cry a river and flood the sea
cry a river over me
take the bitter with the sweet
and cry a river over me
I hope you will think of me
when tender winds blow
sit on the shores of love
and just let it go
- Amy Grant, "cry a river"

Personality
There is a deep sadness to Mermaid, a brokenness the shadow of a deep emotional cut that never entirely healed. None the less she is an optimistic sort, kind-hearted, warm, loving and probably too trusting. She couldn’t hurt a fly and tries he hardest to get along with everyone. It is her way to look for good in everyone no matter how cruel they seem to be. She adores children and has very fond memories of the ocean.
Mental/Emotional Strengths: she can find hope in the darkest hour and good in the cruelest soul
Mental/Emotional Weakness: she trusts too quickly and breaks too easily
History
Mermaid was born by the ocean and grew up playing in the waves. She loves the ocean, dreams of it at night and will probably only be truly happy when she comes to live by it again. He childhood herd was a normal one of middling size and truly unremarkable. Love captured her heart towards the end of her second year, he was an outlander-rouge, clever, handsome and an all around gentleman but he did not fit in well there. Deagor had too much of a need for adventure in him he was always doing crazy things and the elders constantly accused him of corrupting the young ones. A year after their meeting they had a child who was born sickly and only survived a few weeks. Deagor died not long after while helping to fend off an attack by a roaming bachelor band. Mermaid tried to go on with her life as usual but in the end could not, there were too many memories there, too much sadness and so she left and has since been wandering without purpose or destination.
Act One
She arrived in Shadow Mountains lonely and lost and met a man named Keiran. He was new and interesting, a little frightening even but she trusted him and joined him after a time. They did not have the chance to get to know each other well for disaster struck Shadow Mountains forcing those who whished to live to flee. She has experienced a black out or two since then, courtesy of a head wound now healed, and so does not recall the Mountains or her time with Keiran. As far as her memory is concerned she never stopped fleeing her home land…
Act Two
Her time in Reykjavik was even shorter than her time in Shadow Mountains. She met a man named Merlin who she probably could have come to trust maybe even love but the land of Reykjavik was dying and she did not feel it wise to stay. She could sense loss and heartbreak lurking just beyond the next sunrise and so she passed on by never to know what she might be missing...
Act Three
There might be one someday…
