Alannah

Description
Species: Swanmay; formerly Human

Alias: Dame Alannah of Túr Loinnir

Abducted by the servants of Queen Aine in approximately 45CE in a changeling's exchange, Alannah was saved from oblivion in the aether by the púca Gleannín who begged the queen to let her keep the child - eventually raising the girl to be her squire. When some fifteen years later the Queen’s daughter (then still known as the mortal Addison) was kidnapped by Unseelie fae, Gleannín and Alannah were dispatched to retrieve the girl. Dame Gleannín perished in the attempt but Alannah succeeded in returning her changeling sister to her mortal life.

In gratitude for this service, Aine offered the girl a cloak of feathers - granting her full standing among the tuatha of Baile Dé Danann and naming her both a Dame of Caer Gwiddon and heir to Gleannín’s duties and privileges.
