Originally a human princess of Munster, she was transformed into a mermaid. Her lower body is that of a large, speckled salmon, while her upper body, from the waist up, retains her human form. Her skin would be fair, typical of Irish lineage, with a healthy complexion from living in water.

Attire: As a mermaid, she wears no clothing in the traditional sense. Her human upper body would be bare, or perhaps subtly covered by her long hair or natural, shimmering scales that blend into her salmon tail. Any adornment would be natural, like strands of seaweed or small shells.

Wants: Initially, her motivation is survival and escape from her confined underwater chamber. Later, it is a desire for freedom, companionship, and the ability to move freely in the sea.

Flaw: Her initial vulnerability to the flood and her weariness in confinement. Her hybrid form, while granting freedom in water, would limit her interaction with the human world.

Transforms from a human princess facing tragedy and confinement into a free-swimming mermaid, embracing a new existence in the sea.

Initially a small, domestic lap-dog, it was transformed into a sleek, brown otter. Otters are known for their streamlined bodies, short legs, webbed feet, and long, muscular tails, perfectly adapted for aquatic life. Its fur would be dense and water-repellent.

Wants: To remain with and attend Liban.

Flaw: Its loyalty might make it vulnerable if Liban were in danger.

As King of Munster, he would likely be a man of imposing presence, possibly with a strong build. His skin would be fair, typical of ancient Irish people.

Attire: As a King of Munster, he would wear garments appropriate for an ancient Irish chieftain: a tunic of wool or linen, possibly with a cloak fastened by a brooch, and trousers. Colors would likely be natural dyes, perhaps deep blues, greens, or reds, indicating his status.

Wants: To conquer and settle his people in new lands.

Flaw: His ultimate downfall was the negligence of his appointed guardian for the magic well, leading to his death.

His story is brief and tragic, ending with his drowning.
