Role: The Mermaid
Age: 17
Appearance:
Long, dark brown hair and eyes the gray of the sea during a summer storm. She is tall, slender and graceful, or she would be if she could stand. Her tail is beautiful, with brilliant silver scales and silvery-white fins. Her webbed fingers are nonetheless long, and very slender. She has gills in her neck, as all merfolk do. She is unaccustomed to wearing clothing; merfolk do not cover themselves. However, as the scientists demand, she wears a bathing-suit top made to look like the silver scales on her tail.
Personality: She is highly intelligent, and can be gentle, at least to her own people. However, she is very wary, taught from a young age to hate humans because they are different, and can not understand the ways of the mermish. As such, she trusts no human she meets, and as she has met few of them, she does not understand them either. She is sharp, cold, even violent towards all those with two legs, at least until they can win her trust. Those who have won her trust find that she is a vicious fighter, and would protect them with her life. She is still, however, wary. She will never really trust a human.
Likes: Swimming, mantarays, stingrays, dolphins, sea lions, whales, jellyfish, squid (to eat), pearls, coral reefs, reef fish, other merfolk, singing, sunken ships, human artifacts (especially jewelry)
Dislikes: Sea otters (they are too energetic), sharks, dry land, humans, being contained, nets, tanks, ships, divers (they invade the place which is not there's).
Crush: Her lover, the Merman.
Hobbies: Collecting things from sunken ships, singing, playing with dolphins and sea lions.
Fears: Being contained and controlled, humans, sharks.
Life Goal: To become a leader for her people.
Deepest Secret: >.< Nobody gets to know! Until later in the RP... because it is a plot point.
History: She was born the heir to the throne of Atlantis, destined to lead the merfolk until the day she dies. She looks forwards to this destiny, and does all she can to learn and someday be a good Queen. She, like all mermish, was taught what little they know of human ways, and learned several human languages; preparations the mermish make in case humans ever decide to attack them. She speaks English, Spanish, Chinese, and Italian. She had just come of age and begun courting her fiance and childhood friend, the man she has always loved, when she was washed up on a beach in Cape Cod during a vicious summer storm, and found by the humans.
