Merana Little

"I'm sketching, don't have time for that... I'm swimming, don't have time for that... I'm planning my funeral, don't have time for that.""

- You're busy alright

Merana Little  is a 2015-introduced and all-around character. She is a part of The Little Mermaid (the original tale) by Hans Christian Andersen and is a student at Ever After High.

 In the destiny conflict, she is a Rebel because she doesn't believe in love at first sight, which is how her story got started. She thinks the saying is extremely shallow, and does not enjoy her destiny, which is to cut off her tongue just so she can meet a prince who never met her. Furthermore, part of her tale is that her sisters sacrifice something just so she can speak, and even then, her heart will be broken. In fact, she is mostly a Rebel because of the fact that the original mermaid had made many bad decisions that hurt her family, and she didn't want to do that. Merana is the youngest sister of her family. Do NOT edit or else Merana will declare war on you!



Personality
Creative, she'll have you brainstorming in a second. Intelligent, facts go in and never some out. Loyal, defending family members with strong opinions is always a must. Hot-tempered, she'll lash out at anyone who damages her soul. Environmental, pollution is one of her arch enemies. Deep as the ocean where she lived, she is truly not shallow. Grudge-holding, it's almost impossible to plead forgiveness and get it. Wanting to fit in, she is quick to make friends, and a bit self-conscious about her fins. Stubborn, she refuses to back down for what she believes. Subtle and manipulating at times, yet blunt in some situations, you don't know what to expect from MerMer. Strangely calm in some situations, she could be the peacemaker, or peacebreaker.

At first glance, Merana is nothing more than a general "shopoholic" and "shallow" mermaid girl. But observe closely at her reactions to your actions. Introduce a new topic, someting that fascinates you, and she may surprise you with an intellectual comment. Bring the topic to art, and she could blab on and on about her techniques, preferences, and more. If you tend to annoy people, and insult her, prepare for the worst. Sometimes, she'll just study you for a sec like she's plotting revenge, and walks away. Then your shower explodes that night. So who is Merana really? You'll just have to decide for yourself. Merana is extremely creative. Her creativity came from her love of the sea, which inspired her to create fashions or paintings. Many of the people she work with in Arts and Crafts, Princess Design, or any group project say that Merana can draw meaning and depth from a rock, and draw it all out so that it is indescribable, and yet perfect. She disagrees, saying that anyone can do it, yet on the inside, she is jumping for joy. Her imagination can result in her daydreaming or forgetting to take notes in class because of drawing things, but nevertheless, Merana is always brimming cauldron-full full of ideas that if someone decided to plan out and take into action, it would flourish into a beautiful building block of Ever After.

