I probably wasn't clear about which two of you I meant being sisters: skysidhe and Lady Sidhe. I had to go look up 'sidhe' which just confused me more. Wikipedia had this entry:

Quote:
"Banshee or bean sídhe, simply means "woman of the Sídhe", however the term has come to specifically indicate the supernatural women of Ireland who announce an oncoming death by their wailing and keening."
It also said...

Quote:
Sídhe (IPA [ʃiː], shee, modern Irish: ; Scottish Gaelic: sìth) is a Gaelic word for peace, possibly used as a safely euphemistic reference to (pre-orthographic reform) Scottish Gaelic siodhe, referring first to earthen mounds that were thought to be home to a supernatural race related to the fey and elves of other traditions, and later to these inhabitants themselves.
...so one is "Lady Peace" and the other is "sky peace." Is that right?
