The Fae are one of the most wonderful breedables in existance. No doubt about that.
I don't really remember when it started that I grew so attached to them, but I'm quite sure that I was mostly attracted by Anya's unique art.
I enjoyed to watch the growings without taking care of what the Fa'e actually were. This changed when I started to read the owners' journals and fell in love with the story and all the creativity behind each concept.
Since then I've been trying to make up a concept on my own and to improve my writing. I'm not a native speaker so it's a enormous strain to be as good as many other Gaians are.
I'm a small part of the Fa'e community for more than a year now and I'm stuck with the concept of Aria. The concept also participated in the art contest. No matter how long it will take me, I hope that Aria will be reborn one day.

First of all the Loreley is a German Myth and because of that probably not well-known to everyone. So I think this concept is very unique, isn't it ?
The most famous one is the one about a beautiful maiden who distracts the sailormen and makes them fall for her, so their ships crash against the rock. She's quite often called a witch for this special power.
Still this didn't happen for any other reason but the one most tragedies start with. She was deeply in love with a faithless man and committed suicide by throwing herself into the river. So she was transformed into this luring woman, who is seducive and passionate. She's combing her long blonde hair and sings all day to make the sailormen suffer and feel her rage about beeing cheated on.
The myth became popular because of a poem by the German poet Heinrich Heine. Here's a somehow translated and very similar version in English by Mark Twain.
An ancient legend of the Rhine
I cannot divine what it meaneth,
This haunting nameless pain:
A tale of the bygone ages
Keeps brooding through my brain:
The faint air cools in the gloaming,
And peaceful flows the Rhine,
The thirsty summits are drinking
The sunset's flooding wine;
The loveliest maiden is sitting
High-throned in yon blue air,
Her golden jewels are shining,
She combs her golden hair;.
She combs with comb that is golden,
And sings a weird refrain
That steeps in a deadly enchantment
The listener's ravished brain:
The doomed in his drifting shallop,
Is tranced with the sad sweet tone,
He sees not the yawing breakers,
He sees but the maid alone:
The pitiless billwos engulf him!-
So perish sailor and bark;
And this, with her baleful singing,
Is the Lorelei's gruesome work. Rhine Maidens
Rhine Maidens are German water spirits or faeries who live inside the waters of the river Rhine. They exist in male and female forms, but the women are far more common than their male counterparts. Although it could be assumed that they spend their days inside the water, the water faeries are in fact able to leave their wet homes and are often found along the waterside to admire their reflections. Sometimes they also join dances at villages, but are easily detected by the wet hems of their clothing.
The rhine maidens live together joyfully inside the river and are child-like in their behaviour. They love to play the whole day and humans are nothing but toys for them. Rhine Maidens are well-known for their beauty and are usually blonde and have a pair of blue eyes.

Powers
Melody||
Aria is able to hear the whisper of every object. She's able to make them sing in a way only she can understand. When she's touching objects and concentrates hardly it's almost like pushing a fingertip against the surface of water and causing tons of ripples. These ripples form words in her minds and so she's able to feel the emotions of certain things.
It's not happening like a real conversation but it's some kind of empathy. Because of this ability Aria is able to concieve her surroundings in a very emotional way. You could say she's able to feel the positive or negative vibrations of chairs for example and would be able to pick the one out who's likely to break soon.
[[ This of course relates to her rhine maiden abilities in her past life ]]
Breaking apart||
Aria is able to split objects into pieces. When she concetrates she's able to pull the nails out of cupboards by will. She's not able to destroy anything, but she can seperate an object's pieces from each other.
[[ This power relates to her past life ability to shatter the boats of the sailormen into pieces ]]
Dew||
Aria collects dew. She's able to shape small objects out of the drops, which usually don't last for long. It's not of any great use, but it's interesting that the dew drops don't seem to go away in her hands but materialize into a gel-like material.
[[ The Rhine area is/was a very beautiful one and so this relates to the beauty she had been living in]]
Weaknesses
Heights||
Aria is very afraid of heights. She'd never climb anything or even go by plane. For her heights mean death and so she tries to avoid anything higher than a chair.
[[ This is because she threw herself into the rhine from a rock and so height is something death bringing to her]]
Water||
Aria doesn't like to swim or water of any kind. If you ever want to date her you better don't choose swimming or she'll put you down. Of course she takes a shower and washes herself, but she isn't fond of watching the ocean or spending too much time in water.
[[ Because of her drowning ]]
Love||
Aria has a huge problem in coping with emotions. If somebody shows deep rooted feelings she feels easily overwhelmed and locks herself away. She prefers shallow relationships. Love also includes friendships, which may easily scare her if they become too close.
[[ Past Life disappointments ]]

