NORTH ATLANTIC a b o u t
Don't you love taking trips to the beach? The anticipation of arriving at the beach is always a very difficult thing to deal with, but when you finally arrive at the sandy shore, you forget all about waiting. You're instantly captivated by all of the beautiful qualities of the ocean; the shore that seems to reach out for an eternity, the vast and endless sea that possesses a deep blue color... And the best part of all: The cool, gentle breeze wrapping around you. It beckons you towards the water, as it travels with the sound of waves that whisper in your ear. The aroma that the zephyr brings with it is impossible to forget, and lives within you for the rest of your life. This is the scent that I wish to portray.

SOUTH ATLANTIC s c e n t
Name of Scent: Alelisa
Gender: Female
Scent: Ocean Breeze
Appearance:___Unlit & Lit Scent | Nothing but a seemingly ordinary scent oil, which possesses a luminous cerulean color. When the candle is lit, the oil releases light blue colored fumes. ___Child | It appears that rather than a child, a mermaid has materialized from the oil! It looks like she doesn't spend much time in the sun, because her skin is pale white. Her hair is a soft, icy-blue color that is tightly pulled back into a pair of two curly pigtails. A unique detail about her hair is that the tips of her pigtails end in sea foam, giving her an even more oceanic appearance. Her physique is on the rather petite side, typical for a girl her age. The mermaid's tail is a deep blue color and is adorned in scales from top to bottom. The base meets with an elegant, billowy fin that flows almost as erraticaly as waves do. Not only does the base of her tail have fins, but so do her ears and hands. They are webbed and finned, identical to a fish's fin. Her eyes are a very soft blue, they're almost white. She also carries around a rather large clam that she clasps very tightly. She rests it on her lap, as her arms hold it against her stomach. As for clothing, she has a shimmering blue cloth wrapped around her chest. For right now, she doesn't need much to cover up. She has three pearl bracelets on her right wrist, as well as two pearl baubles (four giant pearls altogether, two for each side) to hold her pigtails in place.___Adolescent | Alelisa is now a teenager and in an even more awkward stage of life. She still wears her pigtails, but they are much longer. The length reaches just past her elbows, whilst her bangs now flow past her chin. The shade is a tiny bit darker then it was before, but it's not too noticeable. They are kept in place by a pair of blue ribbons. Alelisa is going through something of a mermaid puberty; she's growing scales on the top of her arm and the color of her tail is changing. As of right now, the only difference in color is that it has gotten a little brighter. (Although it will change much more later) Alelisa's choice of clothing is a pair of pearly seashells, tied together with pearls. She still chooses to carry around her giant clam, but doesn't hold it so tightly. It's something of a purse to her, she holds it between her torso and arm. She still wears her three pearl bracelets on her right wrist. ___Adult | Alelisa is through with her awkward stages of life, and is now a beautiful mermaiden. Her arms are covered in silvery scales, and her tail now has pastel pink scales scattered across it. She has no hairstyle, per se, it is simply let down and brushed. It is extremely wavy and reaches just past her bottom. She is much more bold with her clothing this time around: nothing! Her hair is long enough to cover her breasts, so she doesn't bother. She wears a swan feather at the top of her head to the side, because of her love for ballet. Her voice, however, is starting to get dangerously weak...___Elder | Alelisa no longer has a voice by this stage; she's gone completely mute, but isn't sad one bit about it. She's still able to communicate via body language. She's also very eloquent when it comes to facial expressions. For example, if she doesn't like something, she'll just make this blatant grimace of disgust. She truly emphasizes the beauty of sea creatures. She shows all the qualities of a fully mature mermaid- her tail has become a new color, she's grown scales on her arms, her hair now shows age; it's much paler than it was as a child. The tips of her hair splash out into seafoam, a sign of experience and wisdom among merfolk. As for her hair style, it's swirled into two buns atop her head, twinkled and dotted with pearls. She wears a much more extravagant wrap in this stage, with long veils extending out of the back of it and flowing about her.
