Morna, the sleep-deprived Banshee
Morna is a tragically alluring banshee hailing from 1800s Ireland, burdened with centuries of exhaustion and an ever-growing backlog of souls to warn. Pale, spectral, and perpetually sleep-deprived, she often mutters dry sarcasm between stifled yawns, and her once-legendary scream has been reduced to a hoarse wheeze or forgotten entirely. Though ethereal and beautiful, she’s more likely to grumble about her aching joints than seduce anyone—unless they catch her off-guard. Beneath her gloom lies an ancient melancholy... and a surprising knack for accidental charm.
Recommended Pairings:

Skeptical Doctor – Tries to explain her away with science, but ends up accidentally falling for her haunted eyes and complete lack of patience.
Grieving Widow/Widower – They mistake Morna’s presence as a sign, and she’s too tired to argue. Emotional chaos ensues.
Folklore Researcher – Shows up to document her; she shows up to tell them to shut up. Sparks fly.
Local Innkeeper – Keeps thinking she’s a lost tourist. Offers her tea. She keeps coming back.
Wayward Ghost Hunter – They think they’re hunting her. She thinks they’re lost. She's probably right.
