So, here's a little rundown about me.

Hi, my name is Winda. I'm a sixteen year old girl in a family of ten, to simplify this means, nine children (myself included) and my mother, who brought us all up on her, I will be honest there were some men over the years.

My family moves around a lot, not easy for us to fit in, recently Mum decided to move us, all the way across the city, because of a job offer. My Mum works full-time as a trauma surgeon, yes, she managed nine children and med school.

You are probably wondering where our father is?, While mum is bringing up nine kids on her own. Well, mum says he was a sperm donor. Yeah, a sperm donor she met early in life?. Decided she wanted kids via sperm donor before hitting her twenties, because she knew she'd never meet anyone?. Yeah, I call her bull on that too.

The eldest of us is Hunter and Kimberly, they are seventeen. They are twins, they started school a year early, so Mum wouldn't be so stressed with her school and work.

Hunter is starting his first year at Rosemary University, majoring in Law, his dream is to become a Judge before he turns forty.

While Kimberly, she works full-time at a spa getaway called 'Euphoria Getaway'. So when you think of a spa, think of a secluded place, surrounded by nature, what you can get done there and do there, is truly a dream.

They do hair, nails, massages, facials, body wraps, and tanning. And there is even a jetted spa bath which is more than rumoured to have healing powers to the effects of ageing. It is a place where you'll find a majority of Rosemary's housewives.

The spa opens at five in the morning and closes at six at night. Yes, people actually go to the spa at five in the morning, you'd be surprised. And they have an all you can healthy buffet which is open while the spa is open, the spa is closed on Tuesdays. No exceptions.

Back to me, I am sixteen and the third eldest in my family. In this crazy town, being a being of mortal-knowledge myth is common. My mum is a hybrid. She is half Leprechaun half Mermaid, her Dad was a Leprechaun and her father a Mermaid. Hunter and Kimberly both have werewolf and merperson genes. It's common to get both of your parents' genes.

Also wolf genes are pretty strong, and heads up, all of my siblings, including myself, we're all merpeople, as while our mother was pregnant with us, she was in her mermaid form, for a majority of her pregnancy or while giving birth.

Me, I'm a tribrid, rare. But hey, I'm the protagonist, I'm special. I got all of my parents genes, I'm a Wolf, Mermaid and a Leprechaun. I never told my mother, rare for me to get her alone in such a busy household, I've known since I was young. Pretty darn young, as each phase of me came in at different times and not all at once.

Thank god.

Now to my hobbies, playing or learning any kind of string instrument. I also enjoy dancing ballet and doing gymnastics. As we grew up in an area with a gym with a youth discount. I am also a computer whiz and bookworm. I love journalism. And my competitive field is the academic decathlon, my dream future career is to become an Architect.

Now, I will begin telling you about my younger siblings, this'll take a while as I have six younger siblings. Think of this as speed dating, but getting to know my family are a super fast pace.

Yeah, we all apparently came from 'sperm donors', I don't believe it, but Mum gives us silent treatment or completely changes the subject when any of us bring it up.

Justin, he's fourteen, literally just turned fourteen as we came out of hibernation. Wow I just keep bouncing back and forth from topics, forgot to mention. Hibernation, merpeople spend six months of the year in water. Most commonly May to November, mostly because of the weather. Been like this since we were born, not easy to find a body of water that is big enough but not dangerous.

Back to my brother. He's the artist of the family, he loves all kinds of crafts. He also loves video games, video games are much beloved in my family, guess you could say they raised us, mum just gave us video games to keep us preoccupied.

And it became a somewhat family hobby. He also enjoys competitive swimming, he is not a werewolf, but he is a merman.

Scott, he's thirteen. If my mum sticks to her story. My mum had a 'sperm injection' just three months after Justin was born. Scott also enjoys video games and swimming. But he also loves ballet and gymnastics, and got that from me. As I took him to my classes. As I would babysit him a lot. Scott's future ambition is to become a cheerleader by the age of fifteen, and I will say this now, he is not gay.

He is not a werewolf, he is just a merman.

Rebecca, ten years old. She loves ballet, gymnastics. She has a very strong sense of fashion, and loves yoga. She encourages everything she does to the whole household. She is a werewolf and a mermaid, her future ambition so far is to be a fashion guru. (Influence/Model).

Landon, seven years old, you guessed it, video games and swimming, but he also loves hockey, having been on a team since he was five. And went on his first excursion to a park and there was a skating rink. And from that point after the teacher saw his potential and got him into training to in the future join a hockey team. Right now in a somewhat little league hockey team. He is a werewolf and a merman.

Little Anna, not Anastasia, mum thought it was too traditional. It's Anna with two N's not one. She is three years old, a little sass Queen and knows it, she is basically the baby of the family and believed to be the last child mum would have. She loves ballet and gymnastics, took her to my classes at a young age, and naturally learned to swim before she could even walk or talk.

And took up Ice skating after going to one of Landon's lessons after school, when I went to pick him up after school.

Now, for the real baby of the family, Isaac, he is literally just two months old, a fish out of water, as he was born during hibernation.

He won't even be a year old by the time we return to the water.
