Most people have a fight or flight reaction when they come face to face with a banshee and let’s be honest this is very understandable. Some people are made of sterner (Or less sane) stuff however and have managed to get to know the banshee on a personal level. Add alcohol to the mix and sometime when the moon is full and it is “The right time of the month” for the banshee a creature can come into the world that is truly unique, a half banshee. A perfect fusion of DNA from both her parents (Half banshees are always female) these thankfully rare beings tend to be shunned by society as being odd or making people uncomfortable for no reason they can put their finger on. It inevitable leaves half banshees with only three opens. A life of crime, Adventurer’s life, or hiding away in a monastic enclave where they are not judged on their ancestry. Inevitably however their inner banshee will surface and the half banshee will be forced to live with the consequences.
