In European tradition, “Ondine” is a mythological figure and water nymph who becomes human when she falls in love with a man but is doomed to die if he is unfaithful to her. In other interpretations, Ondine is also the name of a selkie, another kind of mythological creature and seal mermaid found in Scotland, Ireland and some other cultures. Selkies are shapeshifters, transforming between seal and human form by shedding and replacing their skin. Representing the calmness and majesty of the sea, selkies are graceful, kind natured and amorous, resulting in any humans coming across them falling desperately in love.
