♠ Basics
Name: Ursula
Age: *coughnoneofyourbusinesscough*
Gender: Female
Movies/Series: The Little Mermaid
Year or position: Guidance Counselor
Canon Background: Link
Non/Speaking Animal/Companion (is applicable):
Flotsam and Jetsam, two moray eels. They're kept in a large tank in Ursula's aquarium-like office. Their mobility is greatly reduced stuck in there, but Ursula just couldn't bear to leave her babies behind.
Powers (if applicable):
The ability to cast magic spells. She has knowledge on mixing and brewing potions, and these potions can do a number of different things-- from changing a creature’s appearance, to taking abilities like speaking. But the spells she casts always have a catch to them. They usually have a time limit, and require nearly impossible tasks to be made permanent. She plans that from the very start, tricking people into making deals with her for her magic, only to have them go wrong and become indebted to her. Naturally her only spells that don’t end in disaster are the ones she casts on herself.
♠ In-Depth:
AU Background:
Ursula once lived in the royal palace of Atlantica. She had been invited there in her youth by the then Prince Triton, who had heard from his subjects of her magical abilities. He made her into his royal fortuneteller and sorcerer upon meeting her, and complimented her on her unique appearance. No other merfolk in Atlantica had tentacles and purple skin like she had, and she had been considering changing her tentacles into a fish tail to be like everyone else. Thanks to the prince, she changed her mind.
He welcomed her into his palace and allowed her to partake in high-class privileges she had only once dreamed of. Huge banquets of delicious food, gorgeous, lavish living spaces, and an honest to goodness feeling of belonging. The prince was so kind to her, in fact, that she developed a bit of a crush on him. And with him soon inheriting the throne, a part of her wondered if he would ever consider making her his queen. She pictured herself ruling over the ocean with him, and grew giddy with excitement, but he instead chose to wed someone else. A beautiful mermaid who was perfectly normal looking.
Ursula wasn’t the same from then on. She became resentful towards the now king and his queen, and with time she became greedier and greedier. The taste of the high life proved too much for her, it seemed. She ate more, demanded more, and eventually went as far as wanting to rule the entire ocean herself. Soon she put forth a plan to usurp the throne from the king into action, but it failed. King Triton banished her immediately, calling her a witch, and she was forced to stay far from the kingdom and glorious palace she had adored so much.
Her bitter hatred towards the king and all merfolk only grew from then on, and the only thing that gave her comfort was eating her sorrows away. That, and plotting revenge. She also found great delight in swindling foolish merfolk into striking up deals with her. She would use their insecurities against them, and have them turned them into helpless, shriveled up pulps as punishment for trusting her. It gave her a sick satisfaction having suffering subjects of the king displayed before her in her lair.
Finally, at last, an opportunity for true revenge arose. The witch discovered the king’s youngest daughter desired to become human. Spying over the girl, she saw how she and her father fought over the issue. Humans had been responsible for the death of Triton’s wife (much to Ursula’s delight), and the tragedy had left him with a prejudice towards all humans. The princess, however, wouldn’t let her silly dream go, so Ursula had her eels lure the girl to her lair, and suckered her into one of her deals. She cast a spell to make the princess human, making her free to frolic about on land until she met her true love, who with true love’s kiss could make her human permanently.
In reality, Ursula had just included that true love nonsense to keep the girl up there for a long while. Her cruel plan was to put the foolish little princess into danger, and she needed her on land to do so. Tales of the mist had spread even down to creatures living in the ocean, and upon hearing about it, Ursula decided that nothing would be more gratifying than having Triton lose his daughter to it. She would make sure the princess was whisked away by it, and if by some miracle Triton actually managed to save her, he would still have to surrender his crown to the witch in order to release her from the contract she had signed.
Either way he would suffer. Whether by simply losing his daughter, or his entire kingdom.
Personality:
Greedy, power hungry and spiteful. Her hatred for the people of Atlantica knows no bounds, and she gets back at them by being two-faced. She lures victims in with fake kindness and false claims of seeing the light and turning over a new leaf. But once they're in her trap, she takes great joy in screwing them over. After years of doing this, she's come to enjoy not only making Atlantians suffer, but anyone really. It's all fair game, and always amusing. After living in bitter resentment for so long, her humanity and empathy towards other beings has pretty much gone to the wayside. She may have been a decent person once, but that was a long time ago.
Along with that, Ursula is also quite glamorous. Her whole life she was treated as a lesser being by merfolk, telling her that her skin, hair and tentacles were strange. But that just served as fuel to make her love herself. She's honestly proud of her body, and carries herself like the refined diva she feels she deserves to be treated like. She has the ability to change herself with magic-- make herself thinner, get rid of the tentacles and become socially acceptable-- but simply doesn't want to. She believes she shouldn't have to change herself to please others (*coughTritoncough*), and loves herself as is.
Greatest Fear:
Never having her revenge, and never getting a taste of power again. The thought of rising above the people of Atlantica, who had made her feel like an outcast her whole life, and being their ruler brings her unparalleled joy. To never make that dream a reality is something she doesn’t even want to imagine. And on a lesser note, she wouldn't ever want to see anything awful happen to Flotsam and Jetsam either. They're, in all honesty, probably the only true friends she's ever had in her entire life. Her affection for them is genuine.
