#zlaman

Meaning: Lorlei, from Lorelei, and I forget what zlaman comes from, something about dark I think

Lorlei is an interesting name because it comes with that Sorrow and Grief feeling you discuss below. Zlaman…. I think means bone fracture. Or at least Unbearable Pain. Definitely an interesting starting place. I think with a name like this, you’ve gotta have some Sad Backstory action going on… like, Lorlei Knew another limeblood earlier in her life but that limeblood was killed recently and she’s still grieving over it/distraught about it. 

Universe: regular, but some limes still exist

Age: Six sweeps

Lusus: Bear (kinda generic, but I made her a bear because she’s very protective over Lorlei like a bear)

I Do love the idea of a bear mum for her, but I do want to suggest just a minor edit. The Bear Has 8 Legs. as a reference to tardigrades (water bears), who are close relatives of arthropods. The bearmom isn’t a tardigrade I’m literally Just suggesting it’s an otherwise normal bearmom with 8 legs. 

Sign: Cano

Trollian Handle: esteemedOrchestrator

If she’s relatively isolated, I don’t think she could be called “esteemed”, and given her social position I don’t think she’s orchestrating much? Maybe like…. beguilingMourner. 

Weapon: an umbrella with a sharp pointed tip

Umbrellas are often associated with mourning, so I think this draws in well with the theme I’m suggesting.

Fetch modus: Sing what she wants to retrieve

How about like, an echo modus? So singing is an option, too, but she can only captchalogue something if someone else (or an echo) repeats the words back to her. And pushes and emphasizes the loneliness theme! Also the Lorelei myth was inspired by the myth of Echo.

Quirk: )) these things ((

God tier: Seer of Heart

I like the idea of that for sure. Understander of passion… trying to figure herself out w/ the trauma of being one of the last of her caste. 

Land: Land of Rain and Caves

Lunar sway: Derse

Ancestor: Itayam Zlaman, the Pacifist. A lime troll who escaped from the genocide of limes, only to be caught and added to the collection of the empress, staying there until she died.

Pacifist seems like an odd name for a character with this story. Maybe The Prisoner instead? 

Personality: Lorlei is a cut off troll, who doesn’t socially interact much in fear of being found out and killed. She believes she’s the last lime troll left, so drowns out her sorrows with music. Her sorrows aren’t really much of a big deal though, she complains about a lot of things that don’t really matter. She’s extremely caring to those who tolerate her, because the ones who do are rare. She knows exactly what to say to win you over.

I really like the idea of on top of all this, she has like… some Singing Abilities. You know how limes are often headcanoned to have pacifying abilities- she could be able to entice people with song. It could create an interesting situation for her to meet new people- if she wanders the woods singing her sorrowful songs and accidentally lures someone in.

And as I said above, I like the idea of her being just a lil’ paranoid and a lil’ mourning.  

Hope this is all ok! Love your reviews!

Thank you! And thank you for sharing this character! Now we go onto design: 

Lorelai is known for her long wavy hair, so I gave Lorlei some long wavy hair! I also made her eyelashes a little tearful and added the undereye bags. Other than that, I don’t have much to edit!
