Lenora

## Backstory

Lenora originally hails from the warm waters of the Caribbean Sea, where she assisted her fellow merfolk as a messenger and courier between the many mermaid kingdoms. After spending many years in this life, and traveling all over the ocean, Lenora became curious to see what life on land was about. After finding some nearby land on which to start her journey, Lenora met a very important friend who helped her achieve her goal. Lila the Lavender Faerie and Lenora became friends but had trouble hanging out. That is when the two put their magic together and created a string of enchanted bells which allowed Lenora to choose when or if she wished to trade her tail for a set of human legs, even after getting wet.

Lenora took up residence for a while in a cove located in Petit Lyon. She lived here for many years, learning the languages and habits of humans. She was mostly content here for many years until once again, adventure called out to her. Lenora wished to see more of the world, and thus she befriended a group of human travelers. Lenora also reconnected with her faerie friends, and was invited to cause mischief with them as well.

Even among Lenora's travels, she continued to visit her former home in Petit Lyon, and could often be found sunning herself on a rock in her cove. Lenora is also a known member of the Cult of the Pumpkin.

## Appearance

Lenora is a beautiful mermaid with pale skin and shimmering scales. Unlike some merfolk, which are known for having long, flowing locks, Lenora’s head is covered only by lines of sparkly scales, as well as whatever crown she chooses to wear. No one is certain to why or how this mermaid is bald though. Some say only her barber knows. She never gives a straight answer to those who ask. Whether she is in her fully aquatic form, with a tail, or her humanoid form with legs, Lenora has glittering scales along her forehead and cheekbones.

When Lenora is fully aquatic, she will decorate her body and tail with bits of kelp and seaweed, which she has woven onto a piece of net. Although her natural tail color is a sparkling purple and blue, she does have the power to make it look different when she wants to.

Lenora’s human form looks nearly identical to the form she takes as a mermaid. She keeps her pale skin and facial scales, with the only noticeable change being the obvious swapping of her tail for a set of human legs. She has always taken a liking to brightly colored clothing, especially in her favorite shade of blue, just like the ocean.

## Personality

Lenora is a mischievous and fun loving creature. She enjoys playing games, whether that be with her human friends or local marine life. She has a good sense of humor, and has been known to pull pranks. Her energy levels have a tendency to fluctuate, as some days she can be seen dancing excitedly while others are spent in a cloak burrito. The only pattern observed so far is that she seems to thrive in warmer climates. She is strangely known to be a good dancer, which is quite impressive considering that she is still relatively new at having feet.

## Relationships

#### The Pumpkin: God

Lenora is a loyal worshipper of the pumpkin. She has been known to take on the role of Gourdian on more than one occasion by balancing the pumpkin upon her head.

#### Ondina: Friend

Ondina is one of the other mermaids that was commonly found in the cove of Petit Lyon, and one of Lenora's close friends. The two of them were often seen looking out for one another, playing games, or making music with Seashells.

#### **First Mate Fisk: Husband**

Lenora and Fisk were married in the practice of Pumpkinamory. They can be seen wandering Petit Lyon together at times.

### Travelers

Lenora does not limit her social circle to just one species. When she is not stuck on a rock, or watching over the other mermaids, she can often be found dancing and causing mischief with the local band of travelers. Some even say she has made plans to explore the world with them.

#### **Volyana: Friend**

Lenora met and befriended Volyana recently while she was wandering around Petit Lyon. After Volyana convinced her to marry, Lenora became very intrigued with the way Volyana used sharp, pointy objects. Lenora has started to learn the art of fighting, thanks to her new friend Volyana.

### Fairies

Lenora has been known to frolic with the fairies frequently. She loves joining them for shenanigans. Sometimes, they even gift her the magic for wings to make their mischievous plans easier.

#### **Lila the Lavender Faerie****: Friend**

Lenora and Lila have been close ever since Lila's arrival into Petit Lyon. At first it was difficult for them to see each other, as Lenora had a tail and Lila couldn't get her wings wet. The two friends put their brain cell together to come up with a solution. They found that they could combine their magic and create a strand of bells that could allow Lenora to choose between her human form and her mermaid form whenever she pleases, even when wet. The two can very often be heard before they are seen, due to their bells. This makes their shenanigans a little less discreet, but they commit to them anyway.

#### **Honey the Yellow Faerie: Friend**

Lenora and Honey have been friends longer than most. It is unknown how they have known each other so long, as faeires cannot get their wings wet and Lenora is still new to having legs, thanks to Lila's bell strand. These two friends are often seen playing games together, holding hands for some reason, and snacking on pickles.

#### **Berry the Blue Faerie**: **Friend**

Berry and Lenora bonded quickly over the color blue, as that is mostly the color they are. Berry was also very intrigued as to why a mermaid is bald. The other mermaids Berry has met have long hair, so what's the deal? Somehow, this matter was resolved and no one knows how or why. Regardless, this pair loves to frolic and cause mischief together with their other fae friends.