Past Life [[ Please note that this is not complete, but just a short way of nailing the story down. ]]
"He loves me, he loves me not, he loves me..." It was just about dawn and the dew drops were still playing with the upcoming sunlight as Lorelei's golden hair was spread across the grass. The young lady had been spending days waiting for her fiance. They hadn't been promised to each other but she loved him dearly despite her parent's warnings. Sadly he wasn't able to visit her often, but everytime he came back from his sailing trips to...well, she didn't really know where he went to...he always brought her presents.
Thinking of him coming back Lorelei pushed herself into a sitting position and sighed as people in love usually sigh. She'd get dressed and washed and everything right away, just for him, just for Heinrich. Her feet were dancing across the meadow towards the small castle her father occupied. A smile was conjured onto her lips as she sneaked back into the stone halls. It was perfect and always worth the wait to see him again. It was then that she heard somebody moaning.
There was something vaguely familiar about this sound, but Lorelei couldn't quite say why it made her shiver slightly. Ever so silently she stepped towards the source of the sounds - the kitchen - and opened the door just a tiny bit.
A loud scream echoed through the halls as she recognised Heinrich, as God had created him ( completely naked ), on top of her abigail Mary. Unfortunately Lorelei didn't know that this scene had been arranged by her father, who didn't want her to marry the young lad. She didn't know either that Mary had been forced to seduce him and that it hurt her to betray the lady. It wouldn't have mattered to Lorelei anyway, because her heart shattered in thousands of bloody pieces in that moment and nothing but grief was left.
Since that day Lorelei wasn't happy again. The sadness had taken hold of her and seemed to tighten it's grip on the young woman's soul. Sometimes it seemed that she was mad with rage, but her eyes always remained as dark pools of loneliness.
These eyes caused havoc almong the local menfolk. It was almost like a magical spell had possessed her from that day on, which made the men fall for her attractive features. Lorelei was summoned to the bishop because of this, but the man was just as charmed as everyone else and didn't dare to condemn her to death. Still life had nothing left for the young woman anyway and she decided to end it, before she would bring any harm to another one's love. The bishop intended to send her to monastary and she even agreed. Accompanied by three knights they rode alongside the Rhine and Lorelei begged to look at the river just one more time before living as a nun.
It was a peaceful day as Lorelei decided to take the step and threw herself into the river Rhine to end her wasted life.
~~
So she was transformed into a water faerie, one of the rhine maidens. The others welcomed her and it seemed like all memories of her former self vanished. The Lorelei enjoyed her life as a rhine maiden. She could be seen wandering along the riverside watching her reflections, she played joyfully and she sang songs on the rock to play with the sailormen, who watched her awed. There was no grief left in her heart until she went to dance at a village nearby. At first nobody noticed that she was different, but one man was catched by her beauty and wanted her to stay.
Willhelm was right away amazed by her motions and her beautiful warm smile. Her hair was shining so beautifully close to the fireside. Lorelei didn't notice his intentions and just left the celebrations as she got tired of dancing and ran back to the river rhine.
Willhelm searched everywhere for her and finally he heard that the Lorelei had been spotted on a rock near the waterside. He ordered his companions to take him towards her by ship. He was so anxious to touch the rhine maiden, who was combing her hair with a golden comb and laughed at them, that he tried to step on the rock although the ship wasn't close enough. He slipped off the surface and fell into the water and couldn't be seen by anybody. The men blamed the Lorelei and turned their ships away from the witch, who had killed their friend Willhelm.
The Lorelei didn't seem to care about it much and even laughed at the men. Diving down towards Willhelm's body she noticed that he was still alive and so the Rhine maidens made him stay inside the water to cool his hot loving heart.
In between the men of the village had gathered and planned to kill the so-called witch. One day they all moved towards her favourite rock and accused her of killing Willhelm. Just in that fateful moment Heinrich, the lover of her former life, was crossing the rhine nearby. As the Lorelei spotted him it was as if all the memories swapped back into her mind and she thought of Willhelm who lay on the ground of the river to cool his love. These thoughts terrified her. The men though were sure that she was about to do some magic as they recognised her expression and so they stabbed the woman, who was supposed to have killed their friend.
So the Lorelei was thrown into the rhine for a second time, but this time she didn't come to live again. Since then the legends about the witch increased and she was even called a siren, but only few remembered the true story of the rhine maiden and her betrayed love.

