Hello everyone! I just thought I'd introduce myself. My name is Ophelia and I live in Richmond VA!

I've always been a mermaid inside of my soul, haha. I was always on swim and diving teams and studying underwater creatures and sea lore and always felt a real pull to water, yadda yadda yadda. I'm sure a lot of you know the story because I bet many of you felt the same way! Anyway, now I'm working on acquiring the tail to bring my inside out! (but not literally, that's gross)

Due to an illness and our being in debt (from said illness) I had to push buying my tail off for a bit, even though I'm planning on starting with a fabric one...but it's looking like I may be able to get one as soon as next month! Which makes me way too happy.

When I'm not doing crazy obsessive mermaid/ocean things, you can find me playing with my 2 squishy faced dogs and 2 cats, taking walks in the woods, playing with fire, eating, and doing other obsessive things like reading full true crime novels in an hour or watching 7 episodes of a tv show in a row. Or writing. I do like writing, too.


Well, I'm super pleased to meet all of you! It's always really wonderful to find like-minded individuals. Have a great day, everyone!

I appreciate the debt induced by illness thing, that's totally me too! But if I can do it, you can do it! sometimes you just gotta start small and work your way up. Best of luck and welcome to the forum

totally, totally.
not being able to work regular hours (or at all), AND the meds eating all your savings...fun times.

I hope to get better though, mermaiding helped me with that and maybe it will do something for you too! :)

@caltuna I'm hoping so as well! I'm glad you found something that makes you feel good. That white tail in your avatar is striking, by the way. Very cool!

Thank you, everyone!

Aw thanks!
Sometimes, when seeing all those colourful tails others come up with, I get this "I need a less monochromatic tail too!"- thought, but it usually quickly disappears as I realize I like white best ;)

Curious to see what your tail will be like!
