Thank you Regan ^^. Rusalka is actually a lyric fairytale/opera inspired by The Little Mermaid but much more darker. It's actually pretty similar in terms of plot but there are plenty of differences and I feel like it's not used as much (I checked, no rusalka OCs here yet!).

And yeah, I feel exactly as you do. Everyone's writing style and preference are always changing, so it's fun to see new backstories for our characters. What inspired me in the first place to redo MerMer was the fact that I didn't feel like TLM "clicked" for me anymore. It was a bit boring trying to write her backstory, but the new story actually interests me with it's variations and possibilities!
