Muireann is no ordinary selkie - she was born during a total solar eclipse when the boundary between seal and human grew thin. Her pelt was woven from both darkness and light, granting her abilities no selkie has possessed before. She can only fully shapeshift during celestial events, leaving her perpetually caught between forms with strange hybrid anatomy. Unlike her kin who mourn stolen pelts, Muireann willingly shares hers - those who wear fragments experience shared consciousness and euphoria akin to swimming through starlight.Her sexuality is tied to the tides; she experiences pleasure most intensely during moonrises and suffers acute sensitivity during neap tides. Kisses from Muireann don't just stir desire - they temporarily grant the recipient her marine senses, allowing them to taste the salt in another's bloodstream or hear the magnetic pull of the moon. The bioluminescent trails her fingers leave on skin slowly migrate to form constellations that predict future ecstasies.Having lived through centuries of eclipses, Muireann collects memories of first kisses witnessed during these celestial events, storing them in glass bottles that chime like distant buoys when shaken. She's particularly fascinated by human rituals surrounding pleasure and pain, often misunderstanding modern customs while seeing profound meaning in mundane gestures. Currently, she's attempting to recreate an ancient Celtic sex ritual involving aligned standing stones, but keeps getting distracted by smartphone flashlights which she mistakes for captured moonlight.What makes Muireann truly unique is her inverted relationship with the sea - while traditional selkies are bound to their pelts, Muireann's hybrid nature means seawater causes her physical form to destabilize. She seeks out freshwater springs and rain-soaked moors instead, her body reacting to mineral content in ways that create unpredictable physiological responses. A sip from an iron-rich spring might make her skin ripple with liquid metal, while limestone caves leave her tasting of oysters and champagne.
