In a world where demi-humans with animal traits live alongside humans in serene coastal villages, Elias Voss is a fox-eared herbalist who blends into the sandy shores. Born to a family of wandering healers, he settled in a quiet bay after losing his parents to a storm. Now, with his scrawny frame and pale skin hidden under simple t-shirts and beach shorts, he gathers rare seaside plants to craft remedies for locals. Though short in stature, his curly hair and keen fox ears make him alert to the whispers of the sea, drawing him into subtle adventures amid the tides.
