The sea otter is roughly the size of a golden retriever, I say that because some are bigger than others and some sea otters are bigger than others. They vary in color, but usually have a blondish face and a darker body. They boast a long tail, claws, sharp teeth, and they wrap themselves in floating kelp to keep from drifting out to sea while they chill, pretty much all day. Their primary source of food is abalone, but they'll eat a variety of sea life. They're found in the north of the Pacific Ocean and always near land. They are found in Russia, the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, Canada and most importantly, in California. This is where our Dear Otter spends most of her life hidden amongst the kelp.
There is nothing more majestic than watching an otter move, so when I created Dear Otter, I wanted her to have these majestic characteristics. I made her an oracle or an advisor to the whales. She's an older otter and doesn't have much to give other than sage advice, but she's happy to give it. I feel that even though she's in her twilight years, she's still radiant and beautiful.
