Physical Appearance
Mermands and mermen are beautiful creatures with the heads and torsos of handsome men and pretty women with tails of fish. Like fairies, mermaids range widely in color and they can have hair colors a human would not have, like Nori's blue hair. They have endless types of tails with sparkling scales that are brightly and colored, with ornate and detailed patterns like flowers and spirals adorning their scales.
Powers and Abilities
- Underwater Breathing: They can breath and stay underwater indefinetely and can breath air normally in the surface.
- Speed-Swimming: A mermaid's powerful and streamlined tail and huge flukes can propel them through the roughest waters with incredible speed, grace and agility.
- Shapeshifting: When a mermaid is completely dry, their tails transforms into human legs. However, as soon a only drop of water hits them, their tails grow again.
Trivia
- Interestingly, Delphine told Elina that if she doesn't surface when her magical pearl necklace became white again she will be a mermaid forever. That was a lie, as Elina's tail would transform into legs the same way if she dried up herself and she would became a merfairy, not losing her mermaid tail when wet.
