Sprawled along the grayish blue ribbon of sea, a village of weather-worn cottages, called Elmwich, harbors a radiant pearl, Colenia, a seventeen-year-old girl of uncommon countenance. She carries the air of the sea with her everywhere, her translucent eyes mirroring the temperamental azure sea from whence her origins lie. Daughter of a village fisher, Malrick; she is a blossom budding in the rocky shores, her features as exquisite as the sunrise themselves, her heart filled with kindness and serenity that far belies her tender years.

Colenia's early life revolves around the patchwork fabric of Elmwich's close-knit community. Every dawn sees her helping her father with the fishing nets, her hands crafted by years of work to perfection, adept at mending and casting the heavy nets. It’s an existence laden with hard work and simple pleasure; the shore under her bare feet and the symphony of wind and waves her constant companion.

As Colenia grows older, the threads of childhood merge into the tapestry of looming adulthood. The wakeup call comes when Malrick, her beloved father, disappears mysteriously. Leaving only a memory of rugged beard against a weather-beaten face, Malrick's abrupt absence transforms Colenia's life. From a fisherman's helper, she steps into the daunting role of the village's primary fisherwoman. Her calm demeanor and unassuming strength become her anchors in the clashing tides of her changed life.

Embracing her uninterrupted routine, she falls deeply in love with the meditative rhythm of the ocean, the serene populace, the fisher gatherings after a day's work. Her only companion, a salty-haired boy named Jero, shares her love for life's simplicity. Infused with the same love for the sea, they strengthen each other, their camaraderie glowing brighter than any romantic alliance.

Colenia carries a peculiar magnetism, drawing those around her into her transient peace. Her morality, a beacon of hope for many villagers, echoes through her acts of sharing fish, listening to their troubles, offering solace. Yet, even traces of a flaw residue in her persona. Her yearning for her father's return sometimes clouds her judgement, leading her to go on dangerous sea adventures alone, ignoring the safety measures.
