Religion: Her own special kind of world view
Personality: She is quite eccentric, and doesn’t really seem understand (or care about) social protocol or personal space. (However, she doesn’t touch people all that often, as she herself has some issues about physical contact.) This especially counts when it comes to talking about death, which, since she constantly hears the death music of whoever she is with, is a very central topic with her. She is very kind and sweet, and never criticises anyone for anything, and this, along with her child-like demeanour, means that everyone is very fond of her.
Backstory: Aisling was exchanged for an Irish baby girl to serve a very specific purpose. She had a happy childhood, although most people thought she was a bit strange, so she usually played by herself or with her older sister Aoife. When she was ten, she befriended a boy who lived a few doors down from her, Alec. The two grew close as the marriage of Alec’s parents deteriorated and finally ended. When she was fourteen, Aisling sensed death coming from Alec’s house, and when she ran over she found him locked a bloody fight with his stepfather, Adam. She ended the fight, convincing Alec that it wasn’t worth it and making him leave with her. After this, Alec left Ireland to go live with his father in England, and Aisling was alone with her sister once more. A few years later, sixteen year-old Aisling sensed death in her own house, and she tried to warn her family that there would be a fire. They brushed her off, and in desperation, she called Alec. He, having grown to trust her death sense, called the fire brigade, who arrived just in time to save Aisling’s parents out of their burning house. After this, Mr. and Mrs. Baines became convinced that Aisling had set the fire and that she needed to be forcibly admitted to psychiatric care. After an evaluation she was admitted for 21 days, but was then released because they saw no reason to hold her. Refusing to have anything more to do with her parents, she went to live with her sister until she turned eighteen, at which point she followed Alec to England. She lived with Alec and his father for a short while before they both moved into Selene Manor.
