"Im a marine mammal type of mermaid, like whales and dolphins, but unlike them I dont eat fish. my family was raised on crustaceans like Crabs, Lobsters and shrimps, sometimes we have to dive deep for them. Out in the ocean every mermaid and merman is different, some are fish eating mermaids and I know a few who love having a nice helping of kelp salad, with some special scallops on the side"

hope that helps

Lanai that's an awesome answer. I say I'm a half blood (moms a human, dad's a merman, which then also accounts for my ability to sometimes have legs) and I eat non-talking fish (cuz eating Flounder would be a bad call with a certain red head and her followers), and seaweed, and lobster, and occasionally human food. I say that sometimes freshwater mers eat rice and cranberries. It varies.

Kids seem to really like it when I tell them that sometimes mermaids appear on the beach to get ice cream.

No problem my dear :) Kids are quite big into questioning everything, I took a few improve classes and it was the best thing ever, i learned alot and how to distract and direct kids from certain questions, as well as always have an answer for them :D. definitely write in your mersona, and take from it, so if kids as where youre from and do you know other mermaids etc,

Things I was asked: (I keep a journal)
"What do you eat?"
"Fruit Snacks and Sushi! I love to eat squid!"
"Is it hard to walk in that?"
"Well, seeing as I don't have legs, yes!"
"Why is your tail wet?"
"Mermaids cant dry out or we get Really bad sunburns!"
"Are you real?"
"I sure hope so!"
