History
Date of Birth: September 7th, 1980
Home: Ur’vit’arbine, City of Unbound Life, Hawai'i
Family: Zinon and Antigone Theoni (parents), Argiro (younger sister)
Chrysalis: Preordainment (even as child in the sea, she swam out and explored old wrecks despite the hazards like sharks and breathing magic fading before she got home; her Chrysalis, expected and virtually inevitable, came about though in a haunting circumstance: in a sunken sailing yacht, she discovered a framed photo of herself at the age of 12), 1992
Mentor: Xenia Kaneli
The Test: Trial by Wit (soon after, that photo was destroyed by the water, leaving Thessa with only a memory and possibly a distorted one of the incident; she learned what it meant to be Mer and of House Melusine under the guidance of an experienced lady, and then took up the Naming with a "graduating class" of several other mermaids, but always she was haunted by her find and the question it left hanging over her: was that an omen of her future, or her doom?)
Comrades: Jonah Rammer, Bijou Illick, Kerr, Luke Irons, Kai Driver, Rai Hennessy, Katina Little
Key Event #1: Awe & Wonder (but she didn't let it dampen her life-quest, and she continued to explore sunken ships and wrecks throughout the Pacific Ocean surrounding Ur'vit'arbine and Hawai'i)
Key Event #2: Awe & Wonder (perhaps both her most wondrous and disturbing find was from a sunken advanced submarine in which she found a "glowy" engine piece, which she brought back to the coral city before the Void Engineer Technocrats were able to salvage it; she had no idea what it did, but she only knew it made her feel cold, and she hurried back for the Naugs' analysis, which they did not impart to her)
Key Event #3: Awe & Wonder (later, she found an old sunken whaling ship, and there encountered the ghost of Jonah Rammer; it was her first human-ish contact, and they came to enjoy each others' tales and company)
Transition: Victory (she even sided with Jonah to defend his haunted wreck from discovery by mortals, so they both could continue to enjoy the peace and isolation together)
Remembrance
Magnitude: Thessa has a solid memory of past lives reaching back to just after the Shattering
Details: She remembers once being an island-hopping explorer who befriended many Merfolk from across the world
Chimera
Coral Spear

Jonah
Weakness
Curiosity Killed the Catfish
Well, Thessa is not a catfish, of course. But she loves rec-diving into wrecks: ships, subs, rigs, whatever. She never holds back, both unaware of and uncaring about sensitive technology that modern governments and corporations would seek to recover (especially if the banal Technocracy is involved).
Likelihood of Corruption
Average.
Thessa's not an evil mermaid at all, but she's reckless.