Prem
Name || Prem
( Means "love" in Sanskrit. )
Gender || Male
Sexuality || Heterosexual
Languages || English
Looks || Prem is slim and quite tall and has very slender fingers. His skin is slightly tanned. There's always something deep and emotional about his expression.
Eye Colour|| Slight blue
Hair Colour & Style|| Black, short and slightly curly
Dressing Style|| Prem dresses in the style of the fifties. He enjoys black, white and brown and is usually seen in formal clothes.
Personality || This man is a very melancholical one who rarely smiles. Most of the time he appears to be deep in thought and appears to take even the slightest jokes seriously. He enjoys reading a good book and the silence. There have been times when he had been happier, but since Loir has faded away he stays in his own sad world. Prem has an enormous will power and may even be called stubborn sometimes. It often seems like he's not able to care about somebody, but this is just some kind of act to prevent himself from being hurt again. He cares deeply about Aria though.
Relationships || Prem was deeply in love with Loir, but she died in a battle. It's even more depressing for him, because he didn't confess his love to her. He's able to feel her ghost though and sometimes he's dreaming about her as if it was real. So you could say that she's still with him.
Likes || Tea, Rain, Loir, playing the piano
Dislikes || Arrogance, being forced into something

Edenesa - Prem & Aria's World
This part is mostly thought for the lost children contest, because it explains where Prem and Aria come from...
~~~
Wouldn't you agree that inviting somebody for a cup of tea can't be called a crime ? Well, my friend, you haven't seen the world of Edenesa yet. Imagine a futuristic place with lots of metall and modern inventions around, imagine computer screens and cameras and just in between imagine a little shop called "Turdleys"...
In fact, you wouldn't call it a shop nowadays, but that's mainly done for security reasons anyway. Inside you find the aromes of coffee and tea and an elderly woman who greets you when you enter the building.
Edenesa is ruled by the 'Triplets'. A child, a young man and an aged. They were the ones that had divided the city into parts of labour, they made sure that the morals were taken into account when making decisions, they were the ones that had forbidden stimulants like tea, coffee and chocolate.
The streets of Edenesa are sterile, the cities are clean and everything is following the Triplets' order. If you want to find a mate for life you have to visit a dating agency. They'd mix up thousands of information about you and your life and find the ideal partner for a peaceful relationship. No children before signing a contract for life. No wild parties, just strolling through the parks, which have been created to strike one's inner harmony.
So you see, "Turdleys" isn't a place everybody went to. In fact it is the home of an organization called "Earl Grey". This group is illegal and so they have to meet secretly to discuss about their plans. What are they planning you ask ?
To brighten people's day in a different way. To make somebody feel warm and cosy inside with a cup of tea. To see a child with melting chocolate around it's mouth....
Want some tea ?
