Ever since then she is wary of humans, especially men, unsure as to why they are so different.

Special Equipment

Elemental Focus

When in human form she wears this simple pendant. The pendant is a focus for her elemental power, as a solid being it allows her to still access her abilities without reverting to her natural water state. Even if removed it will not grant the abilities to someone else, but rather will return to her when she summons it. The center of the ring will glow deep blue when she uses her powers in human form.

Background

Muireann does not know when she was born, to her she simply exists and has always done so. She recalls seeing the earliest tribes of humans inhabit to the islands near where she made her home, the isles of Ireland, England, and Scotland as well as shores of France. She spent most of her time playing with sea creatures large and small, rarely being seen by a human. Other elementals saw more of the two legged creatures on the shores, especially when they ventured into the sea. So long as those from the land respected the sea, the elementals respected them. All things needed to eat and thus when they would take fish to feed themselves, it was perhaps sad but natural.

As a young elemental, Muireann did not understand the concepts of gender. As water is a giver of life, most humans referred to elementals as a woman, she. Tightly bound to the mother Earth, Muireann began to understand the sea was as a woman; a strong carrier for / giver & taker of life for all creatures. Even the humans were born out of the depths of the ocean, though they scarcely remembered -- their lives were so short.

When Muireann grew older, she became curious of the world of men and women, particularly the strange men who could not carry life but were somehow necessary. She often wondered of their purpose for they could be so angry and belligerent. What could possibly be the purpose of such creatures? Creatures that seemed to value violence over creation were alien to her. For many thousands of years she felt that all men were such people, violent, angry, and stayed away from them.

Over the many centuries of time, Muireann visited the land a few times and learned to mimic the humans. She could form herself into a man or a woman but did not understand either very well. She was closest to the women and thus would take that form and walk amongst them once or twice a century to learn more. The lives of humans were but drops in a bucket to her, age was relatively meaningless to her. She had no concept of death but began to understand the toll it took on the humans. She understood death and what it was for humans when she played with one that the currents had taken far, far out to sea. Believing the human to be like her, of the sea somehow, she did not know when the young girl sank into the ocean that it would be her final breath taken. Somehow she felt she owed the family for her carelessness. She began to know the child's family who lived by the sea, fishing and playing in the waters often. They named her; first Muireann for what she was -- of the sea. Later, their children's children began to refer to her by a surname, Shea out of respect for her. Muireann did not know why it meant respect but they respected her and she would watch over them, all of that clan, when they were out in the water. She especially loved to play with the children, they would swim out to the sea with such innocence.

Soon enough though, that too was at an end. One of the young men called to her, wading out into the ocean until he was far, far too distant form the shore. She came to escort him back, as she would do when one of the young ones were in trouble and about to take their final rest beneath the surface. Yet this young man asked her to stay with him and walk along the beach. She did, wondering what he could possibly want of her. She was of the sea, did he not understand this? He did but he begged her to leave the sea for him and be his, saying he loved her and professing devotion to her. When she told him she could not, he became angry and she fled, it was the last time she had seen the family. She knew the children would miss her but the young man had scared her, she knew that some men had magic that could trap or enslave an elemental, it had happened to some of her sisters. They would leave the sea and never return. She could not allow such a thing to happen no matter how much she would miss the little ones.

As the world turned and aged, many humans came in ships to explore the coasts. She stayed away from them. Eventually, she fled from the shores entirely, not wishing to see the young man again and fearing he would go out to sea to look for her. One day she was swimming with a pod of dolphins and playing with them, it was a bright and sunny day of happiness when she became disoriented and found herself suddenly in a deep cavern with no one around. A fairy bridge, she blocked it open with her magic but could not push her way back.
