Laelapé Marilla Oloven

Laelapé Marilla Oloven (a.k.a. Laela)

"What's that saying, again? The dick is always thicker in someone else's hand?"

Physical Description

General Physical Condition

A tall, slender half-demon with a narrow frame and long limbs. Laela utterly lacks any sort of physical presence due to an absence of musculature, yet makes up for it in her ability to fit into alarmingly tiny spaces.

Body Features

Like most half-demon types Laela sports the traditional horns, tail, and pointed ears. However, these features have unusual variations to them. Her horns grow endlessly, like tusks on a boar, and must be maintained. The bulbous end of her tail is home to a gland that produces venom that is administered through the retractable stinger hidden within. Her ears are so long and pointed they hint at a fairly obvious elvish bloodline. They are flexible and expressive, twisting and folding in odd ways that betray her thoughts.

Facial Features

High cheek bones and angular features. Her eyes have neither a pupil or and iris, and her teeth are mostly fangs.

Identifying Characteristics

The bright, red markings that cover nearly every inch of her skin.

Physical quirks

A broken left horn and a scar across her right cheek. Her toes are very dextrous, long, and one acts as an opposable thumb.

Apparel & Accessories

Laela prefers to wear just enough to have authorities questioning whether or not she ought to be fined for indecent exposure.
Besides her clothing, she has many piercings (some visible, some hidden) and loves to accessorize with jewelry.

Mental characteristics

Personal history

Born in a hidden city on the continent of Sheloth to a Lux elf mother, it came as a surprise to Laela that she wound up being an outcast in a city of outcasts.
Sheloth is hardly known for its demon-folk, and to the residents of Efihliwe she was a walking, talking omen. Her mother was in the business of smuggling enslaved humans at the time for a clandestine organization known as the Keys, and had not expected that the other end of the demon's bargain would wind up being so... blue. The deal that had been struck specified that she must keep the baby alive, not that she had to like it. Feeding young Laela and ensuring she stayed away from others was a chore, given the infant's inability to control the venom in her tail or the strength of her sharp bite. Druscilla spent as much time away from the demon as possible, and when she was stuck at home she locked the creature up to avoid dealing with it.
Left to her own devices, Laela was practically feral--fending for herself after her mother deemed her capable of doing so. When she became old enough to be a danger to herself, Druscilla managed to convince a friend of hers--an elderly tabaxi--to watch the creature while she continued her duties for the Keys.
At first, Arturo was wary of the hissing demon that snapped at his offerings of food or conversation. Eventually, he learned that she did not know how to speak despite being some few years old. Taking pity on the young half-elf, he slowly won her trust over the year or so that her mother was absent.
Laela's young mind was quick to soak in his teachings on how to speak and read and write. After her mother returned, she could stumble her way through part of a sentence. Subsequent journeys were met home with a brighter Laela, one that had latched onto the idea of an insult faster than anything else. From the moment she could question her mother, she did, and the arguments and nasty words that followed only sealed the permanence of their tumultuous, resentful relationship with one another.
When she was finally old enough to venture on her own, Arturo grew ill. Being such a young elf (early 20s at the time), she was uncertain of how to help him, she travelled to Luxoram. Having formulated something of a plan before departing, the young half-elf disguised herself as a Lux elf to blend in with the denizens of the city. Creating a fully-fledged alternative identity, she was free to roam the streets without drawing a baleful stare from pedestrians. Getting a bit caught up in the night life (having quickly sussed out where all the 'fun' was in the criminal underground), she remembered why she had, partially, made the journey at all. Healing tonics were nothing short of expensive, so she devised a way to make some coin by cheating it out of some rich prick's pockets.
Unfortunately, the night doesn't go quite as planned. Caught red-handed with a pair of weighted dice, her opponent flew into a fit of rage and attempted to pry the money she had won from him in previous games from her person. Not much in the way of physical prowess, she sustained a gash across her cheek before the authorities arrived and the operation scattered.
Cuffed and being led down the dark cobblestone roads to the jail, panic took hold. Blood oozed down her face, and her concentration on the disguise wavered and fizzled. What would they do with such a horrid creature? She doubted that her true apperance would warrant a fair trial or a slap on the wrist.
Thankfully, the guard entrusted with her delivery was able to be swayed to let her visit a doctor. Speaking of, the guard herself was tall, handsome, and immediately beguiled by this odd, charming woman. Of course, after being deposited into the care of a apothecary, Laela made her escape before the guard could catch wind of her having left at all.
Returning to Efilhiwe brings somber news. Arturo's condition has worsened, and despite the healing tonic she provides, he passes away mere days after her arrival.
Alone, again, Laela drowns her sorrows in the taverns and women of Luxoram. Her visitation with Efilhiwe grows infrequent until (some six decades later) she hears through the grapevine that her mother has become pregnant. Wondering if she was going to birth another hellspawn, Laela goes back to her 'home' to see the creature her mother brings into the world. Though she knows nothing of her mother's general demeanor beyond what a terrible person she was to Laela herself, she is not surprised to find that her partner is, in fact, human.
Her half-brother is born with Laela 90 years his senior, still young by elvish standards. Druscilla persists in her mistreatment of her daughter and does her best to will Laela away from her son. To spite her, Laela makes a special point to be some manner of familial entity in Shilver's life--ignoring her intrigue at the idea of having some sort of genuine connection with her sibling. Alas, she never learned how to make friends and wound up being mostly an annoyance to the young man.
Life continued for her, unfortunately. She ran into the same guard multiple times, and eventually charmed her into bed. The two struck a deal, then, though the terms were never quite discussed. Octavia developed a bit of a savior complex for the flighty criminal, one that only worsened when she was trusted enough to be shown Laela's true appearance. Frightened of commitment and intimacy, Laela did not know how to tread these uncertain waters--creating rifts between them that would shake the unfinished foundation of their relationship.
After many years, Octavia grew tired of Laela's perpetual dodging of her affections and asked her to marry. The half-demon had done nothing to conquer her fears and move their half-baked romance to something sturdy, so the question was (unsurprisingly) ignored. That night, Laela fled Octavia's home and never returned.
It was soon after this that the plague of Sheloth began. Her refuge was Efilihwe (much as she hated it) and the subsequent years after Qholt's destruction left her restless and stranded. Finding that there were far worse things to be afraid of, the people of Efilihwe grew more lax in her presence and some even warmed to it--not that she had forgiven any of them for their harsh treatment in her formative years. Still, she played along, if only to survive.
A celebration for the kiote rolled around, as they usually did, but this time it brought a familiar group. The heros of Sheloth and their offspring, grown now, attended. One such descendant, Draqull, seemed to be drawn to her beauty. Stringing him along, the two got absolutely wasted before they stumbled into the woods (under the pretense of putting out), only to wind up gasping from the Boiling Void to surface in Vaeruin.

