Playby: Kristin Kreuk
Name:Daliah Alithia
Age:22
Sex:Female
Sexual Orientation:Heterosexual
Species:Fable Mutant, Mermaid
Physical Description:
In her human form, Daliah stands at five feet and seven inches tall. She has straight, light brown hair that reaches a few inches from the middle of her back. She has beautiful golden hazel eyes that shin brilliantly in light. Her skin is lightly tanned, but not overly so. She has a thin build with minor tone. Daliah has delicate features with her slightly oval face, her fully pout lips, and long eye lashes that complement her eyes greatly. She has a wonderful smile but she rarely ever does.
Attitude:
Daliah is generally a shy mermaid who doesn’t like to be bothered. Due to things that have happened to her in the past she isn’t fond of people and has a hard time trusting them, even though her ability helps her know who she can trust. So in a way she feels she can’t trust her own ability’s. The one thing she fears the most if being dragged somewhere and being hurt or experimented on. Water, of course, is where she is most comfortable and feels the safest. Her first years were spent alone so she had to learn to take care of herself; she thought she was doing a pretty good job of it till she was taken.
Water is the place where she knows she belongs and she does love it, but at time she feels trapped by it. She can become human for 4 hours a day, and every time she does its gets harder for her to go back to it. Being out of the water and walking around gives her a sense of freedom and makes her feel a little less lonely. She enjoys gifts, and gets them often when she sings. Her favorite things are things she can see her reflection in and things that sparkle in the light. She keeps everything at the bottom of the lake.
Abilities:
As a mermaid, she is strongest and fastest in water. Not even water elemental can hope to swim as fast as she can. She can feel someone’s pain and their sorrow, but this only works when she lays her hand on someone. She can stay underwater for however long she wants, being a mermaid natural lets her breath underwater. She can speak to any creature the lives in the water, be it fish, frogs, or anything else.
In her human form she is more helpless; She has no speed or strength to protect herself and would not last long in a fight if it came to it. She can stay human for up to 2 hours, after that she turns back into a mermaid. If she doesn’t get back into the water then she would be dead within an hour or time.
Weaknesses: (Include all species weaknesses and 3 personal flaws/weaknesses.)
History:
The first years of Daliah’s life were in the ocean of course. There was no sign of anyone who she could call parents or if she ever had parents. How she came into existence was a mystery to her. For years she had to learn to find food and fend for herself. She learned quickly to hide from the predators of the sea. Daliah tried to make friends with other fish and some of the more gentle creatures, but most avoided her. Later, when she found out she had the ability to speak to them, was she able to calm them and gain their trust.
Once she gained their trust she felt less alone in the world. Everything seemed perfect until one day when she got caught in a rebel couples net. it was her first time seeing humans and she was afraid of them but amazed at the same time. The couple was confused about her and discussed whether or not to kill her. When they looked at her they didn’t have the heart to kill her and decided to adopt her, since they had no children of their own.
The couple would teach her to read, write, and talk in secrecy while in exchange; Daliah would use her affinity to bring them fish. When she was nine years of age, the mermaid’s ‘mother’ gave her a necklace. It was a simple thing, just a thin piece of rope with a small pearl attached to it. That day, she was named Daliah. The couple hid Daliah’s existence a secret and would only go to her when they were fishing. They did not wish for their daughter to be harmed by the fellow rebels. Within two years, the rebels were suspicious of the amount of fish they were gathering and soon found out about Arianna’s existence.
There was debate whether to kill the mermaid or allow her to live, but they allowed her to live due to the amount of food she was able to gather from the sea. Daliah, for the first time in her life, was happy. She finally had a real family. This was short lived when she turned twelve. Daliah was gathering fish and when she surfaced from the deep blue…she felt as if she was going to die. The rebel base was bursting with flames…creatures with deformed skin were feeding on the rebels. She caught the site of her parents and saw die in front of her eyes. Daliah wanted nothing more than to help them…but she couldn’t…Daliah was once again…alone…with nothing but the pearl around her neck to remind her of her parents.
Daliah spent the next few days resurfacing from the ocean…hoping her parents would somehow come back to her. She then saw men in black gear come to the rebel base, gathering supplies and some saw the mermaid. A group of them immediately sprang into actions and captured Daliah where she was transported to New Vegas. She was sent to the laboratory for experimentation where a tall blond man caught sight of her. The way he looked at her was as if she was a goddess. He was infuriated with the men in white coats and brought her to the pond in what was known as The Sanctuary. There, in the daylight hours, many people from New Vegas come to see her sing in exchange for shiny and beautiful objects.
During the night, humans who wish to tease and mock her often attack Daliah. When she is unable to defend herself, Daliah swims to the bottom of the pond where she hides. But…she knows someone always guards her. She can never see who her secret guardian is…but what she knows…is that he moves like thunder. Daliah hopes one day to meet her guardian and thank him for what he has done for her. The mermaid often sings at night, hoping to draw him in. She has yet to find him but often feels as if she is being watched…
