History
Date of Birth: July 7th, 1964
Home: Ballyboyfey, County Donegal, Northern Ireland, United Kingdom
Family: Martin and Orla Buchanan (parents)
Chrysalis: Observed Injustice (only child born into a Republican household in Northern Ireland, father a city council member, mom a stay-at-home caretaker but unaware of their Scathach bloodline; during the Troubles, Loyalists of the Orange Order attacked their home, murdering her mother while triggering her Chrysalis; the flare of her Glamour and Scathach legacy drove the thugs out), 1979
Mentor: Jonah Egan
The Test: Trial by Influence (Mists may have claimed her assailants but the Scathach came and claimed her before her father returned home, and through that same fey curse, he forget his daughter ever existed and mourned only for her mother; she underwent a special emergency Fior-Righ that involved an accelerated Scathach training regimen to bring the teen up to par and earn her Name and rank)
Comrades: Ariela Samhradh, Cillian Ultan, Siofra Vaughan, Dawn Samhradh, Midir Griobh
Key Event #1: War (while an aspirant of her House, she was deployed in County Kerry in a Scathach war against a Thallain horde attempting to awaken a Formorian that overlaid some of the nastier skirmishes between the RA and British army; she personally defeated several Bogles)
Key Event #2: Treachery (when suspicious Gwydion began nosing around her House's local affairs, Caera demonstrated her cunning by innocently sending them off on wild goose chases to the north through planted clues)
Key Event #3: Treachery (Caera displayed her full versatility when later she dared the wrath of Fianna werewolves about Killarney Park, brokering an alliance with them to join the Scathach in confronting that stirring Formorian beneath the island)
Key Event #4: Awe & Wonder (for her diplomatic acumen, she received a secret invitation to join the Cat's Cradle cabal, resulting in her transfer to Dublin, spending years among the Seelie courts brokering new pacts and alliances between noble houses and Sidhe with commoners while pretending to be a gentle and harmless Fiona lady)
Key Event #5: Treachery (her greatest diplomatic victory may have been when she brokered a truce between Hibernia's Seelie and Unseelie fae to join forces in countering the rising rash of Autumn People in urban Ireland; this resulted in some part of the Irish Revival of the 1990s)
Key Event #6: Awe & Wonder (for years, all these successes led to her rising in Scathach ranks, until at last she began to oversee the recruitment and training of young recruits, including Ariela Samhradh, the only trainee she had feelings for after all these years)
Key Event #7: Personal Tragedy (when Nils Samhradh fell to the doom of the Dauntain, it broke Ariela's heart and shattered her honor, and Caera felt for her lover; she swore to help the Samhradh sisters either vanquish or redeem their brother; in so doing, she even helped recruit Ariela into the Cat's Cradle during this long quest to find and bring the mad fae to justice)
Transition: Shift in Purpose (for many years, she continued to oversee the Samhradhs' work in their family quest, often foregoing her own advancement and even threatening her current standing to help the woman she loved; at last, they narrowed down his location and carefully moved in on the Black Magician cabal in California...)
