Hello! I'm Fe from the North Island of New Zealand! While Fe is my mer name I also go by Andy or Abby. Feel free to call me by any of those names.
I'm usually a very shy person, so I may or may not end up lurking most of the time, but I'll try my best to take part in at least a few things!
When I was young I was a real water baby, quick to jump in and hard to drag out, with a love for fantasy that's still going strong today. Of course the idea of mermaids was wonderful to me and they managed to easily secure a place in my heart alongside dragons, fae, and a whole host of other amazing creatures. Unfortunately, around five years ago, for no real reason that I can think of, I started becoming more and more reluctant to get into the water. It even got to the point where I'd only swim a few times in the whole year instead of several times in a single week. But in the past few months I've been really wanting to swim again and I've begun to rekindle my love of being underwater.
I discovered mermaiding because of a thought I had while swimming. I wanted to relive a bit of my childhood love for mers when I had a thought that someone, somewhere, must have discovered a more efficient, beautiful way of swimming like a mermaid than simply using your legs. So I scoured the internet, found my answer, and here I am.
I haven't got my fins yet, but hopefully they'll arrive soon!
