celtic mythology: selkie
"Peppered throughout Celtic folklore are stories about seal people, also called selkies who are said to be cursed with a constant longing for what they do not have: when they are swimming in the water as seals, they yearn to be on land, and when they walk on two legs as a human, they long to be in the sea. They can transform from one creature to another by shedding their sealskin, and alternatively, putting it on again."

Mythical creatures : Faeries (The Seelie Court)
The Seelie faeries are generally honorable and loving. They believe in the idea of love as a transcendent quality, oftentimes matching themselves with humans they deem beautiful. For the Seelie, beauty and youth are the necessary elements that determine their interactions with mortals.

"Come away oh human child, to the waters and the wild, with a fairy, hand in hand, for the world's more full of weeping than you can understand."

Mythical creatures: Faeries (The Unseelie court)
The Unseelie is the polar opposite of the Seelie. These faeries are ugly, malicious, and downright evil. They are the hideous orcs to the beautiful elves, the dark side of the moon. Where the Seelie saw responsibility in their magical powers, the Unseelie saw their “glamour” as the ends to every means; the Unseelie faeries used their magic for whatever purpose that served their wants. The Unseelie spit at honor. They decide everything by putting their passions first.
