Role-Playing Notes:
Namorita is trying to be a relatively normal American teenager. Her exotic background makes this difficult sometimes, but it also gives her options unavailable to most teens.
History:
Namorita was the only daughter of Namora, the pink-skinned daughter of a human mother and Atlantean father, and Talan, a blue-skinned member of the genus Homo mermanus. Namorita’s father, Talan, was killed when the Atlantean city of Maritanis was destroyed by a nuclear weapons test of the surface dwellers when Namorita was three. She and her mother, among the survivors, migrated across the Arctic to reach the Pacific Ocean. They eventually came upon a small city at the outskirts of the city-state of Lemuria, where they were met by the princess Llyra. This city was ruled by Prince Merro, under the auspices of Naga, the emperor of the Lemurian empire. Llyra was currying favor with Merro, hoping to become his betrothed, when Merro became attracted to Namora. A short time later, Namora was found dead. Namorita suspected that her mother’s death was Llyra’s doing, but she could not prove it. Not long afterwards, Prince Merro also died a mysterious death, and Llyra assumed the throne. Llyra later attacked Karthon, who replaced Naga as emperor and took control of the Lemurian empire.
As empress, Llyra welcomed the exiled Atlantean Prince Byrrah to Lemuria, and the two plotted the overthrow of Namor and the conquest of Atlantis. Byrrah took Namorita into custody and took her to one of the ancestral homes of the Atlanteans in the Antarctic Ocean where he was assembling the weaponry for his impending assault on Atlantis. Llyra joined them after being deposed from rule by a popular uprising. Llyra and Byrrah decided to use Namorita as a pawn in their plot against Namor. Under the threat of having her mother’s body destroyed, Namorita was sent to lure Namor into one of Byrrah’s traps. Namorita reluctantly complied, but due to fatigue, bungled the attempt. Byrrah captured Namor anyway, and held him and his cousin prisoner while he attacked Atlantis.
Namor foiled Byrrah’s plans and exiled him from Atlantis, and then he placed Namorita in the care of his human friend Betty Dean Prentiss. She enrolled the young Atlantean human hybrid in an American high school, and had her learn the ways of the surface people. Around the time Namorita began to go to college, Prentiss was murdered by the criminal scientist Dr. Lemuel Dorcas. Namorita assumed her loving guardian’s last name as a tribute.
At present, Namorita is a member of the Aquarian's band of followers. She has not visited Atlantis in years.
