Somewhat of a wild spirit, Mina lives by herself, in a small cave
near the shore. She spends most of her time swimming, fishing, or doing something in the water, claiming that
"salt water heals everything." She considers herself both a sort of lifeguard and also siren, keeping watch of and
protecting the beach and its visitors, while also leading visitors into the water with her, showing them the wonders
of the ocean.
Mina is a outgoing, passionate kalon, putting all her energy into tasks, no matter what those tasks might be. She works hard,
or at least tries to, and always strives for results. Although generally book smart, Mina is not very street smart, often getting confused at sarcasm and metaphors. She is eager to learn, however, and once she learns a new metaphor, or idiom, or trendy slang word, she uses it all the time, often to the amusement of others. Mina loves to collect any rocks, shells, and trinkets she finds around the beach, keeping them in a disorganized, but strangely orderly, collection. She also runs a sort of lost and found this way, letting people come and take items they have lost out of Mina's collection. Mina is very kind and caring, always willing to lend a helping paw to those who might need one. However, she does not trust easy, despite what she may show on the outside. After one too many rude visitors, she developed a sort of "people personality" that she shows to others. Usually only close friends or the extremely observant can tell how she really feels at any moment, if she really tries to hide it.

Mina stared down at the crystalline water as it lapped at her paws. She slowly stepped farther into the ocean, taking her time to feel the water working through her fur. She had had a long day today, and she wanted nothing more than to relax in the ocean, letting the current massage her. However, she had work to do. She was up to her nose, standing on her toes, when she took a deep breath and submerged. She opened her eyes, taking in the beautiful coast, filled with fish and plants of all kinds. No matter how many times she saw it, it managed to amaze her. She took off, swimming gracefully in between schools of fish and pieces of coral. After stopping for air, She eventually arrived at a rocky coral structure, in which a small eel popped his head out of. Mina smiled and pulled out a few pieces of fish, which the eel snatched greedily. She nodded affirmatively and left him to eat. She swam around to the other part of the coral, and fed a few more fish, and then, job seemingly done, started to swim up to the surface. As she broke through the foam on top the waves, a peculiar sight caught her attention. A group of fins and long snouts were gallivanting around, a few meters from her. Mina couldn't help but smile wide.
Dolphins. She took a breath, then hurriedly swam over to the dolphins, turning circles. The dolphins returned the gesture, and soon they all were playing, chasing each other and swimming loops underwater. As the sun set, the 2 groups part ways, needing to get home. Mina waved goodbye to the dolphins, before swimming off towards shore.
