Kallidora

Ah the mermaids were always a myth, were they not? Many confused them for selkies and many fantasized them to be half women from the waist up, then the rest of them representing a fish's tail. This particular breed of mermaid is from Merridia, an empire of Merfolk from the Atlantic. Unlike the fantasy-image of mermaids, this breed had fins and crests, beautiful skin that could come in a myriad of colors. Though they do have tails, when surfacing, they are able to cast spells to change their long tails to human legs - but they kept their other distinct features.

Kallidora was born to a proud household strictly ruled by her father, Michelo. A man who pushed his own ideals upon his daughter. She learned from him how to manipulate her gifts at an early age, even hiring elementalists to assist her with controlling Poseidon's power. He wanted her to be stronger than her sibling, Dexamene, who was a guard that had surfaced with Leviathas and a few of his "Chosen." He pushed the youth, keeping her studies limited to learning how to master and manipulate the sea. She was sheltered, thus making her awkward around others. Because of this, she is not good at socializing and hardly had many friends involved in her life. The only thing she knew were the faces of her parents, her teachers. Kallidora wanted more to her life than this, than the constant training, than living in the shadow of someone she has never met.

To defy her father, to take her leave from Atlantis. She wanted to meet the woman she was being shaped into surpassing.
