## Appearance

Sakana stands at around 5'5 feet tall, at around 165 centimetres. Unlike her father, Sakana is incapable of changing her appearance and overall gender. She usually has the dark brown hair, chest length she obtained from her mother loose, with a smaller braid tied with a dark pink hair band. Floating her head is a heart-shaped ahoge. Sakana has tanned skin, with a pair of light violet color fins as ears and a purple fish tail behind her legs, similar to Raptor's. She has scales blending in with her skin, usually of purple, cyan and dark blue. Sakana is usually seen wearing dark, turquoise and blue clothes, most notably a striped sleeved turtleneck layered with a t-shirt that says "fish". She wears a pair of white socks as well as a pair of black Mary Janes. Around her right thigh, she wears a turquoise stringed anklet with a hot pink gem hanging. Sakana has a single blue eye and a hot pink eye, the latter being the result of her stay in her mother's coral imprisonment. Whilst trying to adjust to the trap, her eye's vision had blurred and changed color. She usually wears a cat-like smile on her face.

Her true form does not change much of her appearances. Under this form, her limbs detach but still function normally, they just float near where they should've been. On the end of the detached bit, an eye with a completely black sclera and a neon hot pink iris without pupils appears, but cannot see and only serves as an extra sensor, as it warns Sakana if a small creature gets close. Several more eyes with the same black sclera and multicolored neon irises with no pupils (but blind) appear all over her body, putting her total eye count at 16. These eyes are, like her mother's, illusions and aren't actually there, unlike the ones on her limbs, nothing but a "bioluminescent trick". (-Kustov), usually used to lure her opponents and prey towards her. Whilst in this form, Sakana's actual sclera turn void black, she gains more scales and her tail's size enlarge. When out of her form, Sakana's extra illusion eyes are closed, and look like nothing but markings the color of her skin, but slightly darker.

She is seen carrying flowers almost all of the time, mostly roses and Lilles of the Valley.

## Backstory

### Childhood

Born to Talirith, otherwise known as Raptor and Og'thakith, an eldritch sea creature, Sakana spent her first few months in a coral cave with her parents, where her mother was doomed to be trapped for an eternity.

The first month was perfectly fine, Sakana was growing like a normal, healthy child and showed no signs of trouble. However, around three months into her life, Sakana started to experience abnormal pain, often expressed through loud, high-pitched scream-cries. Raising the child grew to be more and more difficult, as it seemed that the cave trapping her mother would soon adapt to trap Sakana herself in as well, due to having her mother's nature and features.

It seemed fine at first, but when her ability to see clearly in her left eye was taken from her due to the ancient trap trying to adapt itself, changing its color and severely distorting her sight in that eye, her mother, Og'thakith decided that it would be best for her family to leave her behind and move to the surface. She was an old monster and did not look the most appealing, yes, but Og'thakith did not bear a cruel nature, and did not wish to see her daughter suffer as she did, nor did she want to see her husband crumble under the weight of her daughter's slowly worsening health. She requested that Talirith take the child, bring her to land and to raise her properly there. There was no other choice. Talirith honored her wish and took Sakana with him, leaving her behind.

Sakana had never seen her mother (or at the very least, remembered what she looked like due to having to move to the land at the age of 5 months), but had oftenly heard stories told by her father. Raised in a village near the sea, Sakana slowly grew back to her original, healthy state.

Unlike her father, whose origin and species quickly drew the hatred of others, Sakana was a popular child, loved amongst the village children and adults alike, despite her father, who people still disliked despite taking quite the liking to Sakana. Her mother was never revealed to the others, and the villagers assumed it was a human woman who died shortly after Sakana's birth. She quickly made friends, but made foes just as swiftly, due to some rude remarks. Sakana didn't care for her reputation; however, she did care for her dad.

### Early Teenage Years

Sakana grew up a popular child, due to her charisma and friendly, kind personality. However, as she grew up, she was known to have quite the hot temper. She got angry easily, and had frequent mood swings throughout her life.

She felt that the fact that she was loved in the village whereas her father was not was unfair, and often attempted to prove to the others that he was not as bad as they thought he was. However, despite her many attempts, the villagers refused to see Talirith in a different light. Sakana tried many tactics, some being threats and clear manipulation, but alas, to no avail.

However, the villagers never saw through her act of 'toughness', and only assumed she was simply trying to help her "monster of a father". She gave up after a while, but would still get pretty mad over the fact that her father was treated unfairly.

Growing up, she had slowly but surely developed a strange obsession: an obsession for flowers. Visits to gardens became more frequent; the amount of flowers in the garden rose (i'm funny), to the point where it grew concerning. To this day, she is seen almost always carrying flowers with her.

When she was around 10, Talirith had begun to make yearly visits to her mother. Every time, he would bring back some sea flowers that Og'thakith wanted to hand to Sakana. Sakana currently still keeps them, as they are her only part of her mother she would ever know after infancy.

### Late Teenage Years

Sakana's social life was rather easy in the village she was raised in with the help of her grandparents, strangely, despite her family's slander. Perhaps it were the rumours about her mother that made people sympathize with her, or maybe it was the aura radiating from her that made her stand out in a good way to others. Or could it have been the hidden eyes that attracted the people of the village, like how the light of anglerfish attracts its prey towards itself.