Personality: Unfortunately, Alelisa suffers from something of an inferiority complex. Although there's no dispute over the fact that Alelisa is beautiful, the young mermaid would adamantly disagree. She does not believe in herself, and while that may come off as modesty, one can be assured that it is not. Alelisa cannot take a compliment without also pointing out a negative quality about herself, to assure others that she isn't worthy of said flattery. The source of all her insecurities is her voice. While most mermaids have alluring, elegant voices, she does not. Her voice is hoarse and raspy, and cannot speak any louder than a few subaudible words. Alelisa has a security blanket of sorts: a giant clam that gives her a sense of protection and soothes her. If it is ever misplaced, or she has to be without it for whatever reason, she breaks into a panic and cannot think straight. That being said, Alelisa also tends to break into tears if put under too much pressure. She is very easy to manipulate, almost to a fault. She tries her best to emulate what people expect of her, but deep inside she wishes to be herself. Alelisa also tends to submit to the wills of others, and never defends herself.___Likes | Alelisa finds comfort within ballet stories. Not only does the classical music calm her, but she also finds peace within the tales. Alelisa adores the happily-ever-afters, something she wants for herself. If it's one of the more morbid tales, she sympathizes with them because she feels her life is anything but happy. Some of her favorites include Swan Lake, La Sylphide, and Sleeping Beauty. Another hobby of Alelisa's is astrology. She often finds herself searching through newspapers for the horoscope section, attempting to find out if the predictions are going to tell her if she'll be okay.___Dislikes | One thing that makes Alelisa extremely uncomfortable is too much attention. It makes her uneasy when people give her compliments, because she feels she doesn't deserve the praise of others. She doesn't even know why herself, so it's something of a mystery. Alelisa cannot stand looking into vanity mirrors, either. She can take a quick glance into them to fix her hair, or to make sure there's no food plastered onto her cheeks, but aside from those few fleeting moments, she won't do it. She rather not look at herself unless she has to, so she avoids mirrors.___Later Life: (Spoilers! Highlight to read) In her child stage, Alelisa is a sad, maladjusted child who only finds comfort in Fairy Tale ballet. She is not yet mature enough to see her true worth. As she grows older, she is frustrated with the fact that she has yet to show any bit of maturation. But more than anything, her "woe-is-me" disposition bothers her the most. She shocks even herself when she thrusts her clam, causing it to shatter into pieces. This act shows an attempt at growing up, even if she may regret it later. However, she eventually grows comfortable with her negative trait and begins to blossom. It is very hard for her, yet very fulfilling at the same time.Wings: If she is to become a Scent Maker and get some wings, then they'd deal with the ocean, obviously! They'd be in the shape of traditional fairy wings, but a little less uniform. They'd stream out on the edges like ribbons of waves with little bubbles sparkling up sometimes. The top of her wings are the same color of her original scent oil, cerulean, but as it descends to the lower half, it spills into a deep blue, just as how the ocean's hue gets darker as you divulge deeper into its depths. However, I'm going to hold on saying whether or not Alelisa will become a Scent Maker. I want to wait and see if the pros outweigh the cons. (If there are any, that is.)

INDIAN g u a r d i a n
Name: Marina Nertch (a.k.a. Miss Nertch)
Age: 23
DOB: March 6th
Astrology Sign: Pisces
Race: Human
Occupation: A dreamer. She is a primary school teacher, and very much so loves children. She is very motherlike by nature, and tends to treat people of all age like kids. It may come off as condescending, but she means nothing bad about it. She can be bossy at times, because she is used to giving small children instructions. Marina is also an aspiring writer. She originally suffered from a long case of writer's block, but now that Alelisa is in her life... She can't stop writing about mermaids. Also, she integrates stories of merfolk into storytime back at school.
