등장인물들

여성

Student and Adventurer

프로필

- Profile: Eliza Sutton, a 12-year-old student with an adventurous spirit, epitomizes the youthful curiosity and resilience found in the heart of New York City. Of diverse racial and cultural background, Eliza's tale is one of wonderment woven into the fabric of her daily life, reflecting the melting pot that is her home.

As she embarks on an unexpected quest to find Brooklyn, the mythical baby shark, Eliza's role transcends from an ordinary schoolgirl to an intrepid adventurer, navigating the complexities of friendships and the challenges of a bustling metropolis.

Marlon Scourge

남성

Ruthless Aquarium Collector

프로필

Marlon Scourge is the embodiment of what one might call a cartoonish villain, yet his presence in New York is anything but laughable. With an insatiable appetite for rare and exotic aquatic creatures, Marlon's life mission is dominated by his quest to possess Brooklyn, the legendary baby shark that swims in the fables and stories beloved by children across the city. His tactics, while outlandish and exaggerated, are underpinned by a certain evil genius, making him a baddie who's both despicable and dangerously intelligent.

Amidst the colorful yet desolate canvas of his vast aquarium empire, Marlon's demeanor is as cold and calculated as the glass tanks housing his collection. At 30, he has become a master of manipulation, using his wealth and influence to bend the will of those who dare cross his path. His pursuit of Brooklyn is not just a quest for another prized specimen; it represents the ultimate triumph over the innocence and purity the legendary baby shark symbolizes, a defiance against a world that once deemed him an outcast.

Yet, for all his caricature-like villainy, Marlon is not without complexities. His obsession with Brooklyn stems from a deep-seated yearning for a connection he's never experienced, a twisted version of friendship that he seeks through domination rather than genuine bond. It's this inner turmoil that makes Marlon Scourge a character of paradoxes—fearsome yet pitiable, formidable yet fundamentally broken.

In the bustling streets of New York, Marlon's dark designs set him on a collision course with a girl whose mundane life is about to be flung into the realms of the extraordinary. Her mission to find Brooklyn not only challenges Marlon's villainous claims but also unravels the threads of his meticulously curated persona, revealing the true cost of his desolation. In this tale of adventure and discovery, Marlon stands as a stark contrast to the essence of friendship and the unabashed innocence of the young girl, making him a character that, despite his many flaws, is as unforgettable as the mythical shark he seeks to capture.

Finley "Finn" Dorsal

남성

Adventurous Sea Scout

프로필

- Profile: Finley "Finn" Dorsal, a 12-year-old adventurous Sea Scout, finds unexpected excitement in the concrete jungle of New York. Of mixed heritage, with a Caribbean mother and a New Englander father, Finn's background instills in him a love for tales of the sea and exploration.

Initially an outlier in the bustling city, his occupation as a Sea Scout gives him a unique edge in the adventure. As the sidekick in the story, Finn brings knowledge of navigation, survival skills, and an unyielding sense of loyalty to the quest to find Brooklyn, the legendary baby shark.

His internal conflict revolves around a deep-set fear of not belonging—on land or at sea—while externally, he faces the challenge of navigating a city that is a stark contrast to the open seas he adores.

Finn's journey with the protagonist not only propels them towards the heart of the mystery but also teaches him the true definition of friendship, belonging, and courage in the face of the unknown.

줄거리 · Synopsis

줄거리

In the heart of New York's bustling streets, Eliza Sutton’s life is far from extraordinary. Each day blends into the next, marked by the monotonous rhythm of school and home in the vibrant yet overwhelming city. But Eliza harbors a secret desire for adventure, a yearning to break free from the confines of her everyday existence. This desire is kindled into a burning flame when she stumbles upon a mission unlike any other - to find Brooklyn, the mythical baby shark from her favorite childhood book. It’s a quest that promises not just excitement but also the discovery of true friendship.

Eliza's journey begins when she encounters Finn, a Sea Scout of mixed heritage with a deep love for maritime lore. Finn, grappling with his own feelings of displacement in the concrete jungle, finds in Eliza’s quest a chance for real adventure and a test of his scouting skills. Their partnership is one of mutual growth, as each learns from the other’s strengths and weaknesses. Together, they navigate the complexities of New York, a city that hides secrets and surprises in its many alleyways and underground networks.

As Eliza and Finn's search for Brooklyn deepens, they cross paths with Marlon Scourge, a formidable villain driven by a sinister desire to capture Brooklyn. Marlon's vast aquarium empire serves as a cold reminder of his wealth and influence, making him a dangerous adversary. His obsession with acquiring Brooklyn stems from a twisted notion of friendship, one that seeks to control rather than connect. This contrast sets up a stark dichotomy between the innocence of Eliza's quest and the dark, selfish motives of Marlon Scourge.

