Hello there! My name is Saoirse Byrne (sea-r-sha burn) but you can call me cookie. I've gotten accustomed to being called that by my brothers and friends. Let me tell you a bit about myself .
I am from Ireland, but I'm sure my hair and thick accent give that away. I was born and raised in Dingle Ireland. This city is known for its beaches and rugged terrain, so I do a lot of wandering in my free time. I love to explore the port and see what the ships bring in.
My hobbies and daily activities include a lot of swimming, exploring, reading, gardening and taking care of my family's pets. Silkie the ragdoll cat and Asosi the Irish trotter are the family pets, but more specifically, Silkie belongs to my mom and Asosi belongs to my brother Seamus. I enjoy reading poetry and adventurous books while I sit near the port. I also enjoy baking. Besides baking cookies, I tend to bake a lot of chocolate biscuit cakes, a family favorite.
I love green and blue. They are both lovely colors. these colors remind me of life and freedom. I have always been a free spirit in the eyes of those who know me best.
I am a vegan. Now I know what you are going to ask. No, I don't miss bacon. Yes, there are other foods I eat to get protein. Yes, I like tofu, and no I don't eat eggs or cheese. Yes, I enjoy being vegan.
I carry a brown sack tied by a blue ribbon that is filled with a dozen cookies everywhere I go. (That's where I get the nick name 'cookie') I have done this ever since a special day long ago. I was crying at the docks because Seamus had been a jerk to me. As I was crying, my granny Roisin saw me and sat with me. She opened this basket of fresh cookies and gave me one. "what a lovely afternoon for daydreaming" she said to me. My granny was always a wee bit strange to be honest, but I love her more than anything in the world. I strive to be as Kind and wise as she is.
As for my other family, well, I am the youngest of five. Ruari Is my father, Ruari Duleman Byrne. He works in a cafe near the docks in dingle. He married My mother, Sybil Lyre McMoya. She worked as an auror for a while, but that was until she got pregnant with my eldest brother. My father decided it would be too dangerous for her to continue. My eldest brother Seamus was born just after my mother retired from being an auror. A year after, my other older brother was born, and his name is Sean. Then came Searlas and Seafra. Searlas was born a year and a day before Seafra. By then my mom and dad had their hands full. I was a bit of a surprise baby. Three years after Seafra was born, My mom thought she was about done, but then she started to gain a bit of belly fat. Before long they realized they were having me. When they found out I a a girl, they were overjoyed. As I grew, My brothers and I loved to get into trouble whenever we could. Speaking of trouble, if I remember the story correctly, My first show of magic was nothing but trouble. As I remember it, I was four, and my brother Sean was in the living room with me. He had been mad at me for one reason or another and threw a plastic toy at me. I got so infuriated that the toy flew right back at him and hit him square in the nose without me ever lifting a finger. When my brother explained why he had a bloody nose, the rest of my brothers laughed. My mom and dad were a mix of overjoyed and confused at the discovery of my magic abilities.
As f'er me, I'm still not sure what I want to be, but I know that an education at Hogwarts gives me lots of options. For nor, I am sure of two things. One, My motto is "Live in love, compose with courage, and walk in wisdom." Two, This was my granny's motto, and I will live by this motto as she does to this day
