me tearing my hair out about wangxian selkie aus cuz CRANE MAIDEN MYTH EXISTS IN CHINESE MYTHOLOGY!!!!!!!
celestial fairy comes down to earth and sheds her feather cloak and becomes a beautiful woman, she and her sisters bathe in a river and a man peeks at them, he steals one cloak and all the fairies scatter except for one. She is forced to marry him and they have babies. her child later tells her where the man is hiding her robe, she takes it and flies away, later she comes back with new cloaks for her children and they all leave. the end.
ITS BASICALLY THE SAME AS SELKIES BUT YKNOW ACTUALLY ACCURATE TO THE CULTURE
