Reed

Loughshinny Dublinn, codenamed Reed, is a complex and deeply introspective individual, burdened by her past, her identity, and the choices she must make. Once stationed at a Rhodes Island branch in southern Victoria, she withdrew for personal reasons, only to reestablish contact with Rhodes Island after aligning herself with Dublinn. As a leader within Dublinn, Reed's primary mission is to aid displaced Tarans, reflecting her deep commitment to her people.

Her identity as a Draco—an ancient bloodline tied to the Kingdom of Tara—continues to shape her path. Though she now wields control over her powerful Originium Arts, which accelerate organic tissue healing and inhibit pain, Reed's past left a trail of destruction in her wake. Once, her abilities could destroy life, but she has now mastered the ability to use her Arts therapeutically. This transformation came at great personal cost, as Reed endures burning pain from restraining her power.

Her time at Rhodes Island left a lasting mark on her, especially in the Medical Department. Despite the grueling and dangerous procedures to stabilize her, Reed questions why she was saved, her conscience haunted by the lives she took. Rhodes Island became a place where Reed began to explore the value of life and develop a sense of inner peace, even as she wrestled with her role as a warrior and healer.

Reed's struggles with her identity are also bound to her past relationship with her sister, Eblana, the leader of Dublinn. Although she fears her sister, Reed does not seek revenge. She recognizes that they share the same goal of improving the lives of the Tarans, even if their methods differ. Reed accepts that she will inevitably return to Eblana’s side, not because she wishes to, but because her sister’s influence over her is inescapable.

Despite her inner conflicts, Reed remains devoted to the Tarans and their survival. She leads with compassion and responsibility, seeking ways to address the high infection rates of Oripathy among her people, especially those affected by Dublinn’s relentless battles. Her commitment extends beyond herself; she no longer sees her fight as an individual journey but as part of a larger collective struggle for Taran dignity and rights.

In her latest correspondence with Rhodes Island, Reed reveals the extent of her transformation. No longer avoiding the realities of her responsibilities as a Draco, a leader, and a healer, she is ready to take on the mantle of leadership within Dublinn, even if it means stepping away from Rhodes Island’s primary mission of protecting the Oripathy-infected. Her letter to the Doctor reflects a quiet resolution—she will not oppose Rhodes Island but acknowledges the potential for conflict, asking for the Doctor’s approval to return when the time is right.
