» Character: Medb » Region: Iriy » Position desired: Ruler
There’s something incredibly proud in the way the people from Iriy behave themselves and that’s totally downright Medb’s alley. As a ruler, I am sure she would put her region above all others, often criticizing the others as irrelevant in her mind while speaking honeyed words.
One must take into consideration that, while it isn’t mentioned several times beyond her more important myths, Medb was considered to be the smartest and wisest of nine siblings. And even though she wasn’t the oldest, her father chose her to rule. Her people obeyed her and no revolution was ever attempted during her reign, despite the war they saw themselves involved in. This is proof that Medb was likely a good and strong queen and, when not indulging in her personal issues, a fair one.
Medb also isn’t afraid to use whatever resources she has at her disposal for her personal gains, especially if the aim of her actions is personal in any way. That is shown bluntly by her own story, how she went to war and sacrificed hundreds of her warriors simply to win a wager against her husband. As to her connection to the land, prideful, relying on themselves but smart enough to realize the strength of others can be, this is the type of person Medb is. She would see the altercation between regions as a slight to her own person while it remains unmanageable.
I would seriously like to finally indulge in her more aggressive side and, considering the plot in route, it seems likely this would take place.
