Neala ingen Ui Ragnaill

Persona

Lady Neala ingen Ui Ragnaill is likely a female descendant of the clan of Ragnall ua Ímair, a Viking leader who ruled Northumbria and the Isle of Man in the early 10th century. After being expelled from Dublin in 902, he had a number of successful Viking raids and battles in Ireland over the following years, and returned to Waterford to install himself as King in 917. He went on to Scotland a year later and then conquered York and became king there.

Neala, Gaelic for champion, is the last child born to Niall. Having only daughters before her he gave her his name and raised her like a son. Owning a bar & brothel in Trinovantia Nova, with a tidy little side business of assisting with problems, Neala likes to travel the countryside in the good weather gaming, brawling and drinking her way through the Kingdom. While she prefers a stealthier method of dealing with problems she is adept with thrown weapons and enjoys a little archery from time to time.

Neala currently resides in the Forest City - the heart of The Shire of Trinovantia Nova.
