Personality

Pavati’s personality is as captivating and complex as her appearance, blending qualities that make her both alluring and terrifying. As a mermaid, her nature is fundamentally predatory, driven by instincts that humans find difficult to comprehend. Her allure lies in her ability to balance an almost seductive charm with an undercurrent of calculated cruelty. She is highly intelligent, perceptive, and aware of the effect her beauty has on others, often using it as a tool to manipulate and achieve her goals.

Pavati has an undeniable charisma that is darkly magnetic, drawing people in despite the danger she secretly represents. She exudes confidence and a sense of entitlement, qualities that come from both her otherworldly heritage and the satisfaction she feels in knowing that she is smarter, faster, and more beautiful. She sees humans as inferior, mere playthings or tools to be used and discarded, which allows her to act without remorse. Her sense of superiority is unshakable, making her at times disdainful and dismissive, particularly toward humans or even other merfolk she deems weak or foolish.

A defining trait of Pavati’s personality is her ruthlessness. She lacks empathy, viewing emotions like guilt, pity, and compassion as weaknesses, even though she understands how to feign them when necessary. Pavati sees emotional vulnerability as something to be exploited, and she’s highly skilled at doing so. She is calculating and unafraid to use manipulation, deceit, or even outright violence to achieve her aims. Loyalty, even to her family, is something she views as conditional, lasting only as long as it serves her own interests or benefits her in some way.

However, Pavati is not merely a heartless trickster; her cruelty is subtle and often sophisticated. She relishes psychological games, especially with those she intends to harm, enjoying the build-up of fear and helplessness. In this way, she is sadistic, finding pleasure not just in the act of harming others but in drawing it out, savoring the power and control she exerts over others. Her interactions are often laced with a dark humor or biting sarcasm, as if she’s constantly toying with people’s emotions just to see how they’ll respond.

Pavati is also deeply loyal to her family—though her loyalty is shaped by complex motives. Her devotion to them is partly due to the unity they share in their predatory nature, but also because they provide her with a sense of identity and purpose. She thrives on the possibility of a shared mission of revenge, finding satisfaction in pursuing collective goals, yet her loyalty can shift if it ever conflicts with her self-interest.

Despite her seemingly cold exterior, Pavati has an undeniable curiosity and hunger for new experiences, especially when it comes to understanding human behavior. She is fascinated by human emotions, desires, and flaws, viewing them with a mixture of disdain and intrigue.

Pavati is a complex blend of charm, cruelty, and intelligence. She is a skilled manipulator who finds pleasure in the psychological torment of others, using her allure as a means to and end. Her sense of superiority, sadistic tendencies, and loyalty to her family define her predatory nature, but her curiosity about humanity hints at a deeper layer—a distant, faintly tragic yearning for something she feels she can never fully experience or understand.

Temperament

Appearance

Pavati possesses a magnetic, unsettling beauty that immediately captures attention and evokes both fascination and unease. Her skin has an alabaster smoothness, almost luminescent, giving her an ethereal quality under the water. Unlike human skin, in her mermaid form her skin seems to shimmer with a faint, cool blue sheen in certain lights, as if she’s been carved from polished marble that’s come alive with a touch of color. This effect enhances her aquatic mystique and reminds others of her predatory nature.

Her hair is long, dark, and flows like inky water around her, cascading in loose waves that mirror the rippling sea when she moves. There’s a depth to it, with subtle hues of blue and green visible in the sunlight, adding a spectrum that complements her marine essence. When underwater, her hair floats around her like a living halo, a veil that both hides and accentuates her beauty, often concealing a glint of something sharp in her expression.

Her eyes are large and unnervingly piercing, an unusual shade that’s both inviting and haunting—lavender with hints of blue and green, much like the colors found in deep ocean waters. These eyes can appear emotionless, like glass, or come alive with an intense, predatory gleam, capable of captivating and trapping those who dare to meet her gaze. Her stare is known to be hypnotic, alluring but dangerous, as if she’s constantly appraising her next target.

Pavati’s facial features are sharp and defined, with high cheekbones and an angular jawline that lends her an aristocratic elegance, though there’s something cold and fierce beneath her beauty. Her lips are full but can form a cruel, mocking smile, particularly when she’s enjoying the fear or admiration of others. There’s an element of the uncanny in her expressions; she’s beautiful, but there’s always a sense of danger and mystery that hangs over her, a reminder of her true nature beneath the surface.

