The Merfairies are a type of creature in the Barbie: Fairytopia series.
Overview[]
The Merfairies live in underwater houses in Mermaidia. However, they always go to the room above the water whenever they want to eat. They are also known to play all day with sea creatures.
According to Nori, the Merfairies know about Delphine, the legendary Oracle and where to find her. However, Merfaries hate to be serious and are mostly seen having fun. In order to pin them down for a rightful conversation, one has to try to get them to invite them for a snack, where they will answer one question. However, it is difficult because Merfairies almost never want to invite people over since they would rather be out in the water playing.
Elina manages to get the yellow Merfairy to invite her and Bibble over for a snack, and she in turn provides Elina the riddle of how to find Delphine and who she is.
Physical appearance[]
Their upper halves resembles that of a fairy, possessing fairy wings, whereas their lower halves are mermaid tails. All merfairies shown in the movie were children, so it is unknown what a mature one might look like. Their hair comes in vibrant colors that match their tails, such as yellow, blue, purple, and magenta. The merfairies all wear sparkling eyeshadow, bikini tops, and tutu-like skirts
Powers and abilities[]
Merfairies can fly like ordinary fairies at high speeds, and can swim as fast or faster than a fish the same way a mermaid can. They can breathe both air and water.
The Sea Butterfly is a bigger merfairy that Elina had met who had the ability to change her fish-tail into human legs. She used this to go find Elina in the Magic Meadow, to warn her that Prince Nalu was in danger. Furthermore, when the Sea Butterfly's tail reappears, she still retains her fairy wings in both forms.
Magic[]
The Merfairies' magical powers were never stated in the movie. However, the Yellow Merfairy possessed the ability to talk and understand Bibble, Elina's puffball. It is unknown if she could talk or understand other sea creatures, like the dolphin and the sea turtle also residing in Mermaidia.
