Name: Karaiyah (Kai) Ramos
Age: 22
Appearance:
Background: Her mother was a Siren, and her father a sailor. The classic
tail. (I'm awful) Her father got her mother pregnant while she was in human form, and abandoned her as soon as Karaiyah was born. A bit afraid of commitment, apparently. She grew up for the first 15 years of her life with her mother in the ocean, living a life as normal for a Siren as it gets. She was happy, and loved. Naturally, no interesting story stays happy like that. A couple of fishermen unhappy with the presence of Myths in human culture murdered her mother, a harpoon through the gut. Karaiyah then decided to migrate to land and try to integrate with the rest of society, letting as few people as possible know of her Myth nature. Her life was average from then on too, until committed the crime detailed below. She was sent to prison, served her sentence without incident, and now lives in the Halfway House with the other Myths.
Personality: Although sweet and caring, Kariayah is very opinionated and not afraid to speak her mind if she thinks you're doing something or saying something that disrespects someone else unwarranted. She loves her friends, and will defend anyone who needs it to the death. Though she's confrontational, she's very forgiving and if you fight with her she'll likely pretend it never happened if you're in distress. However, if you ever upset someone or are disrespectful she does not tolerate it and will either call you out or punch you out. Not to mention she's flirty to a fault, and will flirt with anyone. Boy, girl, people and Myths who are neither boy or girl. Once in a relationship, though, she's the most loyal and affectionate woman you'll ever meet.
(answer the following in character)
What type of mythical creature are you?
I'm a
Siren. Absolutely hate it, too. I try to avoid singing around people whenever possible, but sometimes I need to just get away from everyone for awhile, be in the water, and sing quietly so nobody can hear. It's a good stress reliever. While in my Siren form, I look like any other mermaid, but apparently exceedingly beautiful. (Scoff.) My tail is teal as is my hair, and really the only difference between my human form and Siren form is the tail and the fact that I'm naked.
What Crime did you commit?
Murder. Long story short, I caught a man trying to rape a little girl. Got 5 years, since it technically wasn't self defense but I know I did the right thing. I wouldn't do anything different, given the chance.
How long where you in prison?
5 years.
How long have you lived at The Oasis?
A week. Tried to avoid everyone else until today, figured I had to say hi and decide who I like and who I do not at some point.
