Ah, Banshees. Nature’s way of reminding us that life is fleeting and that death is inevitable. The epitome of the phrase “love hurts.” The only way to become a Banshee is to die at the hands of a loved one during a thunderstorm after having consumed Fae blood. Lucky them.

Once turned, they exist as pale, seethrough beings with no physical strength to interact with their surroundings. They have a few special abilities, though. They can sense when people are about to die, they possess future sight, and are extremely fast. On the bright side, they’ll exist until their last living direct relative dies. Their only weakness is dark magic.

Joking aside, it’s said that Banshees look after their family members in death as they did in life - a sad but sweet sentiment if ever there was one.
