Character info: Morlais Jernigan
Full name: Morlais Braith Jernigan
Personality: If bored were a personality trait, that would be Morlais. She's very deadpan a lot of the time, and with a kind of sleepy demeanor. When she's not, it might be because she's fed-up and angry. On first impression, she might appear shy, withdrawn, and demure, but upon getting to know her better it turns out she was simply disinterested and had been quietly judging everyone with a snarky internal monologue the entire time.
Though quiet and soft spoken, she has a great deal of pride and a larger sense of entitlement. It's very possible to get her excited about something, perhaps via promises of luxury and ritzy past times such as watching theater or attending a symphony. But if one promise such a thing, they better hold up to it. If they do, she'll be forever grateful. If not, they'll endure her carefully aimed bitterness.
History: Morlais grew up with a nomadic, seafaring tribe of Sidhe-identifying people called Selkies. She wasn't raised by a single mother or father, but rather by an entire community. Having lived a quiet life out at sea, Morlais only caught the rare story of rich lives in land via overhead conversation and newspapers caught in the wind. She decided very suddenly that the life of an aristocrat was the life for her, and naively set out to attain it.
Her first proper entry into land-bound life began on the shores of a small, Welsh fishing village A man by the name of Mr. Jernigan, who owned an ocean front property in the form of a humble inn was the first to spot the nude lass appear upon the wave battered rocks. With warm robes in hand, he went out to investigate her.
At some point during their exchange, Jernigan found himself possessing the selkie's pelt, and failed to return it to her. He promised to return it to her as a wedding gift if she agreed to marry him. Morlais obliged with the added stipulation that they would move away from the small village and into a larger, more happening city. He agreed, and the two were wed.
Unfortunately for Morlais, Mr. Jernigan failed to fulfill both promises, and their marriage quickly grew bitter. Never the less, during the first of five years she had been married, Morlais mothered twin daughters (both of whom she loves dearly). She plays the harp as an attraction for patrons of the inn while her husband manages employees, finances, and inventory. He flirts with female patrons and has been far less than faithful to his strange faerie wife. She could not have cared less until learning that her husband expected faithlessness to be a one-sided game.
Life in the small villiage proves dull and lacking stimulation for Morlais. She still searches every day for her pelt and swears that upon finding it, she'll not retreat back into the ocean, but that she will escape to forge a new life for herself among the upper social echelons of luxurious city living.
