Lorelei is a timid and easily excitable character on the Afterglow SMP. She is played by solarficial.

## Physiology

### Physical Appearance

Lorelei is a calico cat and human hybrid, with a long spotted tail and similarly colored cars. She's relatively lean and skinny, and her skin is abnormally pale. Her eyes are a clouded grey, and the crown of sunflowers on her head is purposefully slanted down to cover her left pupil. Multiple small bruises and bandages dot her body as a result of her clumsy nature. Lorelei is typically seen wearing a dark purple sweater and a much lighter pair of silk shorts, complete with mismatched orange, black and white leg warmers.

### Biology

Lorelei is considered a half cat, half human hybrid. She walks on two legs and appears relatively human, however her mannerisms present her to be more of a house cat, such as not liking water and being prone to cuddle with people when they appear upset.

## Character

### Personality

Lorelei is naturally weak and proverse to fighting. She tends to avoid ever getting hurt due to her low pain tolerance and is also very skittish and easy to startle. This habit developed less so out of any traumatic event and more just her natural instincts. She hates violence and would rather avoid conflict entirely; however, she’ll regretfully concede if there seems to be no other option. Lorelei is also very giving and hospitable, offering her home and resources to anyone who appears to be in need. She demonstrates very feline-esque features, such as her quick reflexes and jumping off of high surfaces with little to no abandon. She also has an affinity for catnip and other similar herbs.

### Backstory

Lorelei was born into quite a large family, being the exact middle child of 9 siblings alongside her mother and father. Her clowder lived in a small village out in the wilderness, where she learned to grow her own food as well as how to take proper care of the plants and animals around her. Lorelei immediately developed a deeply rooted care for smaller and more dainty creatures at a young age, and this affinity only grew as she got older and began to properly experience the world. She would even go as far as to sneak them into her house if they were injured or starved and nurse them back to help, typically enlisting her younger siblings for assistance to keep the animals hidden from her parents. As protective as her guardians were, she lived a relatively calm and happy life before the events of Afterglow: Generations. On Lorelei's 19th birthday, she was ushered out of her home by her parents, being instructed not to return until she'd matured and had accomplished something she could be proud of.

### Alignment

Lorelei is Neutral Good. Her main goal is to provide comfort and safety for those who cannot care for themselves. This makes her reinforce her habit of giving "too much," such as sacrificing her food, shelter, and happiness for others. Because of where and how she was raised, Lorelei is much more intimidated into to follow the rules rather than following them because she truly believes in them.

## Miscellaneous

### Trivia

* Lorelei, while instinctually being prone to hunting and eating meat, considers herself vegetarian and will refuse to eat meat under any circumstance. She especially seems to have a distaste for chicken.
* Lorelei seems to lack general knowledge of the world around her. She was unaware of what ice cream and a majority of meals were until the arrival of the Afterglow SMP members.
* All of the cats that reside inside of Lorelei's treehouse are all named after one of her nine siblings, excluding Tiger.
* Presumably because of her half-cat nature, Lorelei does not like the rain or swimming in waist deep water.
* Lorelei has established she is colorblind, with purple and red being her favorite colors due to them being the only ones she can properly see.
