Appearance
Foka is a northern fur seal with big black eyes. He wears a sailor hat and neckerchief.

Personality
Foka is a bit of a goofball, as seals tend to be (at least according to him). He loves swimming and is skilled at performing tricks. His breath tends to smell somewhat foul due to the anchovies and mackerels he eats for lunch every day.

Biography
Hello! I'm Foka Kotikov, the son of Kotick. I live in a seal village with my family on an island in the Bering Sea, near the maritime border between Russia and Alaska. My father searched for a new home for his people, away from human hunters.

I am my father's heir, and I am due to succeed him. I'm a little sad that my story isn't well-known despite being part of The Jungle Book. The book is about more than Mowgli, you know. Although the obscurity of my parents' story has saved my family from inordinate media attention (except from marine biologists who like filming us for the Discovery Channel, which gets annoying after a while).

I'm a bit of a class clown. Some people say I'm more like a sea lion than a fur seal. (A little off-topic: fur seals aren't actually true seals due to their ears.) I love performing tricks for other students in my spare time. Sometimes I'll do those routines that they do in seal shows in aquariums. I even get paid for it. But my true calling lies in the wild, where I'm supposed to lead my family to safety from the humans. Where we live is sparsely populated, but sadly seals are still hunted, and I need to protect them. Thus I side with the Royals.
