Arna

Salveo! I am Arna and its wonderful to meet you all. I hail from a time long before you. While I used to spend my days in the Tiber River watching humans grow and change. I've witnessed language change from Latin to what it is now. While humans have changed, I try to keep to my ancient roots but also love to observe  and learn the new ways of humans. Memento vivere!

Helena the Mermaid

Helena the mermaid isn't like the other mermaids, she was once human. Helena as a human had Charcot Marie Tooth, and had a very difficult time walking. Because of this, she needed a wheelchair. One day, Helena was on a pier next to the beach, watching the other people play and swim, when a beautiful seawitch rose from the water and turned Helena into a mermaid. After a few years living amongst the mermaids and learning their magic, she returned to land in the hope of spreading some mermaid joy to the other disabled humans. She has the ability to transform into a mermaid at will, but still needs the wheelchair when she's in her human form. 

Blue Dragon Mer

Sealeigh, also as known as;"The Blue Dragon Mer" has swam to Ocean City from her home in the Indian Ocean.  She enjoys seaing the tourists that migrate to the island and especially loves interacting with the small humans.  She hopes to help them understand the beauty of the ocean and how to care for it so that her merfriends and the sealife around her stay happy and healthy.
