Name: Sadhbh /pronounced Sive, rhymes with hive/ Malone
Age: 35
Appearance: At 5'6ish she is athletic and fit with the typical features of her mixed Irish/Swedish ancestry. Strong jaw, prominent cheekbones, fair complexion, deep blue eyes and jet black hair. But that's not what one would see if they were to look upon Malone right now. They would see her gaunt, tired face. Her cheeks sunken, her eyes lined with black smudges of fatigue, stress and something close to grim determination. She looks broken and battered, but her eyes burn with dark resolve.
Concept: Malone grew up as the single daughter to parents Orla Malone and father Mikael Nyqvist. Her parents divorced when Sadhbh was little. So Sadhbh grew up without a father, but since she was too small when her parents had divorced she didn't carry with her the usual trauma divorce generally caused children. She loved her mother. She was a hard worker and did the impossible to raise her girl so that she wouldn't want for nothing. She was an OR nurse and Sadhbh would spend a huge amount of time in the hospital day-care.
Despite her unusual upbringing Sadhbh grew up a happy and well-adjusted kid. She loved to read and go on amazing adventures within the pages of the books. She was a bright young girl who was raised to be good, caring and well mannered. Growing up in the hospital, though shielded by the staff of the day-care, she witnessed too many people in pain and in need of help and assistance. It made her want to help, like her mom was helping people.
That desire never really went away. And as any kid who grows up to be idealistic and with love for adventures, she decided she was gonna be a cop when she grew up. And at twenty-four with a freshly acquired Masters' in Criminal Sciences and Criminal Behavior and a solid experience in Krav Maga and Aikido she enrolled in FBI's Academy.
Sadhbh worked hard and studied just as hard in the Academy and distinguished herself. She finished among the top of her class and was offered a position in FBI's Behavioral Analysis Unit. Her youthful enthusiasm was soon replaced by harsh realism. Malone tried her best to not allow the work to make her too jaded. But dealing with the lowest of the low, the degenerates, the perverts, the monsters. It was no easy task. Still she was helping. The guilty were being put away and that was something at least.
Currently Malone is in a very dark place, but she is too well mannered to let her inner demons leak out, so people generally wouldn't notice much of her darker demeanor. She would mostly appear quiet and wounded.
Powers/skills: Experienced martial artist /Aikido and Krav Maga/. FBI Profiler. Malone has a better than average perception and would make connections between facts and leads faster than humanly possible. She always attributed this ability of hers to years of practice and experience. She is starting to wonder if that is truly it though.

Writing Sample:
At thirty-three Malone's whole world came crashing down! She was a part of a task force on the hunt for an especially vicious and cunning child predator. The bastard was elusive and careful and the team was left always a step behind him. Each new victim weighed heavily on the investigators. Sadhbh was having nightmares night after night. Her nerves were shot to hell as she kept poring over the files tirelessly, trying to penetrate the monster's mind and gleam some secret. Something! Anything that would allow them to catch up to him.
And as if that wasn't enough her mother suddenly fell ill. Cancer, the doctors said. Malignant. Inoperable. Terminal! Watching her mum wither away in a manner of months to finally breathe her last breath. It was too much! She was barely holding it together when the team finally hit a breakthrough. The monster'd made one huge mistake! He'd taunted her and her colleagues too much. Out of desperation and murderous determination to make him pay she and her fellow investigators had finally managed to put the puzzle together.
When they finally caught the perp, the slimy sleaze had started spewing venom at them. Describing in vivid detail what he'd done to the children and how it was all their fault for being stupid enough not to catch him sooner. Sadhbh snapped then. She saw the beast for what he truly was. Evil! And not the metaphoric kind. No! The supernatural kind. For surely his eyes had gleamed with something otherworldly. She charged the monster beating him to a bloody pulp, before her partner managed to pry her away from him.
Josh, her partner, dragged her away from the perp and the crowds gathered around to spectate.
"Are you out of your mind?!" He slammed her against the wall of a nearby alley.
Malone was breathing like a freight train. Her eyes were glazed with fury. She didn't see Josh at all. She only saw that gleam in the perp’s eyes and the images of all the children he'd raped and mutilated. She exploded! Dislodging Josh's arms from her shoulders she shoved him backwards.
"Lay off me, Josh! You don't know what he is!" She shoved again. "You didn't see his eyes. There was evil there. Pure evil!" She gripped the lapels of Josh's jacket. "You didn't see!!!" She hissed.
"Jesus, Malone, do you hear yourself?" He tried to pry her hands away from his jacket, but failed. Instead he just gripped her wrists. "Of course he's a monster and evil. We all know that, but..."
"But nothing!" She interrupted her partner. "You didn't see. I'm not crazy. And don't even try to tell me the case got the better of me. I'm the shrink here." She finally released him. "You didn't see." She muttered a final time.
Josh was quiet for a moment. All of them were strung high. That bloody bastard had evaded them for months. Five children! Five little, precious souls tortured beyond imagining and mutilated post mortem. Of course it was evil. But that was not how Malone meant it. Even if she said different, she sounded like a crazy person. Losing her mum to the cancer on top of it all didn't help. And if he didn't put her back on the ground she could lose her job.
"You need to be careful, partner." He placed a calming hand on her shoulder. "If this little stunt hasn't cost you your job already when the Bureau shrinks hear you speak like this, you surely will."
"I don't care!" Malone stated defiant, staring daggers at her partner, dislodging his arm off her shoulder. The Bureau wasn't equipped to catch monsters like this. Not in time anyway. She wouldn't allow another child to get hurt and die a brutal death like this ever again. Not if she could help it.
In the end the Bureau did let her go. Due to the extenuating circumstances, however, the Bureau offered her a mutual separation, instead of putting the incident on her permanent record and firing her. She took the leave. She was done anyway. The Bureau was powerless against what she'd gleamed in that monster's eyes. She needed to find someone better equipped. And if she couldn't she would go at it alone!
