Sea Lion Shores this ain't no place for no hero.

Julep Cairn was not an easy one to manage. However she could, and whenever she got a small chance, the little tiger shark would do her best to give the sheepdog a hard time. Running away, hiding from them, messing with her siblings, rejecting her guidance, were but the simplest of ways Julep made her statement. She was not Coelacanth's daughter.

She'd done her best to avoid leaving the bay, the place that had seen her birth, where she would reunite with her parents... But she'd been forced this once, along her brother and sister, to leave their home behind. Winter was taking a toll on them, proving to be simply too much for the seadog alone to overcome, and so they'd parted in search for refuge, trailing along the coast in what seemed an aimless journey in Julep's golden eyes. She didn't stray too far from the group, but Julep went ahead on her own to take the matters in her own hands. The coastline was her path, and her bravery the drive. She wanted to be the one that saved her family, not the sheepdog, and so she would find shelter before another snowstorm him them like the last time.

Not far from the Bay, Julep heard a strange grunting that caught her attention. She rushed up a sand hill to find an even stranger scene. A beach, stretching for miles, carpeted in smelly and noisy sea lions. Julep had heard about these creatures once or twice, but she'd never seen one up close before. Curiosity overtook her, and she trotted down to the beach to make her way between the fat and the heat of the lazy beasts. For the most part they allowed her to walk by, but not all of them were as careless. Some would chase after Julep, to which the girl would easily escape with a sprint.
