# Korreliss

      Korreliss is the biromantic omnisexual female shopkeeper from Erelandia, and later, the mayor of Erelandia. She loves mushrooms and keeps her own store for them. She loves watching the way that the mushrooms grow, and she loves the fresh air of the wilderness in general. She takes walks frequently in the woods, to gather mushrooms, but also for personal enjoyment.

## Personality

Korreliss is cheerful and bright, however, she can be very protective over her citizens. She will demand answers and not stop until she gets them, to fulfill her endless desire to understand. She can come off as standoffish and arrogant, but she really does mean well and only does it for the good of others. As the daughter of a mushroom shop owner, she got to experience meeting a lot of different kinds of people when they stopped by her shop, and that was an interesting experience for her. Speaking with different people got her to see their different points of view. Seeing their different thoughts, the way they behaved and spoke, and she really got to analyze how that was influenced by their past experiences. This is why, when she gets in tough situations, she always tries to think in as many ways as she can. She could see all the drops of colors drop and swirl and fly in midair, all of them working in so many different ways, when she heard people spoke. She has color-sound synesthesia, and sometimes she associates certain sounds with certain colors. As a result, she can act annoyed seeing particular colors, or happy for others. She is also very "nitpicky" and has this instinct to correct others on their grammar, or petty mistakes. She has OCD and this is something she can't help, but she's been taunted various times for this as a child. This brought one of the reasons she preferred to hang in isolation, in the woods, rather than with her peers. She loved to meet adults, she loved seeing what they did with their life, and she always enjoyed imagining what it would be like if she were them, it was fascinating for her to see. But children, she felt that she never belonged with them, not while she was a child, because she never acted the way they did, and for that reason, they didn't like her. To them she was something unfamiliar and as people who were afraid of change, they didn't bother to ever talk to her. She did school, but she felt burnt and hollow inside, with no one sprinkling a bit of happiness, to make that different. She eventually grew not to care, because she saw that even though adults were very aware of their surroundings, they cared less. She wanted to be like that too, and she succeeded, but really she was just trying to hide to herself how sad she was.

## Relationships

### Allya

Allya is Korreliss's assistant. Korreliss trusts Allya with everything, and Allya is constantly watching the town and keeping Korreliss updated. She also files papers for Korreliss, but because she personally wants to. Korreliss made a huge fuss about how everything should always be done fairly and thus by choice, when she got elected mayor.

### Fareejhi

Fareejhi is Korreliss's daughter, who she does not collaborate with well. They two don't get along very often, because Fareejhi always wants to do something that Korreliss doesn't, and Korreliss makes too many assumptions when she tries to understand why Fareejhi acts the way she is, but Fareejhi doesn't tell her. This made her think that Fareejhi didn't trust her, and so she made this lack of trust mutual. She says it's to make things fair, but really it's just that she is sad that Fareejhi doesn't trust her, and is very jealous of Fareejhi's relationship with her other mother, an Elberon florist named Frangipani.

### Frangipani

Frangipani is Koreliss's wife, and an elberon florist.

## Backstory

Korreliss grew up to a very local family, not rich but not poor. She had pretty good grades in school, however, growing up she didn't have many friends. Many children friends, that is... she always asked about how others were doing, not because she had nothing better to say, but because she genuinely cared about them. She wanted feedback because it mattered to her, and she'd say things to try to make others better. She also hung around quite often in the woods, taking care of not only the citizens but also the animals that occupied the land. This is why she grew up to become the mayor of Erelandia. She never hung around her peers really often, so they thought she would lose, as someone who wasn't a popular elective. She thought the same. But she fought for her job nonetheless, because deep down inside, she knew she would be a successful leader. She knew she could help others, because, from talking to them, she had understood them, and importantly, she had helped them in significant ways. She was shopkeeper for a year or two, then she decided that that wasn't really what she wanted to do. She walked around town with all her usual stops, and she decided to make a visit to town hall, perhaps to take a look at some changes being made to the town. When she got there, she saw that the mayor was frail and weary, and couldn't keep up the work much longer. That's when she realized, she was no longer the little girl crying in the corner. When she got to know others better, she changed. She opened up to more than just people who opened up to her now, she would voluntarily go to others and ask them about how their day has been. Soon, she could even make simple chat with her peers. She wanted to talk about and do everything. The mayor told her that she would be a good mayor, and it provoked her thoughts. She thought about how much she loved her town. She would be honored to serve them. She cared about the community enough to stay and try to help it. She had shown that so much, by dedicating her time and energy to really improve and grow the community. She had looked at and was a part of the community long enough to know how the individual people within them think and react to what situation, and understanding why. She was a leader, not from the control she received or showing the impressive honor, but because she had an ardent passion to help. She saw her villagers' wants and needs, how necessary or important each one is, and to listen and speak thoughts about it with the community. She would execute those plans as discussed. She was always a mayor of Erelandia. She might not have fancy files or a title, but it was the way she acted that made her who she was. On the day of her inauguration, she said,  "You all are wonderful, incredible, brilliant people in so many different types of ways. You all deserve to be happy for what you are. In the end, it doesn't matter what the darker voices say you are. In the end, those voices only evaporate, because they are worthless. YOU get to decide who you are. YOU get to tell yourself that you are really better than those dark voices can every describe. Those voices. Do not. Matter.

It MATTERS that you are aware of who you are, what you are, what power you possess. You are courageous and strong for enduring in all your battles in life. Everyone has different ones. And if you believe, just believe, there's a way you can win. You're amazing in so many ways all at the same time, more words than I can fit here. But you can fit them all in your beaming light of a soul."
