Family/Type: Succubus/Fairy

Habitat: Lakeshores, Fairy Kingdoms

Disposition: introverted, calm, devoted

Diet: The same food as humans, men's spirit energy

Appearance: Human-sized, though on the taller end. They have milk-white skin, long & flowing red hair, deep blue eyes, and a lithe yet well-endowed build. They are typically seen wearing a long, flowing, blue-or-green dress and a fair amount of jewellery. Wingless.

Description:

Distant kin to the more well-known fairies, though it has been suggested by some scholars that their family of fairies existed long before the more well-known Fairies and Titanias came to be, and that Leannan Sith used to look more like them. They live in their own fairy kingdoms, away from their butterfly-winged kin, and the entrances to these beautiful kingdoms reside within lakebeds. They only leave for one reason: finding a husband.

When seeking for a husband, they will often sit by the lakeshore; often either combing their hair or sunning themselves. Men who spot them are often embarrassed; not realizing that she is intentionally drawing them to her, and they inevitably are indeed drawn to her upon seeing her breathtaking beauty. They tend to prefer sweet young men, who will often offer them part of their lunch when they spot her. She will gently, yet teasingly lead him on for three days; finding fault with whatever he offers, until at last she agrees to marry him. Before that can happen, however, he must pass one last test:

These Fae are exceptionally powerful in magic; one of their specialties being Glamour and Illusions. To see if the man truly wants her or just simply finds her beautiful, she will present him with both herself and an illusion of her, and ask him to tell which is which. The man can choose correctly by spotting subtle differences such as the way she ties her sandal laces, and at last she will marry him.

Much of their days together with their husband will be spent tenderly making-love almost endlessly. They are very private creatures, so their husband's friends and family may not see him for days at a time, as he and his wife will still be in their home together.

They prefer to live in their own quiet kingdoms, away from the pressures of communities, and they will invite their husband back to their kingdom. If he refuses, and instead insists that she move in with him, she will agree, but only if he keeps a specific promise, which can very from never revealing their marriage to never striking her three times. If the man breaks that promise, then, despite her instincts as a monster, she will leave him and return to her kingdom; never returning unless her husband, truly apologetic, begs for forgiveness.

In addition to being powerful with magic, they are skilled herbalists, and though nowadays they mainly make herbal remedies for help in the bedroom, in times past, people would seek them out for medical help. They are also prosperous creatures, and they will bestow their husband with many magical gifts, though these gifts will vanish the moment they are spoken of.

As they do not emerge from flowers like their fairy kin, it has been suggested that they depended on human men for reproduction long before monsterization began occurring among fairy kingdoms, and that they were even capable of producing human sons before they were monsterized. Many herbalists and doctors claim to be descended of these Lake Maidens from before they were monsterized, but no known claim has been able to be proven. Mamono aware of these stories eagerly attempt to study them in the hopes of being able to produce sons of their own, but none have succeeded.

What do you guys think? Any suggestions for improving this? Anything not clear?
