Ariella Tanaka

Ariella Tanaka is a type 1 demigod, and daughter of Jasmine Tanaka, an oni goliath, and Triton, Greco-Roman Immortal of the navy, and herald to his father, Poseidon.

Lore
Jasmine Tanaka was born the goliath daughter of two members of a pirate group. Her father was the human captain, and her mother was his first mate, and an oni. Many many years they sailed the sea, acting akin to Robin Hood and his Merry Men, though, while Robin Hood roamed Sherwood Forest, the crew of the Red Cutlass sailed the seven seas, robbing from other pirates, and giving it to the less fortunate. One day, Jasmine met a young man while they were ashore, and they fell in love. Jasmine knew that something was strange about her suitor, but she liked it. After a while, the young couple found out that she was pregnant, and then her young suitor revealed himself to be Triton, Grecian Immortal of the navy, and herald to his father Poseidon. As such, their child would be a demigod. He then revealed that, traditionally, demigod children were to be raised by their mortal parents, but that he would visit as often as he could. A few months later, Jasmine and Triton’s daughter was born, and Jasmine named her Ariella.

Appearance
Due to her demimyth heritage, Ariella possesses two forms which she can switch between at will. In her human form, she possesses light skin, dark hair, and brown, almond-shaped eyes. Her wardrobe most likely would be described as "pirate chic", and usually consists of loose clothing in various aquatic shades, accompanied with a large coat, a leather corset, and pirate boots. In her magical form, Ariella's skin becomes covered in seafoam-green scales, and her hair becomes black and shaggier. Small horns sprout from her forehead, and tusks grow from her lower jaw. Her eyes turn yellow, and the pupils become ichthyoid slits. Her fingernails become claws, her hands become webbed, and fins sprout from her forearms and back. Her ears become fin-like, and her legs fuse together and become a mermaid tail, with a distinctive, trident-shaped fluke.

Personality
If Ariella was placed on the D&D alignment chart, she would most likely be Chaotic Good. Being the granddaughter of two members of a pirate crew, one could say that Ariella is a free spirit, but, like the rest of the pirate crew she grew up around, one cannot say she doesn't have a good heart. Also, the fact that her father is a sea Immortal, she definitely doesn't like being contained and confined.
