Name: Lorelei the Siren (Lynnette Marie Delacour)
Race: Human
Age: 21
Gender: Female
Appearance:
Roughly 5’9”, Lorelei (or Lyn, as a select few are permitted to call her) has entrancing gold eyes, long, flowing dark brown locks that fall just below her shoulder blades, and a light, natural sun-kissed tan. Her body is shapely and lithe from her hours of extensive training and also for the purpose of keeping herself performance ready—she can’t afford to ‘let herself go’. Her hair is usually worn down or only partially up when performing, with several shorter strands framing her face. Offstage she typically wears it up in a long ponytail. Her arms are covered in henna tattoos from the tips of her fingers to a little past her elbow. They change about every month, but are relatively the same since she’s ambidextrous and does them herself. The tattoos cover up many of the cuts and callouses on her hands from working the ropes-- she usually treats these with potions and balms, but they're kind of a reoccurring thing. She has two vertical belly button piercings-- a simple gold gem and a silver stud ball and four small piercings along the long, pointed helix of her left ear—an assortment of small silver hoop earrings adorning them and one slightly larger hoop earring on each lobe. She has two silver labret piercings beneath the left side of her mouth and two vertical silver eyebrow piercings on the more lateral edge of her right eye. The way I picture her, she somewhat resembles a younger looking Antoinette Nikprelaj, and her voice sounds somewhat like Gemma Ward without the accent (like in Pirates of the Caribbean)-- though singing-wise it's a bit more refined.
Clothing/Armor:
For her performances, Lyn wears an assortment of outfits, but they're usually something similar to belly dancer attire; flowing cloth and halter-tops embellished to the max along with fine, decorative jewelry.
Off-stage she opts for something a bit less fancy, but comfortable and stylish nonetheless. She wears a dark brown/black choker necklace with a silver necklace with gold gems, a leather wrist band on her left hand, a leather glove on her right, and a dark red halter top with baggy black cargo capris, both with silver trim. She wears two deep grey-purple sashes that cross in the back and dark red shoes with a slight heel to them. On days when she is trying to be discreet or doesn't want any public attention, she wears a long black cloak with a hood. She usually wears smokey eye make-up, sometimes with a glittery gold bottom layer, and a light coating of red lipstick.
She doesn’t wear armor of any kind. Marcus, a sword swallower and fire mage she is occasionally forced to perform with deals with most tussles as her escort. Most armor would only restrict her mage abilities anyway.
Weapons:
On the right side of her waist she keeps a small, dagger with a velvety red hilt—she doesn’t know how to use it very well, never really having needed to use it before aside from maybe cutting up an apple, but she’s always figured it may come in handy should she ever get in a pinch, despite her lack of experience.
Skills:
Water (expert) ~ Under an old powerful water mage named Walter, one of the many circus mages, she discovered and developed her above-average talent for water magic.
Acrobatics (expert) ~ She’s a circus performer. Balance and agility are an absolute must for her shows-- and Lyn is one of the best. She's exceptional when it comes to flips, climbing, flexibility, and the like.
Shadow (major) ~ Because there are many Shadow mages in the Black Marsh Circus, she picked up a good deal of it on her own, working tirelessly to incorporate the magic into her act the best she could.
Athletics (major) ~ She’s a circus performer—she must go whole shows making every impossible feat seem like a breeze. An athlete of the highest caliber-- that's how she views herself anyway.
Sneak(minor) ~ Light on her feet and quiet as a mouse when she wants to be. See backstory.

Inventory:
Lynnette typically travels very light. She keeps her wallet in a small pouch at her waist. It is cinched, clipped, and buttoned shut to prevent thieves from slipping their grimy hands inside. She wears a dark leather satchel with colorful and intricate embroidery of some swamp flowers from Marshfall-- Crimson-Eyed Rose Mallows, orchids, and water lilies. Inside, she usually keeps her cloak. On the outside of the bag she has sewn eight cylindrical shaped pockets—used for holding eight bottles of potion—2 blue, 4 green, and 2 red. During shows she usually conceals these more discreetly on her person or elsewhere around the stage so she can drink one without the audience seeing if she is feeling fatigued or accidentally twists an ankle or wrist. Although she argued adamantly, Fyer and Falbi have insisted she carry a pen around in her pocket for autographs at all times. The same goes for why she always carries three or four Black Marsh Circus flyers in her satchel-- for publicity, they say. She also tends to carry a light brown, leather canteen of water with her whenever she isn't performing. She wears it on a strap that can be worn either just over her shoulder or across her chest, but whenever she has her satchel with her, she tucks it inside.

