>"Eventually she was reconciled with her sister and became the lover of Cúchulainn."
I guess that's one way to put it.
Wikipedia:
"When Aífe turns to look, he overpowers her, throws her over his shoulder, and carries her back to his side. He held his sword at her throat as she begged for her life. He chooses not to kill her, on two conditions: that she cease hostilities with Scáthach and she bear him a son."

"When her rival, the warrior woman Aífe, threatens her territory, Cú Chulainn defeats Aífe in battle. At swordpoint, he decides to spare her life under the condition that she will lie with him and bear him a son. This rape leaves Aífe pregnant with his son Connla, whom Cú Chulainn kills years later - only realizing who Connla is after he has slain him."

Sorry, but I've never been comfortable with hiding the ugliness of the past behind euphemisms.

For the darker side of Aoife see King Lir's second wife who was a beautiful witch and turned all 4 of Lir's children into swans condemned to fly for 900 years.
Still a beautiful name and worthy of any sorcerer.

One of the contestants on 'How do you solve a problem like Maria?'. She didn't win, Connie did.
