Siobhan

Siobhan (pronounced "Shi-vaun") is a vampire and leader of the Irish Coven. The other two members of her coven are her mate, Liam, and a female named Maggie. She is friends with Carlisle Cullen and comes to help his family testify against the Volturi in Breaking Dawn. She and her coven are not vegetarians, but her coven is shown to be very civilized.

History
Siobhan was the only daughter of a blacksmith and his wife. Siobhan was created by Sancar, who wanted to create a vampire harem, and he searched for unusual women for his collection. He traveled throughout all of Europe with his human servants, looking for exceptional women. Siobhan's beauty and strength were heard of by Sancar in his travels. He sought her out and was excited to find a woman like none that he had seen before. He abducted her in the middle of the night, raped her, bit her, and then took her back to his home while she experienced the painful transformation.

He had difficulties in dealing with his newborn vampire. Siobhan was incredibly strong, even for a newborn, and also had no love for Sancar. He tried to keep her distracted with ample amount of blood, but before her first year as a newborn was up, Siobhan killed Sancar.

Physical description
Siobhan is described as having a huge body that moves in smooth undulations and is both beautiful and mesmerizing to watch. She had a strikingly attractive face. Large violet-blue eyes, surrounded by incredibly long lashes, were her dominant feature.

Outcome manipulation
"Good job, Siobhan." "Ah, the power of wishful thinking."

- Siobhan's response to Carlisle's compliment

Siobhan did not think she has a gift, though Carlisle believed that she can influence events by willing her desired outcome to play-out in reality, but it requires her full concentration. Right before the Volturi arrives to terminate the Cullens, she tries to wish for a good outcome of the situation, which works out exactly the way she wants, although the vampire Irina is sacrificed in the process. That could be because she was only wishing that the witnesses survived and Irina started on the Volturi side. Afterwards, she finally begins to believe that she does have the gift.

Etymology
"Siobhan" is the Irish form of Joan, derived from the Anglo-Norman Jehanne. In myths, this name was used by one of the followers of Jesus. This may indicate Siobhan's ability to influence reality.
