Nathaniel Burke || selkie || taken || George Blagden
Nathaniel was born the youngest out of his three siblings on the coast of France. His family were a tight knit pack, who travelled the seas every summer. The seas were good to him, and even if he acted as the mediator a lot to not only sea creatures but to his siblings, Nathaniel he loved his family. There were even other selkies to visit on holidays. Though as time was spent in France, more and more poachers came to their waters. Word got out in their village of the growing numbers in sea lions. Fishermen made their waters dangerous to hunt and swim. Nathaniel was caught in a net and was nearly lost from his family.
When he woke up, Nathaniel was in his human form on a distant shore, and a man with him, and Nate passed out again. When he came to, his family had found him, and he was safe, but they had to leave their shore with the growing danger. Other selkies had told Nate’s family about Soapberry Springs, a safe haven for creatures such as they. Now Nate lives here, free to swim and follow a career as the French Professor. Now Nate only dreams of the mysterious man who saved him and who he was.
How well do you take criticism? “Well, I think it depends.. I like criticism on maybe my work or when I teach. But never my clothes or my cooking.”
What’s something you know you do differently than most people? “I’m a fantastic surfer. “Not a lot of people know, but I’ve actually won competitions.”
