Lady Ceara inghean Charthaigh

            We all know that Charthaigh means friend, but the great question here is how one might say the name inghean Charthaigh. Well, if you were here I’d say it for you, but you’re not, so you’ll have to ask Ceara the next time you have a chance to talk to her. The best way to create such an opportunity is to find an archery target and hide behind it. As soon as you see a lady walk up carrying a bow, you can bet it’s her. The best strategy at this point would be to stay hidden. Wait until just one second before she looses her arrow. Then leap in front of the target so the arrow will hit you. At this point, Ceara will feel bad enough about shooting you with an arrow that she will almost certainly take you to the hospital. In the car on the way there would be the perfect opportunity to inquire about the pronunciation of her name.

If you were not to the hospital by the time she finished pronouncing her name, in order to avoid thinking about the amount of pain you were in due to the arrow wound, you might inquire of Ceara how many of her it would take to change a light bulb. She would say “At least three… two to hold off the dragon and one to get the bulb in. Everyone knows dragons won't eat their damsels unless they can't see them.” As you can see, Ceara is also crammed packed with little bits of wisdom. Like this one, which can be translated into every-day terms very simply: carry a flashlight and passing dragons will not eat you.

The thing Ceara does most often every day is flip the channels on the TV. She feels that there is a distinct lack of productive programming on television, but she just can’t believe that with 81 channels to choose from, there could be nothing good on at all. So she feels the need to frequently check each channel, just to make sure she’s not missing something.
