It’s been awhile since I’ve been on Mernetwork, and I figured it would be great to re-introduce myself with my mersona that I’ve put together.

My mersona, Marina Bulanon is a half-mermaid, half-human Filipina. Her tail design is something that I hope to be made into an actual tail one day.

I also made a mood board that I posted on Instagram, you guys should follow me (@introverting)! I used a Merbella tail to represent Marina’s tail for now, as it is the closest looking to hers.

In the Philippines, “sirenas” were known to be guardians that protected the waters from Visayan tattooed raiders. It was believed that in the full moon or in the Dayaw or Kadayawan, one of the embodiments of the moon who is Bulan descended from the heavens to swim with the mermaids and that the mermaids protected the boy moon from sea monsters. Dugongs, sea turtles, and small cetaceans such as dolphins usually accompany the Sirena.
I really wanted to create an oc that was Pinay, since I don’t see a lot of Filipino oc’s out there. I also wanted to incorporate a part of my culture into it too :) Tell me what y’all think!!
