Domain: Australian Fae
Members: Doug McLeod, Mirrim Edmunson, Ellie Shannon, Gazes-Ever-Outwards
Notes: A recently formed pack, they are yet to agree 100% on a name. However, their aim is clear - all four believe that the best way to reconnect to the Australian spirits is to contact local fae and ally with them. From there, they can ask the fae to intercede...

Notes: The Hunters Hunted are a pack based-at but rarely present at the Sept. The 'deal' with illegal whalers and sealers, the oil rings in Bass Straight, and generally with the Southern Ocean. They have clashed on numerous occasions with the Shadowlords of Tasmania and are rumoured to be helping the Blackfuries regain their foothold there. It is also rumoured than one of their boats of a giant fetish...

Garou

Dougal McCafferty, Homid Fianna Galliard, rank 4

Australian born and bred, but of Scots ancestry, Dougal was brought up in a Kinfolk family who held their traditions, both of Scotland, and of the Fianna, dearly. Dougal has red hair and green eyes, and is covered with freckles. He is renowned (some would say infamous) for playing the pipes. Physically, he is short and stocky, and his lupus form reflects this.

Eric Dansfeld, Homid Fianna Theurge, rank 3

Possibly with Get of Fenris blood in his ancestry, Eric is huge and impressively muscled, standing 6'9'' even when wearing the homid. Blond haired and blue-eyed, and normally not picked to be a Theurge, he prefers to deal with spirits of strength, but can be surprisingly gentle, especially with his own three children.

Storm-from-the-Sea, Lupus Fianna Galliard, rank 3

Storm-from-the-Sea is a delicate-looking red-brown wolf. She glories in extreme weather and has been known to howl out greetings, and deal with, the spirits of storms. Local legend has tell of a crazed red-headed teenager who walks naked along the cliffs during a storm.

Kelara ni'Rhona, Homid Fianna Ahroun, rank 4

Kelara seems to be the only Garou at the whole Sept who resists the light-hearted nature of the caern. In fact, most people find her abrasive and hard to comprehend. She is serious, sober-minded and severe, as well as extremely practical. In return, she finds most of the Sept far to frivolous.

Brigid, Metis Fianna Ragabash, rank 3

Brigid grew up in a Kinfolk family after being abandoned by her mother. Oddly, she shifted to homid form shortly after she was born, and her metis deformity was not visible. She grew up as part of her Kinfolk family, as it was known she was garou, but not that she was not homid. It was only after her First Change that it became clear that she was not - a full branching set of antlers and hooves instead of claws make it blindingly obvious. In the time since, she has fought hard to be recognised as just as worthy as any other Garou (her taste of "full" membership before her First Change hardened her against accepting secondary status) and her family remain her strongest supporters. As Keeper of the Land, Brigid takes exceptional care of the grounds, leading the replanting efforts.
