Biography
Hello there! I'm Pelageya Lamantina. I'm the daughter of Sea Cow. My father and the other sea cows lived in the great seas of the north. Kotick had to find us on his journey.

One thing that is well-known about our people is our bowing councils, where we bow to each other as a form cf communication. It is very strange to outsiders. We aren't talkers, and when we speak to humans, the sea cow language (which is not related to any human language) sounds like gibberish. We've learned to speak Russian over the years so we can communicate with the sea craatures of the Bering Sea.

Our witch ductors have taught me and my brother spells so we can attend the school as humans. Of course, our skin looks all wrinkly like a sea cow's, so it gets us easily noticed.

I'm a Royal since I would love to take the role of my father and help out the next Kotick on his quest.

Trivia

 * Pelageya's surname is derived from the Russian word for manatee.
