<div class="floatright">(http://elliquiy.com/elluiki/images/b/b4/MorganMacLear2.png)</div><strong>Name: </strong>Morgan Mac Lear<br/><br/><strong>Skin:</strong>Selkie<br/><br/><strong>Origin:</strong>Like<del>grandmother</del>my older sister<br/><br/><em>Nnnn. Well. I like to swim, I guess? Not tall. Or beautiful the way most meaning. Athletic, though. Kind of. I'm a good swimmer. Not much a runner. Want to meet more people and have fun. Everybody else gets to go to games, and parties, and movies, and hang out. Not so much me. Lessen I push to go. Don't fit in well, guessing. Not always easy telling, you know, what people mean? Or saying. Except laughing. Getting better at telling if laughing is at me, not with me. Having to explain stuff bugs people. So I don't always ask what people mean.<br/><br/>I just want to be part of things, right? And have fun. I want to be accepted. Like everyone else is. Why not me?</em><br/><br/>Short and lithe, but most people would assume short and dumpy because even the least fashionable person can tell she has no idea how to dress well...So she resorts to 'comfortable' clothing which does nothing at all for her...And then there's the sleekly muscular young woman who just joined the swim team and shares her name, who moves like an otter once she's in the water. Standing ready to dive? Nothing to see here. Barely in balance. Awkward. And then a moment after the splash she's furrowing the water a full body length beyond anyone else and anyone can see that the gap between her and the other swimmers is only going to increase.<br/><br/>Her long dark hair hints at curl just below her waist, and lacks any styling or even the gloss of proper maintenance. As for her eyes, it isn't that they seem too large for her face, it's that there's a distance in them; they are far away, somehow, even when she's looking right at you. Drowning pools that take the color out of their surroundings: murky, dark sea-grey-green or green-black with the occasional angry flicker of deep blue jade. Hard to say where she's from, exactly. Her name taken together with her pale skin, dark hair and eyes suggests what used to be called black Irish...But the fullness of her lips and something about her nose echo Polynesia.<br/><br/>Home-schooled until this last year. Curious, and curiously lacking in social skills. She'll chew her lip in hesitation until the strain of waiting or wanting overcomes whatever fear or uncertainty was holding her back...And then explode into talk or action, either clumsy-sullen or flailing-passionately. Can't talk without moving her hands. Asks stupid questions. Speaks as clumsily as she moves, has trouble finding the right word about everyday things, waves her hands and points and gets frustrated. Good math grades, though.<br/><br/><em>They say she was adopted down in Mexico.<br/>Accent from where-is-that? <br/>No, I know a guy from Russia and he sounds nothing like that. <br/>Lost her memory, if you can believe it.</em><br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Stat Block</div><div class="spoiler_body"><strong><span class="bbc_u">Hot: 0</span></strong>   Cold: 1   Volatile: -1   <strong><span class="bbc_u">Dark: 1</span></strong><br/><br/>Moves:<br/><ul class="bbc_list"><li>Outer Skin -- When you wear your pelt you look like a seal.

When someone withholds your pelt and demands you do something for them before they’ll give it back, carry 1 forward to doing that. If they don’t return your pelt, take a String on them.</li><li>Catch of the Day -- Whenever you don’t understand what’s going on or what someone means, and it gets you into trouble, mark experience.</li></ul>Sex Move:<br/>When you have sex with someone, it counts as submerging yourself in water.
