Lucero Darya Firth ref

Instructions

Click for the next pics These are not entirely accurate bc I used character creators (I did not feel like drawing her sorry guys) Lucero Darya Firth (nicknamed Luce) // Female // she/her // 17 // bi/leans towards women // mermaid // water // She can’t create or destroy any natural forces, so the water she’s able to manipulate into different shapes must be water that’s already around her. Using her power weakens her, although she’s working on building a resistance. // Lucero has blond hair so light it seems almost white that she often keeps in a twisted updo at the back of her head with her bangs spilling out the front. If she let it out, it would be so long as to reach her hips. Her face is on the rounder side, sporting girlish features such as big, gray eyes and a spray of freckles. Her pink lips bear a small scar over them, and she has many similar scars from swimming through coral reefs. When Luce has legs, she stands at a towering height. However, when she touches water, her pale skin gives way to scales the green-brown of the ocean near the shore. Her are fins reminiscent of a sea dragon’s, wavy and leaflike. // Luce always wears a simple frock, sleeveless and yellowed from the salt spray. The most interesting detail about it is the row of eyelets lining the top of the skirt and the bottom of the bodice. Tightly laced through these eyelets is a cord keeping the two together. Lucero unties this whenever she wishes to swim so her skirt doesn’t get in the way (Ik she has magic and mermaids can probably just make their pants disappear for the time being but I just thought this was more fun). If she isn’t barefoot, she wears sandals that with cords that lace up to her knees. The only adornment she wears is a necklace with a shark’s tooth as a pendant. // I can make a reference project later, I just don’t have one atm // Lucero’s emotions mimic the seas, volatile and strong. One moment she can be content and at peace, and the next angry, eyes darkening like a storm. She has taken an interest in sailors and pirates, and can often be heard singing shanties while she takes walks by the marina. She is naturally curious, and loves to explore in her free time- climbing rocks, finding tide pools, and, of course, swimming in the vast oceans. Along with her emotions being ever-changing, she also feels very strongly. She gets intensely happy and loving, but is also prone to falling into deep depressions and holding grudges for a long time. In the heat of the moment, she quickly lashes out without thinking, which can hurt people deeply. Let me know if you want more on her personality- I often keep this part vague because I get to know a character as I rp with them. // When she sets her mind on a goal, she’s very determined to achieve it. Her emotions can at times influence how strong her magic is. She’s also a very strong snd fast swimmer. // On the flip side of her emotions influencing her magic, despairing or being sad can really weaken her. She also doesn’t always know how hard she’s pushing herself which can lead to extreme fatigue. I can’t think of anything else rn so if you want more than just lmk! // old stories, singing, sailors and fixing boats, swimming, exploring, stray animals, shiny things // boring people, those who think they’re better than others, tangled ropes, rain, when her hair gets crispy because of the saltwater // I don’t have much in the way of backstory, other than the fact that she doesn’t live with her family and she works at the marina patching up sailor’s ships and in her free time, she owns a stall selling pretty things she’s found on her little adventures.
