Mermaids (マーメイド Māmeido) are half-human, half-fish creatures that live under the sea.

Species Characteristics[]

Mermaids are legendary aquatic creatures with the heads and torsos of human females and the tails of fish. They have lived in the seas for centuries. They are seen as equals by the Ancient emperor, Michel, since they also understand the importance of the Earth and both possess supernatural powers.

Almost all mermaids are shown to be a female-only species; however, there are a few mermen known to exist in the manga. All mermaids are born in a magical seashell within their Kingdom's castle. The Shell Thrones are where princesses born, until they're gaining the right age where they will sit on their throne once again to fulfill their duties. There are seven Mermaid Princesses representing each of the seven oceans. These Mermaid Princesses are the chosen people of Aqua Regina and they have the power to summon her when they combine their hearts and singing as one.

All mermaids are shown wearing Shell Lockets; however, Mermaid Princesses' shell lockets are shown to be slightly different compared to the rest. Mermaid Princesses' shell lockets have an extra set of "wings" attached on the side to represent their status, and they conceal a Pearl Tear in their lockets. The pearl tear is the source of the mermaids' beautiful singing voices and without them, many cannot hold a proper tune. The princess pearls possess extremely powerful magic and all seven can summon and command Aqua Regina.

Mermaids are often good beings but if a mermaid's heart were to suffer from a terrible loss or traumatic event, such as betrayal, they may become wicked like Sara. When a mermaid's heart darkens, her hair becomes black and her tail becomes a deep black covered in thick, sharp-edged scales.

The mermaids' male counterparts are called mermen. Nam is an example.

Appearance[]

Mermaids are very similar to humans from the middle of the body and up, although they always wear a brassiere and a shell locket. From the middle of the body and down they have a fish-tail. The hair and the tail color of them depends on, in which kingdom of mermaids they belong to.

Some mermaids wear different kinds of accessories around their body. For instance, one of the North Pacific mermaids with silver eyes and flowing gray hair was seen wearing a blue silk belt on her waist. In addition, Sara and Seira were seen wearing chokers in their Mermaid Forms.

The North Pacific Mermaids have different colored eyes and hair and the rest of their outfit is pink. They are the only mermaids whose hair and eye color do not match their tail color. Their tails have different shade of pink. Some are revealed to be brunettes. One with silver eyes and flowing gray hair wears a blue silk belt around her waist.

Most Mermaids' of the others kingdoms have different shades of color. The South Pacific Mermaids' have a shades of yellow, the South Atlantic Mermaids' have a shades of blue, and deep blue or indigo for the Arctic Mermaids. Same things for the Antarctic Mermaids' with the different shades of purple and the North Atlantic Mermaids' who have a different shades of green, even if some of them have different color for their hair but it's mostly green. The Princesses of the Indian Ocean have orange-colored hair and eyes and they wear different shades of orange mermaid outfits.

Rules[]

Mermaids are the rulers of the seven oceans. Within each of the seven oceans, the creatures living within them are ruled by a Mermaid Kingdom. The creatures of the sea love the mermaids and look up to them. The mermaids treat each other and their subjects with respect and kindness.

When a Mermaid Princess turns thirteen, she has a Coming of Age Ceremony and get dressed properly for the event, but if a mermaid does not have her Pearl Tear, she cannot have the ceremony until she gets it back.

A mermaid is not allowed to directly tell any human their true identities; otherwise, they will turn into bubbles. However, an exception to this is if the human finds out their identity on their own or by some other means. If this is the case, the mermaid would be spared from this horrible fate.

Kingdoms[]

Main Page: Mermaid Kingdoms

The mermaids around the sea, live in seven separate Kingdoms, in the North and South Pacific ocean, in the North and South Atlantic ocean, in the Arctic ocean, in the Antarctic ocean and lastly in the Indian ocean. Their castles are usually located within the center of their respective Kingdoms. In case of emergency, the seven Kingdoms will cooperate together.

The rulers and Mermaid Princess of each Kingdoms are:

  • Lucia, Mermaid Princess of the North Pacific ocean.
  • Coco, Mermaid Princess of the South Pacific ocean.
  • Rina, Mermaid Princess of the North Atlantic ocean.
  • Hanon, Mermaid Princess of the South Atlantic ocean.
  • Noel, Mermaid Princess of the Arctic ocean.
  • Caren, Mermaid Princess of the Antarctic ocean.
  • Sara followed later by Seira, Mermaid Princesses of the Indian ocean.

Communication methods[]

Sometimes, mermaids from a kingdom would need to deliver messages to mermaids in other kingdoms. To do so, they would have several sea creatures carry the messages, such as dolphins or whales. Each kingdom uses different sea creatures depending on their watery conditions. The following mermaids use the following creatures as messengers:

  • North Pacific Ocean Mermaids' messengers are dolphins.
  • North Atlantic Ocean Mermaids' messengers are whales.
  • Arctic Ocean Mermaids' messengers are orcas.
  • Antarctic Ocean Mermaids' messengers are penguins.

The others messengers remains unknown.

Powers[]

Main Page: Powers

Mermaid Princesses' voices are very beautiful and powerful. Their singing voices have usually caused some kind of discomforting effect on sea monsters and enemies, such as Sheshe and Mimi. They can turn into Pichi Pichi Voice with their Pearl Tear. The Shell Lockets concealing the pearls have no magic powers; it is the pearls that carry the mermaid princesses' sources of power.

All mermaids can breathe air and water, swim incredibly fast, and survive at depths no human could ever reach without being crushed by the extreme water pressure. Mermaids can also swim in the cold waters of the Antarctic without feeling the cold; however, they can still feel cold if the source of the cold temperatures are caused by enemies (such as Maria). Mermaids can also communicate with every aquatic animal regardless of if they are on land or underwater.

A mermaid can change her fish tail to assume human form and walk on land. However, if their shell tear gets wet while in human form, they will instantly change back into a mermaid. Despite this, a mermaid in human form is allowed to touch small amounts of water without changing back, as seen with Lucia in Episode 52 and Episode 16 of Pure, when the water only reached up to her feet. While in human form, a mermaid's hair color, eye color, and clothing changes to help them blend into the human world.

Mermaid Songs[]

Mermaid Princesses have a great variety of songs that are often used to defeat their enemies and maintain peace within their kingdoms. Some mermaid princesses can also sing for their own pleasure if they wish. As shown in episode 71, they can also use their songs to heal allies if deemed necessary.

These songs are:

Trivia[]

  • Each mermaid color corresponds to a day of the week.
  • As shown with Seira, it seems that if a Mermaid Princess dies, a new one will later be born to take her place.
  • Because Sara destroyed her Kingdom, where the Indian Ocean Mermaids used to live, it is likely that most of them died, and such, their population has been decreased significantly. Because of this they are the Mermaid race that has the least members, among the other mermaid races.
  • Sara and Seira are the only Mermaid Princesses not to be shown singing in their Idol form, as they only were seen singing in their Super Idol, Mermaid, or Human form.
  • The Morning Moon Music Box produces a frequency unique to South Atlantic Mermaids. In the manga, it can be used to find the location of any South Atlantic Mermaid in the world. In the anime, the frequency it creates can only be heard by South Atlantic Mermaids.
  • The North Pacific Ocean Palace was the last kingdom to be attacked by Gaito and his servants.
  • The Antarctic Ocean Castle is the only castle that was never attacked by Gaito.
