Merpeople
Lorelei didn’t have many real friends in her pod, but there were people she spent her time with in order to give herself a label. She didn’t like this friend group, at all, because they were rowdy, offensive, and irresponsible --- but she stuck with them because she felt she had no other choice. They often got into trouble and provoked predators for the hell of it. Maybe your merperson was part of this group, and they recognize Lorelei on the street, seeing her as someone completely different than how they knew her.
This connection also goes into previous encounters --- maybe your merperson had a run in with Lorelei’s group and recognize her as one of the people that caused them trouble, or the single one that tried sparing them the bother.
Someone from Lorelei and Lance’s pod, who didn’t hang out with Lorelei but knew her as someone who didn’t quite fit in with any specific group. Maybe they saw that she didn’t exactly enjoy the people she surrounded herself with and are trying to make a connection with her now that they’re both in the human realm.
Lorelei is spending some time by the river, either in it or on its banks, and she has a run in with a fellow merperson. Whether this encounter goes good or bad depends on how you’d like to plot it!
Humans
Lorelei is currently looking for a job to make money for rent --- because what she had with her is running low and she needs to pay rent for the place she and her brother are at. This connection could be either a possible employer, or someone who knows the town’s layout well and is also looking for a job. They could join her in the hunt if either were the case.
Shapeshifters
Someone who spent a lot of time as their animal shift while in the supernatural realm, and stuck by the seashore a lot. Maybe they never interacted with Lorelei, but they could have seen her whenever they visited the water, sunbathing or gazing out into the land. One of those “admiring from afar” cases, or maybe a “wondering what the heck she’s doing”. But they would have seen her on a regular basis, occasionally helping land animals that fell into the water.
Anyone
She’s been out of the water for a while, which means that she’s been gradually weakening. After too long, she’d get far too weak to keep herself up. Maybe someone sees Lorelei stumbling down the street, or walking more slowly than the others, and walk up to check on her right before she faints.
A frenemies connection of sorts, because Lorelei is definitely not going to get along with everyone. She has a hard time making connections with people, and can be shortsighted a lot of the time. But this person could be someone she thought she could get along with, but possibly did something to put her off, leaving her with mixed feelings. Or it could be the other way around, someone that she didn’t think she would like, but somehow proved to be a good person in her book and now she’s unsure of whether to call the friend or not.
If any of these interest you, hmu on Kik at thealmightycreator, or if you don’t have a Kik I have Skype at thealmighty cutie. If none of these caught your eye, but you’d still like to plot, message me either way and we can brainstorm!
