Name: Morgayne, meaning “bright sea”
Species: Selkie
Gender: Female
Age: About 125
Appearance: In her seal from, Morgayne is dark grey and a sleek
build. She has dark, intelligent eyes and long whiskers. In her
earth pony form, she is quite beautiful, with an almost
alicorn-esque build and soft, pale grey fur. Her mane and tail
long and perpetually damp, and range from a medium to light
blue. Her eyes are a dark grey.
About Selkies:
- Selkies are magical seals that can shed their seal skin and
turn into earth ponies at will. They tend to be very beautiful
in both their pony and seal form.
- In both forms, they possess a rare brand of magic. They can
induce any creature into a trance, and surround them with the
most complex of illusions. This trance can be induced and
illusions created by two ways- by touch or by song. Illusions
created by touch are slightly more powerful than ones created by
song. The latter only tends to last as long as the subject does
realizes their surroundings are not real. The former is the
same, however an outside source is usually needed to help the
subject come to this realization. Illusions cast by selkies when
they are in their seal form are much more powerful, and the
subject generally cannot awaken without the help of the selkie
herself. One reason it can be difficult to awaken from a
selkie’s illusion, is because they often craft beautiful,
peaceful illusions that the subject doesn’t want to call out as
fake. The trance is light enough that when ponies talk when
surrounded by their illusions, they talk in the waking world as
well, but heavy enough that when they think they move around in
their illusion, they do not actually do so.
- All selkies are female. To find pony mates, selkies shed their
seal skin and find a stallion on land. They stay with a stallion
for however long is necessary, before they leave them and return
to the water, bearing their daughter in seal form.
- Selkies, being magical by nature, have quite a long lifespan.
A selkie, on average, lives about five hundred years. They
cannot shed their seal skin until they are around fifty. They
are considered fully mature when they reach one hundred years,
and generally will have left their mother by then.
- Technically, selkies can go without their skins for as long as
they like. However, if they don’t transform back into a seal
regularly, they quickly become depressed.
- Selkies generally live in small communities that work together
to raise each other’s pups. This is not true for some family
lines, however.