Personality: [/not done] ___Likes:She definitely has an affinity for children, and loves taking care of people. She one day dreams to be a mother of many children, as well. She enjoys sweet treats, as well as different kinds of fruit. She enjoys bubble baths, talking walks on rainy days, and reading romance novels.___Dislikes: Insects. Arachnids. Rodents. ANYTHING THAT CRAWLS. She gets weak in the knees if she sees any sort of bloody wound, or gets a paper cut. She's deathly afraid of heights, and hates going to the dentist. She cannot tolerate scary stories or suspenseful movies, and will not go into dark places alone.
Appearance: [/not done] ___Hair: Much like the scent she will one day befriend (albeit unknowingly), her hair is an ocean-blue color. It is extremely curly, much like the 'Girl's Curlz' Gaian hairstyle.___Height: 5'4", she's rather short.___Weight: Who knows? She refuses to say.___Eyes: A pair of glossy blue eyes. She sometimes wears glasses. (Not as much as she should, though...)___Physique: Slender, with an average body.___Skin: Creamy white

Attempts:
-- Shouko's 18th Birthday Bash [link]Prompt Stage: Adult It's christmas morning, and throughout your home there is silence. Everyone slowly rises from their beds and makes their excited way down to the tree in the middle of your living room to open gifts and eat breakfast! The last to enter is your Scent. The adult Scent's face is full of sorrow, and mourning. What caused this unpleasant spirit, and how do you try to make things better? Prompt Response It was nearing 9 am, and all the presents were still untouched and pristine. They rested under the tree, which was bedecked in seashell trinkets, pearl strings, and a starfish topper. As The Nutcracker music droned off in the background, Marina thought about Alelisa. By this time of morning, she could usually hear her splashing about in her bathtub, which also served as a bed. Marina was taken aback by the fact that she had slept in on Christmas. Deciding to investigate this strange occurrence, Marina traipsed towards the bathroom. Pressing her ear against the bathroom door, she listened intently. There was nothing but a soft sigh; faint, yet still audible. "Alelisa, are you okay?" No reply. "...Alelisa?" A resounding silence echoed. Worried, Marina flung the door open and flinched when it hit the wall. Alelisa was laying in her bathtub, her hair down. It was an uncommon sight to see her hair in such a manner, as it was always put up into pigtails. Not too far from the tub laid several pieces of what appeared to be the remnants of a seashell. "I... I didn't mean to throw it so hard." Alelisa said with an anxious tone. "Throw what?" Marina inquired in a motherlike voice. "My clam," she replied in a mourning tone, "I was really mad last night... I mean, look at me. I'm an adult clinging to her childhood, like a fish on a hook..." Alelisa buried her face into her webbed hands, which were always cool and damp. Marina was shocked by the action Alelisa had taken out of frustration, it was so unlike her. "Why would you think that?" Marina's voice transitioned from worried to comforting. Tears that were like sea water gradually streamed down Alelisa's cheeks, like a river gently flowing. "I've had that clam all my life... No matter how hard I try, I'm still a crybaby who is too timid to stand up for herself. Last night, as I went to hold my clam, I realized how childish I was. I've never changed at all throughout my life, and that bothers-" Her long reply began to take a strain on her fragile voice, as it abruptly went out. "Alelisa... Although you may regret it now, by breaking that clam you've broken out of that child's state-of-mind. That was a giant attempt at growing up." Alelisa unleashed soft giggles that sounded like crashing waves. Although it hurt her voice, she couldn't hold it in. She could not verbalize her emotions, yet her body language spoke for her. Wiping her tear-stained face, she pulled herself out of the bathtub, and started to pick up the remains of her clam. "Don't worry about it, Alelisa. We have presents to open! And my family will probably be here later with boatloads more..." Alelisa jumped up in shock. Although it appeared that she had totally disregarded what Marina had said, she did not. She pulled an opalescent pink rock out of the pile of scraps and excitedly placed it in Marina's hands. It was a pink pearl; one of the rarest gemstones. "Woah! This is probably the best gift you'll get this year!!" Marina exclaimed in a dazzled tone. "No," Alelisa cracked in a subdued voice, "I already have it." ********************
