Biography:

The first thing Lulu (lovingly nicknamed by her Warren family) heard, beyond the encouraging calls of her mother to break her egg, was the low, soul-shuddering thrum of Scylla's song. She quickly developed an interest in the leviathan that guarded the depths around the Warren, much to her mother's irritation. While the rest of her fry were content to stay close where they were safe, Lulu kept trying to go deeper. Until the day where she met her idol.

Scylla was a titan in the truest sense of the world. Monolithic in size as well as presence. When the little fry came swimming up to her without a hint of fear, Scylla wrapped her in a song of protection and amusement and love. Lulu knew that nothing in her life would ever measure up to the touch of that pure and profound emotion.

Throughout the years, as her siblings began to explore other connections and other worlds, Lulu wanted only to know Scylla and her world. This biome that existed in fragile balance all because of the Ancient's presence. The horrors that lay beyond her domain, and her intent to restore balance to a place that had too long been canted to one side. Whatever Scylla desired, Lulu desired it too.

Now several years old but still young to strike out on her own, Lulu has enmeshed herself with Scylla's pod. Though too small to accompany her idol on forays into the deeper depths, she puts all of her effort into being the best support she can back home. Lulu helps tend to the new recruits, settles the expats, and communicates with the Warren's own water-based dragons as best she can. She has dubbed herself a sort of envoy between the two, serving as the communication hub when the rest of the pod is far out of range of the shallows-based water dragons.

All the while, Lulu is patient. She is growing. Someday soon, she will be big enough to join Scylla. Then she will finally be able to prove herself to the titan that defined her world.
