Rua grew up happy, on the outskirts of Crustanton, her mother a talented fashion designer. She quickly took after her, expecting to one day continue the family trade. Unfortunately, her family also had strong revolutionary views, which they would subtly incorporate into their designs. One of these outfits ended up finding its way to the Abyssal Court during a private performance, the symbology outraging a few of the nobles.
Most of this went unnoticed by Rua, but from that day on, things slowly began to change. Neighbors who’d once been polite and friendly, now began scowling at her, friends began to distance themselves from her, clients no longer gushed about how much she looked like her mother. A few months later, she came to learn why.
Rather than simply punishing their family directly, one especially disgusted Abyssal Lord had used his influence to manufacture bad omens to the Currents of the Lake. In just a few months, her family had gone from revered fashion designers, to cursed untouchables who were a threat to the order of the Continental Lake. In time, the distance others showed to them became bitterness, bitterness became anger, and anger became hatred.
That day, she learned a valuable lesson about the cruelty people were capable of. Her family was dragged away by a mob of frantic neighbors, all insisting it was for the safety of the lake. Were it not for Rua hiding away, she would’ve been dragged off with them. Some days, she imagines it might’ve been better that way, because at least then she’d know what happened, instead of all the guessing.

Left with no other option, Rua headed for the surface, where no one cared much about the superstitions of the Currents, if they knew about them at all. Her talents allow her to live comfortably, though she never really feels comforted, especially in all that… air. While the incident is still strong in memory, enough time has passed that Rua is ready to start making new connections in the surface world.

Jellyfish people. The Vallenti are a race of aquatic beastfolk known for their ghostly, translucent bodies, which are far more lightweight than most mammals. Despite incredible weakness, tiny, microscopic stingers provide self-defense against would-be attackers. Most Vallenti tend to have long hair, regardless of gender, as the hair also contains stingers. This provides a secondary layer of defense, both against attackers, and any hairdressers daring enough to tackle Vallentinian hair.
