My name is: Thaelan Azell
I am: Twenty years old
My reflection shows a: Male
I am a: Merman
What others say I'm like: Thaelan is a young man who is soft-spoken but talkative, the type that enjoys conversation yet never raises his voice unless he feels he absolutely must. He's exceptionally honest, sometimes to the point of brutality, but he never means anything he says badly. He's kind and gentle, as well as very protective of people that he cares about. While he doesn't have much of a temper when it does show it's quite vicious.
My scroll says: Born the older of Vence and Maera's twin children, Thaelan was his little sister's overprotective brother from day one. He was always looking out for her even when she wasn't looking out for herself. The two of them spent their early years attached at the hip, rarely ever straying far from the other's side. Even as they got older and began to stray apart with their own groups of friends they stayed close. Thaelia was always the type that wanted to help any travelers that sailed on their oceans, particularly the pirates, and so despite his caution her brother was always there to help and keep her safe. Little did they know that their king had placed a curse on the pirates. When they went to help one particular group they were attacked; in protecting Lia, Lan took two nasty gashes to the side from some harpoons. Since then he's been even more cautious when approaching any sort of human, though he has no qualms about helping his people attack their ships. He's never killed anyone at his own hand, but he likes to think he makes them reconsider sailing the open water.
My interests: Thaelan enjoys venturing onto land in secret when he gets the chance, and makes something of a game of seeing how close he can get to passing ships without being noticed, since he can get away quick and easy. Other than that he sometimes collects neat rocks and whatever random human things he can get his hands on.
What I fancy:
✣ Rainy days
✣ Spending time with his friends and his sister
✣ Searching for treasures in the ocean
Keep it away:
✣ Pirates
✣ Bright lights
✣ Violence

Who's writing my tale: Infected Innocence
My name is: Thaelia Azell
I am: Twenty years old
My reflection shows a: Female
I am a:Mermaid
What others say I'm like: Thaelia is innocent, sweet, and a tad naive at times. She has boundless energy and enthusiasm, and is definitely an optimist, preferring to see the glass as half full more often than not. She loves to explore and learn new things. She rarely gets angry, and she has a very good sense of humor. She's not always the most cautious, and so she can get into some bad situations without really realizing it, but she's surprisingly clever and so can make her own way out of them. She makes friends easily and does well in crowds.
My scroll says: Born the younger of Vence and Maera's twin children, from the moment they were born Thaelia has lived under the protective wing - or fin - of her older brother Thaelan. He was always looking out for her even when she wasn't looking out for herself. The two of them spent their early years attached at the hip, rarely ever straying far from the other's side. Even as they got older and began to stray apart with their own groups of friends they stayed close. Thaelia was always the type that wanted to help any travelers that sailed on their oceans, particularly the pirates, and so despite his caution her brother was always there to help and keep her safe. Little did they know that their king had placed a curse on the pirates. When they went to help one particular group they were attacked; in protecting Lia, Lan took two nasty gashes to the side from some harpoons. She felt horrible about it, and has never fully forgiven herself for being, as she thinks of it, the reason he was injured. She's taken extra caution when approaching any humans since, though she refusing to join the raiding parties that her brother goes with. Somewhere inside she still believes that humans are kind, and have only acted the way they have because of the curse.
My interests: Thaelia loves exploring, finding neat new places that she's never been before. She also loves playing with the local sea creatures. She loves to sing, but isn't very confident in her singing ability.
What I fancy:
✣ Swimming with the ocean creatures
✣ Playing in the waves
✣ Going up on the rocks or near the shore
Keep it away:
✣ Orca whales and sharks
✣ Fighting
✣ Winter snow and cold

Who's writing my tale: Infected Innocence
My name is: Oriana Lowell
I am: Twenty-three
My reflection shows a: Female
I am a: Pirate
What others say I'm like: Oriana's a curious young woman with a heart for adventure. She wants to see the world and, being stubborn as she is, she won't let anything come in her way. She's talkative and outgoing, surprisingly sweet for a pirate. That is until her temper flares. She's driven and intense, a hell of a fighter - particularly with a gun. She's a bit of a tomboy, a little rough around the edges and a determination to prove that, just because she's a woman, that doesn't mean she can't hold her own. She has a natural intrigue when it comes to merpeople, and though she's become somewhat bitter since the curse has been placed on her she still wants to know more about their culture. She doesn't trust easily, but once she does she's intensely loyal and caring - unless you lose that trust, and then it's nigh impossible to get it back.
My scroll says: As the only daughter of a pair of pirates, Jorge and Melinda, she can't remember a time when she didn't love the water. Whether she was in it or sailing upon it Oriana has always been a lover of the seas and oceans. She spent a lot of time on her father's ship growing up, learning from his experience and dealing with the kind merpeople they met on their ways, and it inspired her to follow in his footsteps and become a pirate when she was older. When she told her parents this they just laughed and said they expected nothing less; so they taught her to shoot and swing a sword, to sail a ship and repair cannon holes. By the time she was nineteen she was captain of her own ship, The valiant, but unfortunately it wasn't to last. She and her crew were far from shore when a terrible storm hit. Thunder, lightning, raging waves and howling winds; the works. The crew just got the ship tenuously under their control when the raiders hit.
Merpeople appeared out of nowhere and attacked, dragging unsuspecting men and women to their deaths beneath the dark waters. Oriana put up a fight before she was knocked unconscious by one of the attackers. The next thing she could remember was waking up on the shore of a beach in a rowboat, a headache pounding in her skull and confusing muddling her thoughts. She had no idea how she got there, what had happened to her people and her ship. Then he appeared: a merman, shockingly kind considering the ones she'd been attacked by, or the one that placed the curse. He explained the situation and, while her heart ached at the loss of so many lives on her own ship, she was in debt to the man's kindness. She had nothing else so she gave him her sword, an old family heirloom from her mother's side of the family, and then the two went their ways. She hasn't had any ship of her own since The Valiant but she spends plenty of time on others, and despite her bitterness towards Christian and the raiders that attacked her ship and crew, she still thinks often on the one merman that saved her life.
My interests: When she's not sailing the high seas - which she doesn't do often nowadays because of the curse - Oriana enjoys practicing her shooting with her pistol and making wood carvings. She used to train with her sword, but she never replaced the one that she gave away.
What I fancy:
✣ Sailing
✣ A clear sky
✣ Target practice
✣ Music
✣ The ocean, even if she can't touch it
Keep it away:
✣ The curse
✣ Excessive heat
✣ Being underestimated
✣ Drowning
Forgot something: She has some bad burn scars on her back from being out in the rain the day the curse was placed.
