So. A thing happened...

*Bashes head on table*

Everyone, I would like you to meet my brand, spanking new OC, Eleni. I was looking over my steadily increasing collection of Supernatural OCxCanon artwork in my gallery and found myself idly thinking, "Hey, I need Gabriel in my gallery, but I don't know anyone who has a Gabriel girl, damn, that's annoying, I wonder what kinda girl Gabe would like..." And then my brain EXPLODED and made this little lady.

To give you a quick bit of background:

Eleni is a nymph, more specifically a water nymph, called a Naiad. Thousands of years old, she was of course originally from Ancient Greece, where she lived quite happily at her pool with her sisters, until the god Pan took a shine to her (as Pan was wont to do with nymphs) and kidnapped her to have his wicked way with her. He kept her prisoner for 600 years by means of an enchanted silver chain around her ankle that would never break and that only he could unlock, and for centuries Eleni played the part of reluctant consort. However, finally she won her freedom by drugging Pan with pomegranate pits that she collected over the years, grinding them into a fine powder and pouring them into the god's wine one evening, knocking him flat out. She stole his pipes and used them to break the enchantment on the chain keeping her prisoner, then ran for all she was worth. 

Months later she's skipping towns and generally partying it up as she tries to keep ahead of Pan who is furiously hunting her down, partly because he sees her as his possession and partly because she made a fool of him. One night in a dive bar she and Gabriel chance upon each other, and finding kindred spirits in one another in that they're both immortal beings who like to party, they hook up and go off on some very hedonistic adventures involving burlesque clubs and casinos and -obscene- amounts of alcohol.

Personality-wise, Eleni is a total wild child. She's very into partying and as she's immune to both tiredness and inebriation, she can go on and on, generally stealing the show at whatever club she happens to roll into. She's also completely in love with surfing, her new hobby she picked up since she escaped Pan and can do a mean pole dance. A rolling stone, she's reluctant to stay in one place for more than two or three days, and has no fear when it comes to hitch-hiking or backpacking her way across country.

Abilities wise, she has a few little tricks that go with being a naiad, such as being able to move through water without creating any ripples, holding her breath a ridiculously long time, and being able to make her skin/hair hydrophobic at will. She also obtains a slight shimmer to her skin when wet, not unlike the reflective sheen on fish scales, though more subtle. She can manipulate water to a degree, such as creating a wave or spout in any body of water she is submerged in, and if she is particularly angry or upset any vessels or water around her will have a tendency to explode. The vial around her neck is all that is left of her pool back in Greece, the water having long since dried up except that which she has in the necklace. Her life force is bound to the water and if it dries up she will die as well. The scarring on her right leg is from the chain that held her in Pan's keeping.

In regards to her relationship with Gabriel, it begins as a purely casual thing, the pair of them finding the mutual benefits in each other of fun company and strings-free sex. They bump into one another every couple of months, spend a few days raising Hell, then part ways again. However, this routine begins to change when Pan finally catches up with her while Gabe is around. The god tries to enslave Eleni again only to find a -very- pissed archangel on his back, who sends him running to the hills with the promise that if he ever comes after the nymph again he won't live to see another sunrise. After this encounter the pair begin to see one another in a new light and the casual encounters become longer and less by chance, the dynamic of their relationship shifting to something that starts to resemble an actual love affair. And FLUFF AND THINGS!

So yeah... This is the new baby. She started off as a joke and snowballed EXTREMELY quickly, and now honestly I am completely in love with her and with the ship. Not sorry.
