Spritz is a terror to behold and knows it. She not only actively hunts humans but has a tally system. She marks a section of her scales with a small mark to indicate how many kills she’s made. She doesn’t do this because she has ill intents towards them. It’s actually because she respects them. She is a hunter and considers humans, especially those who pilot the river, great quarries.

To mark each successful quarry she’s caught she adds a mark to her tail. They stand out as a different color than the spot they are marked on. Green on black for example or vice versa. If one were to have a chance to sneak a spare glance at the mermaid’s tail they’d see a frighteningly large number of marks. Though catching a glimpse that up close means you’re soon to be a memory of a pleasant meal.

Spritz doesn’t use magic. This is not because she does not posses it, it’s simply because she feels it’s
Unfair to her game. She prefers a few more hands-on methods. One is tongue sniping. The art of using ones tongue to aim for and capture, if one has good eyesight and some luck, a human on the end of their tongue. Then you zip it back in and swallow. Very basic technique. Another basic technique is to splash a large amout of water on boat and sweep them overboard then she can nom them as she swims along. There’s some less offensive types she uses too. What she will not do is pretend to be a friend to her prey. The moment she spots you, it’s lunch time and she’ll tell you that. At least she’s honest, right? ^_^;

She also doesn’t play with her prey like some giant predators. While she does enjoy the flavor she prefers to swallow the larger groups quickly only stopping to remove their weapons. This isn’t the case when she encounters a smaller group and is able to reduce it to one human. If she manages this she may take a few moments to slather up her food and really get into it, but only if she’s alone. If some one swims up and spooks her she’ll likely swallow it and pretend she was only tasting.

Spritz lives literally under a rock close to a port town near the Shard River. She comes here to tend her wounds or sleep off a big meal before going out on the hunt again. She mostly gets along with all her underwater neighbors. Though has one enemy. A river naga named Tonya who has taken it upon herself to ferry humans over from one bank to the other. She finds this a silly idea and has tried to convince the naga that it’s a pointless gesture but Tonya insists it’s her duty. Sometimes when it’s hard to find prey she’ll sneak along behind Tonya and wait till she’s unloaded the humans on the river bank and then practice her tongue snipping on them or grab them and drag them in luring the others into the water to save their friends. She does this in Tonya’s presence as a reminder to her rival that humans who live and explore the world of Felarya have only one purpose…and maybe as payback for small scar on her belly which was caused by a human mage with a flair for creating sharp energy blades and giving her that disfiguration. Despite her tough-as-Blade Grass attitude she’s actually sensitive about scars. After all the marks she magically creates as reminders of past victories. Scars are a bane. Only telling all who look upon her how she failed to stop one human compared to all the ones she’s caught. Despite this she hasn’t sworn revenge. Just that one day if she ever sees him again she will be careful and catch the one that got away.
