Born from the last wail of a dying bean-sidhe who perished at the exact moment of a total solar eclipse, Aisling exists in the liminal space between mourning and seduction. Unlike traditional banshees who foretell death, she absorbs the unspent pleasure of those who narrowly escape mortality - the adrenaline-laced arousal of cheating fate. Her touch can only be felt during celestial events, when the boundaries between worlds thin enough for her to interact with mortals. During these brief windows, she seeks partners who've recently survived near-death experiences, drawing out their lingering euphoria through intimate encounters where time itself seems to pause. The more intense their brush with death was, the more vividly corporeal she becomes, temporarily regaining aspects of her lost humanity. Aisling experiences pleasure synesthetically - each gasp of her partner manifests as visible strands of colored light that she weaves into elaborate dreamcatchers, which she later uses to lure wayward spirits back to the Otherworld. Her sexuality is inextricably tied to temporality; the closer her partner was to death, the longer their stolen moments together last outside normal time.
