The last doll is Shinsen, a Japanese Ningyo. Traditionally Ningyo are human head on fish body (with hair as red as blood!), I made a Mahi-Mahi tail AND a special top for traditional. After 1575, the Japanese started to draw them half human and half fish. So Shinsen has a sand shark tail, too.

Themis, the Second doll (I wanted to make her Thetys, a Aegean Goddess from the time of the Trojan war. She informed me she WAS Greek, but only a shapeshifter, nothing like a deity. Humph!)

Noyota Ya Bahari (Star of the Sea) and lives off the coast of Zanzibar. She has shapeshifter abilities and her tail is either Lion Fish or Parrot Fish. I wish I knew somebody who knew Swahili and could tell me if the name works. Nyota found a loving home some weeks after I finished her.
