Dee_Fyler: Working as a bartender in 1990s Las Vegas at the casino resort "Atlantis", Dee discovers that one of the performing mermaid girls isn't an act at all but an actual, real mermaid being held against her will by the mafiosos that fund the place. A plan has been hatched to break her out... but it will be dangerous!

---

Merlen: Currently Carmen and Merlen are exploring the fae realm from which she came from in order to find answers about her weakness to the moon's cycles. So far they have barely escaped some dryads before making camp on the far side of a crystaline water lake...

---

Merlene: Having taken the young mergirl under her own tutelage, Carmen has trained Merlene to be a siren in her own right, causing her to find new confidence and strength in herself! Carmen couldn't be prouder of her!~

---

Saika_Briarknot: A cute little druid with a lot of love fell head over heels for Carmen the first he laid eyes on her and now reveres her as a goddess. She doesn't agree with the assessment, but lets Saika believe what he wants so long as it makes him happy~

---

Alyssa_Roman: This darling if airheaded mage fell head over heels for the mermaid after a sensual encounter on the water resulted in her spending an entire week inside the soft pleasurable insides of Carmen! Now she can hardly keep away from her!~

Abyssal_Matriarch: Her actions having been observed from afar by the Queen of the Endless Depths, Azshara, Carmen has found herself a guest of honor within her palace, but the Queen's adoration for the mermaid may prove to be a fatal attraction she can not escape from...

Kingserpent_Nagraj: Carmen unfortunately attracted the attention of this massive naga while attempting to quietly make her way down a creek. Paralyzed with fear, she gave herself to him as a mate to save her life, but has now been claimed by him for the time being.

Joy_Fleck: This noble centauress happened upon Carmen trapped in a riverbed that had become too shallow for her to swim across. Fearing she would dry out and perish, Carmen is allowing her to transport her to the nearest body of water... the catch is, its being done inside her belly!

Mermaid Fae:

Mermaids do not "live" in the material world. No fairy creature does, from elves to gnomes and everything in between. They belong to the fae realm, which has had many names in human histories across many cultures: Fairyland, Elf-hame, Alfheimr just to name a few. It is the world where magic and spirits live, a parallel coexistance of the human's material world. For every tree, rock, and body of water there exists fae creature counterparts. These fae can freely move between their world and others during certain circumstances such as solstices, and thus the origins of folklore are made known.

Carmen Herself:

Carmen is a particularly special mermaid in her own way. As there are many ideas of mermaids in human myth, so too are there mermaids in the fae realm to represent them. Carmen is simply one of the oldest in existance, though she wouldn't be able to tell you that. In practical terms she is probably around 3000 years old in human time, and may even be the ancient Syrian goddess Atargatis, the first recorded mermaid in human history... though that is unlikely.

How is it she has lived so long? While her body may be flesh and blood as anything else in the human world, being a fae means Carmen has no soul - that is to say, she has no life after death, because Carmen can not truly die. Fae being as they are, exist as long as their legends continue. They are reflections of the world that their own mirrors, and so death is never truly the end for Carmen. Should her flesh fail, it will be reincarnated in an instant where the spiritual and material worlds touch.

Among the mermaids, Carmen is among the most magically attuned. Besides her exotic, otherworldly looks, she has a supernatural allure to her that others can not help but find themselves drawn towards. Her voice is melodic and mesmerizing, and should she sing she can outright control the wills of others if she so chooses. Her skin is always fair, her hair always soft. Her scales both soft and hard, protecting her body without compromising her tender touch. Her fins are iridescent, sparkling and refracting light like a rainbow. Her eyes shine like amesthyst stones, and both they and her fins have some degree of bioluminessence. Her kisses can bestow water breathing to the recepient.

Unusual Mysteries:

Then there are the things which even mermaids do not understand. Lunar cycles cause Carmen to act unusually: full moons tend to see her become more... feral and possessive, while new moons she becomes more timid and submissive (this is not always consistant though!). There is also the Perfume of Ambergris, which mermaids find irresisitible. When used on her, it can make Carmen suspect to being controlled! Being sexually active as she is, Carmen often breeds hybrid children; however they will always gestate inside of her belly as eggs before being birthed. The nature of their hybridization seems random as well. On account of her beng a mermaid, Carmen always breeds in large clutches of offspring, but rarely raises them herself. Her tears, when produced under intense feelings of joy or despair, can crystalize into valuable enchanted pearls which have a number of alchemical applications such as immortality, beauty, and love.
