Melusine is able to become human by taking of her scaly skin, while she can also regain her true form by putting it back.Legends say that if a human finds her skin and hides it from her, preventing Melusine from finding it, she is in his power and she is forced to become his wife and bear his children.

People use to say that Melusine, if caught, would make an excellent wife, but she would never be truly happy on the land, because her true home is somewhere in the water.

So, considering those stories that circulate among mortals, there is no surprise that Melusine almost never takes her human form.Even so, she is fascinated by humans and many voyagers claim that they have seen her somewhere deep into the woods, close to a stream of water.But the rest of the story remains unknown.Some of them recount that they came close to her, attracted by her charming voice, some say that she comes to them, but all of them admit that they can't truly remember too much about the encounter.

Melusine is a figure of European legends and folklore, a feminine spirit of fresh waters in sacred springs and rivers.While some informations I used here can be found in her legends, I also combined her story with the one about Selkies, adding some personal ideas.
