Hello! I haven’t been on here in years and decided to come back and swim around.
My Name is Mermaid Odette. My character is named after the Odet river in France. I have been performing Since 2003? And a mermaid performer since 2009.


I am the mermaid character for Valley of the Moon, a historical fantasy theme park where I tell stories and interact with kids for public events and hired for private events. If you ever visit Tucson, let me know in advance and I can give you a tour!

I am the premier mermaid performer for the Return of the Mermaids. I have my 24ft pond and about 6ft seashell chair there then a lead the parade to the downtown beach for more festivities. I’m going to be doing a lot more this year and will keep local mers updated with help I need. This year I get a whole area just for me that will be my grotto and will be presenting my new show, Fantasea: Ocean Discovery
I also have a sponsor that I’m super excited about; Disney’s The Little Mermaid! (The Broadway showing at Tucson centennial) EEEEEEEEE!!!

Fantasea: Ocean Discovery is a show for kids to encourage STEM education and ocean conservation. The first show premiered at Phoenix Comicon 2017 and it went pretty well! The goal is to entertain and educate at the same time. So fun!
I rent out sets as well. One is the Atlantis set, my new Versailles pond and show, and the tank.


I do and have done a lot, but lets move on:






I make all my tails and props. I enjoy building and would like to sell soon. Maybe even just sell pre-molded tail pieces and you can buy and glue them together. I’m obsessed with making seashell chairs right now so sell those. Details on those later.


I am a mermaid of Entertainment. I like to entertain and this is a great unique way to do that. I love to entertain everyone including you! I hope I entertain you guys as well in any way I can.
I am very business oriented as well.
My motto is that
‘Its NEVER about you, its about the client and what they want out of your performance.” You are there to give them what they want from your performance. They expect you already have so and so, but you have to follow their guidelines and make sure they get what they paid for.”


When I meet you, and I want to meet you guys, I want it to be about FUN. I want to do meetups in character to help inspire and create real stories I can share with the kids later and even have a real face from the story that they can possibly see in photos from said meetup and then they may see you somewhere and tell you how Odette said you guys found treasures in Dragon Rock Falls! And maybe you can have one of those “treasures” with you to give them. Fun stuff like that. Lol

Not “how did you made your tail?’ or how you don’t like this girl or how want to “be #1” blah blah blah. I want to hear your stories and your passions and the things you love about your tail, favorite tricks, ideas we can try out together. I want pure creativity. I love it!
I also like being helpful, but only as far as im comfortable. Ill gladly help you with this, but sometimes wont say exactly how to do it, but ask you questions to help you figure out a solution of your own. You don’t learn to be good on your own from someone giving you all the answers. Btw, learning from experience is the best. Test all your ideas!

if you ever want to talk or hang, please do get ahold of me. Im most active on facebook and go by Odette sirene.
You can find me on Facebook, Tumblr, and Instagram. See what ive done. Like them with your mermaid profiles and ill like yours back when I get on the computer. ^-^

I want to gladly say welcome back the mernetwork. You are a legend from way back in the early days when I first started paying attention the community. Your growth within the field is just absolutely amazing.

Thank you. The journey wouldn't be worth it if there wasn't challenges. Those challenges it what makes it rewarding. Now you are a point where a person like me had to contain themselves from practically fangirling (I'm sure there a better word I can think of instead of this but you get the idea). Just continue being an inspiration to everyone and me. If you ever decide to do postcard autograph, let me know and I'll hang it on my wall (it was worth asking).

Thank you so much. :D Sorry I haven't been on all day. As soon as I left work, one of my customer I help with on his computer brought me to the spring to go mermaiding and take pictures. I just got home not to long ago. I sent the DM via instagram. Thank you again :)

I look forward to hearing more about your experience. I agree people should be more into the story's not just focused on how the tale was made. I would love to know how you got started at the theme park? I'm getting ready to go pro.

connections. I have a whole spiel about it. You make connections and you work them professionally. I was lucky and have been performing for them for years before I started the mermaid thing. lol
