III. PERSONALITY
Personality: What Lorelei was like just a few years ago is a complete mystery to her, having forgotten everything about her life for reasons she isn't even able to understand. The trauma of losing her memories and discovering herself unable to speak has left her as a shy and withdrawn woman whom at times acts younger than she truly is. While she is shy, Lorelei is also a proud woman whom despises pity taken on her for her lose of memories and inability to speak. Even though she has lost much, what she has discovered about herself is something to be proud of. Her creativity and ability to craft wonderful music and art fills her with confidence even though she rarely shows such skills off to others.
She is also a lazy person who would much rather shrug off more physical labor tasks and enjoy her time alone. If a person expects her to carry heavy loads than they will be disappointed. However with close friends and people she is comfortable with she can turn boring downtime into ones filled with wonderful music to turn what would have been repetitive labor into something more enjoyable. In general she is a quiet and rather meek person that prefers to hide in the background, only showing her true colors to people who force themselves past her shyness and stick with her.
Likes:
- Music: Music is apart of Lorelei, it is something that fills the vast void in her mind and brings comfort to herself. A picture may be worth a thousand words, however songs can inspire people in ways that pictures can not. They can paint images in people's minds, bring about emotions long since buried and make people realize things they never though they were capable of before. It can be either subtle or obvious in the way that it affects people, since even the noise In the background can have effects on a person's reactions that they wouldn't otherwise expect.
- Art: A picture is worth a thousand words, and a beautiful picture can render people speechless just as songs can. Beauty is something that Lorelei enjoys be it art or music, which is one of the things that helped her settle into the Blue Pegasus guild when she was first taken in.
- Books: Books when read can paint a world just for the reader to enjoy and pass the time, when read with music however they become an impressive story that sucks Lorelei into their tale due to the constant songs playing in her head.
- Sunflower seeds: Sunflower seeds are Lorelei's favorite snack, often popping handfuls into her mouth at a time to savor the salty taste and crack the shells open with her teeth only to spit them out.
Dislikes:
- Center of Attention: No matter how much she enjoys listening and playing music, when she realizes just how much people wind up loving it and staring at her it is enough to give her pause. Lorelei is a shy person and with the inability to speak has a hard time turning down people or making up excuses to flee.
- Sunburns: The feel of the sun on the flesh is a wonderful thing, the peeling of flesh, blisters, and sunburns in general however are something that she is better off without.
- Spelling Errors: Everyone knows that saying the wrong thing can lead to horrible misunderstandings, for Lorelei it is writing the wrong things that are their cause. With an obsessive hatred for spelling errors and the compulsion to fix them has lead to Lorelei resenting such things the most.
- Work: Lorelei is a healthy woman, with a body in surprisingly wonderful condition, however this in no way means that she likes physical labor and working. She is at heart, a relatively lazy person and would much prefer listening to the songs in her mind rather than moving a piano up ten flights of stairs.
Motivations:
- Creativity: Creating beautiful music and painting breathtaking images of nature are things that Lorelei loves and constantly seeks to do. In a never ending quest to see new things that she can transform into creativity and freeze beautiful moments forever in time is one of the few things that keeps her going.
- Memories: Having lost all of her memories Lorelei is seeking out a way to restore what had been taken from her. However even though she may not outright say it, for some reason she feels like there must be a reason why she had lost them all in the first place and is afraid that she won't like what she discovers.
Fears:
- Natural Lighting: Lorelei has a phobia of natural lighting. (more info in the negative trait, phobia)
- Mutilation: Losing her hands would be the final nail in the coffin for Lorelei. It is her only means to express herself and communicate with people, leaving her unable to interact with people should they ever be lost.

- Proud (-1): You don't like accepting help from others. If a gift or offer of aid smacks of charity or pity even the slightest bit, you grow indignant and refuse it.
- Derangement/Insanity (-12):
Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder: This illness manifests in one of two main forms, obsessive thoughts or compulsive actions; some characters exhibit both.
Obsessions: The beauty of music has enchanted Lucretia, filling the void in her mind where ever there is spare room as it both inspires her and enslaves her to its enthralling grace. Whenever there is music playing she begins to get an itch to join in, compelling her to at the very least tip her foot or nod her head while in other times the music fills her mind so much that it can overwhelm the more minor details or thoughts floating around in her mind. There is not one moment in her life where some song or tone is not playing in her head, resulting in random dances or urges to play the song when she is currently unoccupied.
Compulsions: Spelling is life, spelling is understanding, spelling dictates not only her ability to communicate her feelings but for others to understand them. A single misspelled word could warp the entire meaning of the subject she was talking about, the wrong choice of wordings could make the conversation go on about something that she has no idea that she is even talking about. Not only that but writing out her every thought on paper can also result in major misunderstandings if she is not able to think over it in her mind first due to the written form being unable of conveying emotions or sarcasm properly. As such whenever she is faced with a spelling error on her end or on someone else's she has the uncontrollable urge to claw out the misspelled word if it can no be salvaged and do it correctly.
