Vaela Marrowmere
the Inkvein Siren
Named for the dark vein of ink that runs through the deep sea's heart, and the cold marrow of the first drowned world.
Power
Inkshadow — you pull the ink from the darkness and shape it into a tangible copy of any creature you have killed, but the copy is always hungry and you must feed it a new memory each tide.
- Familiar
- a pale, ink-stained sea hare named Stylus
- Tide
- the Marrow Drift
“Stop writing in the dark,” your mother said, but the sea had already filled your mouth with its alphabet. You were born with ink in your veins, and every syllable you swallow becomes a shadow. The other merfolk scribble warnings on their skin; you write elegies on the belly of the deep.