Gender Identity

She/Her

Sexuality

Lesbian. Very high libido. Uses sex for validation (unhealthy).

Some really rough homeschooling, if you can call it that.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Being alive? Does that count?

Failures & Embarrassments

Where do you even start with this one?

Mental Trauma

There is no shortage of abandoment, neglect, and attention issues with this woman due to her mother's abuse. Though she never laid hands on Laela, the two were often caught in verbal and emotional disputes when the half-demon was able to string together a full sentence. She has never been able to understand why her mother hates her so much, and on some level has come to agree that she is the cause of this hatred and deserves it. Believing this, she lives her life as free of attachment as she can. This causes severe loneliness that births bad behavior: negative attention-seeking that only serves to drive others away. She finds fleeting moments of true confidence and acknowledgement in the bedroom, yet flees from any intimate connection she could make with others.

Intellectual Characteristics

Coming across as nothing more than a cheat, Laela will sometimes give the wrong first impression. She is quick-witted and sharp of tongue and mind. Despite her upbringing being shaky in the education department, she has learned much from the streets.

Morality & Philosophy

Her morality and Philosophy is short, sweet, and entirely self motivated. All she has ever had is herself, so that is all she cares for. The world and all its problems and misfortune are not necessarily her own, and she does not seek to take any more on. All she wants to do is survive, though the reason as to why isn't always clear.

Personality Characteristics

Motivation

Honestly, she has no idea. She's taking one day at a time and just bumbling her way through life.

Savvies & Ineptitudes

Very, very good with cards and deft with her hands. Though she is used to being looked at with wary eyes, she has developed a silver tongue and a cool demeanor.
She is utterly inept at any sort of strenuous physical activity. Survival skills are absent. She's also no good at making friends and keeping them.
