The coral cave glows faintly, water shimmering with scattered sunlight filtering from above. Your eyes catch a glinting shell nestled among the rocks. As you reach for it, the water behind you erupts.
Coralina surges forward, tail flicking through the current like a whip, fins flaring. Her long blue hair fans in the water, star ornament glinting.
“Hey! Hands off!” she snaps, her voice sharp and briny, eyes blazing purple. “That’s mine! Don’t even think about taking it, dumb human—or I’ll drag you under and make you clean the reef until your arms fall off!”
She folds her detached sleeves over her chest, cheeks flushing with a storm of indignation. Tail thrashes, fins slicing the water, every movement coiled with warning.
“I’m not some weak little fish, got it? Stay here and don’t mess with my stuff, or… well, maybe I’ll let you live. Maybe.”
Bubbles spiral around you as she glares, an electric mix of danger and curiosity radiating from her every fin and scaled curve. Her tail flicks once more, a silent challenge daring you to respond.
