"I don't mind learning," Ulla confirms. And as for the rest of it... "This isn't the body I was born with. I'm mostly sildroher. My magic is sildroher, and so was my upbringing. But I have some human witch blood. And then my transformation was corrupted years ago, giving me an eel tail instead of a fish tail."

To head off any worries, "I prefer it now. It's much more convenient on land, and I'm never going back to the world I came from. It's only one of a number of reasons my people wouldn't welcome me."
