Description

• Her hair was red, with just a hint of gold, her eyes green, her skin like milk tinted with rose petals. She barely reached Roarke’s shoulder.
• She was neat, in her blue pants and white shirt, and white canvas shoes. Such little feet. She had tiny gold hoops in her ears, and a scent of vanilla. Her voice held a strong west county accent.
• She was slim and lovely. Delicate white skin and fine features, golden red hair and sea green eyes.

Personality

• Sinead said her family - Roarke’s family - was “stubborn, hotheaded, and we’ll work till we drop.”
• Sinead told Eve, “If I’d known where that bastard had my sister’s child, my blood and bone, my heart that he’d murdered? That he was treating that child worse than you’d treat a stray dog, trying to train him to be what he himself was? I swear before God, I’d have moved heaven and earth to get to that boy, to get him away, to get him safe. He was mine, wasn’t he? He was, is, a part of me.”

History

• Sinead told Roarke that her brother, Ned, went to Dublin to try to find him, after Siobhan disappeared, but was beaten half to death and left in an alley. He had a family of his own, they couldn’t find Roarke, and had to stop looking for him.

Interesting Facts

• The family were farmers.
• After Roarke discovered Siobhan was his mother, he went to Clare, Ireland to meet Sinead.
  • She thought he was his father’s son; an operator, a dangerous and heartless man. She thought he might be dangerous, but not heartless.
  • She said she kept tabs on Roarke over the years.
• They planted a cherry tree for Siobhan, that stood tall and many-branched, behind Sinead’s home.
• Sinead spoke privately to Eve and told her Roarke’s love for Eve was one of the loveliest things she’s ever seen. Eve told Sinead that Roarke already loved her - Sinead teared up. Sinead gave Roarke a thin chain with a rectangle of silver that Siobhan used to wear with her name in Ogham script on it.
• From Shadows in Death: Their youngest son was in Dublin, at college, like grad school or whatever. Older son, wife, three kids (and one on the way) were in the house to the west (of the main house, which was where Sinead and Robbie lived), the daughter, daughter’s husband, and their two kids lived in the house to the north. Her parents and a couple of brothers are scattered in the area.
