More selkies! After some consideration I will stick to the bear/seal hybid designs. This makes them way more versatile and it makes sense that humans would want to transform into an animal that can swim as well as it can run. More rant under the cut

Many coastal folks have developed their own techniques for pelts, and can become selkies that are inspired by their local fauna. Pelt carving is a very delicate craft, and the resulting pelt can fail when it is damaged through trauma or simple wear and tear and requires lots of mending and checking - because a failing pelt can seriously harm a human. However, everyone who can work magic through a charm can use them.

True selkies hail from cultures who have been using these pelts for such a long time; the magic has affected them in such a way that sometimes, people are born with pelts. These grow with their owner, they are very robust and can heal on their own.

In the line-up you can see Seal Supremacy Grandma, Aard, which are ice bear/leopard seal selkies, and Lorri, she is a grizzly/walrus selkie :D

There are people you just don't want to mess with. But sometimes, they leave you no choice.

Look inside my heart and find a perilous ravine

Carved within the beauty, the darkness in between

Standing in the balance of complete and incomplete

I identify the echo of what is and what will be