Not only is her brain immensly creative, she is also quite intelligent, being able to maintain a well-above average grade while not paying attention in some classes.(cough cough princess cough ology cough cough cough) She is grateful that all her years of reading books about Ever After had paid off so well. She does spend hours in the library reading about other subjects, not because to study, but out of curiousity. She also has a wide knowledge of sea creatures, but that was mostly from spending so much time with them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">However, Merana has other qualities than just an imaginative and brilliant mind. Merana is also very loyal to her friends, family, and anyone who she thinks deserves it. Her loyalty is mostly developed through her childhood. Living in a family of 12 sisters means that there will constantly be problems and misadventures. There will be more than one suitor to chase away. In fact, she and her siblings have made a game out of it! She will do anything for her siblings, because from her childhood, she learned that the sea can be dangerous, and they all have to stick together. Of course, all 12 sisters have a hot temper, so when they get into a huge blame game/prank war/temper tantrum, it is called a Sinister Siren Storm and it would be best not to get in the way.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal">Mer is also a persistent naturalist. Pollution is the reason she left her home, after all. She insists on buying from farmer's markets and cooking her own food sometimes. She does do protests and and helps with petitions with Rosabella, but usually when she's not busy. She is eager to help Mother Nature in anyway she can, and possibly fix her home. Her soft side could lead to her crying about the horrible period in which she was sick with pollution.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Like her sisters, she does have a very short temper. She tries her best to let comments roll off her back but usually, her temper can end up with botched friendships and long-lasting grudges. She doesn't usually show she cares about this, but deep inside, she wished a friendship could've bloomed. Her temper flares with insults, and sometimes teeny-tiny problems to act dramatic over(this being with her sisters of course). Revenge is best served cold, but MerMer can find multiple ways to contradict that. Revenge is best served with mud, revenge is best served in a cup of your favorite drink, revenge is best served with barnacles all over your clothes, etc.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Whenever Merana gets angry, the area around her takes on a dark blue aura. Her vision turns blue and all she thinks about is retaliating. All morals are thrown aside, her "Fight or Fight Harder" instinct kicks in, and she takes on the anger of a wolf combined with a bear, tasmanian devil, lion, and colossal squid. She is more than dangerous at this stage, both verbally and physically. If you see this, you know that you are screwed and better start praying.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Her temper also leads her to be a little, insane. She's willing to snap a comment for the satisfaction of her rage. Usally, they could include an undertone of coldness under a layer of sugar-coated insults. The quite amazing thing is that she is able to hide her snarks so well, it takes a moment to process what she is saying. Once you get it, she might be moving on, but mostly likely, she'll just stare you down. She could also just sit there after you insult her, get up, witch-slap you, and sit down like she was talking about the weather.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal">Mer is also a little stubborn. By that, I mean A LOT stubborn. She refuses to let go of anything(see below) that has ever happened, UNLESS you are lucky. Or if she forgets, really. She really likes arguing and would join the Debate Club, if not for the fact she was busy as hell already. She also has very strong opinions for many things, which might come in handy in the sister catfights.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal">She does tend to hold grudges, and ususally long ones, mind you. It one of her fatal flaws, she can't bear to forgive and forget. Well not usually. She'll spare a few certain people like her closest friends, and her family. Be it an acccidental step on her toes or a spill-your-lunch-on-your-shirt shove, she probably won't forget it. This doesn't mean she'll turn the whole world against you, but it also doesn't mean you're free to go.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Finally, Merana is a bit self-conscious and care too much about what other people think of her. This is usually brushed away with a boost of confidence, but she still has a sad undertone of not fitting in. Sometimes, she'll fuss a bit too much abot her appearance, which is another reason she likes fashion.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Merana may come off as a chatterbox, mostly because she has so much to talk about. She generally is nice to everyone, until you snark something. The possibilities are low since many people at EAH are nice, but if your job is to be the bane of everyone's existence, she'll get mad at you. See above for the possible tricks she might play. MerMer can also be found passing notes in class, usually about something to snicker at, or an interesting bit she learned, or even possibly "Got any chocolate chips? I brought a pancake to class with me. :3"

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Strangely enough, when other people are angry, Merana might be the most calm. She tries to resolves situations to help other people when she's not in the fight. If she was, well, vice versa. She likes it when people apologize to each other, and mean it. They most likely will with Army Sergant Mer looking over them. She hates forced apologies, and is okay if it takes long, as long as it happens truly. Break-up, make-up, that's how she rolls.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Her nickname is MerMer.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Appearance
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal">Merana is that agile mediumish-bodied girl who has fantasy-colored hair and is always one lap ahead of you. She reaches an average-tall height of 5'8, and is around 120 lb. Personally, Mer thinks of herself as "As normal as mermaids can be" and yet "As crazy as a human can be".

