Description

Personality

When Mavena first interacted with humans they learned she was a tomboy by the way she acted in comparission to most females. This was probably induced by her childhood hood of being the spy and army general for her faux-sister, who is the girlier of the two. Mavena is very liberated and will not accept it if she is revoked from something solely because of her gender. Around her friends Mavena was typically very pleasant, making them laugh, being there for them if they were sad and defending them whenever they felt threatened. All in all Mavena is a good friend, though she can be crazy. Her favorite game is similar to "Truth or Dare" and Mavena adores nothing more than a good dare. She doesn't get embarressed easily and is generally pretty upbeat, not taking offense or getting angry very easily. Although Mavena does become aggitated or irritable over some things; like when she is walking, she has trouble because she is still very inexperiance, and this makes her look clumbsy, though she just isn't used to her legs yet. A queer little fact about Mavena is that she sees no problem with walking around undressed. I mean, it wasn't weird where she came from! She doesn't get why humans are bothered by somethings and this confuses her once in awhile. Also, Mavena does not get sex jokes because humans reproduce differently then merfolk, making her appear clueless.

History

Mavena was born to Anistekle, the Sea King's younger sister. Her father was the General of the King's army and was killed in battle with other seafolk before Mavena was born. She and her Mom went to live in her Uncle's palace. About 7 months after Mavena was born, her cousin Princess Mistaisha, was born. They've grown up considering each other sisters. But while Mistaisha is required to have special royalty care and etc., Mavena is free to roam. Often it is Mavena that keeps Mistaisha informed and entertained, although they talk a lot about switching places for a day because they look so similar.

Recently, Mavena and Mistaisha have become fascinated with the giant black shadows that pass over the surface of the water. They want to learn more about them but Mistaisha is forbidden to go near them. So Mavena sneaks out and bring the information back to her. As years passed, more black shadows crossed the ocean and the merfolk learned more about them in secret. The shadows were actually giant, floating hunks of driftwood that carried creatures without tails from place to place. Then as time wore on, merfolk became less afraid and some actually interacted with the creatures. They learned the creatures were called “humans” and the driftwoods were called “ships”.

Finally there came a day when humans asked some merfolk if they would come to the human’s world. Though the King and Queen were hesitant, Mavena volunteered to go and went she came back she would informed them of her findings. They agreed and gave Mavena her heirloom so that she could call on water whenever she needed to. In addition they transformed her so that when Mavena was completely dry she would have “legs” like the humans and of course, when Mavena was fully submerged, her tail will form again. When she is wet, but not underwater, Mavena has the choice between a human or a mermaid’s low body. Thanking her family, Mavena boarded the ship as a human and came to shore.

What she discovered was very, very different from her home world. Tall buildings, new sounds, sights, tastes and hundreds- no, thousands of humans everywhere! It was a strange transition but Mavena tried to handle it with the grace and dignity of a queen, just like Mistashia might. The humans on the ship told Mavena of how humans had only recently come to believe that magical creatures, like her, even existed; and how a school called “Surepath Academy” had been built so to teach some of these various creatures and humans to make peace between their kinds. They told her she would go there for a time, and once that time was up she could travel home or remain on land for however long she pleased. Sending a message home to her family, Mavena accepted and was brought to the school to be registered.
