Mermaid (Forest Legends)

The Mermaid is a minor character and an ally of Eveline. She appears in Forest Legends: The Call of Love.

Biography
When the naga, evil snake-human hybrids came to a world created by Selena, the goddess of the moon tried to help them and bless them but her efforts were in vain. They had been created by an older god and thus she had no power over them. She cried over her powerlessness and her pity. Her tears fell into the sea and mingled with the water to create sea foam. Mermaids, creatures who could breathe above and below the waves appeared in the froth.

The Mermaid fell in love with an unknown person from the land. To be with him she went to the greedy goblins. The goblins gave her a magic potion that would turn her fish tail into legs but it was incomplete without the leaves of a wandering tree. When the mermaid used it, her fish tail turned into stone.

On her journey to Dreamhood to rescue her true love Eveline finds the mermaid. The mermaid offers her a recipe for an underwater breathing potion if Eveline can remove the spell from her tail. Eveline finds a chained up wandering tree and uses its leaves to complete the potion. The potion restores the mermaid's tail and transforms it into a pair of human legs. The mermaid informs Eveline of an underwater tunnel that will lead her to Dreamhood and gives her the recipe to an underwater breathing potion. After the potion is made, the mermaid warns Eveline of the naga. According to Eveline's journal, the mermaid sets out to find her beloved.

Personality
She is very kind and friendly. She would have helped Eveline without asking for anything in return if it weren't for her petrified tail.
