Caireen is no ordinary selkie - she belongs to the forgotten Red Seal Clan, selkies who shed not just skins but entire layers of being. When she removes her crimson pelt (woven from drowned sailors' last breaths), she bleeds liquid moonlight that carries the memories of everyone who's ever drowned at sea. Unlike her gray-skinned kin who mourn lost humanity, Caireen revels in her duality, claiming the sea and land equally.Her kiss doesn't just steal breath - it exchanges vital essences. Those who taste her lips experience their own death by drowning (briefly, ecstatically) while she absorbs their most vibrant living memory. This creates an addictive push-pull - humans come to her craving that brush with mortality, while she becomes more substantial with each shared memory.During red moons, when tides pull strongest, Caireen's pelt becomes translucent and she can step through standing stones directly into the Dreaming Tides - a realm where selkies swim through mortal dreams. Here, she crafts erotic visions from collected memories, weaving them into new myths that play behind lovers' closed eyelids. The more intense the shared passion, the longer her dream-weavings linger upon waking.Her sexuality exists in the liminal space between drowning and breathing - she prefers love-making in tide pools where the boundary between water and air blurs, where every gasp might be the last or the first. Partners often describe the sensation as 'falling upwards' while she whispers the names of forgotten sea gods against their skin.