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal">She has fair peachy skin. It has a radiant glow to it, from all that swimming around. Her skin is very light due to the fact most of her life was spent underwater. Her skin is very well moisturized, as it dries very quickly if not. She is almost always wet. <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Mer has billowing blue hair and emerald green eyes fringed with long butterfly lashes. All her sisters have the same emerald eyes and fair skin. As said before, she has translucent green fins on her fore-arms and calves. Since she spends much of her time in the water, and forgets to buy anti-chlorine shampoo, her hair is tinged with green. She does however use the shampoo whenever she is reminded but her hair nevertheless remains the same because of her daily Grimmnastics. Also, getting in and out of saltwater is torture on her hair so she has a shampoo for that, too.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">When in mermaid form, she also has an emerald green tail. Her skin takes on a greenish-blue tint. Mer's teeth turn into more shark-like teeth. Her eyes glow more luminously, and her movements are smoother. Finally, she is able to talk, breathe, laugh, other stuff in water. Scales can be found here and there. They are like cool and glossy emeralds sparkling in the water. <h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Interests Obviously, Merana likes art. She is particularly fond of watercolor. Art is just one way of expressing her creativity. She especially likes painting nature scenes, each one containing at least a body of water, be it the sea or a puddle. If you take a peek inside her sketchbook, you shall see bilions of doodles, small and big, whether they are 2-D cartoon characters or shaded sketches. Many of her fashion designs are inspired by her doodles. She is also fond of 3-D art, such as scuplting.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Merana also has a affinity for singing.

Another hobby is swimming. I mean, she's a mermaid! On land, she is a bit clumsy, but in the water, she is quicker than lightning.

<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">How The Story Goes The full story is here: http://www.andersen.sdu.dk/vaerk/hersholt/TheLittleMermaid_e.html

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal">But basically, mermaid chick with 5 older sisters get super jelly of them going to land. She finally gets to go up, and saves this prince guy. The prince guy thought this temple chick saved him and so fell headfirst into chocolate love. Mermaid chick cuts off her tongue and gets legs. Prince guy likes the mermaid chick but he's still in chocolate love with the temple chick. His no-good-dirty-rotten-pig-stealing- father arranged for him and this princess chick to marry with the smell of fish. Turns out, temple chick and princess chick are the same person. WUUUUUT? So the prince guy agrees. Mermaid chick, who has a broken vase heart, is so sad that her sisters cut off all their head bushes hair and gets her a knife. Why is trading so weird underwater? Mermaid chick refuses to murder the prince guy and so turn into Ivory Soap sea foam at dawn.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal">THE END, G'NIGHT KIDS.

<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">How Does Merana Fit Into it? <span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">When her mother turned into sea form they started towards heaven.But, some of the bubbles stayed. Merana and her sisters were born from the magic bubbles on the foam. The rest of the foam was gathered by The Little Mermaid's sisters and given to each of the girls in a ring, so they would have a reminder of their mother, and be able to turn into a human whenever they wanted to. Merana is the Next Little Mermaid, destined to turn into seafoam.

<h2 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Relationships

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Family
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Merana has 5 other sisters, named Sirena, Rialle, Harmony, Melody, and Pearl. She also has many other cousins, aunts, and uncles. Everyone in her family has emerald green eyes and an emerald green tail.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">She is distantly related to Delemara Nevermer, a mermaid from Neverland.

<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Friends '''<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">"Whoa, whoa, whoa Sirena, I don't want a boyfriend!"

- Merana to her sister at least every other day. ''' <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal">Sirena Little- Sirena is the only sister who spends some quality time with Merana. She encourages her love of fashion and also gets tips on what to wear. Sirena is more street-smart than Merana, and often introduces her to new things, such as social websites. She also gives guidelines for a nice fairyteen life. Merana responds by helping her bubbly sister get more organized, stalling for her, and helping her get over her latest break-up.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal">"Hey! Hey- stop it! STOP IT! OR ELSE I'LL RIP OUT YOUR LARYNXES!"

- Merana squished between Quinn and Ark. <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Quinn Schauer- Quinn became Merana's first friend at EAH. They bonded over their love of art and nature. Merana's bold personality meshes well with Quinn's shyness. Many of the times Merana almost became Omega, Quinn calmed her down. Quinn loves Merana's fashion sense, so Merana gladly gives her tips. They both love painting, and Merana is impressed by how expert Quinn is on watercolor. They also both love nature, and basically, they have fun together. They usually meet for Hocus Lattes, or have study sessions together.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal">"I'm not your bestie anymore! In fact, WE WILL NEVER BE FRIENDS AGAIN!"

