Manaus is Rudy's son and as such has been through many of the trials she has. There is something very interesting about the 'relationship' between a writer or artist and their characters. It's possible to be very cruel to them to serve a story. I don't remember...

Having lost her seal skin, this selkie meets Fraser and his dog.
