Growing up in such a large family, Ceilidh either found herself at the centre of attention, or completely over looked, depending on the situation. | ||
The Riverview family is seen as peculiar by Kerelian standards. Both looked upon as blessed and cursed at the same time. Kerelian woman are normally only pregnant once during their lives, each carrying a set of three babies. The exception to this is the Riverview family, in which Brielle Rae has been pregnant three times, which has never happened on the home world. Her first pregnancy was after the first two years of being pregnant, where she gave birth to 1 son and 2 daughters. 10 years later while her husband and her were off world conducting research for their perspective teaching professions, upon her return home, Brielle Rae soon realized she was again pregnant. Because of the rareness of such event, her pregnancy was monitored, studied, and recorded, being noted that she gave birth to 2 sons and 1 daughter. As the family grew, traditional customs were followed, and each of their children spent 2 months per year with other family members learning about different arts. When her children were respectively 16 and 6 years old, Brielle Rae once again found out she was pregnant. Her third pregnancy was almost too much for her body to handle, and only one of the three children survived all the way to birth, Ceilidh. It is believed that the Heart of Kerelia took pity on Ceilidh, being the only one of her three to be born, and blessed her with the extraordinary gift of Empathic abilities. Not only is her birth order unique of all her people, there are times when Ceilidh finds this both a blessing and a curse, as she really is unique, and that's not always a blessing. | |||
At a very young age (most likely age 3)Ceilidh has been able to 'feel' emotions from objects she touches, as if she were able to experience what others who have touched them before. This was first brought to her attention when she was exploring a set of caves with her sisters Arenelle and Henna. The had come across an old lantern and Ceilidh had managed to grab it before her sisters could get a good look at it. Once in her hands, feels of joy and sadness washed over her like water crashes over rocks. Surprised by these feelings, she dropped the lantern, but not before Henna caught it. Arenelle saw her sisters tears and asked what was wrong. When Ceilidh explained, she was reprimanded by her sisters for telling such stories, as no one could experience the feelings of the person who had dropped the lantern. As she continued to grow up, these experiences would come more and more often, sometimes enhancing her own emotional experiences, or in conflict with her own emotions. She was confronted by her parents about her emotional mood swings when she was 12 years old, after an incident in a local cave when her brothers and her and found an old row boat. It was then that she explained to them that she had been experiencing such a wide range of emotions from her earliest memories. After hearing such stories, both her parents decided to take Ceilidh for testing, not sure of what to make of their daughters' experiences. Soon then came to understand that Ceilidh was an empath, but not like the other very few found on the planet, but a much higher rating. Fearing either ridicule or exclusion of their daughter, they agreed to keep her abilities quiet, but did allow her to be trained in how to deal with her ability. | At a very young age (most likely age 3)Ceilidh has been able to 'feel' emotions from objects she touches, as if she were able to experience what others who have touched them before.
