Ronan's been sitting here chattering away so I had to create a
post for him. :-D Side note, ages and ages ago I almost created
a Sirus Black account with a long haired Jonathan as the FC.
Never did get around to it but I know when I picture a young
Sirius I often think of him. No idea why.

Full Name: Ronan Daithí Devine
DOB: May 1
Star sign: Taurus sun II Libra Moon II Leo Rising
Parents: Lydia Keene-Devine & Conor Devine
Siblings : Ian James Devine ( younger by a year )
Occupation: He's had many odd jobs over the course of his life.
The first being a rare book buyer for a collector out of new
york. The second as an Elvis tribute artist ( please kindly
don't call him an impersonator ) and the third as the owner of a
small second hand music shop that allows him to be the front man
for a band that plays a hodge podge of music at various
festivals and the occasional job at the Cross Keys pub on the
weekend.
Herb: Passionflower
Myers Brigg: INFP
Favorite song (s) - He doesn't really have a favorite
artist/song. Only songs that remind him of his favorite people.
Van Morrison's Moondance and Tupelo Honey will always remind him
of his Colly. Let It Be is the song his mother used as a lullaby
when he was a child.
Louis Armstrong's What a Wonderful World and Morrison's These
Are The Days will always remind of his son Lorcan. Here Comes
The Sun will always remind him of his wife's best friend Helene.
Hound Dog is an instant thought of his brother Ian and Queen's
We Will Rock You is Helene's husband Joey to a tee in Ronan's
mind.
Favorite Scent: A forest after a rainstorm and the scent of the
ocean.
Pet: The Devine family has one dog, a mutt found behind the
Cross Keys late one night after closing. They dubbed him Magner
after Ronan's favorite cider.
Embarrassing moment:
- The night he met Colleen he was so tongue tied he could barely
form a coherent sentence. Back then next to no one had heard of
Devine Intervention unless they were familiar with the festival
circuit so when she mentioned that she had hoped that they would
play as well as they had had when she'd seen them the last time
he was floored. He finally found his voice and felt so self
consciously creepy that Colleen just waved it off and gave him
her number anyway along with a comped set of meals for the band
and half price drinks.
Tidbits:
- The song This Time was written with Colleen in mind after she
and Ronan moved in together.
- At one time before Lorcan was born Ronan's brother, Ian and
his band mates Cage and Angus took turns sleeping in the guest
room and the couch in the living room because they couldn't
afford a proper flat of their own. Colleen had no objections
until their weekly shopping bill increased to three times as
much as they normally spent thanks to Angus's huge appetite and
she came home early to find Ian was 'entertaining' in the master
bedroom. After that only the Cage stayed on, quietly keeping to
himself and contributing anything he could towards food and the
water bill. He still occasionally baby sits for Ro and Col if
Helene and Joey are busy though other than that he's content to
live he bachelor's life and work his way towards becoming a
licensed tattoo artist.
- He proposed to Colleen on the fifth anniversary of the evening
that they met. He had asked permission from both Col's mother
and the man she considered a second father, Harvey Starling.
They were married quite quickly only two months later at the
Dublin registrar's office with only their mothers, Joey, Helene,
and Harvey Starling in attendance.
- Has a small rose tattooed over his heart as they're Col's
favorite flower.
- One of his favorite dishes is Marmite chicken.
- Was a history major in college.
*more info to be added as soon as Ronan speaks up* :-D

I don't think there's a single bit of info about him that I'm
not already adoring. I especially love the fact that he was an
Elvis tribute act ( this is one series I haven't actually
watched at all but I probably should ). I'm usually really
bitter toward anyone performing Elvis songs / dressing as Elvis
etc because.. well, I have no idea, aha! There's no reason for
the bitterness, I think it's just that I'm the same way with
Guns N Roses, too. Other bands not so much, but if anyone else
performs their songs / impersonates them, I generally look the
other way :') I fully appreciate the adoration it shows but for
some reason I always hate it, which is kind of interesting. Ugh,
I'm so jazzed by this character, though! I think Ro is perfect
for Col given the drabbles you've posted up on tumblr over the
last few days especially. I love that Cage is also a part of the
circle and was the only one allowed to keep bunking at their
place! that's so him.. he seems to have much more respect in
general I think. And, last but not least, I love the songs that
he connects to certain people; there's not one of those I don't
love listening to ;)
