Name: Kyyliegh Mitchell
Age: 18
Gender: female
Personality: Kyyliegh is quiet, but kind and a little sarcastic. She is afraid of the water, or actually what might be under it.
Appearance: Kyyliegh is short in stature and athletically built. Her hair reaches to the middle of her back, it is golden brown and wavy due to the ocean air. She narrow has crystal blue eyes that sometimes make her seem more severe than she actually is.
Distinguishing Characteristics: She has a crescent shaped scar on her left calf given to her by a hunting uisce.
Resident or Non-Resident: Resident, Kyyliegh lives near the Northern Beach with her two horses
Job: Delivery Girl (when stores need something delivered Kyyliegh takes care of it)
History: Deep green, suffocating blue, and deadly red. That is all Kyyliegh remembers from that day.
The Mitchells were the same as most of the families on Thisby, nothing extraordinary about them. the family consisted of Matthew Mitchell, his wife, Lesley, and their twins, daughter, Kyyliegh, and son, Cam. Matthew owned a small delivery business and Lesley was a decent veterinarian and kept a few broodmares of her own. Kyyliegh helped her mother train the horses and it was rare to see the girl on foot instead of on horse back. They said Kyyliegh had a way with the animals that was rare, they trusted her. Cam was the same as most young boys on Thisby, active and crazy about the Races. He and his sister would often race on the beach near their home and he'd dream he was riding the greatest cappail uisce the sea had ever spat out, but usually it was just one of his mother's colts. The twins were inseparable and people often said they shared the same heart. It was nearly unheard of to see them apart.
Then...
It was the end of summer, early September. The next day the twins would be returning to school. Matthew believed it was a perfect day to go for a boat ride. The water was still warm and the dangerous month was still a ways off so he thought it would be safe enough. The whole family set out after breakfast in the wooden sail boat Matthew's father had given him. They sailed for hours and were far from shore when they decided to drop anchor for lunch. Lesley had packed ham sandwiches. The water rocked the boat softly but otherwise was very still. Kyyliegh and Cam were discussing what they wanted to do for their 11th birthday that was coming up. Cam declared that he wanted to try and catch a uisce so that he could start training it to be able to ride in the races when they turned 15. Suddenly an eerie song rose up from the water. The family grew still and Matthew prayed that the iron lining of the boat would hold true. Then they attacked, two or three hungry cappail uisce circled the boat and worked to overturn it. Kyyliegh and Cam hugged close to their parents.They thought about trying to hoist the anchor, but they knew by the time the pulled it up it would be too late. Within moments the boat was sinking. Cam and Kyyliegh were crying and Matthew was yelling at them and their mother that once they hit the water they had to swim for all they were worth towards the shore, and not to fight the waves. When they were in the water the horses were upon them nearly instantly. Cam and Kyyliegh grasped hands and swam hard. Kyyliegh was faster and could feel she was dragging Cam. She glanced back, the water was red and she couldn't see her parents; she wanted to cry, but she didn't have time because the horses were going to come for her and her brother. They kept swimming until Kyyliegh could feel Cam's grip on her hand slipping. He was being pulled under the water and away from her. She turned to dive after him, but was cut off by a black uisce. It saw her and struck out after her. She turned and sped towards the surface. She spluttered out tears and salt water when she reached the open air. All she wanted to do was curl up in ball and sob, or even let the capall have her, what was left for her now? But, she was scared and kept swimming. The uisce snaked behind her and clamped it's jaws down on her calf. She screamed in pain and fear. She panicked and kicked out with her other leg hitting the horse square in the eye. She didn't stop kicking after that; she swam as long as she could using her adrenaline as fuel. She could feel that she was bleeding, but she didn't stop. When she got closer to shore a fishing boat spotted her exhausted thrashing and helped her. She had lost a lot of blood, but her leg wasn't beyond repair. Her heart however...
Her great aunt raised her until she was 16 and then passed away. Kyyliegh had been forced to sell almost all of her mother's horses in order to sustain herself, but she had not had the heart to sell her mother's favorite, and also the horse she had known the longest, Mab.
Kyyliegh hated the ocean now, but couldn't bear to leave the island. She swore she would never have anything to do with the uisce, until one night when she was 15, that all changed.
Other: Kyyliegh owns two horses, Mab, a thoroughbred mare, and Liam a uisce stallion.

Name: Mab
Age: 20
Stallion or Mare: Mare
Capall Uisce or Island Horse: island horse
Rider:Kyyliegh
Appearance and Color: Mab is a chestnut pony that is about 14 hands tall. She is stocky and has a big hay belly.
Distinguishing Characteristics: both of her back forelegs are white
Personality: Mab is a lazy pony that likes nothing better than to sleep all day chewing on grass. She is stubborn, but well trained. She is old and doesn't move as fast as she once did. Watch out though, if she decides she doesn't like someone she will take a bite out of them just as fast as any cappail.
Other:Kyyliegh learned to ride on Mab and this was her mothers favorite horse.
Name:Liam
Age: 4
Stallion or Mare: Stallion
Capall Uisce or Island Horse: Capall Uisce
Rider: Kyyliegh
Appearance and Color: Liam is tall in every meaning of the word. Almost 17 hands. His coat is a shimmery night blue. He is sleek and built to run.
Distinguishing Characteristics: Liam is loyal to only one person, Kyyliegh. He has a small star in the middle of his forehead.
Personality: Liam will not let anyone on his back except for Kyyliegh. He is not outright viscious, but he will be violent if he feels threatened. He is playful at times, but also protective. He is much like Cam.
Other: Kyyliegh caught Liam unintentionally while attempting to catch some fish for her dinner one night. He was only a foal, almost a year old, and was tangled in Kyyliegh's net. She dragged it in and planned on leaving the uisce to die, but saw how scared the baby looked and instead used her shirt to muzzle him and led him home. Liam is the only uisce Kyyliegh tolerates; she fears most others. But she still doesn't quite trust him. Her scar still itches when she rides him, but she also feels as if when he found her the half of her heart that died with Cam, was reborn in the uisce.
