Aquell

Aquell is a character from the game A Witch's Tale. She is the mermaid princess of Oceria, the Flooded Kingdom.

Biography
One thousand years ago, the Eld Witch came with her daughters to conquer the surface world. One of her daughters grew jealous of Oceria's magic and sank the kingdom. In order to get Oceria to fight in the war against the Eld Witch, Queen Alice turned the once human Aquell into her current mermaid form.

After Liddell accidentally released the Eld Witch, Liddell went to the fairytale kingdoms to get each princesses' sigil and rune. In Oceria, Aquell was swallowed by her servant, the Octopus in a Jar (who was apparently a huge "fan" of the princess), but surprisingly, Aquell wasn't truly harmed. She gives Liddell her sigil and the Supra Abyss rune. Aquell also opens the doot to Al'Sahra to let Liddell check in with the messenger she sent to the desert kingdom.

In the end of the second playthrough, Liddell meets Aquell and the other princesses at a tea party in Lenore. The princesses tell her that this was all a dream and they hope to meet Liddell in the real world and bid her farewell.

Personality
Kaguya describes her as childish. It is apparent that she is naive, even sending a jellyfish messenger to the burning desert of Al'Sahra. She is head-over-fins in love with the vampire Loue who had rescued her before. She acts jealous towards Liddell as the former believes Loue belongs to her.

Powers and Abilities
Like the other princesses, Aquell is possibly immortal as she has lived for over one thousand years but has remained physically and mentally a teenage girl. As a mermaid, Aquell can breathe and speak underwater as well as on land. Her mermaid fin allows her to swim fast as a fish.

Aquell's magic is connected to water and she owns the Supra Abyss rune, a spell to manipulate water. Liddell can use Aquell's doll to cast a powerful Supra spell that summons a water spout.

Trivia

 * Aquell is based on Hans Christian Andersen's The Little Mermaid
 * Unlike The Little Mermaid who was born a mermaid and became human, Aquell was born a human and transformed into a mermaid by a witch.
 * The fact she fell in love with Loue after he rescued her is ironic as the original Little Mermaid fell in love with the prince after she rescued him from drowning.
 * Her hostility to anyone who could be a rival for Loue's affection is similar to the mermaids from Disney's Peter Pan.
 * Aquell and Rapunzel are the only princesses who aren't human.
