Cerulean Ordania is a human cursed to be a mer that is currently residing in the Clocktower.

## Appearance

Cerulean has two forms: a human form and a mer form. His human form is pretty simple. Cerulean has light brown skin and dark brown-black hair that is slightly longer at the back. His eyes were originally dark brown, but became indigo-colored after he was cursed. He comes in at around 5’8” and is rather skinny with not much muscle in this form. Cerulean usually wears a dark blue lightweight hoodie, a silver respirator around his neck, black pants and boots, and indigo fingerless gloves. A blue sash goes across his body from his right shoulder to his left hip, which holds his axe-like weapon. In his mer form, black-purple scales cover almost the entirety of his body, except for his hands and head. He has a pair of long lilac-colored fins that go from his shoulder blades all the way down to about the middle of his tail, and he has two more pale fins that are on his hips. Three metallic-like spines, all in row, jut out from his back. He has 5 gills on each side of his neck that run down his shoulders, and he has indigo-colored webbing between his fingers. He has a tail instead of legs, of course, with an indigo colored tail fin. He keeps his weapon and respirator in his mer form.

## Personality

Cerulean, unlike his sister, is a calm and quiet person. He tends to keep to himself, not speaking unless he has to give information or if he just wants to talk. He doesn’t like crowds due to his sensitive ears and prefers being alone. He’s more of a pessimist than anything, and he’s a bit of a worrywort as well. He tends to try to forget about his past, but sometimes his parents’ harsh words intrude his thoughts. He tries to put up a front that is calm and collected, however, it can quickly disappear when he's talking about magic. Cerulean is also pretty analytical and observant, and has more tact with speaking than his sibling. He also sometimes can be a bit cocky when his battles are going his way. Cerulean also loves music; not just because of his magic, but also because it helps him think better.

## Powers/Abilities

Cerulean can change to and from his mer form at will. He can breathe underwater, swim quickly, see clearly underwater, and even glide above the water like a flying fish in his mer form. In both forms, Cerulean has access to “spellsongs,” as he likes to call them; spells that are cast by different melodies he sings. So far, he knows a spellsong that can manipulate water, a spellsong that allows him to heal wounds, and a spellsong that can allow him to summon and redirect a lightning bolt when it’s storming. He learns how to cast these spellsongs by listening to the world around him and finding the hidden song in each action that only he can hear. However, Cerulean does have a weakness: he gets dehydrated very easily, and thus, he must swim every couple of hours to survive. His respirator helps him stay on land for a longer time, since it sucks in moisture from the air to help him breathe easier, but it does not allow him to permanently stay on land.

According to Time, Cerulean does have some hidden magical potential within him. However, he hasn't unlocked that potential yet...

## Backstory

Cerulean was born to Blaise and Delta Ordania, five minutes after his twin sister. Cerulean was technically a prince of the island, since his father was the chief, but his parents would deny it. He was a sickly kid who was almost always bedridden, unless his parents would force him to learn how to fight or it was a very special ceremony. His parents would usually call him useless and weak for his sickliness, which made Cerulean believe he was on occasion.

However, the one good thing in his life was his twin sister, Scarlett. Scarlett would always make sure to have time in the day to hang out with Cerulean and take care of him. The two would talk about their dreams of the future, and how Cerulean wanted to be an explorer who learned how to do magic, like some of the protagonists he read about in books. He also learned that Scarlett wanted to explore the world, too; but as a sword fighter, not a mage like Cerulean wanted to be or a chieftess like their parents wanted her to be. The two bonded over this, making them closer than other siblings that they knew in their village.

Then the hurricane came. Cerulean almost drowned when the storm surges came, since he never learned how to swim. His parents tried to escape with him in tow, but they quickly drowned in their attempt. Cerulean almost thought he was going to drown, too… until he heard a quiet song softly ring through his ears. He had always had sensitive hearing, but he had never heard a song quite like the one he heard that day. It was full of power, almost like it was some sort of magic. He quickly blacked out after listening to it, thinking that he was still going to drown.

But when he woke up, he was suddenly a creature that his parents tried to scare him with: a mer. Creatures of the sea that could make a ship crash into dangerous rocks and control nature with their voices. Cerulean spent the next week adjusting to his new mer-like form and surviving in the sea. He foraged for food, swam with fish, and even taught himself how to use some spells with his voice, or as he liked to call them, “spellsongs.” In the ocean, he wasn’t the same sickly kid as he was before. He was powerful and fast and free, and he could explore uncharted seas without fear of drowning. But he was still lonely.

Then about a week after the hurricane, he found himself singing above the surface, trying to summon a bolt of lightning from the sky from one of his spellsongs. A boat came over to investigate the noise, and Cerulean tried to hide from the person on deck. When he realized it was Scarlett, though, he practically jumped out of the water in joy. The pair of twins reunited, and soon, they were off to explore the world like they always dreamed.

## In GGaD

Scarlett's and Cerulean's Intro Thread -- Scarlett and Cerulean meet Germaine, Time, Samuel, and Ark in a coastal city of the Modern Sect. The two learn about watches, and Cerulean almost faints with the lack of water. The group moves to a cove, in which Cerulean turns into his mer form and becomes hopeful of finding the person who cursed him because of Time.

Arrival at the Clocktower  -- Time visits Cerulean and Scarlett when they're out travelling. Time tells Cerulean that he sensed a lot of untapped magic in the human-turned-mer, and offers him to help release that magic at the Clocktower. The twins then meet Lianhuan, Yvonne, and Chronos, and also get some ice cream along the way.
