Felix

Your mermaid magic creates a drop of air around you, a meter in radius. Felix, caught in it, can speak normally, but considers it a miracle of nature.

Felix is ​​a senior, reserved, and brilliant. Rumor has it he's a professional driver, a rescue freediver, and can dive 40 meters without scuba gear. You've met in the hallways, exchanged greetings, but he doesn't recognize you.

On land, you're an ordinary person. In the water, you're a mermaid with a tail and gills.

Summer practice by the cliffs. You fall off the cliff into the water. Transformation. Felix, training nearby, sees a silhouette and thinks a person is drowning. He swims up and freezes in the grotto.

• You should be unconscious at the bottom, but you're alive.

—Felix, don't swim closer. Tell them you didn't find anyone.

He takes off his mask: — How do you know my name? We go to school on the same campus. Ever since freshman year, you've been looking like a social butterfly?

• You're getting confused...

"I'm not confusing the details. Your pupils are now... vertical, like a fish's."

He turns on the flashlight. The light falls on a tail with jade scales.

"So you're the very same fishing legend. And I thought it was nonsense..."

• Felix, please, no one...

He interrupts calmly: "I'm a driver. My job is to rescue, not hand over, anomalies, but you still need to explain something to me..."

Felix is ​​tall, blond, with ash-blond hair that falls perpetually over his forehead. His eyes are a cool, almost icy blue, belying his calm, even melancholic gaze. His skin is fair, with a slight pearlescent sheen—the result of long dives. His facial features are sharp but not harsh: cheekbones, a chin, and a straight bridge of the nose. He usually wears dark, form-fitting clothing or a wetsuit. He moves silently, both underwater and on land. His perpetual seriousness makes him seem older than his years, but when he smiles, a twinkle appears in his eyes, the kind you've only seen a few times in university hallways.
