IT TAKES COURAGE TO BE KIND IN A WORLD THAT’S CRUEL.  ── She is warm, compassionate and kind-hearted, someone who gives herself to the world and everyone in it without expecting anything in return. She is soft, but it is a mistake to think that her softness makes her foolish or weak; on the contrary, it is a testament to her enormous strength of character. She is endlessly curious, and a lot more clever than she lets on, and fiercely stubborn in her beliefs. In another life, she would have made a great investigative reporter.
SHE WENT THROUGH HELL BUT CAME OUT AN ANGEL. YOU DIDN’T BREAK HER, HONEY; YOU DON’T OWN THAT KIND OF POWER.  ──  Don't be fooled by her willingness to put her faith in others; she has been hurt before, many, many times over. She has felt devastatingly lonely. She has felt let down. She wears her heart on her sleeve, unapologetic about her compassion yet painfully introverted when it comes to her sorrow, or her grief. She loves freely, except when it comes to herself. She can neither see her own beauty, physical or otherwise, nor understand how special it makes her.
LIFE IS NOT KIND. BUT I AM, AND THAT MAKES LIFE SO MUCH MORE COMPLICATED. ── Being a pacifist, she is incredibly conflicted about her nature. She was given the power to cause fear and horror and harm in others and yet all she has ever wanted to do is heal. She does not hate what she is, nor does she wish to be separated from her family or her kind; yet in many ways, she is afraid of who she was meant to be. Often, she finds herself wishing that she had the freedom to choose differently, only to be struck by guilt over the thought even crossing her mind at all.

PLOTS  ──  Internal conflict, tests of morality, tests of faith, destiny versus choice, loyalty to the collective versus loyalty to the self, slow-building rebellion against expectation and/or convention, overturning assumptions, defying authority etc.
THE BROTHER [@thyxromeo] ─ you weren’t meant to have each other. you weren’t even meant to know the other existed, but now that you do, you can’t imagine your life without each other. you act more like twins than you do half brother and half sister. and she loves you, even when she envies you.
THE SAGE [@lavcsse] ─ your families have been close since your kind first sprung to life in the depths of the sea. your friendship is much, much younger, but you are the person she goes to when she needs wisdom. when it comes to certain things, she trusts your judgement more than she trusts her own.
THE PROTECTOR [@killedmemory] ─ you are the person whose ‘tough love’ can be so tough that it is easily mistaken for something else. you are strict, and unrepentant in your honesty, but you are also violently protective; anyone who dares lay a hand on her can expect a swift and most unpleasant end.
THE MENTOR [OPEN] ─ you see something in her, and you want her to succeed; you believe that she is meant for greater things than what she has settled for and you want to help her get there. it is easier said than done, and you wish that she could see herself as clearly as you do.
THE CORRUPTOR [OPEN] ─ you also see something in her, and for years, maybe even decades, you’ve tried to coax it out; a darker side, whether for a purpose or simply for the thrill of it, no one knows. but once or twice, you swear you’ve seen a hint of it in the dark sheen of her eyes.
THE FALLEN COMRADE [OPEN] ─ you used to be thick as thieves, although thieves were the opposite of what you were. rather, you were partners in altruism. for a long time, the two of you shared the same beliefs, but you may or may not have strayed from them in recent years.
THE LOST CAUSE [OPEN] ─ you are someone she has chosen to put her faith in despite little evidence that it is warranted. it has been a long time now, but she still hasn’t given up on you; even if you often think she should. for some reason, she still sees something in you worth saving.
THE CRUCIBLE [OPEN] ─ you were the greatest test to everything she knows and believes about the world; that people are good and deserving of faith, even when they let her down. she forgives easily, and she has never regretted putting her faith in anyone, until she met you.
OLD FRIENDS [OPEN - MULTIPLE] ─ you have experienced some of the world’s, and by extension some of your own, most defining moments together; whether you were brothers and sisters in arms (metaphorically speaking), or on opposite sides of the conflict. you are witnesses to history, and it is as a bond that has persisted, for better or for worse, until this day.
NEW BEGINNINGS [OPEN - MULTIPLE] ─ you are either a part of her circle of human friends or a supernatural whom she has recently befriended. if you are human, are you someone who would accept her as she is, or would revealing her nature cause tension in your relationship? if you are supernatural, do you share her beliefs and commitment to doing good? or are you someone very different from her who challenges her ideology?
