The Fa'e are one of the most wonderful breedables in existance. No doubt about that.

When I first saw them I was astonished by the unique art of Anya! She's a very talented artist and every her way of painting just expressions all the different personalities very well. I also loved that the Fa'e's development and favourites are depicted in these pictures. So I thought right away, I want one !

I've stayed at the breedables community for more than a year now and I've been stalking the Fa'e journals and the thread for quite a while now. All the owners are wonderful roleplayers and it's astonishing how different every Fa'e is and how well prepared all the stories are. The desire awakened inside of me to be a part of it, so I'm steadily trying to improve my writing skills.

There aren't any Fa'e given out right now or in close future, but I still wanted to express my love for this breedable by creating this thread. And perhaps I'm lucky and some other Fa'e owners appoint me to be a guardian for a Fa'e child. I don't know *shrugs*.

Anyway, the Fa'e are just wonderful and it would be a great honour for me to join this community.

First of all the Loreley is a German Myth and because of that probably not well-known to everyone. So I think this concept is very unique, isn't it ?


User Image - Blocked by "Display Image" Settings. Click to show.In reality the Loreley is a large rock on the bank of the river Rhine. It's able to produce a mystical echo and there are several myths and legends about this place.


The most famous one is the one about a beautiful maiden who distracts the sailormen and makes them fall for her, so their ships crash against the rock. She's quite often called a witch for this special power or equalized with the greek sirens.


But the Loreley isn't just a bad siren out of nothing ! She was deeply in love with a faithless man and committed suicide by throwing herself into the river. So she was transformed into this luring woman, who is seducive and passionate. She's combing her long blonde hair and sings all day to make the sailormen suffer and feel her rage about beeing cheated on.



The myth became popular because of a poem by the German poet Heinrich Heine. Here's a somehow translated and very similar version in English by Mark Twain.




An ancient legend of the Rhine

I cannot divine what it meaneth,
This haunting nameless pain:
A tale of the bygone ages
Keeps brooding through my brain:

The faint air cools in the gloaming,
And peaceful flows the Rhine,
The thirsty summits are drinking
The sunset's flooding wine;

The loveliest maiden is sitting
High-throned in yon blue air,
Her golden jewels are shining,
She combs her golden hair;.

She combs with comb that is golden,
And sings a weird refrain
That steeps in a deadly enchantment
The listener's ravished brain:

The doomed in his drifting shallop,
Is tranced with the sad sweet tone,
He sees not the yawing breakers,
He sees but the maid alone:

The pitiless billwos engulf him!-
So perish sailor and bark;
And this, with her baleful singing,
Is the Lorelei's gruesome work.

Name || Aria
( Means "song" or "melody" in Italian. An aria is an elaborate vocal solo, the type usually performed in operas. )


Gender || Female

Sexuality || Depends on her experiences with men. If she's played on again or betrayed she may lock her heart away from the male species and will turn over to women. In general she's just looking for someone to really love her, no matter which gender.

Looks || I don't want to specify on Aria's looks to much, but there are some special features which she just needs to have.

|| Very very long hair, preferably blonde, golden or another light colour.

|| A marking below her eye which resembles a tear, because of her terrible fate in her former life

Dressing Style|| Aria isn't fond of too much cloth and so she's always dressed in clothings, which reveal a lot of her skin. She loves silk and translucent materials in all shades of blue. This girl also loves green and brown colours.

Aria rarely wears pants and prefers dresses and skirts. The style of her clothes often resembles the European medieval times. Her favourite accessories are a golden comb and long chains decorated with shimmering perls.


Personality || Of course this is just very brief and there's a lot more in a deep rooted personality, but at least it's a start.

As a baby/child Aria loves to talk and to express everything orally. She's also a child that loves to experience everything with all of her senses, which often includes touching and hugging. Aria usually doesn't hide her emotions and so you can be sure to experience joy and sadness when meeting her.

But in general there's always a second layer of emotion she hides. There are moments when she gets extremely introverted and prefers to be alone to rethink a situation. Aria tends not to think about her actions beforehand and when everything gets too overwhelming for her she locks herself inside her room and tries to think what went wrong. If there's no time for this strange procedure of rethinking you may fear her wrath or love depending on the situation. It may be that she regrets her actions afterwards though.

From the beginning on Aria will be a person who tries to get what she wants. No matter what it takes. Her charme and her diplomacy are very convincing and she usually isn't in need of crying and fighting for her needs. This Fa'e always tries to make a good impression and such bad behaviour wouldn't fit at all. That's why she prefers intrigues and sometimes even lies in such cases. It's your fault, if you didn't say yes when she was honest !

As a result of this Aria is fond of crowds and attention. She adores beeing the number one in every case. Although she's a terrible organizer, you can count on her if you need someone for an event. Aria will always help and invite people and after all be 'the lady of the day' - even if it's not her birthday. She definately knows how to present herself. Many people tend to see her as arrogant because of this, which hurts her really badly. 'People just don't understand her true intentions..' She thinks.


Relationships || Beeing a very outgoing girl Aria should be able to make a lot of friends. She loves to be surrounded by as many people as possible and of course this Fa'e is very fond of beeing adored or having a secret lover. Attention is everything she wants.

But if a relationship starts to get to close she starts to get scared and retreats quickly. Strong emotions aren't easy for her and so love is a pretty difficult subject. Aria doesn't always count sexual activities or beeing physical close to each other as an expression of love. She prefers to float on the surface in the sea of emotions and is scared to dive deeper.


Likes || Attention, mirrors and clothes, jewelry, playing her harp, music in general

Dislikes || Beeing alone, cruelty, moralists, shutting up

Special Abilities||

~ Breathing underwater ?
~ Ability to persuade/seduce people by a melodious whisper ?
~ ...


Past Life


Mist was curling on the slowly flowing river that morning when a young aristocratic girl was sitting on the bench of the Rhine and waited for her lover. She waited a long time until the small boat arrived and he stepped out to greet her. Eva felt how love rushed through her veines as he embraced her. "I missed you, Heinrich." She mumbled as a hand stroked across her back and comfort settled inside her heart. It was always worth waiting for the sailorman.

Her parents didn't like their daughters feelings towards the man. They wanted her to life her life to the fullest and didn't like to be wasted towards a man of a lower class. They send out a maiden, who was also Eva's abigail and best friend, to seduce her beloved Heinrich.

The sailorman was weak and betrayed Eva with the maid several times.

Eva's heart shattered into pieces as she found out what was going on and couldn't bear the pain. She knew that the sailorman loved nothing as much as the sea and to equal his first love, she threw herself off a mighty rock and drowned in the river Rhine.

It wasn't granted to her though to rest in piece, but the pain and hate inside her heart kept her alive as a ghost. As a naked and wonderful woman she lured the fishermen into death. She sang wonderful songs and combed her golden hair, but inside of her heart the hate ordered her to become even more tempting and dangerous.

The souls of the dying fishermen were bonded to their wracks and so she was surrounded by the spirits of her victims. She was haunting and waiting for Heinrich, her former lover, to come her way and to be lured into death by the wonderful Loreley.

And on that horrible day the Loreley sang her melodious song and Heinrich's boat was moving towards the rock she was seated upon. But the spirits of hundreds victims attacked her before her revenge could be satisfied. The beautiful singing siren was tossed back into the water and was bonded to the wracks and she merged with the spirits of the hated and so the last piece of love shattered inside her heart and was able to die.

Sometimes you're still able to hear her crying in the night within the melodious water's whisper...
