Chryssa

Chryssa is an aquatic creature of an unknown species. She is accompanied by her faithful companion Jell, who is a large jellyfish-like creature. Chryssa is reserved and calm by nature. She tends to worry about things she cannot control. She is the polar opposite of her best friend, Sennie. Chryssa and Jell are both unable to spend large amounts of time out of the water, lest they dry out completely. To prevent this, Sennie creates large bubbles for them both, which keeps them hydrated for long periods of time. In a small underwater cave off the west coast, sightings of an enormous iridescent jellyfish with trailing tentacles sheltering a strange humanoid girl hovers between fact and fiction. Said to wear a coral crown and a beautiful dress, it's easy to see why the girl, Chryssa, has been dubbed "The Jelly Princess". As far as Chryssa is concerned, she only remembers her "guardian" (whom she affectionately calls Jell) being around for as long as she has. Everything Jell perceived, Chryssa did too. The duo was content spending their days drifting here and there in the great blue expanse like her "subjects", but over time, a small curiosity about the humans she resembled slowly blossomed. She began to watch and observe them at work and play upon the sandy beaches. Gathering up her courage, Chryssa inched toward land, but every unconfident step away from Jell and the sea threatened to drain her to the point of collapse. Slinking back into the depths, she cast all thought of ever leaving her watery cradle away. It wasn't until a chance encounter with an unfortunate victim of Jell's trailing stingers that Chryssa felt she had a glimmer of hope. The girl, Sennie, spoke excitedly of methods to modify the bubble (which prevented her watery demise) for Chryssa's use. Amused at her exuberance, Chryssa nodded along, and soon, the duo found themselves standing on a bank beyond the watchful eyes of the village sentries. Free of the sea at last, Chryssa was filled with wonder at the world beyond her own. How might a creature so bound to the sea fare on unforgiving ground? Chryssa felt Jell's trepidation, but the human part of her was happy to be swept up in her friend's enthusiasm.
