victorian mussel shaped vinaigrette in handcrafted silver, engraved 'Lucy'. 1876.

there are many young merfolk out there, so i felt the desire to create a badass elder for mermay :) she’s as much derived from as she is dedicated to the vuvalini of MMFR– i also sincerely hope she brings joy to my mutuals older than me who always delight and inspire me, and to all older women in fandom, really, who i continuously thought of while working on her. i hope it’s obvious but just in case: she’s beluga / inuit (Edit: *inuk is the singular term and what i should have used instead of inuit; a sweet anon let me know!). and yes, a name and backstory eventually developed! haha
