Additional Members & Guests


The Society members and guests are an eclectic group of family, friends and magical creatures. Within the Soaking Society, days are devoted to uncovering gentler ways to mend wounds and whisper across the boundary between humans and their cherished ocean creatures..

Society Members & Guests

Marilen The Octopus Whisperer

Marilen, christened by the society as the octopus whisperer, was said to have learned her talent after an octopus stole her lunch as a child, only to return it neatly plated with sea herbs and an apology written in bubbles. Now she roams the Soaking Society’s halls with an entourage of mischievous cephalopods, translating their gossip and teaching them impeccable high tea manners.

Elias The Apprentice

Raised on sea-soaked stories told by his legendary captain-grandfather, Elias developed an uncanny habit of charting imaginary currents in the margins of his notebooks—currents that later proved to match real ocean shifts with eerie accuracy. Though a dedicated apprentice under Thaddeus Tidewell, he carries a mischievous curiosity that suggests he might someday uncover currents even the Chroniclers have never dared to name.

Ina The Sea Guardian

Ina moves through the halls of The Soaking Society with a grace so fluid and uncanny that many whisper she must be descended from mermaids, though no one has ever been able to prove it. Fiercely protective of every sea creature in her care, she wields her compassion—and her quiet, tidal strength—like a shield against any threat that dares approach her waters.

Silas The Mermaid Princess

Silas, the sea’s most unpredictable young princess, sneaks into The Soaking Society whenever underwater palace life grows dull, trading royal etiquette lessons for spa mischief, octopus tea parties, and the occasional unauthorized whirlpool with the sea horses.
