History: She was found floating
along a river by Caleb and his daughter, Luna, while they were out fishing.
She seemed to have suffered from some sort of trauma and was in and out
of consciousness for awhile. Despite that she looked like a normal little
girl, Caleb was able to tell that she wasn't human. For awhile they weren't
able to determine what she was exactly, until Ariana discovered she was
a mermaid when she walked in on her while bathing.
She's from a noble family, and apparently she had "swam" away
from home. She wouldn't go into much details as to why she did so, but
only says that she doesn't want to go back and asks if they would take
her in for awhile. So after some discussion, it was decided to allow her
to stay.
About the race/clan:
There are many myths and legends about mermaids throughout various cultures
and history. Nerissa's people are originally a rare type of marine mammal
that does not currently exist in their original form, therefore considered
extinct. In the beginning, her people were about the size of the small
beluga whales and they came in all sorts of colors. Poseidon had charged
her ancestors to secretly guard and watch over a precious relic for which
they did guard it faithfully for many centuries. Because they were not
very aggressive nor considered the ideal guards at first, most wouldn't
consider them actually guarding anything. But one technique they did have
that helped was the ability to hide things without looking like they did
so. They also like to collect random things, which varies from each individual.
When the time came for Poseidon to retrieve his relic, he rewarded her
people the ability to shapeshift into humans. Eventually over time their
fish forms began to alter and their basic form became more like the mermaids
of legends. Essentially though they'd actually be more or less accurately
nymphs, but the merfolk term became acceptable. |
