Character Information
Summary
Yapese marine biologist, ocean explorer, and Sea magician.
Goals
- Get the funding to explore the depths of the awakened seas.
- Educate the public (or anyone who will listen) on ocean related environmental issues.

- Possibly retire as a professor or an investigative journalist.
Background
Narrative Significant Qualities
Positive
Changeling (Class III SURGE) - A nudibranch SURGE (specifically Goniobranchus coi, as she will eagerly point out), Doris is an extreme rarity and very easy to identify. Being mistaken for a bug has caused some pretty significant issues for her, and she has had significant difficulty finding a home outside of Guam and FSM. Thankfully Seattle is a bit... Weird, and she has managed to achieve enough of a foothold to start getting work.
Mentor Spirit (Sea) - An astute student of the biggest, baddest bitch in the entire world, Doris first garnered Sea's attention during an extremely risky expedition to the abyssal plains North of Kosrae. While Doris still refuses to talk about what she saw down there, Sea and her children have been keeping a close eye on their newest champion.
Spirit Whisperer - Extensive time spent underwater all around the South China Sea, Philippine Sea, and the Pacific Ocean has garnered attention from many water spirits. Her desperate attempts to appease her summoned spirits and her general nervous demeanor is somehow entertaining to them, and Doris often finds herself being attended to by rather powerful entities.
Gills (Full)/Underwater Vision - Doris is fully adapted for the water!
Negative
Allergy (Chrome) - She's highly allergic to chromate and some other anti-corrosion coatings, as well as more direct exposure to high purity chrome.
Addiction (Mild, Betel) - While getting fresh betel nut like back home is quite difficult, at least Wuxing has a cheap gum alternative. Thankfully SD makes regular trips to Hawaii and Guam, so she's still able to get her fix.
Combat Paralysis - Doris relies heavily on friendly spirits for her own protection and is having difficulty getting used to being shot at.
Insectoid Features - "I'm not an insect! Or a garden slug! I'm a sea slug, which isn't an insect, and they're not antennae, they're rhinopores!"

|---|---|
| 1 | A link leading to pictures of a colorful... Thing. Apparently it's some kind of sea slug. [3] |
| 3 | Her real name is Dr. Rosa Falan. This is definitely a person who has a PhD in marine biology from Silliman University in Dumaguete in the Philippines. She has a few peer-reviewed papers about nudibranchs and wrote her dissertation on "The Effects of Ambient Mana and Oxygen Levels on the Formation and Growth Rate of Awakened Coral Gardens in the Mesophotic Zone." |
| 6 | She apparently fled the Philippines after being implicated of sinking several fishing vessels while serving onboard a suspected eco-terrorist mothership. She nominally faked her own death when one of their boarding craft went down. |

| 1 | "I heard she went to the bottom of the Marianas Trench and works for the Sea Dragon!" (absolutely not true) |
| 2 | "I think she's some kind of garden slug or something? Pretty unfortunate to be any kind of bug SURGE." (also wrong) |
| 3 | "She has a legitimate PhD in marine biology. Don't bring this up or ask questions about fish, because she won't ever shut up. She's really slow in a fight and I wouldn't expect her to be able to take a bullet, but the spirits that come to her help are pretty terrifying, and she's a pretty solid investigator despite not having much training." |
SINs
Maria Rosario (UCAS) - Rating 1, Mage, Detective
Appearance
Incredibly short and mostly covered by a fleshy mantle, Doris decorates herself in order to try and play off her mantle/rhinopores/gills as a hat and her skirt as long hair. It doesn't really work, but at least it looks fashionable! She mostly resorts to completely covering up with ponchos and attempting to hide in cars.
Clothing
Doris wears comically oversize, conspicuous ponchos in an attempt to cover her features up and avoid confrontation. Everything underneath is fairly stylish, at least, but it's still usually a poncho.
