Description

:iconethernitas:


Name:  Nerida Muirin

 

Age: 26 years

 

Species: Merfolk

 

Realm: Water/ Yadenah Ran

 

Occupation: Tactician of Yadenah Ran, Counselor of the water Aevi

 

Personality:

Nerida has a lot of self-confidence as she is proud of her abilities and how far she has come in life already. She loses said confidence when it comes to her Aevi, Meena, though.... She made her furious once during their first meeting and she promised herself she would never let that happen again.

In general the mermaid behaves quite lady-like but when she is angered she sometimes starts biting people. She also becomes rather moody when she is hungry. She starts biting then as well.

 

History:

Nerida belongs to a family of merfolk nomads. Until she met Meena, the mermaid never thought much about what she wanted to do in her life. She always loved acquiring knowledge so she sometimes pondered about becoming a scholar.

After her faux-pas on her first meeting  with Meena, she decided to visit the Aevi's residence in order to properly apologize as the merfolk are still followers of the Kaha Madar and thus she felt it was necessary for her to be forgiven by the Aevi. Despite the Aevi claiming to hold no bad feelings towards the mermaid, Nerida insisted to help Meena whenever she could use a helping hand. They noticed that they worked quite well together after a while, Meena employed Nerida properly.

Nerida's love for acquiring knowledge made her counsel very useful so over the years she became Meena's right hand and most important counselor.

Abilities:

- The merfolk lost their magical abilities along with their long life span ages ago so Nerida is unable to use any magic.

- Nerida is very skilled at wielding her mace.

- The mermaid is not too fond of wearing heavy clothes, especially metal armor, so her main strategy is trying to dodge any blows coming her way.

- In her mermaid form Nerida grows gills so she can breathe underwater.

 

 

Additional Information:

- At first Nerida's reason to take her work so seriously was due to being scared of being scolded by Meena but she soon realized that being proud of her accomplishments was a great feeling (and being praised didn't hurt her ego either....)

- Nerida never wears shoes. The only person who can convince her otherwise is Meena. And even the Aevi has a hard time convincing the mermaid of the necessity to wear them to official gatherings....

- Nerida can wolf down pretty much anything when she is hungry but in general she only likes raw meat and fish. The fresher the better. And if it's still moving in her mouth, eating it is all the more fun to her.  

- The mermaid is not a deep sleeper so she loves having a midnight snack every now and then when she wakes up so she sometimes stores some meat under her bed. As long as she makes sure no one can smell it when walking into her room, Meena usually doesn't really mind. She once found an arm under Nerida's bed though.... The  argument which followed was pretty ugly.....

- The scale she wears on the jewelry on her head is her greatest treasure as it is one of Meena's scales. If anyone asks her how she got it, she replies that she received it as a 'present' when first meeting the Aevi. If Meena is around when asking said question, she tries very hard to change the subject.

- Nerida is a carnivorous type of mermaid. Back when she was still living with her family of nomadic merfolk she often used to go to ships to hunt for food. As a result she has no qualms about killing anyone who poses a threat to Meena or the water empire the Aevi stands for.
