"One hero comes from the depths,
On land, she takes her first steps.
Passion bids her to Adventure,
But to Darkness, she did indenture..."
Name: Ariel
Appearance:
Stats and abilitiesPersonality: Ariel is a bright, spirited and headstrong mermaid with a strong passion for adventure and exploration. She has a fascination with the human world, and a desire to learn more about them and their culture. Ariel is extremely compassionate and loving towards almost all living things, and prefers to see the good in people. This trait often leads her to being taken advantage of by those who’s intentions are not so good. At times she can be stubborn about her beliefs, and impulsive in achieving her desires. She is a romantic, willing to make daring sacrifices for the sake of true love. She even has a temper, though it’s nowhere near as bad as her father’s.
Backstory: Ariel is the youngest of the seven daughters of king Triton, ruler of the ocean. She was always her father’s favorite daughter, because she looked so much like her mother. She led a privileged life with her family, until her mother was killed by pirates. The family was never the same after that. king Triton has a hatred of humans. Triton forbid merpeople from having any contact with humans. For a bit, Ariel was as scared of humans as her father was. That changed when she saw a group of humans saving a dolphin that washed up on the beach. After that, she learned that not all humans were bad, and she became fascinated with humans and the human world. She would explore shipwrecks and gather treasures from the human world to keep in her grotto.
Her going out to find treasures has caused her to miss out on events and her duties as a princess. This earned her the ire of her father, and the ridicule of other merfolk, including her own sisters. Her only friends were a fish named Flounder, and Scuttle the seagull.
One day, she saw flashing lights in the sky, and went to the surface to explore. That was when she saw a human ship with humans on board up close. She also saw a handsome prince named Eric. But before she could learn more, a storm came and destroyed the ship. Most of the humans escaped, but the prince fell overboard trying to save his dog. Ariel rescued the prince, brought him ashore, and sang to him. She escaped before she was spotted.
Ever since she has fallen in love with the prince, and is more determined than ever to explore the human world. Unfortunately, her plans were briefly disrupted when her father found out about her collection of human treasures, and the fact that she broke the rules about going to surface, and interacting with a human! An argument erupted which resulted in King Triton destroying Ariel’s treasures. The young mermaid was distraught.
Ariel soon got in contact with Ursula, the Sea Witch. Ursula took advantage of Ariel’ s vulnerable state, and the two struck a deal. Ursula would give Ariel a pair of legs. This time, instead of trading her voice, Ariel agrees to do Ursula favors on land at a later date. Ariel wears a replica of Ursula’s shell necklace as a symbol of this pact.
She has taken up adventuring in order to find her prince, and learn more about the human world.
I wish I could be, part of that world
