Biography
One year after the Little Mermaid's wedding, Meriella visited her little sister on the prince's ship. During her visit, Meriella met the ship's captain, a handsome young man who was born at sea and was said to have never stepped foot on dry land. They fell in love and the captain, as a token of his affection, gave Meriella a pair of diamond earrings.

As Meriella swam home, she was captured by the Sea Witch. The Sea Witch was furious she had allowed the Little Mermaid to touch her heart once and know wished to ruin the princess's happiness. To keep Meriella from interfering, she locked her in the Witch's cavern. The Sea Witch summoned a fog so thick, the ship would crash into the unseen rocks and sink, drowning everyone on board. Meriella used the captain's diamond earrings to cut through her chains and rushed to the surface. She used her beautiful mermaid voice to cut through the fog and guide the ship. The captain and Little Mermaid recognized the voice and the captain sailed the ship to safety. Meriella and her captain then lived happily ever after.
