Elowen , daughter of Therodyses IX
Neryria Elowen , daughter of Therodyses IX
Physical Description
General Physical Condition
More petite than your average merfolk. Generally meek looking and delicate, especially while on land.
Identifying Characteristics
Tattoos & Markings:
- A tattoo of a dragon on her left shoulder blade.
- Bioluminescent royal markings on her right shoulder.
- An ornate tattoo of twin fish coiled in an embrace on the inside of her left wrist, a symbol to Oasia.
Physical quirks
Her scales have a pattern which creates the feeling of plant life and flowers blooming underwater.
Her red hair is often hard to tame when not in water and twirls majestically.
Her skin is so pale and soft that it almost feels like a layered translucent vale. It creates a glowing affect which might look somewhat unnatural to the people of land. This was once a common feature among royal merfolk, amplifying their cultural divine authority at the time.
Mental characteristics
Sexuality
Picky but generally open to many things, believing that all love is sacred in accordance to the Tears of Oasia.
Education
A platitude of personal tutors and study at the Academy of Currents, Nerothystia.
Accomplishments & Achievements
Was top of her class in Sacred Studies, Elven and Prophecy while at the Academy of Currents.
Failures & Embarrassments
Captured due to roaming too close to the surface in disallowed areas of the reef. The feeling of being unable to defend herself still haunts her, but being unable to have any impact of defending her home, her people, her family. This is something she quietly still believes as a personal series of failures.
Sometimes on the darkest of nights she feels like she should have just perished with the rest of her family, a guilt which lingers throughout the next day.
Mental Trauma
Experienced the extermination of her people and absolute destruction of her home country while being taken away with the intention of experimentation and slavery. An event which to her would have only taken place very recently.
Intellectual Characteristics
Sometimes sharp, sometimes clumsy. Always curious to learn more and careful not to offend.
Being from 300 years ago, there are many technologies which she isn't completely aware of and will likely still have to discover. Yet she also finds that some technology has gone backwards, or feels like it has, from what they had back in Nerothystia.
Personality Characteristics
Motivation
To stay proud and cling to her royal blood. Her bond to those who died in the event continue to haunt her, driving her on to recover what once was with renewed vigour like a phoenix of the ocean.

Vices & Personality flaws
- Might see herself as more righteous than those she believes to be lesser than her. Though often masked by her tone of politeness, it can come across as snarky and patronising.
- Is so used to everyone buying her anything she needs that its a habit that is hard to break, she might be surprised that she herself has to directly pay for something like the common folk do.
Social
Contacts & Relations
None living
Family Ties
Heir to the kingdom Nerothystos Thalassara which was completely destroyed 300 years ago. Despite this, royal blood still pumps through her veins with a sense of familial purpose.
Religious Views
Has a strong connection to Osia, but often holds great respect for all deities. Her spiritual studies and royal blood have allowed her to have a closer connection to such beings of power than most.
Hobbies & Pets
She writes in her diary each night, often focusing on menial observations and frustrations. In her entries before the event, it was as if she were trying to find an escape from having to think about her royal duties.
