Name: Maeve Scatha
Weapon: Shniomh Scath: a black, translucent, formfitting leotard with tights and sleeves, interlaid with gold trim, woven with a unique kind Dust to allow her to use it as a weapon.
Dust Effects: Due to the unique nature of Maeve's Dust, Shniomh Scath's abilities differ from the norm.
Wings of the Bat: Shniomh Scath gains wings, allowing Maeve to fly temporarily. +2 momentum. Once per battle.
Ruin: Maeve begins an onslaught with her weapon as it changes forms to strike at the enemy's weaknesses, leaving the enemy unable to defend properly, damaging them. +50% chance for a second attack, + 10% chance for a third attack.
Nosferatu: Shniomh Scath drains the Aura of the foe Maeve strikes, healing her for half of the damage she does with this attack.

Semblance: Witch's Glyph: Completely different from Weiss' glyphs, which control gravity and movement. Maeve can either place her glyphs under an enemy, in front of herself, or on a surface. Maeve uses several glyph patterns:
- Lamhach (red): A jet of fire ensues from the glyph, cauing the enemy to start burning (1 through max Semblance skill*10) for three rounds or forgo an action to dispel on a successful hit. +1 momentum.
- Aer (green):  A gust of cutting wind slices through anywhere nearby.  Enemies affected must make a save or be prevented from gaining momentum for two rounds. Three round cooldown.
- Scath (black): Snares what stands on top of it or near it in place. Limited to one target.  Prevents the use of all skills requiring motion, ie most weapon, dust and semblance skills, for two rounds.  +1 momentum.
- Toirneach (Yellow): A bolt of lightning strikes the foe, damaging them. They lose 1 momentum.

Appearance: Maeve wears Shniomh Scath everywhere, as well as adding her own clothing- a breastplate on top of her....fairly large chest, a black cloak behind and around her, and a gold circlet on her head. She has long black hair and deep, almost black, brown eyes, and a light, curvy frame. When she can, she wears a large, black hat with four protrusions from the brim, reminding one of a witch's hat.

Background: The Ua Scathach are a clan of nomadic Huntresses who tend towards the use of Dust-infused clothing as their weapons and the practice of Dust manipulation, as well as unconfirmed rumors of what seems to be 'true' magic- hexes, curses and the like. Maeve is the only daughter of the main branch of the Ua Scathach, and thus grew up learning the ways of her clan, including the infusing of Dust into oneself and clothing. She was sent to live with close relatives of the Ua Scathach, the Ua Duibhne, to attend a Huntress school for several years, before returning to her clan for two years and then heading to Bulwark.

Flaw: Sadism: Maeve can get carried away with causing pain to her opponents without regard to actual damage inflicted, causing her to gain less momentum when using Shniomh Scath to damage opponents.
