Character: Poppy

Poppy is a quintessential teen city girl and social media influencer, more enamoured with technology than tradition. Her sleek smartphone is practically an extension of her arm, constantly capturing and sharing every moment of her life with her devoted online following.

Growing up in a life of privilege, Poppy is accustomed to getting what she wants without much effort. She often relies on her uncle, Captain Barlow, to bail her out of difficult situations, usually financial. Her laziness is evident in her reluctance to engage with anything that requires hard work or genuine effort.

When faced with the obligatory pathway that city children must choose, Poppy reluctantly decides to join the ‘Beyond the Perimeter’ programme. This initiative offers a glimpse into life outside her urban bubble—a prospect that initially excites her due to its potential for unique content creation.

Poppy’s adventure takes a dramatic turn when a sea serpent attacks her uncle’s ship during their journey. Instead of feeling fear or concern for her uncle’s safety, her first instinct is to whip out her phone and document the chaos for her followers. The sensational footage goes viral, catapaulting her popularity to new heights. However, as doubts arise among her viewers about the authenticity of her experience—questioning if it was staged or exaggerated—Poppy becomes increasingly anxious about maintaining her image.

About

"A sea serpent in the form of a human hermit is exiled to an island somewhere in the Celtic Sea while mermaids mysteriously, yet ruthlessly, hunt him down.

Despite finding sanctuary within the wilds, a new ship's arrival brings a great threat from beyond the horizon and Teague may be forced to come out of hiding for the sake of protecting his new home."
