Ilma Marlinshell
the Brinequeen Siren
Born of the water that bites and the shell of the swift hunter, named for the first storm she cursed into silence.
Power
Stormtongue — you can command lightning from a clear sky, but each strike shatters a pearl from the strand you keep in your hair, and the sea takes something it never returns.
- Familiar
- a spiny sea-dragon named Regent
- Tide
- the Brinequeen's Surge
You will not sing for the Shoalcourt, though they have offered you a throne of coral and the keys to every tide. You have seen what happens to queens who let the storm answer to someone else. So you keep your voice low and your lightning close, and you rule the salt alone.
