''[[The Depths]]'' is a [[furry]]-based [[web comic]] illustrated by [[A Blue Deer]], and written by [[Leilani Perriere]].

The concept began in 2009, when Leilani began writing [[erotic]] [[stories]] for her [[sea otter]] character. 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 A Blue Deer'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 [[Belfry WebComics List]]. It has received rave reviews for its writing and illustrations, and recently earned further distinction from Top WebComics, ranking among the Top 300 web comics in the world.

==Plot==
Based in the 1920s through the 1940s of an alternate [[Wikipedia:Earth|Earth]], the web comic follows a sea otter named Leilani Perriere, and her adventures above and below the [[Wikipedia:South Pacific|South Pacific]] as she courts romance, danger, and epic adventure.

===Prologue (Page 1 through Page 9)===
Underwater, Leilani performs a blowjob on Thierry. After some playful banter, they return to the shores of Tahiti and to their hut. During sex, she reveals that it is 1938 and that the war consumes the world. After telling him that she does love him, she recalls her first lover, David.

===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 snuck away to go swimming with her friends and explore a ship. David, a ship hand, let go of one of the nets, inadvertently dragging him down into the water. Leilani managed to save him with her dagger and providing air. 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 to report on his story. Before he leaves, she shows him a secret under the sea.

{{spoiler}}
'''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.
