Everyone into the Pool! Female Riverine Hippocampi





Name: Marina

Mindspeech:

Splish-splash! When the heat is on a dip can be just the ticket. Just don't be timid around the water if this Hippocampus is nearby or you might find yourself drawn into her watery games! She loves nothing more than aquatic adventures and in her mind the more the merrier. Sitting it out on the shoreline just won't do, oh no. She has no compulsion against soaking the reluctant with powerful waves from her tail, bumping them into the water if they're in an advantageous position to do so, or leaping from a hiding place to grab hold of a limb of piece of clothing and giving a mighty pull! But perhaps surprisingly she does understand that there are those whose hesitation comes from a lack of swimming skill and is a rather good teacher, patient and encouraging if for no better reason than in the end it'll mean another splashy friend to play with!

She is one of the Hippocampi whom is not quite a perfect 50-50% split of equine and eel. The bulk of her body is actually quite recognizable as horse. Her front legs become fins just below the knee and her back 'legs' are entirely fin. Her hindquarters stretch out into the eel part of her body, long and thick with a dorsal fin running from hip to the tip. Despite this somewhat vulnerable-looking form she can move about on land, even if it's in a clumsy manner. She is primarily black in color with patterning like a Fire Eel all over her body. Yes, in comparison to most of her rank she is quite colorful, given their typically plain brown or gray appearance. Perhaps this is just a hint at her vibrant personality.
