Xara Rae Fishhel

### Killer Style

Gothic, dark colors, mixed in with a more natural look - such as the black seaweed wrap top she likes to wear.

### Monster Quirk

Her haunting voice: sometimes, Xara accidentally hypnotizes other monsters or sea creatures when she sings, although she doesn't mean to. It is why she has so sing alone most of the time.

### Pet

An undead zomb-guppy fish, who has a few bites out of it, like she does.

### Favorite Activity

Playing hide and seek with her pet zomb-guppy, looking for treasures in sunken ships or other various (dangerous) areas. Mostly, ones she's been told more than once to stay out of.

### Biggest Pet Peeve

When other monsters leave the area just because she's around, or she sees someone else being picked on for how they look - Xara can't stand that!

### Least Fav Subject

Anything related to math or a lot of numbers.

### Favorite Color

Shockingly, she loves the look of oil in the sunlight.

### Favorite Food

On land, she loves all things caramel or dragonfruit. In the water, she loves seaberries and sometimes likes to eat the nectar from sealillies.

## Biography

### Personality

She is a quiet, more reserved girl. She keeps to herself, and is mostly interested in observing the world around her if she isn't absorbed in her art, writing in her diaries, or her music at the time.

### Appearance

Her skin is a very pale, almost washed out blue-ish grey color, very see-through and delicate. Her skeleton show through both her skin and her tail, which is covered in scales that are dark in color but thinner than those of other mermaids' tails. The fins on the end and on the sides are also dark in color, but have been torn and frayed in places from where she has been caught in places while swimming - her tail fins have a bite out of them that will never heal, where she had encountered a shark that thought she looked like something good for dinner. Her eyes are rather odd, and accented in water-proof eyeshadow (of mostly blue or deep purple colors) and very black water-proof eyeliner. Xara's hair is mainly a dark blue and purple in color, but in the sunlight looks more like an oil spill that is sparkling in the sunlight on the ground in a parking lot. The small scales on her skin are scattered like freckles, very soft in comparison even to the ones on her tail, and quite similar in color as well.

When it comes to her style of clothes, she usually likes to wear darker colors and things more considered 'goth' or mixed in with things that are found within aquatic plant life or nature.

### History

When Xara was a little merchild, she swam around exploring the areas of the sea that she grew up in. She was one of the more 'rare' mermaids, able to transform to having legs on land rather than keeping her tail. While she didn't exactly know that for a long time, it was something that she picked up on when she was finally able to begin approaching the surface. Caught in a net left behind in a sunken fisherman's boat, she landed on the beach during a storm and was rescued by some other monsters who could go between the land and the water like she could. She has been going back and forth between *Monster High* and *High Seas High* when she is up on the surface to visit the ones who saved her.

## Relationships

### Family

Her mother was a dark mermaid, and her father was a skeleton/ghost monster.

### Friends

Her main friends are the monsters who saved her when she ended up on land during the storm; she had come to know some others other than them, though. *(They're a bit of a WIP..)* Although, she has, in the past, had friends underneath the sea, too. They just don't speak to her anymore.

**Fable Reef:** They met by chance, one day while Xara was out exploring an old shipwreck. She was caught off guard by Fable's arrival, and fully expecting the other monster to swim away from her in fear. When that didn't happen, Xara let her guard down a little bit and watched as Fable came closer to her. It was strange to her that someone else would want to, but she's found herself glad that it happened. They've been friends ever since!

### Romance

Xara hasn't been in a relationship yet, she's very shy and still kind of figuring herself out. She'd convinced herself that even being a monster, she might be too creepy, even for other monsters - given that her skin is so see through and she is essentially a skeleton with a few layers over her, as she thinks of herself.

### Enemies

Her main enemies are the sharks who have tried on multiple occasions to make her their meals - Xara's not too fond of sharks because of that, in particular, Great Whites or anything even remotely close to being their size.

## Trivia

* Xara was based on an x-ray fish, in particular, the x-ray Tetra.
* The scientific name of the fish she is based upon, *Pristella maxillaris,* was going to be the basis for her name, and may still be used later on for another OC.
* She has some attributes added to her that come from things her creator/author likes, or how she is as a person - such as her personality, and her love of more 'gothy' type clothing.
* Her name is pronounced "Ecks-ARE-ah Ray Fish-el" and is a play off what she was based off of, which is 'x-ray fish.' (Essentially, it is a pun of sorts.)
