Character Aesthetic | Selkies

Gentle souls who prefer dancing in the moonlight over luring sailors to their death, Selkies undergo a full body transformation upon coming to shore: they completely shapeshift from the sea animals into a human. This is accomplished by shedding their seal-skin when they come to land. Selkies can only remain in the presence of humans for a short period of time, and then must commonly wait seven years to return the shore.
