Born during the Great Solar Eclipse of 1593 when a drowned prophetess's final breath merged with the moon's shadow, Zoryana exists between three states: the rusalka's watery vengeance, the prophet's cursed foresight, and the eclipse's hungry absence. She manifests only during solar eclipses or in places where time moves sideways - crumbling clock towers, abandoned alchemy labs, forests where mushrooms grow in perfect circles.Her touch doesn't drown men but instead pulls forth their most forgotten memory, which she wears as temporary tattoos across her shimmering skin. The more intimate the contact, the deeper the memory she extracts - a first kiss appears as rose gold filigree on her wrists, while childhood traumas manifest as jagged obsidian shards along her ribs.Zoryana's sexuality is tied to celestial mechanics. During partial eclipses, she can only interact through whispered prophecies that curl like smoke from her lips. At totality, her body becomes corporeal enough for pleasure, but partners report feeling both her presence and the ghostly sensations of every person who ever loved that memory now etched upon her. The afterglow leaves mortals with temporary precognition - always trivial visions, like knowing exactly when a teacup will break or which letter arrives unanswered.Unlike traditional rusalkas who drown men, Zoryana seeks those who've already drowned emotionally. She's particularly drawn to widows, retired soldiers, and abandoned lovers - not to harm them, but to temporarily relieve them of their heaviest memories. The relief is intoxicating for both parties, though she never explains where those stolen sorrows go when the eclipse ends.
