Lea

> *Beside Richard, his Undine giggled. Though her mien was beautiful beyond measure, Hān felt an undulating sense of unease in the Spirit's presence. In their natural habitat, Undines lured children into their lakes and waterways to drown them; ofttimes, it was for nourishment, mostly it was for sport.*

Lea is an intelligent Undine and Richard Huang's contracted Spirit.

## Description

### Appearance & Physiology

Lea's physical form is semi-transparent, ethereal, and beautiful. She has deeply set blue eyes with long eyelashes and a high ridge-line nose. Her hair falls in a cascade of tiny waterfalls. Her upper body is lithe and clothed in a pale blue translucent silk dress. Her voice is sweet and seductive.

When congealed into humanoid form, her innards are a gel-like substance rather than simple water. She has the ability to change the size and shape of her form, and even burst into a diffuse mist. Her hair, like the rest of her body, is prehensile. She's unable to eat, though she can drink Mao-tai.

When fully summoned via Elemental Form, she has rope-like cobalt hair, a long, elegant neck, serpentine waist, and pale white limbs. Her appearance is elven, cruel and beautiful. Her eyes are vivid blue, with inch-long lashes and no pupils.

### Personality

Lea is habitually playful and flirtatious, usually seen smiling or laughing. However, like Richard, she is simultaneously cruel and amoral. She's curious about the world. As an Undine, she is intelligent and self-aware, but driven more by passion than critical thought. As an Elemental, she is more comfortable conversing with fellow Elementals, such as Ellen or Ariel and Caliban, than with humans.

## Biography

### History

Before finding Richard, Lea resided in the Scottish Highlands. As an Undine, she would have spent her days seducing and drowning travellers. She encountered and made a contract with Richard, who was in Scotland as part of a Field Trip with Prince's College.

## Relationships

**Richard :** Lea and Richard have a tightly-knit symbiotic relationship, with a thorough understanding of each other's capabilities and limitations. Lea is protective of Richard, through whom she was able to see the world.

## Character Information

### Abilities

As a demi-Fey, Lea can turn invisible at will and levitates with complete freedom of movement. She is able to predict the weather, and has total control of the water around her, within limits set by Richard's mana supply. Her power levels may be on par with a mid-tier Marid, a much higher level Water Elemental.

## Trivia

* Her name may be a reference to The Leanansidhe from The Dresden Files, a faerie of the Winter Court who is also nicknamed Lea.
