Aine Birchlight
the Stormseed Fairy
Named for the lightning that splits the earth and the burst of green that follows — Aine from the old word for radiance, Birchlight from the peeling silver bark that survives the fire.
Power
Stormseed — you can call a single bolt of lightning that cracks the ground open, planting a seed of possibility that grows into what someone most needs but cannot ask for; each use costs you one clear memory of a face you loved.

They say you are the reason orchards bloom after lightning fires, and that your laugh sounds like rain on hot stone. They do not know you are listening. When the baker's daughter lost her voice, you touched a burned branch to her throat and the next morning she sang. The branch grew roots overnight.
