With shimmering eyes and hair like cascading waves, they possess an unyielding spirit and deep understanding of the vastness and unpredictability of water. Drawn to coastal landscapes, they find solace in the rhythmic crashing of waves against rocky shores. With their innate connection to the sea, they command its power effortlessly, summoning currents, healing or harming with a mere gesture, and navigating stormy seas with unmatched skill.
