Moira Darragh

Moira Darragh was the older sister of Adam Darragh, headman of Glenscar. She was the mother of Aidan, also called Aniri or Thunder, and Nadia, called Shadow.

Early Years
At the tender age of ten, she used her fledgling powers to shield Glenscar from the Great Frost during the Year of Slaughter, saving their crops.

The Midnight Well
Ten years after the Year of Slaughter, Moira met the king of the Warbirds, Martyn Yastruba, also known as Midnight, first king of the Traveler clan, and went off with him. The folk of Glenscar thought she had been stolen away, but in truth she loved him, and went willingly with Midnight. She became his wife, and received the call-name of Storm.

A Widow In Waiting
Thirty-five years after the events of her 'abduction', Moira Darragh has been deceased for an unspecified amount of time. She would be about fifty-five, were she still living. Though she is deceased, her story is central to the tale; the song of the Midnight Well, as it's told amongst both the Warbirds and the residents of Glenscar, is central to moving the events that associate her son Thunder with Grace Marlowe for the first time.

Appearance
She had sandy hair and sea-blue eyes.

Powers
She was a weather worker.

Other Names
Shadow referred to her, many years after her death, as "Mariya Yakivovna." It is uncertain if this is a name she took for herself, or if it is part of Shadow's "Countess Nadia" persona.
