history

Lithium Amaranth is a Kelpie cursed to remain in human form by a Mage that her herd had angered. They had been driven inland by a large storm while most of the mares in the herd were either with child or caring for newborns. With the storms raging and preventing them from their usual hunts, they were forced to eat what they could find in the forest they were hiding it... which wasn't much. A few of the younger members of the herd ventured into town and stole a young boy to eat, driven by their hunger in their starved state. Unfortunately, the boy they stole was the Mage's son. Once she realized her son had been taken, she sprung into action with the other villagers and hunted down the kelpie herd. Many of Li's herd were slaughtered, children included. Li watched as her own daughter was killed in front of her. She flew into a rage attacking her daughter's killers and in the end, she was caught in one of the hunter's nets. She fought wildly to get free and because no one could get close to her in order to kill her, she was one of the last to remain alive. The Mage used this opportunity to place a curse upon the remaining Kelpies. They were cursed to remain in their human forms for the rest of eternity and unable to touch water without pain. The curse was designed to slowly drive them mad by making them more and more human over time, forcing them to confront the guilt of all the lives they've taken over the years to feed their own appetites. Of the five that were cursed, Li is the last one standing. The others were either killed or committed suicide as they lost more and more of themselves to the curse of humanity. However, Li... was a fighter and despite being trapped in one form, she held tight to her anger and her animal instincts, letting them guide her as the years wore on. Because of the tragedy and the conditions of her own curse, she's not... the gentlest creature around and can be down right cutthroat and brutal both with actions and words. But, for now, she wanders the world looking for a way to break her curse.

personality

Li is very rough around the edges and almost constantly angry at something. She's crass, condescending and above all, inhuman. Lithium doesn't understand much about human emotions nor why they care about some of the things they do. To her the world revolves around survival of the fittest and she's determined to survive no matter what the costs.

abilities

Cursed: Cursed: Li can't do much with the curse upon her. However, she still retains a lot of the same endurance, strength and speed that she had in her equine form making her one person you don't want to get in a fight with.

Non-cursed: She can shift between her human form and that of a black mare with a mane and tail that looks constantly wet. She can appear as a typical mare or as more of a nightmarish creature like the legends describe her kind to be. Her skin can become sticky to trap human prey so she can drag them down to eat.

Horses: Li has the ability to speak with horses whether she's cursed or not considering she is essentially a horse herself in all respects accept for looks.