Unlike most teenagers, Sakana did not experience much mental change during puberty. She had never held any rage towards parents, unlike many others. She never felt much anger to begin with, and never seemed to get mad, adding on to her charisma. Sakana never really matured during this time either, and had instead developed an interesting sense of humour.

Sakana had recently turned 16 when she had snapped one day, no longer able to control herself after hearing things, terrible things people she had considered good friends had said about her dad. Her eyes opened, and without knowing she had housed these abilities, her limbs seperated from her torso, her fish tail enlargened and the scales spread, like ice slowly cracking, letting out an alarming ear-piercing screech, causing the eardrums of everyone within a 2 mile radius to gain damage. She had revealed her true form, discovering her hidden abilities, but with the cost of the entire village's disapproval and displeasure, forever becoming a reject in their eyes.

For the next few months, she had received the same harassment as her father had, but arguably worse. Death notes were sent to her, she was targeted and stayed inside for most times, unless it were to go to the garden or to school. She slowly adapted from an extroverted, sociable, friendly girl to a quiet, withdrawn outcast.

### "Raccoons"

Talirith's life during their time at the village, however, was not as easy. He had to earn a living somehow, but due to the village's disapproval of his existence altogether, it was difficult. Sakana, wanting to help, collected and fished up random items and sold them. She also decided to sell the flowers and other plants she grew in her garden. She had a strong bond with her flowers, but an even stronger one with her father. So, she decided to trade away her beloved flowers to make Talirith's life a little easier, a way of helping out her father, thanking him for everything he's done for her.

Soon, however, a few years before Sakana became unpopular, she met a group of three girls, who named themselves the Raccoons. The three girls were the only people who had never talked about Talirith in a negative way, which Sakana admired. The quadruple soon got close, and Sakana had soon discovered the original purpose of the group.

To steal.

All four girls belonged to families with problems that caused lack of money and well being, so the original three had decided to steal to help them out, selling the loot to travellers who came to visit. Sakana quickly agreed to join them, and to this day, doesn't regret it. Anything for her father. However, Sakana had never told Talirith the true origin of the money, claiming that it had been from her sales.

The group taught Sakana how to lie, steal easily and even defend herself, making her a stone axe. The axe still lies within Sakana's possesion, but is in condition too poor to be used again. So instead, she kept it, hoping to one day restore its durability and be able to use it again. Sakana's task within this group was often the distraction, whose job was to speak to the target, often travellers with precious items from their adventures whilst the others robbed him. She feels no remorse for doing so, as she believes that if people were this stupid, then they deserved it. Most of time, this was because she was popular within the village, an adored and trusted girl, so naturally, a friendly girl attempting to befriend new people wouldn't be out of the ordinary, right?

Sakana's group had successfully robbed many people, and were NEVER caught. Ever. To this day, the remaining members still continue their work, but were sad to see Sakana go, being one of the few people who did not resent her for her origins, and hope to see her again one day. Sakana feels the same way, hoping to see her few true friends again.

### Escape to a New Home

Her father was to leave the village and had invited her to join. On the high seas, Talirith had once again encountered his friend Aiden. Talirith had told his daughter that he was, too, to settle on the island, inviting her to come along. Sakana agreed.

She felt, exactly like Aiden and her father, drawn towards the island, despite having never seen it. Excited at the idea of a new home with new friends, possibly accepting people and escaping "this hellhole of a village and everyone in it", she accepted. As of present time they have both arrived at Blobbin Keep, the name of the island. Having escaped from her unaccepting village and unaccepting neighbors, a new life awaits.

## Abilities

Sakana is currently incapable of any magic outside of shifting forms, producing ear-piercing screams (don't ask sakana to do this in vc unless you want your eardrums to get infected) and making extremely, weirdly accurate mob noises. She is able to alter her voice to different pitches as well, and may unlock more abilities in the future.

## Personality

Sakana is mostly seen as a cheerful, sociable and extroverted girl. Seen smiling all the time, she never seems to get mad, unless her father had been interacted with in a negative way. Extremely protective of him, she would go out of her way to insult and occasionally beat people for doing so in order to make sure he is treated fairly and that what happened at the village never happened to him again. Otherwise, Sakana is mostly a happy-go-lucky, sunny and lighthearted person with a strange sense of humour. She loves a good prank or two, but never hesitates to speak up if she thinks something is wrong. Despite her tendency to say cruel things, Sakana does experience guilt, and often apologizes for her misbehaviour (if she feels like it.) Talkative, she enjoys interacting with others.

However, Sakana is in possession of a large collection of manipulation tactics, excuses and lies, a result of how she lied and cheat in order to gain respect or items for her father. Sly and quick thinking, she is a good actor, able to put on a convincing act quickly. However, she no longer uses these tricks often, and only lies when she feels it is very important and very, very necessary.

Over the years, Sakana didn't seem to have changed much. She never really matured, so naturally, she still has a childish sense of humour. Be warned, she makes lots of your mom jokes. Sakana not only has a childish sense of humour, but actively enjoys dark humour, often saying cruel jokes, making references to horrifying events merrily. But once again, she will apologize for doing so if having offended anyone.

Sakana, similarily to her father, feels guilt for never being able to see or free her mother. Sakana still tries to come up with ways to free her mother, but has never tried any of them, a little paranoid about the consequences, not exactly wanting to be completely blind in her other eye. She despises her own cowardice, feeling guilty that she is rendered unable of helping her mother.
