Power Source: Seafoam Green Luminary / Fifth Plane
The Seafoam Green Luminary orbits the Star of Vis in the fifth plane of the Visean Cosmos. It is a sentient, light-giving body that radiates a soft, pale bluish-green glow. At the climax of the Star of Vis board game—when the Cosmic Cataclysm is unleashed—the celestial being descends in a moment of dire urgency. It arrives just in time to save Roanne from a fatal fall inside the cavern. Enveloped in light, the girl is transformed into a mermaid—her body gently floating in a suspended sphere of water, cradled by seaweed that softly exhales bubbles on either side.
Character from Star of Vis Boardgame
Fairytale Princess (Seafoam Green Paperboard)
Princess Ruana of the Atlean Kingdom of the Primordial Sea is the eldest daughter of King Orion. She was destined to marry the next Sea King, but her heart leads her to a lowly sailor from the land. Set in a kingdom beneath the gentle waters, the tale explores Ruana’s internal conflict—whether to choose duty or follow her heart. Her father, King Orion, wields a mighty trident that controls the weather and deters pirates.
Princess Ruana
As A Mermaid
A radiant mermaid rests by a sunlit seaside rock, her glistening sea-green tail shimmering beneath the waves. She has long, slightly curly copper hair that catches the light like threads of fire, cascading down her back. Her seafoam green eyes gleam with quiet wonder, framed by a fine, expressive face and bronze, sun-kissed skin. Around her neck lies a delicate lavender seashell necklace, matching the twin lavender shells that form her elegant top. Bathed in broad daylight, she is a vision of oceanic grace and fairytale beauty.
As Sea Maiden
Ruana has long, copper hair that glows like sunset fire, crowned at the back with a curious adornment—two silver fish intertwined, linked by a chain of clasped crab claws, all sculpted in grey. Her seafoam green eyes shimmer with wonder beneath finely arched brows, set in a delicate, bronze-toned face. A lavender seashell necklace rests gently on her collarbone, paired with subtle pearl earrings that catch the light.
She wears a gown that flows like ocean breeze: billowing seafoam green balloon sleeves and a lavender corset embroidered with blooming water lilies, cinched gracefully at the waist. Her floor-length skirt trails like waves, concealing silver sandals that softly glint beneath the hem.
In her hand, she holds a silver lunar scepter—its shaft lined with delicate seafoam bubbles, rising toward a moon bell crest. At the top, a glowing full moon rests atop two silver fishes, crowned by cascading waters shaped like a ringing bell.
A princess of dreams and tide-bound magic, she stands radiant in a world where fairytales breathe and every wish holds the promise of coming true.
Transformation: Seashell’s Pearl
Roanne begins to sing—a gentle, rising “a-a-a-a-a-a-a-a”—her voice echoing like a lullaby across the sea. In response, a radiant white pearl emerges from the lavender seashell nestled at her neck. As her melody deepens, ripples of seafoam green and lavender shimmer outward, transforming the tiny pearl into a magnificent moon-bell: a luminous full moon crowned with cascading waters, resting upon a base shaped like twin silver fish.
Suddenly, glistening aquamarine waves rise and swirl around her, forming a magical sphere of water. Within it, Roanne is gracefully transformed. When the waters subside, she stands revealed as a sea maiden—a red-haired princess clad in a flowing gown of seafoam green and lavender, glowing beneath the sun.
The moon-bell gently drifts toward a silver rod standing beside her, settling atop it as the final piece of her royal scepter. The transformation is complete—the princess of the sea reborn in light and song: Princess Ruana.
Magic Item: Lunar Scepter
A graceful silver scepter, tall and slender, crowned with a celestial ornament known as the moon-bell. At its peak rests a luminous full moon, encircled by cascading waters that pour downward like a shimmering veil, flowing into a base shaped like twin silver fish. The entire top is framed like an ornate church bell, evoking both reverence and enchantment. Running vertically along the rod are delicate seafoam bubbles, glistening like pearls caught in a tide—each one a whisper of the sea’s magic. The scepter radiates both elegance and oceanic majesty, a true symbol of Princess Ruana’s lunar grace.
Miscellaneous Item: The Conch
Princess Ruana, a mermaid of royal lineage, possesses the rare ability to take human form and walk upon dry land. This magic is granted by a pearl-like conch shell she carries—iridescent and faintly shimmering with a rainbow of soft hues. When Ruana lifts the conch to her lips and blows, it releases a melodic sound that ripples outward in waves of seafoam green and lavender light. The glistening sea-green tail she bears as a mermaid is then gracefully transformed into two bare human feet.
Domain: The Sea
Ruana’s enchantments and charms are intrinsically bound to the sea—befitting her nature as a mermaid and daughter of the ocean.
Gentle Waters
Ruana does not command ordinary water—she wields what is known as gentle waters. Unlike the clear, colorless waters of the mortal world, these esoteric fluids are composed of thousands of water elementals swimming in harmony. In motion, they shimmer in hues of periwinkle and turquoise; at rest, they glow with an indigo sheen that reflects moonlight itself.
These gentle waters form the very foundation of life. They are inherently nurturing, brimming with healing energy and supportive essence. They do not seek to harm any living being—whether noble or wicked. Because of this, their wielder—sorcerer or sorceress—must accept the limitations of this magic, for it cannot be used for direct combat or destruction.
Sea Magic
Healing Waters: Ruana commands sacred waters imbued with restorative power. These gentle currents can heal injuries, cure sickness, and cleanse wounds with soothing grace.
Protection: With a wave of her hand, Ruana can summon protective barriers from water—forming walls, domes, or full spheres to shield herself and others from attacks and natural disasters.
Binding Seaweeds: She can conjure sentient seaweeds that twist and coil around enemies. These living tendrils adapt intelligently, tightening if the captive resists or attempts to break free with force.
Seafoam Bubbles: Ruana can exhale shimmering seafoam bubbles that encase objects—or even foes. These enchanted bubbles drift gently through the air or water, lifting and carrying threats far away.
Sealing: To safeguard the world from danger, Ruana can seal cursed or volatile artifacts within floating indigo spheres that glow with a pearl-like radiance, preventing further harm.
Hydrokinesis: She possesses the ability to control vast quantities of water with ease. This power can be used to redirect tides, summon waves, or extinguish raging fires.
Telepathy & Empathy: Ruana can sense thoughts, emotions, memories, and dreams through psychic connection. When her power awakens, her eyes glow white, casting a silver-laced moonlight across her face.
Empathic Clairvoyance: She can read emotional echoes and lingering memories imprinted on places and objects—allowing her to uncover forgotten truths and unseen sorrows.
Sonokinesis: Ruana’s mermaid song is a force of magic itself. Her voice ripples in waves of seafoam green and lavender, carrying across vast distances. Through her melodies, she can locate others, soothe sea creatures, or enchant beings of the ocean.
Aquatic Adaptation: As a mermaid, Ruana breathes underwater with ease and glides through the depths with swift, fluid grace. She can see clearly in the darkness of the deep sea and withstand its crushing pressure without harm.
Reflection: Ruana can manipulate light reflected off the surface of water, bending and shaping it to her will. Through this power, she can cloak objects, people, or even entire spaces—concealing them from sight to ensure safety from danger or pursuit.
Forbidden: Moon Magic
In a dream shaped by memory, Roanne glimpses a moment from the true Princess Ruana’s past. There, Mother Celeste gently but firmly warns the maiden never to meddle with the mystique of the moon. Though the moon can bestow immense power upon its caster, it comes at a grave cost. Just as the moon borrows its light from the sun, so too does it drain the life of the one who dares to wield its magic.
