Cris is a slender seagull Shellfolk, balanced lightly on a sculptural base of green-toned shell. Her wings are lifted but steady, shaped from pale shell pieces that taper into soft, translucent edges. Her posture feels attentive rather than hurried, as if she has paused mid-step to observe what is happening around her. In the story, Cris is the seagull who watches first and acts with care, choosing patience over speed while the Shellfolk wait for the sea sparkles to appear.
