Name of Species: Yu Fu
Baseline Dimension: Yu Fu naturally come as mermaid-like people. Combining the length of their tail to head, they can range from 4ft 9 inches to 7ft, strongly dependant on their tails however. They weigh 56 kilos on average. They gain average human heights and weight when entering a human form after removing their tails.
Culture/Origin of Species: The Yu Fu are descendants of mermaids and selkies, hence they are all female. This caused them to gain the ability to walk on land and shed their mermaid tail in favor for legs. They used to inhabit the Hisakawa waters before leaving as the monarchy set themselves up. Now a large populace occupies Mistere, and in order to accommodate these watery residents, underground channels of water go through the city to allow them to travel without the need to take of their tails.
Traits: List of traits for the species. These are inherent positive quirks of the species that almost all members should have as a baseline. For every 2 traits a species must also have 1 flaw.
• The Yu Fu are well known for their ability to remove their own tails. Upon doing so their tails become like a cloth which upon putting on again will allow them to enter their mermaid form again. As they technically aquatic, they are able to swim proficiently and breathe underwater.
• Most Yu Fu are capable singers. Instead of throats, they have something they call “Conch Shells”. This replacement allows them to manipulate their voice to a degree that they can basically go to any pitch and any volume they can hear, while being able to manipulate water bodies.
• Yu Fu will have a natural nautical compass, so they rarely get lost while out in the ocean. Just don’t expect them to help you with land navigation though.
Flaws: List of flaws for the species. These are inherent negative quirks of the species that almost all members should have as a baseline. For every 2 traits a species must have 1 flaw.
•Yu Fu have one major weakness. If they stray too long from their tails, they will start to feel the urge to return to a body of water. At first the symptoms are they frantically search for their tail, and the longer they take the stronger the urge becomes. Once they take too long, they petrify into a salt statue. Putting on the tail before turning into salt statue will remove the urges immediately.

Baseline Appearance: Their lower half varies based on ancestry, though most common tails are Koi, Betta, Guppy and Goldfish. It is notable that some tails could be of other aquatic species from crustaceans to aquatic mammals, most common of these variants being seal tails. Eye color often has the palette of the sea, though commonly sea green, ocean blue and abyssal black. Hair often comes in pink, yellow and blue.

Yu Fu tend to wear jewellery with different colors that represent their emotions, and respect for the elders is apparent. Though curiously bare back clothing and swimsuits is also a common choice.
Yu Fu society runs under a monarchy, and use a special form of currency as normal currency used in Mistere would not be even usable in Yu Fu's underwater cities. This currency is known as Shells(Shells to Mistere currency is 1 to 1), which is water proof and feature the current Queen(Princess if the Queen has passed before announcing the next in line). Yu Fu childbirth is a mystery, a kept secret among the married Yu Fu. Though it is known that there is a sacred kindergarten where eggs are kept in secret. Half children usually never see the kindergarten unless the Yu Fu has gone back to lay her eggs. Most Yu Fu have single children, and tend to have 3 children throughout their lives.
Yu Fu study a religion known as Coral, a belief that the biggest things are started from the smallest of everyone.
