Scaith

It's hard to tell what Scaith's true appearance is. A shape-shifter down to his core, Scaith doesn't actually have a true form though he has developed a preferred appearance over the years. Recently, he had only been going between two forms mainly, and only choosing to take form smaller forms like that of a mouse when needed. In any form he takes, his eyes remain a glowing yellow.

One of the two main forms he opts for his a large black stallion, heavily built and standing at about 5'8ft from wither to hoof. At this form, he's well equipped for a rider: saddle, harness and everything. He doesn't really have any issue with appearing as animals but it seems less convenient to be a horse for most of the day.

The other is that of a human, appearing as a tall, attractive young man, with a lean build and stands at a height of 6'1 feet. His hair is black with an short uneven trim, right side appearing longer than the other, the longest only right below his ears and the longest past his jaw. His eyes remain yellow, with this lazy look on it. His features appear rather androgynous. A beauty mark appears right under the left corner of his lips. He can take the form of a woman if he wanted to, but prefers this male form more often. In any human form he takes, he carries with him certain animal features of the last one he took the form of. Since his preference has been a black stallion, he ends up with a pair of long ears pointed back like that of a horse and he also has a horse's tail.

His choice in clothing is actually more of an earthy shade but he chooses instead to wear more black as his show of respect to his mistress, Aisling. To match better, his clothing sense also seems to be as dated as her, but he keeps an air of modernity to make him stand out less.​

Scaith usually appears to be the type who is not easy to notice blending into the background at most instances. He rarely ever speaks — if anything he speaks with his eyes. He doesn't interact with a lot of people and so far his circle of acquaintances has been the cafe and bar's employees. For most people, he seems like the sort of character with no directive until his mistress speaks.

Appearances can only go so far. For those who've actually spoken to him, they can say he speaks proudly, sometimes to a point it seems like he thinks he's above others. He has a mischievous side to him, though more people would probably say antagonistic. Being a puca, he's a natural born trickster. Though most of his tricks have been lighthearted and harmless, in any other situation he'd go too far and endanger them. He isn't a very good person, in all honestly but his loyalty can go a long way.

While he doesn't look it, Scaith can be very dedicated towards something of his interest. Simply for example is his loyalty towards Aisling to whom he makes it a point to guard her whenever he's around. If there is anything to note about his personality is that he is extremely protective of Aisling, especially against potential threats​

As a púca, Scaith is capable of taking any animal shape he pleases, usually of a horse, cat, rabbit, or a dog. He can take a human form but he retains ears and a tail resembling that of what animal he last appeared as. Since he's often seen as a horse, it's almost always a horse's ears and tail.​

Along with his ability to change shape, as a púca, Scaith can bring good or bad fortune to those he chooses. Although, with his current, there isn't much to make use of this. Compared to most, the magnitude his luck can only give is very little. It can only affect an individual at a time, and that luck can only range from finding lost change, and relatively higher probability of an opportunity. The increase in probability may cause ripples but how far the ripple goes will no longer be under his control.​

A few decades back, Scaith had been a nameless púca. He lived around ancient stones that were placed along mountain paths, moving from stone to stone every so ofter. He lived his life playing tricks on visitors and passers-by without discrimination. Sometimes harmless, making them run around in circles, getting them lost and all, but other times endangering them, like luring them towards vicious forest animals. Sometimes he pretends to be a lost child, or an injured animal before he brings them to their demise. He didn't care; that was how he killed time. At random intervals, he does choose to help lost travelers instead, pointing them to the direction of a nearby village or to their actual destination.

He didn't really have anything going for him other than his usual amusements. He lived on his own, solitary with nothing else to go by. On a fateful encounter, a strange carriage passed his stone. He'd know fae when he saw it and he was sure of what he'd seen when this black carriage rode by soundlessly, pulled by headless black horses.

The curious puca followed the carriage and found her settling into the neighboring village. Curious, he would think of her. He observed her for a few days, noticing she seemed to be looking for something. Curious. Something had brought her here, something that had her abandon her duties, maybe? She didn't pay him any attention as she was much focused on other things but him. Curiouser and curiouser.

He revealed himself as she was about to leave the village a few weeks later. He asked her a lot of questions and the next thing he knew, he had come along with her to her next destination. She offered him to join her in her travels and as he agreed, she gave him his name "Scaith". It still remains a mystery to him how he'd been so drawn to her since that time and never really turned her down.​
