WELCOME TO LOS EUROSIA,

Allura Ladrón

"When the Fox hears the Rabbit scream he comes a-runnin', but not to help."

BASICS

NAME: Allura Ladrón

AGE: 26

BIRTHDATE: December 28th

PRONOUNS: She/Her

SEXUALITY: Homosexual

RELATIONSHIP STATUS: Single

OCCUPATION: Unemployed

NEIGHBORHOOD: The Sea

MEMBER GROUP: Hunter

POWERS: Merfolk physiology

When at least partially submerged in salt water her legs fuse together, lengthen, and grow fins to form a tail. Allura’s mermaid form looks a lot like a Tiger Shark, with the obvious difference that a human upper body grows out from where its head should be. She breathes underwater through gills on her ‘hips’.

Like most fish Allura is poikilothermic (cold-blooded) which means her body temperature changes to suit the temperature around her. She's unlikely to feel cold or overheated no matter her clothes or the weather, and she’s carnivorous, being able to survive on fish meat alone. Sharks are her friends whereas anything smaller than her is ignored or considered prey.

Rather than lure and tempt like the sirens of legends, Allura makes people feel so very tired. Holding her gaze for too long may cause someone to yawn and make their limbs grow heavy, while her voice can literally put them to sleep if she wills it strongly enough.

THE LOOKS

HEIGHT: 5'7" (mermaid form: 8’6”)

WEIGHT: 125 lbs (mermaid form: 250 lbs)

HAIR COLOR: Brunette

EYE COLOR: Brown

FACE CLAIM: Chiara Scelsi

OVERALL APPEARANCE: Allura’s most distinguishable feature is her gorgeous mane of brunette curls. Her hair spirals down to her waist when wet and springs up to her chest when dry,  always smelling faintly like sea-salt, and her human body is notably toned from a life of near-constant swimming. She doesn’t have too much bulky muscle, however, as her tail does most of the work while she's in mermaid form. Her tail is a dappled brown (again, bearing a strong resemblance to the patterns found on a Tiger Shark), and she’s a natural beauty, with dark eyes and long lashes. Her skin is a light brown like warm sand.

Allura’s clothes are almost exclusively stolen from beachgoers. She’s often seen wearing sun dresses, flowy tops, and wide-leg, cotton trousers or shorts with tropical patterns. She hates shoes, but if she ventures away from the beach and into the town she’ll be sure to steal someone’s flipflops first.

INSIDE

LIKES:

• Shiny trinkets
• Learning new things
• Collecting shark teeth and sea glass

DISLIKES:

• Litter, pollution, waste
• Hemming and hawing
• Being made to feel foolish

STRENGTHS: voice can put others to sleep, strong swimmer, high endurance, brave. 

WEAKNESSES: clumsy on land, lacks a lot of common human knowledge; wouldn’t be able to function as a human in society, doesn’t understand cultural references, not book smart, thinks she's invincible.

OVERALL PERSONALITY: Headstrong / Honest / Judgemental / Self-righteous / Lacks self-preservation

For Allura the world is black and white; things are either one way or they’re the other, with no wriggle room for an in between. Changing her mind about anything appears an impossible task and she’s not someone who will tolerate lying or vagueness. She takes everything very seriously and expects everyone else to do the same, and while not particularly smart nor knowledgeable of the human world, she is very observant and good at reading expressions. She will quickly recognise if someone is trying to fool her.

She’s honest (albeit closed-off) but she won’t expose anyone else’s secrets if they ask her not to. Still, she’s not the best choice of confidant for someone looking to be comforted; she will absolutely judge them based on their secrets and let them know about it.

Allura is a hunter but she’s not solely focused on taking out gifted. Humans face her wrath as well, perhaps even more so because she harbours a deep resentment towards them as a whole for polluting her beloved ocean. Drowning those who stray too far from shore is considered her right – her purpose – and the world is better off for it. However, since the discovery she can grow legs, she's been trying to suppress her murderous tendencies so she can 'befriend' land-walkers and gather more intel on them.

Being the apex predator in her corner of the ocean and having the gift of verbal anaesthetic, she has a strong lack of self-preservation – not that she wouldn’t do anything to survive, but even when injured she simply doesn’t believe death is feasible. She would need to be pressed to her absolute limits to feel any sense of fear.
