Sorcha Groundsell was a Scottish actress who broke out in the states in 2018 when she began starring on the Netflix science fiction series "The Innocents" (Netflix, 2018- ). Born and raised in Scotland, Groundsell first knew she wanted to be an actor at the age of 9. Her family had just relocated to Glasgow, Scotland, and soon after, Groundsell's parents enrolled her in children's drama classes at the Citizens Theater. Groundsell soon fell in love with acting, and before long was immersing herself in classic Hollywood films like "Casablanca" (1942), as well as various animated Disney classics. In watching those films, she realized that acting was a career she could pursue, and by the age of 15 Groundsell had hired an acting coach to take her fledgling career to the next level. Before long she was being cast in plays throughout Scotland, which allowed her to hone her craft night after night on stage. Then in 2015 Groundsell was cast in a supporting role in the dramatic film "Iona" (2015). The critical success of "Iona," which was also Groundsell's feature film debut, gave Groundsell the leverage she needed to pursue screen-acting full time. Over the next few years she appeared on the shows "In Plain Sight" (USA Network, 2008-2012) and "Clique" (BBC Three, 2017- ).

for Rune Winters in Heartless Hunter
Suggested by katyaludwig
On the night Rune’s life changed forever, blood ran in the streets. Now, in the aftermath of a devastating revolution, witches have been diminished from powerful rulers to outcasts ruthlessly hunted due to their waning magic, and Rune must hide what she is. Spending her days pretending to be nothing more than a vapid young socialite, Rune spends her nights as the Crimson Moth, a witch vigilante who rescues her kind from being purged. When a rescue goes wrong, she decides to throw the witch hunters off her scent and gain the intel she desperately needs by courting the handsome Gideon Sharpe - a notorious and unforgiving witch hunter loyal to the revolution - who she can't help but find herself falling for. Gideon loathes the decadence and superficiality Rune represents, but when he learns the Crimson Moth has been using Rune’s merchant ships to smuggle renegade witches out of the republic, he inserts himself into her social circles by pretending to court her right back. He soon realizes that beneath her beauty and shallow façade, is someone fiercely intelligent and tender who feels like his perfect match. Except, what if she’s the very villain he’s been hunting? Kristen Ciccarelli’s Heartless Hunter is the thrilling start to The Crimson Moth duology, a romantic fantasy series where the only thing more treacherous than being a witch...is falling in love.
