Darla Morinth
Strengths: Darla has powers outside of the water, such as the echolocation and the ability to control water. She usually can concentrate up to an extent, but if she is extremely emotional at the time or if she's being pressured, the abilities are more difficult for her to use. She has a trident that is about the size of a small dagger, it releases neurotoxins while in water. It allows her to paralyze animals or people to an extent. It does not work on land. She also steals whatever she can find using her echolocation-finding ability. She also has the power to manipulate water around her, freeze the water, and cause the water to evaporate using heat. Mermaids from Neverland also have the ability to create storms and other natural disasters when they're around water. However, this is limited, as mermaids need to be in a group for this to happen. On land, they can manipulate clouds to allow it to rain, but no exaggerated storm. She can also heal slight wounds with water and do other benevolent things with enchanting it. She can either use her hand or her mind to control water, usually hand gestures are more prominent, as it is more precise and accurate. Darla is also quite persuasive and is responsible with what she does. She's able to maneuver out of situations quickly and is able to lead others in groups. She is also quite brave and is not afraid of doing anything that might hurt her, especially to protect those she loves. Weaknesses: Her Chauvinism is her dedication to the merpeople and being a female. She is not used to men and usually had convoluted stories told of them when she was younger. She usually thinks that all of mankind are bad and she is afraid of mermen. Darla is also quite confrontational and tell someone if she is upset or disagrees with something. This can cause her to get into bad situations and make her seem egotistic. She is also quite sensitive and loud with her emotions. She can jump into situations which makes her seem reckless and irresponsible, even if she knows exactly what she's getting into. Darla has a curious wanderlust that may seem a bit irrational. She doesn't want to leave the ocean, but poking around is sometimes that she does for fun, which can cause her to end up in the wrong places at the wrong times. HISTORY Mermaids usually adapt to the surroundings that they grow up in and Darla Mo happened to grow around dolphins. This helped her with her echolocation abilities and her intuition. Darla grew up in a mermaid pod called Delphinum which was comprised of a large family of mermaids. She became a counselor for her mermaid pod when she was only 7 years old, which was surprisingly young for a mermaid. Darla Mo was raised in a community with dolphins. This has given her the ability to use echolocation to find things that she looks for. This also helps her thwart any danger that might be near, to protect the animals or people that are around her. This carries onto land, as she seems to be extremely great at finding lost things. She has held onto her secret from treasure hunters such as pirates so she wouldn't be taken advantage of. Dolphins are also extremely empathetic animals who are very intuitive in situations, even if they do not understand the language displayed. Darla is able to communicate with people emotionally, as she can empathize with others in situations and can usually come to a proper conclusion. This has helped with her becoming independent and a leader. She loves to be around people though, just not controlled. She is very loud and extroverted just like dolphins and is not always cheery. Darla Mo is also somewhat sassy when it comes to confrontations with land-people and doesn't really know how to interact with men, as she was mostly raised in an all-women pod. She has since broke a bit from her pod, due to her wanderlust. This has made her a severe target for pirates who roam around Neverland. When Darla began to be of age, she curiously went around parts of Neverland's shores to see what land-people were doing. There were mostly pirates and young children. A few mermaids were native to the pools of Neverland, but she was too afraid to go into those waters. She would carefully watch them in disgust, hoping that she'd never have to be part of their world. She wanted to stay in the ocean, apart of her pod. Pirates that always seemed to threaten their waters were coming closer and closer to where the Delphinum Pod resided, so she had no choice but to confront them. After Darla's leader died, she became the leader of Delphinum Pod and oversaw all of the security of the area. She became tired of mermaids venturing forth to Neverland's ponds, so she forbade anyone going to where the land people dwell. Eventually, these rules were broken. Young and curious mermaids were getting swept away by sailors into the unknown and she eventually had to deal with the oncoming threat of the two-legged. Darla eventually was caught in a ship's net and she screamed that if any of the pirates stepped foot on their territory again, they'd be dealing with a threat far larger than her. The captain of the ship had a mysterious potion that contained a curse. The curse made it so any creature, such as mermaids, would be changed into a human forever. He had been looking for a wife, specifically a mermaid wife. He eventually poured the potion onto Darla and it permanently changed her into a human. Darla was unable to swim back to her pod, which caused her to become helpless. She was stuck being the pirate's wife for a few years until she was able to escape. They were eventually in a place called the Enchanted Forest where she tried to find a way to become a mermaid again. After the Dark Curse hit, she was sent to Storybrooke. When there, she became the owner of the Delphinum Aquarium. RP SAMPLE Darla had been stressed from what her pod had accused her of; tyranny and an unlawful approach to the situation at hand. She had been swimming around Neverland's shores, looking for any stray mermaid that may have disobeyed her commands to stay away from the shores. It was dangerous to be allowed land, especially the shores of Neverland. Many ships seemed to cozy their way onto Delphinum Pod's territory for quite a bit of time. However, Neverland did not get as much activity as she normally perceived. Darla exaggerated this topic onto her pod, making sure that they knew that the oncoming threat of pirates could kill even the toughest of mermaids. Tonight was an extra terrible night, as mermaids from Delphinum Pod were scattered about Neverland. They were all trying to create mini-storms to prevent Darla from doing anything to them. She wanted to honestly keep at peace. Darla had a sudden wanderlust growing ever since she was a child, but no desire to completely split from her pod. She knew that one day she'd become leader, and this was something that was inevitable. It was her destiny to navigate young mermaids to their proper destiny, to make their lives as great as they possibly could be. |
