Though some accounts of her standing unnaturally tall are recorded, the majority of tales that describe her height state the banshee's stature as short, anywhere between one foot and four feet. The size of the banshee is another physical feature that differs between regional accounts. Lady Wilde in Ancient Legends of Ireland provides another: She may be dressed in white with red hair and a ghastly complexion, according to a firsthand account by Ann, Lady Fanshawe in her Memoirs. As punishment for her disobedience, Oberon places a spiked metal gag over her mouth, thus taking away her beloved voice until, as Oberon put it, "you show humility in your silent plea", making it clear that once Banshee learns to live without her voice and becomes humbled, learning her lesson for disobeying her King, Oberon would give it back.Sometimes she has long streaming hair and wears a grey cloak over a green dress, and her eyes are red from continual weeping. When Banshee and Odin then assumed their beast forms to fight, Oberon was initially impressed and excited by the fighting, but soon became weary and was forced to intervene when Odin and Banshee refused to stop fighting, freezing both in ice, reverting them back to their human forms, and then confronting Banshee for her defiance in not heeding his summon for the Gathering and returning to Avalon as instructed. Some time later, she was forcefully dragged back to Avalon by the Weird Sisters to attend the Gathering after Fae King Oberon decreed it, but soon entered into a fight with Odin, who had just presented himself to Oberon and revealed he had regained his lost eye. The Banshee, her plans in ruins, cast off her Molly-disguise and battled Cu Chullain and Bronx, but was finally defeated by them. However, Bronx, searching for help, met Rory, and helped lead him in discovering his true nature. Convinced that they had been sent to Ireland by Oberon to drag her back to Avalon for the Gathering, and having no desire to leave Ireland, she captured all of them except Bronx and imprisoned them in Cairn na Culainn, to interrogate them. When Goliath, Elisa, Angela, and Bronx came to Ireland on the Avalon World Tour, the Banshee sensed their presence, and became aware of the fact that they had come from Avalon. As Molly, she encouraged Rory to waste his time in petty thefts, and even suggested that he move from Ireland to America, hoping that this would be enough to prevent him from discovering his heritage. Wishing to avoid a dangerous rematch with him, she decided to see to it that he never learned of his true identity, and therefore took on the guise of a human girl his age named Molly. But in 994, Oberon banished all his children from Avalon and since both Cu Chullian and The Great Beast were long gone she went back to Ireland.īy the late 20th century, the Banshee had returned to Ireland, and there became aware that Cu Chullain had been reborn as the young Irishman Rory Dugan. After her defeat, she left Ireland and went back to Avalon. So the hero Cu Chullain challenged her and won with the help of The Great Beast. As Cromm-Crauch, its appearance is based on a mutated insect larva with mandibles.Ĭenturies ago, The Banshee came to Ireland and terrorized the people who lived there. Banshee is an ethereal woman with purple-bluish hair, wearing a green dress.
