Eraseth Atherton*

*Physical characteristics can change

Personality:

At first glance, Eraseth seems to be a calm and soft-spoken individual. Those around them can often find their mannerisms and beauty intimidating. They pay little attention to others while they are painting, and that is most often what they do. However, they are actually quite laid-back and always have words of support for others. They are prone to flights of fancy though, and, if something catches their eye, they will often approach it without a second thought. These impulsive actions can lead them to neglect their own wellbeing. Even when they mess up though, they do not anger easily. When they do, it can be as all consuming as a storm at sea. It's something that they work hard to keep in check, but it's still a problem.

Emotions and will balanced (Both are volatile af ), Slow to anger, but when they're angry, you'll know it  

About: 
Eraseth sees beauty in all people, whether it is in the form of a beautiful smile or a kind heart. This is true even when the person doesn't believe it themselves. They are very supportive and affirming, although they can come off as strange because of how adamant they are about it. They spend much of their time capturing this beauty through watercolors. They are so focused while painting that they often forget to eat or drink. It only takes a gentle reminder to set them back on track though, and they’re always grateful for it. 

They are reborn from the water, much like a Phoenix is from fire, and their form is shaped by the water that they are reborn from. They have the ability to share this life with any water they touch. They are most often seen sitting near fountains or streams.

Species properties: 

The basis is that their kind forms from waterfalls that fall from an island in the sky. Their forms initially more serpentine like the waterfalls that they are born from, but most of them end up taking human form by the time they land on Earth. They are born from the water and gain life from it (Sort of like how eastern dragons were said to embody rivers). If they die in water, they'll be reborn. The life that they derive from the water can be put into the water in turn, although the specific effect depends on the individual. Their wings sort of represent an innate difference in them: one which makes it so that they cannot ever fully belong to the water again. Most of them are bad at swimming, but they also greatly enjoy the element that they came from.
