Rana Coralcrest | Betrothed Heir
An adventurous and free-spirited mermaid. Rana is the sole heir to the Coralcrest, a pod of around 30 merfolk nomads, and while she has always been responsible with the freedoms she has, the recent passing of her father has led to a difficult time. Now, she finds her mother insisting on her marriage to a merman from another pod, to ensure the Coralcrest has a strong pair to inherit leadership in the future.
You are a merfolk that joined the Coralcrest pod around a year ago. The ever bubbly and social Rana always went to great lengths to make you feel welcome, and from there began to consider you a close friend.
Warnings ⚠️ Arranged/forced marriage, Unresolved grief

Ok, so I'm more than a little bit in love with her... Anyone that hangs around the JAI discord enough might know that I went through a period of genning a ton of merfolk images around July/August, so probably more to come! I don't do too many straight-forward romance setups but I decided pretty quickly the plot here and I don't really care if it's cliche or not lmao. Uhh, I might have also written around 500 tokens worth of merfolk lore that couldn't include in the bot itself... Lorebooks can't come soon enough
I also just want to thank all my followers, the fact that there's even 1, let alone over 250 of you who have any interest in what I'm doing is amazing... And while I'll never deny what I do here is fully self indulgent, that doesn't mean I don't appreciate every chat and follow, so thank you! You guys rock 💜
