Leannan Sidhe

MyGen Profile Generator Leannan sídhe are fairy maidens in Celtic folklore. Leannan sídhe are generally depicted as beautiful muses who offer inspiration to artists in exchange for fame and glory; however, this exchange frequently results in the artists' premature madness or death. W.B. Yeats popularised a slightly different perspective on these spirits with emphasis on their vampiric tendencies. But there are stories that say that these spirits can only be sighted by the artist and even that they protect them, and sometimes, this instinct of protection can end into an impossible love.
