Mimith Algesiar

Mimu
Mimith Algesiar or her simplified name, "Mimu" is a Nereid - a water-dwelling sentient creature from the depths of the Worldocean. Only the most adventurous and daring of her kind choose to travel on the surface.

Nereids are a complex people made up of many races and nations. Surfacefolk only get to see a small subset of nereids - a subset usually made up of those warriors or free spirits who find business with the surface world, and those unlucky enough to be caught by surface hunters and forced into a life of slavery.

A nereid resembles a streamlined elf with scaly webbed toes and fingers while out of the water, and bluish or greenish skin that is smooth and slick to the touch. While fully emmersed in a body of water, their limbs transform into either webbed fins or tentacles (according to their race). Their facial features are soft, with elongated ears and large eyes adapted to see underwater. They speak Aquan when underwater, can breath air above, and are capable of speaking in surface tongues (though few bother to learn any).

Separated from her society and immersed in a land where many are hostile to her kind, Mimu either has to be friendly and disarming enough to make friends wherever she goes, or be badass enough that nobody can afford to give her trouble. She is a fisher and treasure seeker by trade, has a voracious appetite, and has trained under the legendary song-witch Anthemoessa. Attracted to myst and all its wonder at an early age, Mimu began to hunt for mythrium treasures in the deep Worldocean. Often her dreams would point her in a direction of interest... and often, they'd be spot-on. It was on one of her hunts near Awashima that she encountered a group of surface-dwelling adventurers seeking an exit to a sunken temple they happened into.
