Vellamo

Vellamo is said to be tall and beautiful, and is much respected by fishermen, who pray to her for good fishing luck.

Sometimes, during the morning mist, she brings her cows above the surface to eat water hay.

Vellamo wears a blue dress that is made from sea foam.

The name "Vellamo" comes from the Finnish word velloa, which means 'to churn', describing the movement of water and waves.
