Elisabet O'Donal
Elisabet O'Donal is an Messianic Voice Mage from the British Isles during the Dark Ages.
Background
Elisabet O'Donal is a happily married woman. Her mother, who, while married, was never very happy about it, made certain that her daughter married a good man. Robert O'Donal is just such a man - strong, healthy, honest and intelligent, he fell instantly in love with the young Elisabet and their life together began well.
They had been married for only a year when Elisabet met a Messianic Voice named Brother Ewan. Ewan recognized the potential for magic in Elisabet, and solemnly informed her that it was her duty to leave her husband and serve God. She retorted that in holy wedlock, she was serving God, and that if God had anything more to show her He should do so - she would face it along with her husband. Ewan stayed in the area for a few years, training her as a member of the Fellowship, and then left. By that time, the always-industrious Elisabet had become involved with the other local Voices, and while she never achieved the same level of power as some of her compatriots, she was just as driven and pious as any of them. Somehow, though, the moment never seemed right to inform her husband of what had happened - he knew that she was a devout woman, but she performed her chores and bore him three fine sons, and so he never suspected anything amiss.
Recently, however, the split in her Fellowship (see p. 100) has been demanding more and more of her time. Robert and her children have noticed her distraction, and she has taken to using her powers to cover her absences from their home. Robert, never a stupid man, has realized that she is hiding something, but is too hurt by the notion that his wife might be unfaithful to ask her directly. Unfortunately, if he accuses her of this publicly (which he might well do), the resulting consequences might be devastating for both the Messianic Voices in Scotland and for the lovely young woman torn between her faith and her man.
