Ah. okay. Weeeeeell, personally I'd recommend going by the original, seeing that it seems that most of the canon characters on the show aren't specifically going by any recent adaptation of their story (although there's probably been a few references here and there of them, I guess). However, I don't see why your OC can't just be Japanese while sticking with the original tale. :3 After all, the story itself doesn't really mention The Little Mermaid's ethnicity (that I know of) so she can theoretically be of any race.

I'm not you though, and it's just my opinion. You don't have to take my advice. You can go with it if you want to~