Backstory:
Lynnette is one of the main performers of a popular troupe known as The Black Marsh Circus—a circus well known for it’s “freakish horrors” as well as the beautiful Lorelei, dark enchantress of water and the hearts of men. The troupe consists of 25 colorful members, including three Zora (or two if you count the one with two heads as one person), five Gorons, one of which has four arms, and 18 humans; an assortment of musicians, magicians, and performers-- some more “normal” than others. When the circus isn't traveling from place to place, as it normally does, it stakes out in a colorful old theater boat typically anchored near the outskirts of Marshfall. Since most of those in the troupe don’t really have any other place to call home, most consider Marshfall to be their place of residency. The circus is successful enough to pay it’s troupe members enough money to make ends meat in spite of the hefty taxes.
The Black Marsh Circus, however, tends to bring in a good deal more money than it ought to—despite it’s success. Although there have been circulating rumors of the dark secrets surrounding the Black Marsh Circus for years, most folks tend to attribute them to the mystic and wonder of what goes on beneath tent, brushing off any warnings with “Oh, don’t be such a pussy.” Not all of the rumors are merely based on fear, however. The Ringmaster, Fyer, and his wife, Falbi, have been running the troupe for nearly four decades, acquiring very loyal troupe members with nefarious interests to match their own. The Circus, to a select few, has been known to do business with some shady characters—doing everything from sabotage to bounty hunting. Fyer, for the most part, is quite careful when it comes to who he does business for—being a greedy, but also very cowardly man, he fears invoking the wrath of powerful men and thus will not always agree to do just any job. So far, the troupe’s ruse has worked well for them.
Lynette, practically being the circus poster girl, doesn’t typically take part in the troupe’s dirty dealings—not directly anyway. Unless they have need of her water or shadow magic, she’s usually just the distraction. When her skills are typically needed for a job, all she has to do is sneak in, cast her spell, and leave-- which accounts for her sneak skill. In her younger years, however, Fyer used to have her take part in some of the smaller thieving tasks. While she proved to be perfectly capable of sneaking lithely in and out of places, however, she wasn't quite as talented when it came to nonchalantly slipping her hand into people's bags or pockets. It wasn't long before Fyer took her off 'thieving duty' and assigned her to other tasks. Most thieving of the audience takes place during her performances, anyway and, with her looks and reputation, all she usually has to do is bat her eyes and lean a little closer for most young men to hand over their hard earned rupees. This would account for why she doesn’t possess thievery skills.
As far as childhoods go, Lynnette's was definitely abnormal at best-- the circus has been a part of her life since birth. Her mother, in an act of angsty rebellion, ran away from her home in the Ikana Kingdom shortly before the gates closed to join the circus when she was very young-- too young to leave home for long without missing mommy and daddy and too naive to correlate this fact with the closing of the Ikana gates. Lyn's grandfather had been commissioned to move there and facilitate trade for his business whilst her mother's two older brothers, Sloan and Quin, enlisted to be Ikana Knights. For whatever reason, Lyn's grandparents decided to stay when the gates closed-- most likely because her grandfather was paid extra to stay so they could resume trade once the gates reopened, or so her mother reasoned. Lyn has her own suspicions, but has never voiced them-- least of all to her mother.
Lyn has never met her father-- nor has she ever sought him out. Although her mother always did her best to dodge the question, Lyn was keen enough to figure out the unfortunate events behind her birth well enough-- even at a young age. The circus became her home and all of those who were a part of it; her family. To Lyn, that was enough. Not growing up amidst other children and being around freaks, weirdos and creeps her whole life (yes, there's a difference), her social skills are a little worse for wear. She typically keeps people at arms length, treating them as customers or mere 'members of the audience' partially in order to prevent them from discovering her awkwardness and to keep up her Lorelei image. She rarely lets down her guard-- even to some of her fellow circus members.
Training for years under the many skilled performers of the Black Marsh Circus, Lyn was all but bred to be the money-raking star she is now-- unlike her mother, whose lack of ambition and cleverness never got her very far. Her water magic tutor, Walter, had been almost like a father (or perhaps grandfather) to her as well as her mother before he died of natural causes roughly four years ago. After years of rigorous training and time spent doing everything from cleaning the tiger's cage to filling in as a clown or magician's 'lovely assistant'-- she was finally cleared by Fyer to have her own act in the show. For the past two and a half years she has become something of a sensation in Termina-- adopting the name Lorelei the Siren and singing songs about the moon and sea whilst amazing customers with her magic, acrobatics, and allure.
With the upcoming festivities in Clock Town, the Black Marsh Circus wouldn't dream of missing out on such a beautiful business opportunity....
