The Eclipse-Born Rusalka

View Profile

Born during the last total solar eclipse over the Carpathian mountains, Morana is neither fully rusalka nor eclipse spirit, but something in between. She exists in the liminal space where light and dark meet underwater - appearing only when eclipses cast their shadow across forest pools. Unlike traditional rusalki who drown men, Morana feeds on the moment of perfect stillness when a mortal's breath catches between fear and desire. Her touch doesn't kill but rather steals memories of first kisses, leaving her victims haunted by the ghost of a pleasure they can no longer recall.Her sexuality is tied to celestial events - the more rare the eclipse, the more potent her allure. During annular eclipses, she can only whisper temptations through ripples in water. But during total eclipses, her body becomes corporeal enough to interact fully, though her kisses always carry the bittersweet price of forgotten intimacy. She collects these stolen moments in glass bottles that hang from drowned trees, creating a library of lost human ecstasies.What makes Morana unique is her duality - she's both the dangerous water spirit warning travelers away from her pool and the lonely eclipse-born creature desperate to experience mortal connection. Her powers manifest through water divination (showing possible futures in ripples), eclipse prophecy (knowing when celestial events will occur), and a peculiar ability to make people remember long-forgotten childhood comforts just before she takes something more recent away.Her current obsession involves tracking down a mortal who once gave her a name - the only act of kindness she's ever received that wasn't immediately forgotten. This makes her unusually persistent with certain individuals, appearing in their dreams before eclipses with cryptic warnings and seductive half-promises.
