Basic Info

A shapeshifting, vampiric siren who lures her prey in with a mix of sounds and pretty lights. When she needs to flee, can easily turn her "glow" off and slip into the shadows.

  • Tentative: She is mute, instead having to use visual or "clicking" cues to get her messages across.
  • Despite her looks, she's not a bad person...always. She does what she has to do to survive, but otherwise, tries to live an honest life.

Trivia

  • She's based off of the Adze, from West African folklore: a vampiric lightning bug that can shapeshift when in its human form.
  • "Sayona" comes from "La Sayona," a Venezuelan myth about a vengeful spirit of a woman who shows up to men who have love affairs. "Leannen" comes from "Lover/sweetheart."

History

Generalized

Sayona wasn't always a monster. She started life in an orphanage, and was quickly "adopted" as an older sister to another spunky kid, named Morris. They got into a lot of mischief together, with Morris tending to come up with the initial idea, while Sayona helped him perfect his plans with her more calculative mind.

The rest is super tentative:

As the two grew over, Morris' schemes became more risky, and somehow, she was turned into a monster, be it through literal death, an accident, or an experiment. Either immediately or shortly after, the two were torn apart, after Gatlin forces Morris to work for him.

But that's very up in the air, and I don't have the particulars down.


Earth (Gatlin Timeline)

Same orphan story, but she's a human. Whatever "accident" befell her simply injured her, insted of turning her into a monster.

Morris Domus Holmes ("Adoptive" Brother)

Sayona

From a very young age, Sayona was "adopted" by Morris as a little sister, and she still thinks of him that way. She used to go along with all his schemes, no matter the criminality, but as she got older, she started being more against that. She still cares deeply for him, but she's critical of some of the shady things he's done/is doing.

Feelings

Morris

Sayona is the one person in the world Morris actually loves and cares for, and he's very protective over her, but perhaps also feels like he can't show his face to her anymore, depending on how tied he was to her accident.

I'm not set on if he truly tries to dodge her seeing him, but if he does, he still tries his best to support her through sending payments, or just trying to make her life easier from the shadows.
