’s touch itself is healing, feeding illness and injury with the natural energies that flow through her Sidhe aura. She is also rarely ill herself, and recovers from injury much more quickly than regular humans. However, because Erin is not aware of this ability, she is only able to tap into it at its most basic level. Thus she has a natural instinct when it comes to how to cure an illness, able to ‘see’ the injury at a sixth sense level and use that to guide her actions.
Seduction ~
Erin’s Sidhe lineage makes her particularly attractive to humans. At a physical level she shares certain features that are characteristic of the Fae such as luminous complexion and eyes that almost seem to glow. When aroused, Erin’s appearance seems to project even more, making her appear ever more alluring. At its most extreme, this power would allow Erin to force others to do her bidding, even against their own will. However, again because she has no knowledge of this ability, it only ever manifests itself at a purely basic level – such as making Erin appear more persuasive than your average human. She is also never short of admirers.
