She is a selkie, but not of your usual sort. Instead of transforming from seal to woman, Yewna is of a voluptuous woman's shape, covered in a seal-like fur coat.
Yewna is sweet and resourceful.
A sharp knife with a scrimshaw handle.
Yewna was raised in the North in a selkie colony. When she came of age, she was placed into the large harem of a big burly bull named Huuk. For her work, she and a group of other cows would sew and mend whale-skin clothing and care for small pups. She gave birth to a selkie pup when she was nineteen. The pup was adventurous as he grew older. When he was toddling on his wobbly flippers, he slipped too far away from her on the ice and was snatched up by an orca. Yewna was so devastated by her pup’s death, as well as the violent attacks by the half-orca Nekelari, that she resolved to leave the colony and head for warmer waters, where she imagined things are more peaceful.