- Mer and Desi at each other's throats, every three weeks

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Desdemona Marise- Desdemona is Merana's baddest friend. They are basically complete opposites. Who knew a mermaid and a fire demon could be friends? With Desdemona's fiery spirit, and Merana's explosive temper, these two break up and make up about every three weeks. This just shows how close the two are, since Mer has long-lasting grudges. Desi also takes the Anger Magicment class with Merana. They bonded because the others lead such a different life and it's always interesting to be around them.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">"I'm sorry, Ms. Quick isn't here, I did see her in the pig field though..."

- Mer doing a favor for Tailor

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Tailor Quick- Quick to notice the girl, Merana was the first to discover Tailor was at EAH. She has kept her secret, until Blondie's Mirror cast blared it out. Merana is a bit intimidated by the fact she is friends with a popstar, and can act fan-girly at times. She is also a big fan of her music. Tailor and Merana's bold natures and awesomeness at music supports their friendship very well.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">"Oh come, ON! Just get on, I promise, it'll be spellbinding!"

- Mer forcing Coppola on a roller coaster

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Coppola Wind-up- Coppola was just the shy and lonely wind-up doll girl, until Merana dubbed her her friend. The two are very close, for a future reason. Merana has even convinced Coppola to join a band!

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Marino Blondel- Marino is one of Merana's guy friends. Both of them love swimming with a deep passion, and they often race. Since Marino owns a shark, Merana gives tips on proper care, such as advice for healthy teeth and such. As a child, Marino would often swim and come visit The Little Palace. That is, Merana and her sisters would swim to the surface. Then they would swim and play whatever games meramids and humans play together. Not only that, Marino's shark, Sacha also loves swimming with Merana's Meried.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal">Alcide Parfai<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">t- Alcide is Merana's other guy friend. He also loves the ocean and swimming. Since Alcide is very interested in whales and dolphins, it is no surprise that Merana would teach him about them. Visiting Mirror Beach is a usual activity. They are both in the band Musically Ever Afters, along with Coppola and Tailor.

<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal"><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman","serif"; mso-fareast-font-family:"Times New Roman"">Acquaintances Calli Latrans- Merana doesn't know the coyote girl that well. Calli loves making small jokes and poking at Merana's hot coals of anger. But its more of a friendly banter than Calli's usual remarks. Sometimes, this doesn't go so well as no one likes being annoyed after a big fight. But usually, Merana is okay with remarks when she is in a good mood.

Anaitis Neeru- Ana and Merana aren't really friends or enemies. Mer sometimes helps the fellow mermaid out with her lying problem but that's pretty much it.

Amanda Orabelle- It's weird. Amanda and Merana aren't exactly friends, enemies, but their supposed to be frenemies. Well, these two only do so as much as a "Hi" and a wave. It's a bit awkward, with Amanda being the subject of Mer's doom and all.

Rosabella Beauty- The teenage mermaid and beast will be found parading around the school and handing biodegradable leaflets on pollution, ways that students can help, and reasons to do something.

Enemies
Duchess Swan- Merana hates Duchess, and the feeling is mutual. From the first day they met, Merana and Duchess were arch enemies, which is weird because they both are water-related. Duchess is extremely mean to Merana and her friends, until one day...(Read about it in her diary!) Merana is actually willing to be friends with Duchess but only if she changes her ways and tries to be nicer.

<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal">Pet <p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal">During the Animal Calling lesson, Merana received a magical sapphire seahorse she named Mereid, because of the pearls in her eyes. Mereid is a magical creature because she is an enchanted piece of sea treasure.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal">Sometimes, Merana sneaks her into class, disguising her as a handbag, knowing that Mereid gets lonely easily. However, Merana does fear that one day Mereid will suffer from her transformation to sea foam so she also became a Rebel because of that.

