Bloupool Papslupsloop

Bloupool is a Kuo-Toa who is the self-proclaimed Archpriestess of Glip-Glip, an imaginary goddess that she believes she is in a romantic relationship with.

Despite being born into a low society rank, her beauty elevated her into becoming a monitor (warrior monk), during which she began delusions of a powerful goddess named Glip-Glip. After serving as a talented monitor in Kuo-Toa society, her exceptional beauty caught the attention a powerful priest-dukes named Akuabootoa, who ended her service as a monitor in order to become his most beautiful and prized concubine. She missed being a warrior monk, and after a delusional epiphany where Glip-Glip urged her to leave her master so they can be together, she ran away and left Kuo-Toa society.

She now roams the Underdark as the Archpriestess of Glip-Glip, setting up crude shrines to her wherever she can, and adopted a more outsider-friendly mindset (as opposed to most other Kuo-Toa) in order to spread the worship of her non-existent goddess lover to as many people as possible.

She is not the only practicing believer, as she had managed to convinced Akuabootoa's six other concubines that Glip-Glip existed, leading them to practice worship in secret. Because of this, Glip-Glip can occasionally manifest in small but real ways, particularly during moments of strong faith and love from Bloop, such as when she is sacrificing a life in Glip-Glip's name.

Appearance

Bloop is average height for a Kuo-Toa, around 5ft tall with a round stocky body with prominent fins that have a light silky consistent (similar to beta fish fins) compared to the normal rigidity fish fins typically have. She is most often covered in a thick layer of slime her body naturally produces, which gives off a salty fish odor and makes her whole body have a shimmering sheen to it. When a thin layer of gets on her fins, it causes them to have a dazzling, sparkly appearance.

Her scales are usually a medium blue-grey with a lighter underbelly, and pale freckles across her face. But like many Kuo-Toa, her scales will change hue from intense emotional states. Her scales will take on a more purplish color when irritated or angry, a deeper indigo color when elated, a dull grey when crestfallen, and a pallid blue when anxious or scared.

Although she doesn't blink and most other races would consider her face very expressionless and hard to read, her budging orange eyes and typically agape mouth is considered to bright and cheery to most other Kuo-Toa.

As a Kuo-Toa, she possesses sharp teeth and claws, and webbed hands and feet.

Bloop is consider especially beautiful among the Kuo-Toa, possess many of the ideal beauty standards: prominent lush silk-like fins that glimmer, excessively slimy skin that gives a desirable glisten, a distinct saltiness to her potent fishy smell, and a large bulging forehead (which the Kuo-Toa incorrectly believe indicates great intelligence).

and was kept at his private royal spawning pit like many other concubines of the elites. She bore two clutches of eggs for him, the Pearl Pool and the Powerful Pool, both noble fingerling pools under Akuabootoa's possession.
