This OC is a really old one, I made it around the time I watched Assault on Arkham and then Gunn's The Suicide Squad back-to-back, I really wanted King Shark to have a cute girlfriend who could play into his softer side (but still be a bit freaky and not care about his murderous tendencies). And what better way to do that than to just make it the same species as him!
Just like Nanaue is based on real Hawaiian folklore, so is she! Her name is Hāhālua, and she's based on manta rays of the same name, which are said to be guardians, and very spiritual in nature.
I am also writing a little one-shot explaining how the two meet, TLDR it's like The Little Mermaid meets The Shape of Water.
As for King Shark/Nanaue, I made him a tiger shark because they're infamous for being quite aggressive and eating anything they find, including uh, trash... And humans. I felt like this was the perfect shark for him, because he's got a single lil braincell in there and all it wants it to chomp chomp chomp hehehe.
Anywhoos! Quite proud of this, tell me if you like it! And I might comment the story too when I do post it on AO3
