Lori Lemaris

## Background

### 1991 - 2007: Lori Lemaris

Born in the city state of Tritonis, Lori comes from a long line of Atlanteans in high places. Her father was the General of the city-state, allowing Lori many priviledges in life & many standards to upkeep.

Like most people from Tritonis, Lori has the upper body of a human & the lower tail of a fish. They were called Mer-people by other Atlanteans but the surface world would come to know them as mystical creatures called mermaids. Though her parents held high position on the council for Tritonis, Lori would constantly find herself int trouble. The root of most of her problems was that she was prone to lying. Even without trying it was just something she did naturally.

She used her natural ability of lying to find her way to the surface world. She told her father that she was taking extra classes at the Conservatory of Sorcery but she was going to the docks to spy on the humans. She would meet people but used her sorcery to erase their memories of her when she left as to keep Atlantis a secret from the surface world. Her father eventually found out & forbid her from her from returning. While Lori was a natural liar, she never directly disobeyed her father so she listened & continued with her studies.

### 2007 - Present: Lori Lemaris

Over time, she still desired to go back to the surface world but as to not disobey her father, she started the group called Landlovers. The group consisted of Lori & two others that were fascinated with the surface wold & tried to learn everything they could about it.

The group would become direct rivals of the Purists in 2010 after the latter's public announcement. The Purists were extremists who considered themselves to be the "real" Atlanteans & felt that Atlanteans with inhuman attributes (i.e. La'gaan) to be impure. The group eventually come to physical blows during the Throne of Atlantis when Ocean Master led an assault on the capital after Aquaman's decision to induct Atlantis as part of the United Nations.

In the aftermath, most of the Purists ended their war with the Landlovers & the two groups found a level of peace but Lori still couldn't look at them the same, especially her now ex boyfriend Ronal. She kept her distance from the former Purists & began focusing her time on creating a partnership with the surface world. These days, Lori works as a teacher at the Conservatory under Queen Mera. She also began dating her fellow Landlovers' member, La'gaan.
