'Lacy'

Trivia

Stands around 163 cm.

Tends to wear ballet slippers when going out to water. Shoes and stockings are used for other settings.

Paranoid of using song, along with being around water sources at the same time as others. Fear cancels any hypnotic effect that can be generated by music through opposing intent. Being asked about certain topics would result in a shudder and no further response.

Features capability to influence surroundings with her voice, which can be seen as subjectively eerie with the fact trees are not supposed to ‘dance’.

For animals, humans included, this could be to the death. If individuals are fortunate: passing out from the results of moving so long may occur instead, depending on the song length.

In folklore canon: that creature group had the general capability to affect surroundings and any being in those surroundings.

In folklore, if teaching people music through a grudge or general malignancy, this can mean death or at least harm for others who are listening later. Songs passed along can cause the same compulsion as direct influence: the player is unable to stop until also collapsing. In that case too, not accepting what is offered or presented is best.

Due to attempts at avoiding risk, this would not be relevant to her character.

She cut her hair but did not kill her voice, needing it to survive. She remains too afraid to sing, even if not in anyone's company.

Nix and Nixie are horse-like merfolk, although only males can become equine.

The eye structure of horses includes a flat line in the center, which is a sign of inherencies. This is only a present element if she is underwater and the water is murky. As this can be off-putting, in the uncommon situation that becomes relevant: a more subdued tone is taken up in an attempt to avoid attention.

When underwater, ocular features typically consist of transparent pupils surrounded by darker irises. Human eyes are more adept at seeing dim contrasts within a light background, which does not suit murky waters. Light is drawn into the dark irises, the transparent pupil restricting the amount of light that passes through the other parts of the eye and allowing for better vision.

Her teeth are 'human', which reflects on her basis. In regard to structure, horse teeth are very similar to that of human varieties, the length of the jaw however causing difference.

Her genuine name is -------. Situationally, 'Lacy', ‘Clover’ and 'Gratia' were derived from that term.

With her family gone, no one but her knows her true name. It is a double-edged concept: she is safe, but alone.

She avoids talking about them usually. Although it is distant, her thoughts on the matter are evident.

Does not know how to cook extensively through an overall plant-oriented diet, having run away before she was taught sufficiently. Enough is understood to support herself.

Knows how to play a few instruments, while the most adept at the viola and mandolin. By those aware of related effects, this can be seen as potentially threatening if holding one: despite that dull panic also cancels out any effect when playing.

Due to her background, could be considered agile and limber, both on water and on land: this however depending on appearance.

Somewhat colourblind, unable to see red: perhaps to the benefit of her self-security, despite related potential irony.

Even without that, the smell of blood is often evident.

At times may become infatuated toward people, yet fear blocks out most of her thoughts to say anything.

Straightforward if flirted with: generally moving past fear either to excuse herself or try to move the conversation elsewhere.

Tends to force herself to be more social than she is at her baseline, even if sometimes this causes her to trip up socially: knowing mistakes happen.

Not innocent; cannot be called considerate unwaveringly. Relatively self-interested and guarded, but does what is possible outwardly to not slip into negative mentalities or instigate conflict.

Lacy is a male and female name. Eggs are difficult to assign sex to. Had a mother and father once, while the former left a long time ago before the incident; Nix likely able to travel between waters and rarely staying together outside of relevancies.

An otherworldly strength present within given lore may apply to females equally, which can be potentially threatening through related capability and decisions.

Other than in swimming long distances, pushing the self is not something that generally occurs, partly adding to her overall subdued and withdrawn air.

As how Nix are described in folklore, the hem of her dress or skirt is often damp, regardless of setting. This potentially bolsters the time away from water sources, but not extensively.

Occasionally may 'speak' or 'respond to' birds using a pattern of sounds that somehow translate into understood patterns. This is typically normal conversation, by the limit that the species' can carry. Loons are the most frequently 'spoken' to, being primarily water-based species; which can make it seem as though she herself is a 'common' or other loon through resulting drawn-out call.

When around ponds and lakes for longer durations, may dub multiple loons by various names, although these are not typically responded to. This is more of a self-related reminder than anything, in being able to only minutely tell the difference between individuals. Due to these birds' territorial behavior, such individuals may indirectly signal warning when someone else nears.

To other persons, a similar factor may be present, although unlikely to be attempted, or unlikely to be overheard. In external perspectives, 'song' would be close to 'English', 'Latin' or another prominent language, but not the same. Base vowels and consonants are put together, but in a manner not that perceivable.

Carrying a tune requires understanding on both sides.

