Personal history
Sammy began his life as a seal raised from birth by Elise Madrigale in the Mercian Zoo, he was born to two show-seals named Tamara and Tico by the zoo staff. Sammy was raised amongst the exhibit but from a very young age showed 'a great deal of promise' as noted by Elise in her biography. Elise took it on herself to spend more time working exclusively with Sammy, and eventually raised him enough that his shows would sell out and earned the zoo alot of money. Seeing this, Elise decided to attempt touring with Sammy in the name of getting more eyes and raising more awareness of conservation and the efforts that the zoo was taking to help the cause. However, the two quickly would see great backlash as many thought the idea appeared distasteful and would more likely convince people to keep seals as pets, which was illegal in the Kingdom of Meria. This caused a bit of catch-22 for Elise, as her love and her life's calling was to tour and get the name of the zoo and it's ideals out there, but she didn't want people to get the wrong idea. Elise decided to ignore the controversy, and instead appear on Merfolk Mystery Talents, a show about showcasing weird and unusual talents of merfolk, however this only exasperated the ire towards Elise and Sammy and while they did gain a decent following and group of fans they also ignited a bigger, worse level of hate and distrust towards the pair.
