Meroune_Lorelei

Meroune Lorelei, or Mero for short, is a mermaid bound to a wheelchair. Her full name is Meroune Lorelei Du Neptune

Meroune is an attractive, well-endowed young woman with long pink hair, blue eyes and fin-like ears. As a Mermaid, rather than legs she has a pink fish-tail with pelvic fins. To allow her to survive underwater, she has gills on the side of her torso and and webbed hands.

When outside, She usually wears a maid's outfit, with her barrette having seashell designs on both sides. Her tail is usually covered with her dress. However, when in private company or in the water, she merely wears a bikini.

Mero has a very warm and friendly personality and is always very polite. Due to her mannerisms, it is believed she might be of noble or royal lineage.

As a young girl she had a fascination with the "tragic love" story of Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid, and wants to experience it in real life, even up the point of turning into sea foam.

She loves to be a victim of tragedy in general, whether it's unrequited love, her lover dying, or herself dying and leaving her lover behind.

It is implied that she is a masochist, after eating some awful food, it brought to mind her fins painfully splitting apart into legs. Afterwards, she is seen collapsed on the floor smiling about it, despite foaming at the mouth.

Mermaid physiology:

Amphibious: As a mermaid, Meroune possesses gills on the side of her torso, which allow her to breathe water. However, if she breathes chlorinated water it can be dangerous for her health. As long as her gills remain moist (which is easy because of her slimy skin) she can breathe on land.

Expert swimmer: Because of her fish tail and webbed hands, Mero is naturally an adept swimmer. Her tail is strong enough that it can propel her several meters out of the water. She can swim at a speed of 50km/h.

Water sensing: Mero is somehow capable of sensing water from great distances, and quite possibly the water inside living creatures as well.

Slimy skin: Her body naturally secretes a slimy substance to keep her skin moist. Because of this, she has to wear special clothing that doesn't easily slide off.

Cold resistance: Because Mermaids' natural homes at the bottom of the ocean are very cold, Meroune is resistant against cold temperatures.

Marine Life Knowledge: She is also very knowledgeable about marine life.

Healing Remedies: It seems that Mermaids have many herbs that can cure sicknesses, one being to bathe in a pool laced with medicinal herbs. That is said to cure any sickness if one soaks long enough in it.

Royal Aura: Because of her upbringing Mero has a regal demeanor. This includes the use of a highly formal way of speaking to people and very dignified behavior. When she wants to she can play up her more refined mannerisms to make others feel like they are speaking to royalty. She finds this to be particullarly effective against species, like centaurs, who have a historical reverence towards nobility, and individuals who work with marine life, such as fishmongers and aquarium workers.