<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal">She has also been known to be very friendly to other sea creatures, such as sea turtles, millions of fish, and even sharks!

<h3 class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto; line-height:normal">Romance Dang, people, time has passed so check out Smoky Water so far!

Portrayers
A voice actress for Merana would be Erin Fitzgerald. She is the voice actor for Raven Queen, C.A. Cupid, and Gus Crumb.

A real-life actress for Merana would be Elizabeth Gillies, except with different hair and eye colors. She has the same build as Mer, and the same skin tone, plus a nearly perfect voice for her. She has played Jade on Victorious before, which will come in handy for Merana's scary side.

Most of her outfits and designs hold plenty of stylish yet sea-related patterns, motifs, and accessories. {| class="article-table" !

Merana's Outfits

 * MerMerbyJK.jpg
 * MerMerbyJK.jpg

Basic
Merana wears a top that is a cerulean scale patterned. A slight tint of a lighter blue is found. Three strings of black pearls drip from the crop top and loop around her shoulders, to form some sort of off-shoulder straps. There is also a thin layer of fishnet that starts at the bottom of her bust, and separates and tapers to the back. Her skirt is a flowy turquoise skirt with a light blue bubble pattern. The flowy fabric also is decorated with vertical ruffles attached to tiny gold starfish lining the hem. Merana wears opaque shimmery green leggings, that have a slight wave pattern in a darker green. Her shoes are gold Grecian style sandals with a wedge heel. A piece of shimmery light green gauze is tied to one side, representing a "fin" from her tail. Her shoes also have extra padding, making the pain on her feet more bearable.

Her purse is her pet Meried, only with a black pearl leash.(Not shown. If Mereid is in the ocean, Mer can use a clutch.)  She has a magic pearl ring with a tiny pinch of her mother's sea foam inside, and basically that is what allows her to become human or mermaid at will. She also has matching chandelier earrings studded with black pearls. Her forearms are covered by swirly gold wrist-cuffs. Her billowing hair is let loose, with a head piece that is a string of black pearls that loop around her head, ending in a perfect gold starfish. Black pearls are studded on her gold belt, and strings of them also drip down on top of her skirt, making a clacking noise when she walks.

She does not wear much make up except water-proof mascara and subtle hints of a light pink lip gloss.

Legacy Day
Merana wears one of her mother's human gowns, but with her own twist. It is an off-the-shoulder turquoise dress with a sweetheart bodice.

Class-ic Schedule
Merana loves Grimmnastics. Her favorite sport is swimming(naturally) and is co-captains of the team with Cedar Wood. She has a long endurance and a whole lotta speed, courtesy to her fins, which are hydrodynamic. On land though, the only thing she's missing is accuracy. She is good at volleyball and running, mostly because she doesn't really have to aim. In other sports like soccer and basketball, she just tries to throw it to one of her teammates.

Princessology is MerMer's least favorite class. Basically, all you do in class is learn about smiling, how to wave your hand correctly, the size of your tiara, throne polishing, and your diet. Do you think she'd love this class?

Muse-ic is fairly easy for Merana, as she is a siren. She is the only alto in her family, other than her sister, Alto. She loves singing, ad accopanies her music with a few touches of piano, since she is an amateur player. She loves songs with amazing tunes, or over-the-top dustep power rock chords, like Radioactive.

Arts and Crafts was a period Merana chose. This was because Merana's aunts accidentally sent in way too much for the tuition, so Headmaster Grimm let it slide. She loves watercolor, chibi/kawaii, and sketching the most, but loves other styles of drawing, too! She's just not fond of drawing realistic sketches of people, though...

Story Telling 101 is not a particularly good class for Merana. I mean, it really hurts to read her sad tale of woe in front of everyone. Writing it out is much easier, because Merana is more of a visual kind of girl.

Beast Training and Care is when Merana gets to spend time with her pet. Professor Poppa Bear allows her to wander into the ocean with Mereid. Merana has a soft spot for sea animals, as they made up for her very busy family.
