Daire is an Irish, AMAB Selkie who uses her sealskin to transition, sometimes more than intended.

Played a little bit with idea of my Selkie girl Daire. My idea was she can keep a half shifted form up to a bit bigger and more feminine, by wearing her sealskin, but is always on the edge of fully BWOMPing out.

Selkies are among our favourite shapeshifters- beautiful seals in water and beautiful people on land but there are dark, abusive undertones to their sealskins being stolen by fishermen.

Selkies are beings capable of changing from seal to human form by shedding their skin. They are found in folktales from the Northern Isles of Scotland.
Female selkies are often trapped into relationships with humans by someone stealing & hiding their sealskin.

Tales of selkies (shapeshifting seal women in Scottish lore) often romanticize bride kidnapping. In "The Selkie Bride," a man steals a selkie's sealskin. She begs him to return it, but he forces her to stay on land & marry him. Somehow she comes to love him.

"I cannot tell if you're loyal the man who stole your sealskin or if you're just cruel!"

villain in Y/n? The men who stole & hid away the sealskin of Selkie maidens so they cannot go home. This binds them to the land, forcing them into marriage but always she stares at the sea...longing to return. If she finds her skin she surely will.
