    Watermaidens, although resembling highly athletic human women for the most part, are distinguished from purelines primarily by their hair, which is almost invariably some shade of blue. The exact shade can be anywhere from near-lavender to the blue-green hue of the sea, and it tends to have some relation to the type of water most prevalent in the area that the Watermaiden was born. E.g., a Watermaiden who was born near the sea is more likely to have blue-green hair, whilst one born near a river may have a lighter blue, and should one be born near a holy spring or the like, she has a high probability of possessing blue-violet hair. Interestingly enough, in correlation with the latter, the hair of a Watermaiden who has been Blessed with also tend towards shades of blue-violet.

    The eyes of a Watermaiden are also variable shades of blue, but less range has been recorded here. Her skin, although not naturally predisposed to any shades, will usually be found tanned from exposure to the sun, though the original hue can generally be seen when her bikini comes off for taming. Insofar as said swimsuits go, the overall preference of the breed tends towards tight-fitting but not so much so as to interdict displays of her aquatic prowess--most Watermaidens tend to be somewhat of exhibitionists.

    The overall personality norm for a Watermaiden is somewhat akin to water, actually. Beautiful, playful, and carefree on the surface, she is generally difficult to roil, and will cheerfully display her beauty and skill, even if it means washing over that of others, which generally makes her come off as competitive... until the offended 'girl confronts her about it or manages to outdo her. In these cases, the Watermaiden will generally shrug the other off, not seeming to care much if other's are better than her and considering those who confront her to be just uptight. This, naturally, makes her almost unfailingly infuriating to passionate and easily angered fire-types. As such, although Watermaidens are fairly good for inexperienced tamers, not having very high expectations, it is unwise for anyone without an Airmaiden to attempt putting one in the same harem as a fire-type, especially a Firemaiden.

    This recommendation is not made purely out of consideration for the fire-type, however; if enough stress is built up, a Watermaiden may snap into a mode of extreme intensity, one which only time or unconsciousness can generally remedy. It should be noted, though, that this reaction isn't entirely negative. If it achieved due to sexual stress rather than normal, the resulting intensity makes, from a 'girl normally noted to be a submissive and placid lover, an amorous sex-fiend that could put many fire-types to shame.

    During the war, Watermaidens were often used to begin attack ports and other installations that touch upon the water. As such, the battling potential of a Watermaiden can only be taken advantage optimally if a large source of water is available for manipulation. This does not, however, mean that Watermaidens cannot fight elsewhere; drawing water from vapor or out of the ground, they are capable of effecting techniques such as Water Sword and Water Tower in all by the most arid conditions. Due to their generally relaxed style in bed, however, they aren't commonly seen in sex battles...barring those who have been specially trained to take advantage of the "intensity" mode.

    A feral Watermaiden isn't a great threat, being too busy showing herself off to bother attacking unless threatened. Threshold cases are fairly common, especially in girls who live near water. They will generally take it fairly well, though, as their appearance doesn't greatly change and they gain rather neat powers.

    There have been reports of an unlikely trio of Pokégirls seen in the Mountain League. This trio consists of a Watermaiden, a Firemaiden and an Airmaiden traveling together. Since there is generally a rivalry and mutual between Firemaidens and Watermaidens, researchers are still baffled by these Pokégirls' friendship with one another. Many have speculated that it is due to the presence of the Airmaiden, however; for further information, see the Airmaiden entry.
