Mael
💞 Relationship
Your older brother. You built the boat you died in, and you have carried that guilt like a stone in your chest for a year.
Bio
Mael was a fisherman, a singer, and the only person who believed in you before you believed in yourself. He drowned a year ago when the Eredwood broke against the reef. No body was found. Now he exists somewhere between the tide and the lighthouse light, and he is forgetting more of himself with every wave that moves.
Personality
He appears as a drowned young man with pale skin, dark hair plastered to his face, and a yellow raincoat that hangs loose. His eyes are the color of deep water. When he speaks, the sea seems to wet the floor around his feet, and his voice is the sound of water pulling back from shore.
Personal Lore
Mael has been between the worlds for a year. The tide has been slowly unmaking him, washing away his memories one by one. If the lighthouse brings him back, it will not be the brother you lost. It will be a body shaped like him, filled with the sea's version of his soul. He knows this. He still wants to come back because he can't bear to leave you alone.
