It may be late, but it's here! This update brings you the definitive version of a character I've shown you before.

Bradfield O'Loughain's parentage is as unusual as you will find. Brad's father is reputed botanist Olivier O'Loughain, a regular (though exceptional) human being- but his mother is anything but.

Thousands of years ago, Psalakantha was a Naiad who resided in the Aegean island of Ikaria. The god Dionysos sought her assistance when he was wooing Ariadne on the island of Naxos. However when the god spurned her own advances she tried to drive Ariadne from him and as punishment was transformed into a flowering tree, and was placed under a deep slumber.

When the gods abandoned the world, Dionysus' withdrawal caused his curse upon the tree to wane. Psalakantha finally awoke when Wonder returned to the world in the sixties. She found she was no longer bound solely to being an immobile tree, but that she adopt a form similar to the one she had when a Nymph- she was essentially a hybrid of Dryad and Naiad, equally at home exerting her influence among the vegetable kingdom as she was in the water.

She was content to remain in underpopulated islands, not wishing to commingle with mortals again... her plans were ruined when she met a traveling Oliver O'Loughain. As these stories tend to go, the two fell in love and before too much time had passed, Bradfield came into the world as a result of their union.

Brad had inherited his mother's double nature (as well as her green skin) and he proved to be a quick and bright boy- it suffices to say that he had nothing remotely resembling a normal childhood, the family often involved in strange and unusual mysteries, yet always managing to pull through. Needless to say, the family's propensity for stumbling upon the unbelievable could be extremely frustrating.

As Bradfield entered adolescence, however, he found himself yearning for stability and an ordinary life- for friends who did not spend most of their time fighting the strange or unusual. He finally got his opportunity when he was admitted to the University in Green Sparrows- a chance to establish his own life and his own rules. Bradfield has a plan, and he's going to stick to it.

What's that thing they say about plans and first encounters?
