Appearance
Illarion is a huge Steller's sea cow (a large animal resembling a manatee) who wears a pair of hipster glasses. During the school day he transforms into a human boy with wrinkly skin like a sea cow, but reverts to his sea cow form afterwards. He is slightly bigger than his sister Pelageya.

Personality
Illarion is not like other sea cows - he's talkative, sometimes to the point of annoyance. He's always trying to make friends with the other students, but people are often repelled by his jabber jaw.

Biography
Hello? How are you? I'm Illarion Lamantin, and I'm a sea cow! Of course, I don't look like a cow. I look more like a giant manatee. I'm not like other sea cows, though - I talk a lot. Yep, I love talking! Talking burns off energy.

My father met Kotick the white seal on his journey, but of course, he didn't talk to him. Us sea cows are very peculiar creatures - we're not talkers, but we do a lot of bowing. I, on the other hand, am pretty talkative. I'm a bit of a blabbermouth, which students seem to find annoying. My sister finds me annoying too, although we get along well.

I have to attend classes in the form of a human since a classroom on dry land is no place for a sea cow. It's hard to get around on land unless I'm dolled up like that. Lunchtime is pretty good, since there's plenty of strange foods. I've made friends with Foka Kotikov, the son of Kotick. He's pretty cool, but sometmes he thinks I can get annoying. When I'm at home, I have Palmira Sirene to keep me company. Mermaids are pretty nice, so that's an added bonus.

Oh, man. There's no more room for talking right now.

Trivia

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