Patronus: Sea Angel
Personality: A sweet girl with an even sweeter smile and sweettooth. From the first look one might suspect that she is too pretty to be true and in a way she is. As part of her heritage as a Xanino Ondine is meant to be beautiful, alluringly so as her species relies on their powers to seduce and charm. As a changeling Ondine carries a guilt for taken the position of the child that was supposed to be in her place. It causes her to selflessly sacrifice herself for anyone who expresses the need for help and it tarnishes her self-confidence where she believes herself to be a scam and unworthy. A gentle and caring girl who despite the circumstances tries to carry out a warm heart and remain positive.
History: The Fear family have always claimed themselves to be purebloods in line, however due to questionable births and the bad administration of their family tree they have a hard time proving this to the community. While they are wealthy the Fear family misses the recognition as one of the original pureblood families. They are the new blood amongst the purebloods.
An unknown piece of knowledge to most --and a fact unknown to even the family itself until a recent accident-- is the origin of the oldest daughter; Ondine Fear. Born from a xana the little girl was swapped at birth with the actual child that was supposed to be Ondine Fear. Since xana are unable to produce their own milk and take care of their own children this was a necessary practise to keep her alive. It wasn't until seven years ago when the Fear family had a second child that they found out about the swap. However, unwilling to fall off the pedestal that they had so carefully climbed up on they wrapped the whole story up and covered it nicely with money and influence. After all, Ondine was a very normal child despite the fact that she was born from a creature.
To make matters worse the newborn daughter; Circe was found to be suffering from several ailments. Conditions that would leave her unable to ever grow independent, let alone grow a long and fulfilling life. Circe was effectively considered to not exist in the world in which the Fear family lived. This secured Ondine's position as the heiress of the Fear legacy, though that was only accepted as such after many guarantees that this story was never to leak out and that a close eye was kept on the girl.
Thus the stifling life of a pureblood became even more of a glass cage. Her appearance that attracted both lavish compliments as well as (un)wanted attention didn't help her feelings of worthlessness at all, as they were a constant reminder of what she was. The constant scrutiny she lived in, the guilt she was plagued with for taking the place of the original heiress, and for the birth of her 'defect' sister. Ondine didn't know better but that she was a blemish on the world and that she had to make it right by doing right. The smile of her sister Circe, the smiles of her friends at school, the sweet strangers... Ondine seeks solace into the happiness of others, hoping that perhaps she might find some for herself.
