Ah, I adore what you've done so far, Shadow! Your world building never fails to amaze me, and your characters are all so dynamic. I love Ceto, and predict a beautiful friendship with Wylie in her future.
'No legs' has been my favourite so far. Ceto strikes me as being so loving, so protective, and always ready to stand up for what's right - though I suppose those are the very qualities that a future Tidecaller would be chosen for. Her mother seems just gorgeous, too. I love the way they interacted with each other <3
Can't wait for the next one!

ᴛᴜᴇsᴅᴀʏ - I got #3 done. (': Dingoleap - Thank you, Dingo. (': Ceto has been a happy challenge to write. She's got a much more pure and positive outlook than I'm used to. Though that will change and mold her into something stronger once she is taken away from that happy atmosphere. I explore that descent in the #3 prompt.

Gotta go draw human versions of these beautiful characters now. <333
I love the entire aspect of the Tribe. To me, they almost sound like the islanders of Polynesia or Hawaii. And the ocean god sounds so cool; it's a force-of-nature diety with flaws, and I can't wait to read about it.

They kinda do don't they? Their whole livelihoods depend on the ocean. Its also where the greatest danger comes from. o3o' I'm excited to learn more about him too. x'D Writing this much is helping me solidify my ideas much quicker than usual. I just hope I can keep up!

Naia - means "wave, sea foam" in basque. Female.
Kaito - means "sea, ocean" in Japanese. Male.
New characters coming to you soon...

She is such a lighthearted character, and I'm glad she challenges you! I have the same problem sometimes - all my characters are dark and moody, to the point where it becomes difficult at times to write happy scenes.

Same here. A lot of my characters have dark pasts that break them and force them to change in some way shape or form. Ceto, on the other hand, holds onto her optimistic ideals and her morals even after some hard things happen to her. She is a rare gem.

Headcanon that Human!Amatheia wears a shell crown like this:
In fact, I imagine "mermaid crowns" as a typical headdress for high ranking Tribe women. :o

I don't know why!! I mean, maybe it's just how I am by nature? I am a more realistic thinker than I used to be. I'm not the most optimistic person and I think of good and bad outcomes all the time. I can't find in myself to make all my stories so unrealistically happy even if it can be a more satisfying read. And then there is depression, but I'd like to think my writing isn't effected by it. I draw experience and ideas and metaphors from it, but I don;t let it dictate the moods you know?
Are you that way? More realistic than optimistic/fantasy thinker?

ᴛᴜᴇsᴅᴀʏ - I GOT SHARKS DONE YO ( #9 ) I took this both 'literally' and metaphorically. The council chamber was described specifically for a reason. A rounded bubble with blue glow worms to make it feel like your under water, and then the council members on raised pillars around her. It was supposed to be like her walking into a shark tank or a cage, except she could also be the shark, while the council members were all minnows. It can be taken a few ways, so it's open to interpretation. ^^'

I draw experience and ideas and metaphors from it, but I don;t let it dictate the moods you know? Are you that way? More realistic than optimistic/fantasy thinker? I am basically the same. As much as I love happy endings, I much prefer the more realistic, gritty stuff. I think it has a lot to do with personal circumstance - I know live isn't all sugar and rainbows, so that tends to be reflected in my writing. I tend to base my characters off aspects of myself in order to give them that more realistic side, so more often then not, they tend to reflect the same values/experiences, much like you do. I've struggled mentally and emotionally and was in a very dark place for a while, so it tends to get reflected quite a bit I'm my writing. I often throw in some characters/scenes/dialogue for comic relief to balance out all the 'realness', though. Often it just comes down to me understanding the darker side of emotions and being able to write that better than a character that is always happy all the time.
So yeah, much more realistic XD

Well, that makes sense then! I prefer the gritty stuff myself too. And, as much as I like to think I base my characters off of people in my life, I've noticed I put something of myself in them too.
