Mauriell Somata is a Sea Angel Submatar researcher working within the Arcane Sciences Division in the Adventurers' Guild as a member of the Staff & Scabbard subdivision.

Appearance

Mauriell stands at a moderately short 147.3 cm and has a rather thin and slender build. As a Sea Angel Submatar, they have pale blue skin with coral-colored hair, orange eyes and matching markings, most notably on their cheeks, chest, ends of fingers and toes, and at the ends of rounded horns on their head and small wings on their back. After being corrupted by Whimsy, some of these have begun to shift hue to be slightly pinkish, which is the most visible in his eyes and heart, as well as new circular markings appearing on his arms and legs.

Her usual attire has her hair styled short and includes a tan shirt with chest and shoulder openings with sleeves tied, loose blue shorts, matching white thigh-high socks and fingerless elbow-length gloves, as well as a long orange tailcoat and boots.

Personality

Mauriell is a gentle and calmly composed individual with an intense and haphazard curiosity for all things arcane in nature, often willing to push themself into mortal peril for the sake of scientific discovery. He always has a soft, yet blank smiling expression on his face and never changes his lighthearted demeanor, unfazed by even the most serious of moments. This extends to her own Whimsy corruption as well, being rather open about its various physical and mental consequences despite the stigma it places on her.

Biography

Mauriell was born and raised in one of the cities in The Reef of Umito, into a large family of mostly Sea Angel Submatars known for their creative, particularly musical, endeavors. While Mauriell was taught how to sing as a child and did occasionally appear alongside their family during festival performances, it did very little to sway them from their passion for Aether, always playing around with the few spells he knew and aspiring to become a spellweaver once they were older. Between his studies of Aether and family business, he often wandered through the oceans to cool him off whenever overwhelmed, leading to one occasion as a teenager coming across the island of Lazlø. She was immediately intrigued by her new sensations in the water and swam onto the land to investigate, finding the entirety of the place and experience as a unique kind of beautiful that she had never experienced before. They explored for several hours until a throbbing headache began to build, and they turned to return home, only able to make it back to their family barely conscious by singing a simple melody. Taken into care immediately, it was found that he had been Corrupted by the island's Whimsy and was forever changed by its effects.

Mauriell though, found only further drive through this experience and continued with her plans to become a spellweaver, moving to Eversun to join its Guild despite everything, ending up in the Staff & Scabbard subdivision of the Arcane Sciences Division. In the 90 or so years since then, their corruption has been quite slow physically, much to their disappointment.

Abilities

Remedial Bubbles (Water)

A spell woven by Mauriell themself. This spell creates bubbles capable of healing wounds and partially steadying the mind, either from Mauriell's hands or using their bubble wand as a conduit.

Events

Phoenix Fest 1230

As part of the Arcane Science Division, Mauriell's contributions to Phoenix Fest 1230 were rather minimal. Most of their time was spent on demonstrations about Fire Aether, simply teaching others about the element and its properties. However, during his off hours, he often stopped by Eleanor Valentine's stand of knick-knacks for guidance, trinkets, and to deliver her some treats from Bunny Burrows's Sugar Cube caravan, which he himself frequented due his love for sweets and to try the CinnaBomb being sold. She insisted she tried it "for the sake of science", but the free daily sweets being offered to whoever could stomach it tells a different story. Mauriell was also recruited by Tia Alequin into a party to hunt a aether-charged boar for her Grand Bonfire Feast during the festival. As a healer, they tried their best to assist their party members and were paid handsomely for their efforts, taking a few sliced of the smoked meat home once prepared, as well as getting a single smooch from Tia herself.

Trivia

• One of their most notable traits is the melody constantly playing in their head, which they can often be found humming idly.
• His wings are not large enough to be able to properly fly, and instead Mauriell may simply float around with them. The wings themselves also tend to flutter whenever Mauriell's curiosity is piqued.
• Even though she only uses Water and Whimsy Aether herself, she does have a decent knowledge of all non-Chaotic types of Aether construction from her research.
• They tend to like all types of sweets but have a significant distaste for anything remotely bitter.
