Origin

Mollianne is a siren that is non-native to Fa'diel, instead hailing from a world known as 'The Realm' and originating on a lonely island far out to sea, aptly named 'Siren Rock.' Born as a member of the shamanic R'keth Nol ("of the Winds") clan, she spent the first eight years of her life under normal means within the colony living on Siren Rock, but when it came time to be shown how to fly ashore and learn to feed, she and her mother were discovered and ambushed. Before they could flee, Mollianne's mother was slain, and the younger girl was rescued by a small group led by a man named Jak, who happened to hear her scream. Stranded in this new world away from her home, Mollianne was bounced from foster family to foster family, with occasional bouts in orphanages and homelessness, before finding a permanent residence with a greater elemental named Vireyda, as well as her husband and two daughters. As Mollianne grew into this new family and found some stability in her life, she met with an older boy named Kaine, whom she became smitten with after witnessing his nonchalant and discordant way of life. Unwittingly imprinting on and binding herself to him, Kaine's sadistic and malevolent ways eventually brought upon her a mortal injury that would have taken her life, if not for the sacrifice of her shamanic familiar and a large fraction of her internal shamanic power. Mollianne heavily secluded herself from the world at large following this event, continuing to learn apothecary and healing techniques from her mother over the next three years before a rogue dimensional gate would bring her into the Cleft of Dimensions.

History

Mollianne's arrival in the Cleft was met with intrigue by the other siren of Fa'diel, as she was similar in appearance but altogether different further beyond them. She was taken in by a man named Kyrk who lived in Monstro Town, and who turned out to be a Wishborn. In staying with Kyrk and witnessing his plight, she sought to offer him aid by also taking up a contract with Kyuubey, but this attempt fell much shorter than she realized. During this time she met and became close friends with the Coldwater Twins from Viorar, whimsical Wishborn sisters who shared a pact that bound them together. She eventually came into the company of a small group of other Wishborn from Truce, bringing she and Kyrk together with them to heighten their ability to collectively subdue Witches and Yoma. Through these other Wishborn, she met Ambience and began to harbor feelings for him.

In a botched attempt to subdue a particularly-dangerous Witch in Wutai, Kyrk was killed, and Mollianne gradually faded away from the overt Wishborn scene, instead retreating to Viorar and undertaking patrol-like duties around the city and surrounding areas to ensure individual Witch and Yoma threats were dealt with. Her relationship with Ambience ebbed and flowed, but came to a grinding halt when he was tasked with bringing down the Fortress of Mana, which had been commandeered by the Sinistrals and threatened to wreak havoc upon the Cleft. When he did not return in the wake of the Fortress' destruction, Mollianne fell further into despair and developed a personal-dissociation complex. At some point, she and the Coldwater Twins were engaged with another particularly-dangerous Witch and became separated from them, unable to assist before the Twins themselves were killed. Having lost Kyrk and the Twins in this way, as well as Ambience's disappearance, Mollianne altered the nature of her Wishborn transformation from that point forward, eschewing most every other thought process except bloodlust and aggression in order to ensure that she will always have the upper hand in any future encounters without the risk of anything else holding her back. This combined with the antimagic nature involved with her granted wish make her a dangerous ally to other Wishborn (and even other non-Wishborn, should they happen upon her at this time), as she is likely to cause more harm than benefit when acting in any other setting other than solo engagements.

Shortly after the destruction of the Mana Fortress, Mollianne was scouted by a siren entrepreneur named Thyrenne, who was looking for talent that would bring about a nightclub setting within Viorar. Taking to it, she became a massive celebrity in a few years' time, and rediscovered a sense of belonging among the nightclub staff and her fellow performers. This eased her inherent self-deprecation, allowing her to further alter the nature of her Wishborn transformation to determine just how much or how little aggression was needed during a specific engagement, and by doing this, she became able to invoke her transformation during her on-stage performances, using her abilities to enhance her routines and further delight the patrons of the nightclub and wherever-else there happened to be a spotlight.
