Yeh! Ensorcell... do it every day! Ensorcell traffic lights, ants to make a different trail (not into the house),ice cream not to melt down to the ellbow before it has been eaten, the frog to freeze so it's picture can be taken. The one you adore(or more). Anything ,name it.
A true sorcier ensorcells every day.
Of course it is just a chique word for bewitch, but it rolls better.
I'm sure it's more effecticve.Try!

Cute, Brannie! (Or would you prefer not to be called that? I just have a habit of developing nicknames; can't expect everyone to like it...)

For once, there was a Word I already knew. Heck yeah, ensorcell the world...

Thanks Jackie, you can call me any as long as it isn't Bunny. That's cute too but I wasn't born at the bunnycoast.
Take the r out of my name and change the capital S into a small s and you will see that I already belonged to the shadow side.
A little ensorcelling is right up my alley.

Okay, I'll tell about the name. Yes, you pronounce shay, like you say.
Right, banshee is written with two e's and pronounced ee. That would have to change too in order to be correct. Slip of the mind. (Anyway,yes,Branshea is meant to be the masked word banshee)
BranShea is two names put together. Bran from Brandon (not from all bran cereal etc.)and Shea.
Both characters come from a fantasybook I've read.I only love two fantasy writers: Tolkien (beautiful, comforting) and George R.R Martin (clever, witty and entertaining).Bran is an innocent boy of about 8 or 9 years old, crippled, a lord's son and a skinchanger. (direwolf)
Shea is a campfollower,a whore, beautiful, witty and clever. (until she becomes too clever and gets herself killed).
Why it had to be Banshee/BranShea is too long a story. But it fits in with the ensorcell-world.

Cool! Thank you! I love hearing stories behind peoples' names.
Anybody else got any they want to share?
