Zlakia is active and can't keep silent for long except among the animals of the forest, there she speaks there langauge and keep silent so she can observe them without scaring them.

[Celest]

Name: Raelyn Sevan
Gender: Female
Age: unknown
Species: mermaid
Family: unknown

Personality: Raelyn knew how to be appealing and welcoming, but that was her greatest tool. Underneath it all she was mischievous. She relished in the knowledge of knowing anyone that stepped near the waters edge could easily be seduced and pulled under the water for a deadly, but entertaining, game. There were other merpeople under the surface of the sea-green water, but they didn't take the same satisfaction in her cruel antics.

History: These merpeople were not the kind in story books; they were not family oriented and dependent on one another. This species valued independence and forging one's own future. Records of age or family were not kept because that knowledge may hinder one's independence. Every so often there would be one merperson who would try to keep their age by the number of solar eclipses they have seen which happens about once ever year and half. If Raelyn had to guess her age she would say maybe.. 22 or 24 eclipses. She never cared for her age; it was trivial in her mind.

Yes, she had a family, but she didn't know where they were. All she knew was they pushed her from their home around her second or third eclipse. Raelyn was excited to be rid of something that held her down. She was always being the rebel in their rule-less colony, and she knew it. After swimming through masses expanse of ocean for many eclipses, she found a colony who had been changing the ways of the past. At first this colony was novel, and the feeling of being accepted, wanted, and cherished was something Raelyn thought she could get used to this new life, but when the leader of the colony marked her as 'matchless', she left.

The next colony she found was based just outside of a cove. That colony was like the one from the times of her lesser eclipses, and that is where Raelyn stayed. The cove was where many when, and sometimes women, lost their lives to the charm of her mystery.

Goal/purpose: Live the rest of her eclipses for instant gratification.

Appearance: Chocolate brown hair that was long enough to cover her bare chest with mother of pearl shells braided every so often into her hair. Raelyn had dazzling green eyes that could be equated to emeralds. Her tale was an exquisite silver color that led down into fins that were as graceful and delicate looking as Siamese fighting fish.

History: Born strange, got stranger, went on vacation with his family to this island where they thought he died after falling off some cliffs into the water. He didn't. He was left on the island to boop around like the nutcase he is. Sometimes he'll amuse tourists and take pictures for them, but for some reason he always rubs his hands on trees after taking photos. He loves mangoes. Most of the time he is traipsing about trying to find Robinson Crusoe.

Age: 23

Species: Human

Family: mother- Rose, father- Kyle, brother- Ashton

History: The youngest in her small family. Was born two years after her brother. Her brother would always take her out whenever he went to the park or to the woods that surround their town. They have a close bond. In their teen years, the two became interested in spelunking and other activities.

Current Goal/Purpose: She and Ashton decided to explore a cave near their hometown, as celebration for Lenalee's graduation from College. Entering the cave, they discovered that it goes deep into the earth, ultimately opening up into a beautiful forest. However, they soon discover that the forest contains a tribe of cannibals.

While running away from the hunters, who wield wooden spears and poison darts, Ashton and Lenalee became seperated. Lenalee manages to escape, but finds out that her brother is nowhere near her. She knows that calling out to him would get her in danger, she also knows that he'd be screaming if he were being hurt (unless he's been poisoned of course).

Going against her instincts to find the cave and leave, she begins to search for her brother.
