Physical Description
Marélys Poissonne is strikingly beautiful in a manner that lingers just beyond comfort, her features composed yet touched with an unnatural stillness. Her skin reflects light too evenly, her gaze holds depth without warmth, and her movements feel guided as much by current as by will. Her long hair drifts in layered greens and deep blues, and her powerful tail shows subtle irregularities in its iridescent scales, worn by time and tide.
Her armor is a ritualized Mer construction of layered scale, shell, and sinew, equivalent to studded leather, with integrated asymmetrical conch shell pauldrons forming part of its structure rather than separate adornment. Around her waist rests a loosely arranged belt of varied starfish, and upon her brow sits a rough coral-and-bone diadem, uneven and suggestive of inheritance rather than craftsmanship.

Lore
Marélys Poissonne stands as both priestess and continuation, inheriting a devotion that persists without answer. She leads rituals before ancient statues of Marelle with precision and conviction, performing rites unchanged by time despite their silence. Her faith does not waver, not because it is affirmed, but because it has never been permitted to end, and in her stillness there is a quiet certainty that the absence of response is not refusal, but something not yet understood.
