CÈILIDH MARY MACBRIDE
BASIC INFORMATION
Age and Birthday: 38; 8th April 1986
Year and House or Profession: Curse Rehabilitator. A job that Lamp made up, but which makes sense, xe will swear: you could consider this a sort of social worker, but specialized to respond to and limit the effects of curses on beings, beasts, locations, and objects. They aren't necessarily part of the ministry, but the ministry employs them as contractors regularly. Ceilidh specializes in the rehabilitation of cursed objects, and is a dab hand with beasts too.
Canon: No
Special Abilities: spiteful optimism...?
FAMILY & HISTORY
Place of Birth: Toronto, Canada
Notable Relatives: she has uniquely complicated relationships with each of her parents, but has a friendlier connection with her older sister.
Character History: Ceilidh's life has been marked by the deep-seated will to find purpose. At age 6, her parents moved the family across the Atlantic, from Toronto to Glasgow, where she lived during school breaks when she eventually attended Hogwarts as a Ravenclaw. In her teen years, she found purpose in a pursuit of justice in the castle: the Frogman was a masked vigilante in the corridors who became her muse as she took on her own superhero mantle: that of Captain Magic. Her identity behind the mask was only known to the Frogman himself, Kermit Palantine. Distraught by the trials of her double life, at the end of her seventh year, Ceilidh faked the death of Captain Magic. Her body was never found, on account of Ceilidh still using it. As an adult, Ceilidh jumped around a number of jobs in the ministry, which in fact enabled her to assist her old friend Kermit to escape the country when he was on the hook for crimes in his own position within the ministry. Her repeated attempts to move on from her vigilante and even straight-up criminal past stand to mixed success: Kermit keeps coming back, and as her longest friend, he has always found aid and companionship in her. When you see her eye twitch, that's her recognizing loyalty to those she cares for as a character flaw.
