[Mermaid Holly]

Land name: Holly

Mername: Elsewhere

Species of Mermaid: Migrating North Pacific Mer

Personality: Independent, spunky, doesn't really like other people, headstrong, but really curious and genuine when you get to know her.

Story: Elsewhere was hatched a mermaid, and spent most her time swimming alone and exploring, but she easily grew bored of riding the same currents. According to the laws of her pod, a mer could leave for a specific period of time to achieve a specific goal. Elsewhere convinced the elders of her pod to grant her legs and allow her to spend a year on land, posing as a highschool exchange student in an effort to promote ocean conservation. Of course, she had no intention to do any of this. Her true plan was to simply explore the surface world, meet some humans, and do... whatever land people do. The only catch with all of this was she had to swim in her tail at least once every 24 hours, lest she dry out. Once she arrived on land, she discovered life isn't wasn't easy as she expected and for some reason, was really attractive to animals, which she hated. (So she's was always being followed around by a crowd of cats, dogs, and other small mammals XD.) Eventually the elders found out she's not doing her assignment and send some soldiers after her...
(That's all I have so far. At some point she falls in love with a land guy in a very Tsundere way, but I have yet to work that out.)

Tail color: Dark blue

Eye color: Violet

Hair color: Dark brown and wavy with teal streaks. As a mer, it's all the way down her back, but upon her arrival to land, she crops it short and spiky.

Fav Mer Accessory: An enchanted pink shell necklace given to get by her best friend before Elsewhere departed from the pod.

What my mer self can't leave without: Probably her coral knife, lest she encounter any fisherman's nets.

What my human self can't leave without: Her blue hoodie.

Should I change it to make it more mer-esque? Jamie doesn't really sound like a mer name, so maybe I should choose something that is related to the sea. I just used my land nickname, because I'm not too big of a fan of my real name, James.

Up to you it's your Mersona. If your having trouble look up on the internet to get your mername and find one that you like if it's hard to come up with a name. And the story can be anything too the one I did I made up on the spot and didn't plan it because it came from the heart. Find something that matches your personality! The toughest things is Making a story for your Mersona. The best thing to do is to type what comes to mind!

I'm still actually coming up with my mersona too. I certainly don't have a story or even a mer name yet lol.

[gay-mermaid]

Land name: Miki


Mername: Memory


Pronouns: they/them


Species of mermaid: Minor Goddess, bringer of calm waters and protector of wayward sailors


Story: Memory was born of Poseidon, the God of the Sea, and Brizo, the Goddess of sailors, they were always fascinated by humans! They spent a lot of time swimming alongside pirate ships, collecting coins and treasure that fell overboard, and getting dreamy-eyed over many of the pirate women… they provided protection to those who flee from unfair prosecution to the sea, although it doesn't happen very much anymore. Nowadays they spend their time trying to chat up pretty immortal girls and sunbathing!


Tail color: teal and gold


Eye color: blue


Hair: teal


Fave Mer accessory: top that matches my tail!


What my human self can't leave without: sketchbook and at least two knives…


What my mer self can't leave without: my crown and a few pirate coins

[Talvikko]

Mername: Talvikko, which means ”Overwinterer” in meänkieli.

Pronouns: He/they

Species: Arctic open water/deep sea mer (heavily inspired by the ”Mermaids” mockumentary)

Story: Talvikko was born into an isolated pod in the Barents sea, near the Kola peninsula. His pod roams the open sea during summer and draws closer to shore during winter, favouring rocky and remote areas and always staying well away from humans. After getting rammed by a fishing boat and breaking several ribs, Talvikko was unable to keep up with the pod and decided to leave rather than slowing them down. The ribs healed badly, rendering him unable to dive deep; alone as he was, he had to swim closer to the mainland than ever before in hopes of finding easier prey and to avoid killer whales and fishing nets. These days he's a mer of the shallows in northern Norway, hunting flounders and guiding lost whales back to the deeps.

Talvikko is a feral mer who doesn't speak and rarely ventures up on land. Other merfolk are treated as equals and when they speak he understands them, but humans are aliens in his eyes and he's not so much ”shy” as ”hostile until convinced otherwise”. He has lost some of his fear of them after spending years near populated shores and can on rare occasions be friendly and playful, but most of the time he prefers to keep his distance.

Tail colour and shape: Various hues of grey (dark back, light belly) with darker and lighter spots along the sides. His upper body and face has the same colours as the tail, his hands are webbed with short, sharp claws instead of nails and his ears are closed and pointy. He also has an intricate pattern of stripes and spots on his face, back and tail that is invisible in daylight but glows in the dark. Porpoise-like fluke and small dorsal fin, both with glow-in-the-dark edges.

Eye colour: Black with a thin line of blue around the pupils.

Hair: Thin brown dreads with rockweed tangled into them.

Fav mer accessory: Macramé belt with blue mussel shells and rockweed decorations.

[Mermaid Keto]

Land name: Elizabeth.

Mername: Keto.

Species of mer: Deep Sea Mermaid (tend to stay alone but open up once you get to know them, stay around 100ft to 300ft, have dark tail colors, light skin, eat anything, sleeps in caves/caverns).

Story: Keto never really knew she was a mermaid, even though she was always swimming. When she was eight, her mother got her a monofin which she fell in love with. Ever since that day she knew. She has tried to connect with herself for many years, and with each passing year, does. Now Keto knows what type of mer she is and much more. Keto really just wants to learn as much as she can and swim the day away!

Tail color: right now - blue, in the future - black with highlights of green/blue/purple.

Eye color: golden brown.

Hair color: brown with faint red highlights.

Favorite mer accessory: pears.

What my human self can't leave without: earbuds and music player.

What my mermaid self can't leave without: dagger.

[AbbyOfGailous]

Land name- Abigail

Mer name- Abby (doesn't like making things complicated)

Species of Mermaid- Selkie; although not always considered a mermaid some translations refer to them as sea or "mer" people.

Story- Growing up, she was always fascinated with watching and interacting with the local harbor seals, often preferring their company over human kind. Growing up near the water, she was always prone to swimming whenever possible, finding solace in the water moreso than on land. After learning of the mer community, she finally found a place she feels she could belong truly. When seeing all the beautiful tails out there, she was a little intimidated by all the pretty colors out there so she searched and searched, trying to find her own mer-identity. Something she could call her own and be proud of. Then she remembered all the time she spent as a child, playing with the seals on the docs and she realised, that was what felt right to her. It felt like her.

Tail color- dark brown

Eyes- vary between deep blue with hints of brown to pitch black.

Hair- Dirty blonde and short

Favorite mer accessory- her Irish marble necklace from her human husband.

What human self can't leave without- her comb (what little hair she keeps on her head is often stubborn and it feels good to use)

What her mer-self can't leave without- her only (and favorite) mer accessory.
