Appearance

Physical Description

She’s around 5’9 - lean and muscular, with the air of someone almost completely comfortable.

Body Features

Her skin is pale with translucent scales dotted along her hairline, collar bones and upper arms. When in the sea, L’huuna has a tail which starts at her hipbones, ending in a diaphanous fin like a Siamese fighting fish. Her scales are hues of blues and reds. When out of the water, this tail becomes two separate legs, which allow her to walk. However, the scales and the colours remain. Her toes, on her land form, remain webbed and are usually bare - she hates wearing boots if she can avoid it. Her upper body is the shape of a humanoid woman.

Facial Features

L’huuna has side-parted red hair which is buzz cut on her left side and long past her shoulders on the other. She wears a gold ear cuff and chain (think Bajoran earring) trimmed with pearls on the exposed ear. Her face is delicate, the nose slightly upturned, the pale lips smiling slightly lopsidedly, but it is her eyes which catch your attention. L’huuna’s eyes, like all the merfolk, have no whites. Hers are completely indigo - the most common colour amongst mermaid folk, to be fair - but are flecked with unusual golden sparks.

Identifying Characteristics

There is a simple black tattoo of a crescent moon, the points leading downwards, on her upper right arm.

Apparel & Accessories

Her breastplate, although it fits her form closely, it looks like a motley infestation of barnacles, shells and coral shapes. If you watch her for long enough while she’s at rest (which she won’t be for long, mind you) you might catch sight of a questing tentacle, eye stalk or curious stinger, reaching out from within those shells and forms. It is quite, quite alive. She carries a sword sheathed at her back which looks to have a bone handle, wound with brown hair,

Personal history

L’huuna was an only child - brought up with nursemaid P’henja (female, 40, merfolk)
and tutor Ja’haani (male, cleric, sea-elf, 35 years old) who was much beloved by her, and travelled with them everywhere. She was taught academic subjects, religious studies, etiquette and languages, but spent most of her time swimming around and getting into trouble.
 
L’huna lived a rather nomadic life until she was 15 years old. She travelled around with her mother and father on their diplomatic travels, although they annually visited their family home location in The Merfolk capital city for one month a year.
 
L’huna learnt to be something of a social chameleon, using her charisma and humour to fit in with locals of her age in which other environment she was thrown in. Increasing attempts to impress them and amuse them lead to Wild antics and stunts - games of truth or dare, sneaking out at night, and generally bending and breaking the rules she was set by her nurse and tutor.
 
This behaviour continued to escalate - brought on in part by the fact that her parents largely ignored her - until she was arrested, age 15, for joyriding the sacred octopus through the streets of the city which her mother was trying to form a peace treaty with.
 
In despair, L’huna’s parents finally sent her to military school.
 
L’huna Had a rather Chequered career in the Marines. She was sent up for subordination several times, but in general she learnt some discipline. she found the family - for a while at least - that she had always felt that you've missed and she was happy.
 
And then her marine unit was assigned to that cursed mission...
 
It suffices to say that L'huna's life was changed. She went to train as a Paladin, and three years later returned to Saltmarsh and sought out Victor Salt. At the start of the campaign, she has already been sailing with victor or about a year. They are fast friends and trusted allies.

Education

Tutors trained her to be a lady and failed. Marines trained her to be disciplined. It did not go well.
