Pride How they got their sin:
Lorelei came from a large fairy family, which was rare for her kind. Her parents were of lower status of the fae realm & went along their love filled lives relentlessly mass producing baby after baby. Lorelei was the only girl of fifteen children (when her parents HAD to stop for fear of their mother’s health) & the youngest. She grew surrounded by fearless, forceful, rambunctious boys who quickly became men but never ceased on their teasing and exploiting of Lorelei’s weaknesses.
At a young age her family arranged her with a noble fairy who she would wed. But, Lorelei had fallen in love all on her own for the first time.
All her life she had seen such a beautiful connection between her parents, but the harsh environment she had been subjected to by her brothers made her heart far colder, impatient, selfish. She was looking out for herself. And she wanted to have what SHE wanted to have-who she wanted.
Love had made a change in her. But in the end of this love affair, in the raging fires of it’s end, she had found her heart on the floor, bleeding and tired, as she found her affections were being used, swallowed whole, she had been made a fool. For he was with another girl he claimed he truly loved and the girl had fallen pregnant.
Lorelei herself, was with child. And the wedding with her arranged husband was called off at once as well. Despite the heartbreak it put her through, she birthed the child and gave it to her parents to raise as their own-she couldn’t have an abandoned, fatherless, guiltily loved child.
A child she didn’t want, couldn’t want. She wouldn’t embarrass her family, her brothers, herself in such a way. She put her pride and theirs first, before an innocent life.
None of her brothers were punished this way and Lorelei felt it unfair the treatment she faced.
It was on the night of the child’s birth, when she ran from the village home of her family, clinging to any piece of herself that she could still recognize, that she earned her sin. Not a word was spoken of her baby. The fairy boy would never know. And she was hoping to forget, to move on from such a hurtful, dreadful, soul crushig time in her life.
With her head held high, she walked away from any and all anyone had tried to give her, grace her, because it wasn’t what she wanted for herself. And she felt she deserved far better choices.
Power: Lorelei has the ability to manipulate feelings, emotions-to instigate a certain idea or need. She can sense what you feel and bestow another. It’s not always useful, some people are more susceptible than others.
She also is very flexible and agile.
Sacred Treasure:
Lorelei seeks her own personal redo button. A magical scroll that recites the rewinding of time, to bend backwards and get a second try. Its a very dangerous treasure and one highly sought after.
She possesses a necklace passed down from the women in her family that gives her strength/fuels her drive to be the very best at any and all she sets her mind to.
Extra:
She has the mark of the stork behind her neck (as permanent shame for her abandonment) & a tattoo on her lower hip in the shape of a dripping set of wings-a family symbol.
