Nautin Pearltide
the Spiraldeep Merman
Named for the nautilus shell you wore as a child, its chambers like the unlit spaces between tides, and the single black pearl that replaced your left eye after a deep-sea accident.
Power
Pearlshadow — you can draw darkness into a physical pearl, making a place brighter for a time, but each pearl you make is a piece of your own shadow, and you are growing paler.

You were mending a net when the catch of the day turned to salt in your hands. The water all around went quiet, and a single pearl rose from the wet deck and lodged itself in your eye socket. You saw the under-reef then, the places light never reaches, and you knew you belonged there.
