The Selkie is a mythical creature from Scottish and Irish folklore, often depicted as a seal that can shed its skin to become human. These beings are said to inhabit the waters of the North Atlantic and are known for their beauty and enchanting songs. In many tales, a Selkie may fall in love with a human, leading to stories of romance and tragedy. If a human steals a Selkie's skin, the Selkie is forced to remain on land, often resulting in a longing for the sea and a struggle between two worlds.
