Nevermore } out of character

What starts as a goddess, turns into a queen, and ends up as a fairy?

That would be Madb!

(That layout may look nice but, holy wow, did it take forever to edit.)

Madb (pronounced like 'Maeve', which is the anglicized version) was an ancient goddess of war, sexuality, and wealth. By the time Christianity came into the land she was more of just a morally grey* warrior queen.

Her bio is loooong, I'm sorry, and has lots of Irish names thrown about, but I couldn't break it down anymore than it was. So Teal-Deer: She was the queen of an area of Ireland and took a LOT of lovers and husbands and made them her king, and she did some cool things (like refuse all the men who came courting until she found one who was 'without avarice, without jealousy, without fear') and some uncool things (like drown her 9-months pregnant sister who was knocked up with her ex-husband's child).

So, you know, she's a mixed bag.

(*Really grey. Like, you know that black t-shirt you've got that isn't really black anymore? That sort of grey.)