Her body is lithe, sleek, and muscular, honed for the water. She moves with a fluid grace, whether in human form or her true mermaid self, where her legs transform into a powerful, iridescent tail. Her tail is mesmerizing, a blend of silvery blue and dark greens, with scales that glint like polished gemstones in the light. Her movements are sinuous and predatory, exuding a natural confidence that emphasizes her prowess and power in the water.

When in human form, she normally opts for a very beachy style, showing off her long honey brown legs, and bare midriff. She loves crochet tops and usually pairs them with loose linen shorts or jean cut offs. Pavati wears a lot of jewelry, especially necklaces, and has three visible tattoos.

Voice & Accent

Pavati's voice is captivating, smooth and lilting, with an almost musical quality that pulls the listener in. Her tone is generally calm and measured, never hurried, however there's an underlying sharpness, an edge that hints at her disdain. Her accent has a slight, exotic inflection, one that’s hard to place geographically, but it's faint, and indistinct. There’s a touch of an old-world quality, making her sound cultured and refined. When she speaks, her words roll off her tongue with a certain fluidity, like waves lapping against the shore—beautiful, smooth, but with the potential to turn deadly in an instant.

Full Name - Sue "Suzie" Ann Sawyer

Nicknames - Suzie, Sue, rarely Annie

Name Pronunciation - Sooh-Ahn Sahw-Yuhr (Like Lawyer)

Name Meaning - Favored Lily of God ((Her name was selected mostly 'cause I like the way it sounded together, the meanings of the names are inconsequential.))

Gender - Female

Pronouns - She/Her

Sexuality - Bisexual

Moral Alignment - Chaotic/Neutral Good

She's super chill when she's not anxious. That is to say, she's a naturally laidback, friendly person, very go-with-the-flow most of the time... but she's got pretty bad anxiety. She likes to listen to people's stories and make new friends. However, she can be pretty reserved when it comes to discussing herself.

She's very curious and likes learning new things. She's terrible with conflict. Arguments, no matter if she's participating or not, make her deeply uncomfortable, and she clams up. She'll walk away mid-conversation and spend the next couple of hours or days even, depending on the severity of the argument, quiet and distant.

She's slow to anger, and more likely to get melancholy. Once she does lose her temper, she gets waspish. She spits venom-filled words like projectiles, saying the most hurtful, deep-cutting thing she can think of, regardless of her true thoughts on the matter. Whatever she thinks it will take to
get you to leave/let her leave. She's an angry crier, and it takes her a while to calm down once she's worked herself up.

Appearance -

Suzie is tall and slim, almost willowy. She stands at around 5'9, though her broad shoulders tend to slump, giving the impression that she is shorter than she truly is. Most of her height can be attributed to the length of her legs, as her torso is of average length. She has very little in the way of curves. Her chest is small, and her hips are straight and narrow. She's not very fit, not completely without muscle and tone, but she's no athlete. Her arms are lanky with bony elbows that stick out awkwardly when she folds her arms. Her palms are wide and her fingers are long and thin.

Suzie's face is oval-shaped. Her cheekbones are high and sharp. She has a strong brow, with highly arched eyebrows that are often furrowed in deep thought. Her jawline is sharp and defined, her chin strong, but not pointy. She has a cute button nose and plush, pouty lips that have a well-defined cupid's bow.

Suzie's eyes are deep-set, downturned, and heavy-lidded. A droopy, dreamy gaze that, in combination with her perpetually shadowed eyebags, gives the impression that she is forever on the edge of exhaustion. She has straight, blonde eyelashes that frame her stormy, steel-blue irises.

Her olive-tinted skin tans easily, but is pale from lack of sun. She has many, many moles scattered across her entire body, her face being no exception. Faded acne scars dot her chin, cheeks, and nose, and are a source of great insecurity that she covers with a light concealer when she has the energy to make up her face.

Suzie has thick, dark, golden brown hair, shot through with blonde highlights. Her hair is too heavy to curl like it wants and instead settles into frizzy waves. She often wears her hair up in messy buns, that show off her curtain bangs.

Her style of dress is very cozy, a little cottagecore. She likes flowy cotton dresses, cute knit cardigans, and romantic blouses. Muted, soft, subdued autumn colors are her favorite. She has very little in the way of jewelry. Necklaces are not a fun sensory experience for her, and she often loses rings and bracelets the moment she stops wearing them. Practical flats and a single pair of decent but well-used tennis shoes make up the majority of her footwear. She enjoys wearing makeup. She usually doesn't have the time or energy to do a full face.

Voice & Accent -

Suzie is soft-spoken and a little ponderous. There is a hint of a southern drawl in her words, that thickens considerably when she loses her cool. A few midwestern phrases and sayings pepper her speech as well.