Knowledge is necessary to create equivalents for translation. Even if she wanted to say something, it could fail if not understood by herself in context. Limits are still present with unknown or un-recalled meanings. Not everyone has an idea of what they can say or want to; and her limit is generally to 'English' phrasing.

Occasionally may fall silent mid-sentence, realising she cannot continue: either not knowing how to say a word, not knowing its meaning, or doing that for another reason.

Unconsciously tries to not make others angry or upset. She is not typically offset if that happens, unless that proves too difficult. She does not try to project complication towards others, instead herself. When relevant situationally, she goes about normally and eventually moves on from being concerned.

Called ‘Clover’ from collecting clover for tea, wreaths, and decor, and to pass time.

Tended for clovers, mallow, kuzu, by preference, habitat, and quantity respectively.

Has an understanding of various plants. She may start pulling kuzu and showy water primrose out from areas she remains at briefly. This may not be immediate, but after obtaining a basket.

Attempted that frequently earlier on, to keep it from spreading and utilise it while still new. Kuzu is a vine that typically needs to be uprooted to prevent it from spreading, but that is entirely edible and can be used widely in cooking.

Evidently having a considerable time to think, she occasionally appears to voice metaphorical comparisons between herself and perceived complications.

Concentrations tend to accrue depending on resources and environment. Subjective toxicity is possible if certain elements are introduced. This can depend on the quality of water or whether individuals take in certain toxins.

Kelpies have adhesive skin at times. Pollutants could leak through the skin and coat the outer layer. The adhesive is part of individuals that have spent long spans in contaminated terrains, within molecular structure. Concentrated substances can literally be beneath skin, caused by drawing toxins in from people coming too close.

This is technically blood albumin glue, with moderate traces of other compounds, including calcium hydroxide.

Calcium hydroxide, traditionally called slaked lime, is an inorganic compound with the chemical formula Ca(OH)2. It is a colourless crystal or white powder and obtained when calcium oxide, commonly called lime or quicklime, is mixed with water.

Skin may be alabaster until mixed with the dried blood powder and water: then featuring a red substance that is very adhesive.

"Blood on one's hands", for some individuals, would be an accurate yet ironic idiom in connection to this trait.

Holding hands might not be ideal in that regard, depending on the situation. Letting go would be impossible. As that neurologically is an act of affection, physiology may correlate depending on the individual.

Kelpie and other brook horse species are pure white or grey as horses, which fit the context: grey equating to bacterial or fungal cells attacking the damp glue.

The glue is shed by notion; if not eventually; the species being shapeshifters.

Can breathe underwater regardless of appearance. This can be seen as surreal; essentially walking along the bottom of a lake as a 'human'.

Folk tales are twisted, horror-toned, and sometimes graphic. The Nix species (in folklore canon) are depicted as (at times) obsessive and invariably soulless, besides bound to water or risking death being away from sources.

This can be seen as analogous to how humans have artificially gained odd characteristics over many generations. Yet, it is pollution and meat that causes negative effects mentally and physically. A fear of the self may characterise individuals unaffected by relevancies.

She does not drink alcohol. An awareness that worse can result is tied to that aversion.

If a Nix is lonely; pulling people in as water can do, harmfully, this however out of a sense of emptiness or sense of absence than due to chance; chances are a person is either going to end up as undead company, or be killed. Despite not stopping people from ‘leaving’, that it is eventually decided on leads the cycle further.

For some reason, corpses are not disturbed and instead left to decay: this is not good either on a few levels.

Once dead and silent, there is not anything else within reasoning that can be taken from someone. If considerably zealous, an individual may ‘trap’ multiple people below; leaving meaning death. Nothing and no one is enough, as eternity is worse than death or oblivion.

Salt water and fresh water is the same for individuals. As they can become 'sunken treasure', this to lure prey, it does not seem that they are affected by lack of oxygen. Water is literally a placebo soul for them, which may be why they need to be around it once a day at the least, or become weaker.

When viable, she occasionally sleeps in a tub when staying in a town, spending the night in that manner with the door locked. When this is not viable during a town stay, she visits plunge pools and cold baths available to the public.

Stealing names means some death of self. This may be why individuals expire if it is used in their presence. In this case, as of others: it is a kept secret.

Nix are attractive superficially, but beneath the skin can be 'rot'. They may eventually slowly start 'rotting', avoiding 'death' forever impossible. Addiction slowly kills the self, in many cases, regardless of the cause.

Strangers are indivisible. Once someone becomes one, it is much easier to let them go; or when this stands as true within more morbid terms: to discard them.

Guards herself from resulting in this manner, yet irony exists: it is the self that is being guarded, not just the surroundings, despite that settings hold importance and exist as an influence.
