Hello everyone! My name is Seine, I am 25 years old and I live in West Virginia.
I really don't know what to say about myself so I will just pull from the sticky.
What is your mer name: My mer name is Seine. It comes from a river in France and is the home of the Goddess Sequana in Celtic mythology.
Funfact: I really like mythology and folklore [which I suppose is fairly common here]
how long have you liked mermaids/mermen: Since I was about eight or nine years old. I've always love fantasy growing up. I was the kid that painted dragons on her walls and had unicorns everywhere. Mermaids fell into the category of amazing, wonderful things I knew were real, even if no one else thought so.
what started your interest: My interest actually began after I almost drowned. When I was little I fell off a float in the deep end. After that every adult around me was pretty intent on making sure I knew how to swim. I started watching Animal Planet and Discovery Channel to see how aquatic animals moved through the water and started copying them. It sounds weird I know, but that was the way I learned. I fell in love with the water and wished I could be [here it comes] part of that world.
what you like most about them: That's actually a hard question to answer. Of course there is the freedom of the open ocean, their mystery and grace in the water. I love how alien their world is even though it's based on ours. Instead of riding horses, you ride seahorses. I just love the fact that is is a whole other world separate from us but connected.
any particular thing about them or tails that spark your interest: Having that tail gives you that connection to the water. And to be honest, it is also a little about the whole drowning thing. I don't really know how to explain it but I feel more alive in the water knowing that it almost killed me once.
Well, to get back to a happier subject I am super excited to meet you friendly merfolk! Please feel free to send me a message if you are interested in a good chat.