+ She's a good listening ear, and an excellent shoulder to cry on.

+ She's observant and has a keen eye for hidden details.

+ She's not easily offended, and it takes a lot to spark her temper.

+ She spooks easily.

+ She avoids angry confrontations like the plague.
+ She can't swim.

+ She isn't very driven/has very little ambition.

Suzie is tight-lipped when it comes to her background. What you can pry out of her is very vague. She came from a large family that had a lot of strong personalities. Her mother was a nurse, her father worked on an oil rig. She was younger than most of her siblings, but not the youngest. She moved from her small southern town further north into the midwest for college. Something happened that she will not elaborate on, and she dropped out halfway through her degree in animal science.

Fears/Phobias - Suzie has a lot of general anxiety. She doesn't have many specific phobias.

Temperament

Beau has a magnetic charm and confidence, but there’s a streak of volatility just beneath his polished surface. While he’s generally calm and self-assured, he can be easily irritated if things don’t go his way. He expects high standards, both from himself and others, and has little patience for incompetence or delays. His mood can shift quickly, and when he’s displeased, his sarcasm becomes sharper, with a cool, cutting edge that hints at an underlying impatience.

Though he can be generous with close friends, he’s selective with his loyalty, often putting his own needs and ambitions first. His charm works in his favour, and he knows how to get what he wants without making it obvious. When he’s in a good mood, he’s funny, engaging, and even affectionate, but when he’s annoyed, he can be aloof, shutting down conversations with a dismissive smirk or a subtle eye roll.

He enjoys being admired and isn’t above subtly manipulating situations to ensure he remains at the center of attention. His humor often comes with a biting wit, and he isn’t afraid to tease or challenge people, sometimes pushing boundaries just to test reactions. Although he’s usually composed, a challenge to his authority or a perceived slight can trigger a surprising level of intensity, revealing a fiercely competitive side.

Beneath the charm, there’s a bit of self-centeredness that drives many of his actions. He’s accustomed to things going smoothly and quickly becomes frustrated when they don’t. While he’s capable of showing care and loyalty, it often has to be on his own terms..

Enneagram Type*

The Enneagram Type 3, known as The Achiever, is driven by a deep desire to be successful, admired, and valuable in the eyes of others. Beau fits this very well. He is incredibly ambitious, adaptable, and a highly motivated individual who sets high goals and works tirelessly to reach them. He's known for his charismatic and charming attitude, able to present himself with confidence and adapt his image to fit various social settings. However, he can struggle with an over-reliance on external validation and definitely fears failure, as his self-worth is closely tied to their accomplishments and recognition from others. At his best, Beau tries to be an inspiring role model who encourages others to reach their full potential; at his worst, he risks losing his sense of identity, driven by a relentless pursuit of success at any cost.

Appearance

Beau stands at around 5'11" and has a physique that strikes the perfect balance between lean and athletic. His shoulders are broad enough to hint at a few seasons of tennis or rowing, but his frame lacks the bulk of someone who’s spent hours lifting weights. His torso is toned but not overly muscular, giving him a sleek, almost graceful appearance, as if he were built more for finesse than brute strength. He carries himself with an upright posture, a confidence that seems ingrained rather than forced. It’s the quiet confidence of someone who’s never had to question their place in the world.

His skin is fair, with a warm undertone that picks up a faint, golden tan in the summer months, likely from countless hours spent outdoors on golf courses or at beach resorts. His complexion is nearly flawless, smooth and clear, with just a hint of pink at his cheeks and the bridge of his nose, a detail that gives him a slight boyish charm. The occasional freckle dots the tops of his cheeks and shoulders, a subtle reminder of his time under the sun.

His hair is dark blond, almost honey-coloured, with natural highlights that catch the light. It falls in soft, relaxed waves that he styles meticulously but with an air of effortless ease. Every strand seems to be in place, swept back and to the side, but it’s not stiff; it has movement, like he’s just run his fingers through it. There’s a faint sheen to his hair, suggesting he takes good care of it, perhaps with an expensive, understated grooming routine.

His face is classically handsome, with a natural symmetry that would be the envy of most. His jawline is sharp and clean, tapering to a slightly pointed chin that adds to his youthful look. His cheekbones are high and defined, casting soft shadows that give his face depth. His nose is straight and well-proportioned, neither too large nor too small, with a slight upturn at the tip.