The heart of the story unfolds as Eliza and Finn uncover clues that lead them closer to Brooklyn. Each step forward is met with challenges, from decoding cryptic messages hidden in the urban landscape to evading Marlon's increasingly desperate attempts to thwart their mission. Amidst these obstacles, Eliza and Finn’s friendship blossoms, proving to be their greatest strength. Their journey is not just about finding Brooklyn but also about discovering the essence of companionship and the courage to stand up for what is right.

In a climactic confrontation, Eliza and Finn manage to locate Brooklyn, not in the depths of the ocean or ensnared within Marlon’s aquariums, but hidden in plain sight within the city's complex sewer system, a vibrant ecosystem thriving beneath the city's chaos. This discovery brings a profound realization: legends and friendships can be found in the most unexpected places, illuminating the wonders of the world around us.

The resolution sees Marlon Scourge confronting his own solitude and longing for genuine connections, challenging the very foundations of his previous actions. His confrontation with Eliza and Finn, and the legendary Brooklyn, serves as a turning point, revealing the hollowness of his pursuits and sparking a glimmer of hope for redemption.

Eliza’s quest to find Brooklyn ends not just with the discovery of the mythical shark but with a deeper understanding of friendship, belonging, and the bravery it takes to follow one's heart in a world that often seems too big to explore. She returns to her life in New York transformed, no longer a girl who dreams of adventure but one who has lived it, marking a new chapter in her life filled with possibilities. Through her eyes, the city is no longer a bustling metropolis but a place brimming with hidden stories and untold tales, waiting to be discovered by those daring enough to look.

세계관 · World

세계

1. Where/When:
The tale unfolds in the contemporary, ever-pulsating heart of New York City. It's a modern-day setting, characterized by its bustling streets, towering skyscrapers, and sprawling urban parks. The city serves as both a playground and a battleground for our young protagonist and her allies, offering a backdrop that is at once familiar and ripe for the extraordinary. New York's dense population and cultural diversity complement the story's themes of friendship, adventure, and the search for the mythical.

2. Important rules of the universe and how it impacts the story:
In this universe, the lines between myth and reality are blurred, allowing legendary creatures like Brooklyn the baby shark to exist in secrecy alongside unsuspecting human denizens. The city's vast and complex sewer system is a hidden world within itself, serving as a sanctuary for Brooklyn and a reflection of the city's unknown depths. This coexistence of the mythical with the mundane pushes our characters to look beyond their perceived reality, challenging them to discover wonders hidden in plain sight.
Another rule pertains to the dynamics of power and influence, as wielded by Marlon Scourge through his vast wealth and aquarium empire. In this world, such power can bend the will of others, but it cannot forge genuine connections or friendships, highlighting the story's core contention between selfish pursuits and the value of true companionship.

3. The visual description of the universe:
This universe is a visual juxtaposition of the gritty and the marvelous. The streets of New York are vibrant with life, adorned with an array of colors from neon signs and vast digital billboards. Skyscrapers reach towards the sky, casting long shadows that serve as the playground for our characters' adventure. Beneath this urban expanse lies the sewer system, a dark, damp, yet teeming network of tunnels that harbor an extraordinary secret, presenting a stark contrast to the city above.
Marlon Scourge's aquarium empire epitomizes the cold, calculated beauty of captivity. Glass tanks arranged in meticulous order, each housing rare and exotic aquatic creatures, gleaming under artificial lights, represent his dominion over the natural world, yet mirror his own isolation and disconnection from genuine human experiences.

4. Notable technologies or philosophies of the universe that impact the story:
The narrative doesn't explicitly highlight futuristic technologies but subtly incorporates elements like intricate security systems in Marlon's empire and advanced urban infrastructure, allowing for a believable coexistence of a mythical creature within a city. What's more prominent are the philosophies that guide the characters' journeys—namely the ideas of exploration, the significance of friendship, and the quest for belonging. These themes are woven through the characters' interactions and the challenges they face, driving the story forward.
Eliza and Finn rely on their wit, bravery, and a shared belief in the extraordinary to unravel the mysteries of their city. Meanwhile, Marlon’s philosophy of power and possession as means to fulfillment is challenged, unraveling the narrative that true joy comes not from control, but from connection and shared experiences. These contrasting philosophies enrich the universe, making the adventure not just a physical journey but also an exploration of deep-seated beliefs and personal growth.