Phobia: Thunder is so majestic, so inspiring and sends a shiver of fear and awe down the spines of mortal. It commands the attention of anyone and anything that hears it, overpowering all other sounds in its wake. However much she loves the sound of thunder and the beauty it can add to the world, it is the wild lighting fluttering above the sky that sends fear down her spine. As the harbinger to the sound in nature that she loves so much, the fact that just before the thunder comes are the moments of fear and terror at the sight of lighting. Wild, unpredictable bolts of plasma that could crash down at any moment and obliterate anyone it touches. Even when she can't see the lighting itself the mere announcement of thunder signals its presence when indoors, resulting in the fear and enthralling enchantment of its sounds mixing together to force both emotions into her entire being simultaneously.
Bipolar Mood Disorder: When being pushed past her limits or experiencing a stage of intense shock Lorelei's personality visibily changes from the kind and quiet young woman to something darker, more sinister and menacing. This new side of her is a fragment of when she still had her memories, when she was another person entirely and as cruel as nature itself. The cold shell left in control of her body is brutal in its methods and a predator in every sense of the word, caring little except for its own survival and the destruction its threats.
- Amnesia (-1): You are unable to remember anything about your past, yourself, or your family. Your life is a blank slate. However, your past may someday come back to haunt you. The rest of the flaws you pick are unknown to your character; over the course of your progress, your character will slowly discover them.
Magic: Ocean Siren
Caster or Holder: Caster-type
Description: All of the waves bow down before the ocean's siren, a mage who has the powers of the vast seas and utilizes their complete domination over all forms of water. It is a versatile and ancient magic that can use its powers to create not only offensive and defensive spells, but also heal organic creatures composed mainly of water. The water that the caster produces has a faint glowing tint that appears and disappears.
Strengths: Water based magic is highly versatile, water magic in the hands of a Siren is terrifying with their superior degree of control. They are able to produce and manipulate it into all states of matter in order to create defensive spells, offensive spells, bodily debuff spells, or even close the wounds of organics composed of water in addition to its ability to manipulate water to the point of making it akin to an extension of herself along with her spells growing more near large bodies of water.It is powerful against fire and heat based magics, able to put them out and diminish their strength. Finally the user is able to gather water from vapor and condense it for spells and other uses.
Weaknesses: While the Ocean Siren's magic is strong, it also holds a weakness towards stone based magic, due to its sturdy nature and ability to withstand the effects of water. While in nature water is capable of tearing away rocks and carving entire canyons, it is a process that takes a large amount of time; resulting in any attack that the ocean siren uses against stone magic being counted as one spell level lower than it would otherwise be.
V. HISTORY
History: The scent of the ocean filled the air as its waves would gently wash ashore in a soothing rhythm while the crescent moon glowed dimly in the sky. All alone in the middle of a beach with no clothing, items, or anything man made nearby can be a scary prospect for anyone who has no memories of such things. For someone whom wakes up with not only no memories of what happened, but no memories at all it is a terrifying situation; even more so when the person tries to call out for help only to be met with silence.
However no matter how quiet the world was there was one thing that would very nearly drive the woman insane, the quiet sound of music and singing slowly beginning to creep up into her mind. A song of the ocean and death, of sailors being lead to their demise by following a song... a prospect that would have her entire body growing white with fear at the thoughts of her death soon approaching. For nearly a week the nude woman would struggle through the island's jungles, trying to find something or someone to help her as the song constantly played inside of her head, filling every moment with its merry song of death and of a siren clawing its way inside of people's minds to lead them to their graves.
Finally she managed to stumble upon a village to help her, however as she got past the front gate to stare at the demonic inhabitants all of the energy she had left in her body faded away, leaving her to collapse before them. That was three years ago when her first memories were made, terrifying memories that would forever follow her. The villagers would take care of her and help her get back to her feet, and as time went on she would discover her creative talents and go on to make a living playing for people before joining the Magi Council.
What she has long forgotten however is the true meaning of the song that first echoed throughout her mind, filling her entire being with it to the point that she had taken the name in it for herself; never knowing that she had misspelled it when she took it for her own name. It was a song that she had came up with long ago in another country to spread throughout the ports, a song she made of how merchant ships would disappear along rocky coasts and secluded islands. Of how a lone siren would draw men in to her through her songs that spread across the vast ocean like moths to a flame only to watch them be to crash into rocks or capsize with her water magic. It was a song that she made about herself and her true name, the siren Loreley.