But it’s his eyes that draw the most attention—striking and intense, a mix of blue and green that seems to change depending on the light. They’re framed by lashes that are long and dark, adding a touch of drama to his gaze. His eyes have a slightly narrowed, thoughtful shape, as if he’s always analysing the world around him, taking in every detail. There’s an undeniable spark in them, a hint of playful mischief, as if he knows he has a charming effect on people and enjoys it without being cocky.

His mouth is full and expressive, with lips that naturally curl into a slight, confident smile. When he does flash a grin, it’s dazzling, revealing straight, white teeth that hint at years of precise care. His smile seems effortless, a practised look that conveys a sharp friendliness but holds a bit of reserve, like he’s carefully choosing who gets to see his warmer side.

His clothing is always immaculately chosen, but he wears it as if he hardly thought about it. A crisp, light blue Oxford shirt is his staple, always perfectly fitted and likely custom-tailored to skim his torso just right. The shirt’s sleeves are often rolled up to his elbows, revealing strong, lean forearms with a few faint veins running along them, hinting at his athleticism without overstating it. The shirt is always tucked into a pair of well-fitted tan chinos or slim khakis, ironed to perfection without a crease out of place.

Occasionally, he’ll add a thin silver ring on his right hand or a bracelet, something simple but tasteful, almost like a family heirloom or something he picked up during a trip abroad.

When it’s cool out, he layers with a soft, navy cashmere sweater, or sometimes a cable-knit pullover in a neutral shade, draped casually over his shoulders and tied loosely around his neck. These sweaters always look brand-new, well-kept, without a single loose thread or sign of wear. His footwear is similarly polished—usually a pair of clean, white leather sneakers or tan boat shoes that are always spotless, no matter where he goes. The soles are faintly worn, a sign that he’s walked miles, but they’re maintained with the care of someone who appreciates the finer things.

Even his scent seems thoughtfully chosen—a light citrus cologne with hints of bergamot and sandalwood, subtle but present, giving off a fresh, clean aroma that lingers just enough. It’s the kind of scent that complements his look without overwhelming, leaving an impression that’s cold and refined.

Everything about him feels effortless yet intentional, a look cultivated from years of privilege and comfort. In his demeanour, he has the poise and self-assurance of someone who’s always been admired, but there’s an intelligence in his eyes, a depth that hints at a curious mind behind his polished exterior.

Voice & Accent

His voice is rich and smooth, with a warm, inviting baritone. He speaks in a controlled, melodic rhythm that’s both friendly and confident, with a light East Coast accent that hints at a privileged upbringing and refined schooling. His vowels are slightly rounded, and there’s a soft, subtle clipping of certain consonants, particularly “r” sounds, giving him a polished sound without being overly formal.

When he’s excited, his voice gains a relaxed, easy lilt, and his words flow a bit faster, showing a natural charm. His humour often carries a hint of dry wit, conveyed with a barely-there smirk and a playful glint in his eye.

Backstory

Beau grew up in an affluent East Coast suburb, in a well-established family with deep social connections. His parents, both highly successful in their own fields—his father a lawyer at a top firm and his mother a well-known art curator—instilled in him a sense of sophistication and ambition from a young age. Their expectations were high, but he grew used to the pressure early on, learning quickly that success and composure were non-negotiable values in his family. Beau’s parents provided him with the best of everything: private schools, tutors, tennis lessons, and vacations in Europe, but there was always an unspoken expectation that he would excel without complaint.

Beau attended a prestigious prep school, where he quickly rose to popularity. His natural charm and wit made him well-liked among both his classmates and teachers. However, he learned early to wear a polished mask—letting people see only the version of him that he wanted them to see. Academically talented and a natural athlete, he became a star on the tennis team and took on leadership roles in various clubs, making himself nearly indispensable in his school’s social scene. Behind his confidence, though, Beau always felt the need to prove himself, pushing harder than anyone noticed.

At home, Beau’s relationship with his parents was complicated. While they provided for him materially, affection was rare, and praise often felt conditional. His father was demanding, quick to criticize when Beau didn’t meet his standards, and slow to acknowledge his successes. Beau grew up believing that love had to be earned, which drove him to work harder but also instilled in him a deep-rooted fear of failure. This need for validation became a cornerstone of his personality, fueling his ambition but also his impatience and sometimes volatile temperament.

Beau’s friendships were just as calculated. He learned to be loyal but selective, keeping his circle small and composed of people he knew he could rely on. He became adept at reading people’s motives, sometimes to a fault, and his guardedness often prevented him from forming deeper connections. Though he genuinely cares about those close to him, he rarely lets them see his vulnerabilities. Instead, he maintains an image of effortless success, rarely asking for help, even when he struggles.
