===Prologue (Page 1 through Page 9)===
Leilani Perierre, a 30-something native South Pacific sea otter, enjoys an intimate encounter with her lover Thierry Savage, a black panther and a French detective with the Suerte, in the beautiful island of Tahiti. The year is 1938, and the world is at the brink of war. After making love and expressing their feelings for one another, Leilani recalls her first lover, David Perierre.
===Chapter One: Dark Reflections (Page 10 through Present)===
Back in 1922, Leilani was the daughter of Chieftain Sachem Ahomana in Bora Bora. She shows her collection of black oysters to her friends.
The chieftain always had her by her side during important meetings with foreigners. During one of these meetings, she sneaked away to go swimming with her friends and explore a ship. David, a ship hand, was immediately captivated by Leilani's beauty, slipped and fell into the sea. Leilani managed to save him. After a brief meet and greet on the ship, Leilani invites David and the others to the island.
A few days later, David tells Leilani that he must return back to New York City to report on his story, that he is a reporter writing a story on South Pacific trade. Before he leaves, she shows him a secret under the sea. During their perilous dive more than 40 fathoms below the sea, David panics at being this far underwater, and Leilani quickly comes to his aid, leading him to a secret undersea cave. Here, Leilani tells David about the loss of her mother. She then ask him to follow her again, as she has one other secret to show him, and she dives back down and out of the cave with her companion close behind.
After showing David her secret trove of black oysters on the ocean floor, the two make love heavily in the undersea cavern and then frolic for more fun in the depths. David professes her love for Leilani and asks her to come away with him back to New York City, to become his bride. But Leilani, struggling with her emotions and her ties to her father and tribe, refuses.
Back on shore, David tries to stop Leilani as she runs crying from the water, only to be stopped by Jamie. He tells David that after talking to Malana, knows about the black pearls Leilani is able to find, and wants her to find them for him and the operation he works for stateside. After a heated discussion, David relents, on the promise that the Night Wind, their vessel, leaves immediately and never returns.
==Cast==
'''Leilani''', daughter of a tribal chieftain in the South Pacific, is the main character of "The Depths", and acts as narrator for flashbacks to her numerous adventures of romance and danger.
'''David''', Leilani's main love interest in her retrospects, is a journalist from New York City. He falls for Leilani at first sight and wants nothing more than to be with her forever.
'''Malana''', beautiful but brash, is Leilani's foil. While she strives to maintain a shaky friendship with the other otter, her jealousy and envy get in the way.
'''Kalea''', Leilani's BFF. She sees her friendship with Leilani as a pleasure and a privilege. She is sweet and kind, and the peacemaker when Malana and Leilani are at odds.
'''Jamie''', the callous, manipulative antagonist and foil to David. His lust for the beautiful otters in this strange new world is only equaled by his lust for power and wealth.
'''Thierry''', a French detective of the Suerte in Marseilles. While his story is mostly unknown and he does not appear often, he is undoubtedly Leilani's new love, and hopes to make her life happy somehow.

Leilani Perierre, a 30-something native South Pacific sea otter, enjoys an intimate encounter with her lover Thierry Savage, a black panther and a French detective with the Suerte, in the beautiful island of Tahiti. The year is 1938, and the world is at the brink of war. After making love and expressing their feelings for one another, Leilani recalls her first lover, David Perierre.
===Chapter One: Dark Reflections (Page 10 through Present)===
Back in 1922, Leilani was the daughter of Chieftain Sachem Ahomana in Bora Bora. She shows her collection of black oysters to her friends.
The chieftain always had her by her side during important meetings with foreigners. During one of these meetings, she sneaked away to go swimming with her friends and explore a ship. David, a ship hand, was immediately captivated by Leilani's beauty, slipped and fell into the sea. Leilani managed to save him. After a brief meet and greet on the ship, Leilani invites David and the others to the island.
A few days later, David tells Leilani that he must return back to New York City to report on his story, that he is a reporter writing a story on South Pacific trade. Before he leaves, she shows him a secret under the sea. During their perilous dive more than 40 fathoms below the sea, David panics at being this far underwater, and Leilani quickly comes to his aid, leading him to a secret undersea cave. Here, Leilani tells David about the loss of her mother. She then ask him to follow her again, as she has one other secret to show him, and she dives back down and out of the cave with her companion close behind.
After showing David her secret trove of black oysters on the ocean floor, the two make love heavily in the undersea cavern and then frolic for more fun in the depths. David professes her love for Leilani and asks her to come away with him back to New York City, to become his bride. But Leilani, struggling with her emotions and her ties to her father and tribe, refuses.
Back on shore, David tries to stop Leilani as she runs crying from the water, only to be stopped by Jamie. He tells David that after talking to Malana, knows about the black pearls Leilani is able to find, and wants her to find them for him and the operation he works for stateside. After a heated discussion, David relents, on the promise that the Night Wind, their vessel, leaves immediately and never returns.
==Cast==
'''Leilani''', daughter of a tribal chieftain in the South Pacific, is the main character of "The Depths", and acts as narrator for flashbacks to her numerous adventures of romance and danger.
'''David''', Leilani's main love interest in her retrospects, is a journalist from New York City. He falls for Leilani at first sight and wants nothing more than to be with her forever.
'''Malana''', beautiful but brash, is Leilani's foil. While she strives to maintain a shaky friendship with the other otter, her jealousy and envy get in the way.
'''Kalea''', Leilani's BFF. She sees her friendship with Leilani as a pleasure and a privilege. She is sweet and kind, and the peacemaker when Malana and Leilani are at odds.
'''Jamie''', the callous, manipulative antagonist and foil to David. His lust for the beautiful otters in this strange new world is only equaled by his lust for power and wealth.
'''Thierry''', a French detective of the Suerte in Marseilles. While his story is mostly unknown and he does not appear often, he is undoubtedly Leilani's new love, and hopes to make her life happy somehow.

''[[http://dbcomics.darkblueworkshop.com/?last_webcomic=webcomic3 The Depths]]'' is an adults-only furry web comic illustrated by artists A Blue Deer and Kino Jaggernov, and written by Leilani Perriere, under a pseudonym.
The concept began in 2009, when Leilani began writing erotic stories for her sea otter character of the same name. With the help of artist A Blue Deer, whom she had been a fan of for many years, they decided to work together to create a web comic based on these stories. In the spring of 2017, ''The Depths'' was launched, and the two worked together via their Patreon, under the name of Dark Blue Comics - not just with ''The Depths'', but also ABlueDeer's other comics, Moonlace and Bethellium. At the end of 2017, a second artist, Kino Jaggernov, was added to the team to assist with coloring, inking, and special effects.
In April of 2018, ''The Depths'' pulled away from the Dark Blue Comics' Patreon, and a new Patreon was launched exclusively for The Depths web comic, in order to enable multiple rewards for supporters, and to bring more exposure and readership. Since then, The Depths has enjoyed successful readership, and has consistently ranked near the Top 100 most read web comics on the ''[[https://new.belfrycomics.net/view/mostread Belfry WebComics List]]''. It has received rave reviews for its writing and illustrations, and recently earned further distinction from ''[[http://topwebcomics.com/ Top WebComics]]'', ranking among the Top 30 web comics in the world.
==Plot==
Based in the 1920s through the 1940s of an alternate Earth, the web comic follows a sea otter named Leilani Perriere, and her adventures above and below the South Pacific as she courts romance, danger, and epic adventure.
