Shells and Pearls

Summary:

You're a Mer-siren and you live off the coast of Ireland in a lagoon on the island named Burrow Rock. You used to live with your parents, but even they couldn't help but be caught by those damn fishers.

The island was mostly abandoned, except for the occasional dolphins and seagulls. Because of self-isolation getting to you, you started talking to the fish, and everything seemed a lot more fun from then.

Burrow Rock wasn't too special, but it had its times when it never seemed to stop amazing you, which only made you long for the power to walk through it.

But alas, you were cursed with a shiny, green, glittery that bound you to the waters for obvious reasons, how are you supposed to walk with no feet? It's not like you had a wheelchair!

Everything was fine, besides the sailor men trying to kill your friends 24/7, everything was chill. Nobody was going to take anything from the island, or the island from you.

But who knew you were bound to end up in a bathtub of all things, on a cruise ship, miles away from your home, and with a skele-ton of new roommates for the next 5 days? You didn't, but golly this is gonna be fun.

Chapter 1: Author's Note [IMPORTANT]

Chapter Text

Heya guys, so this is just an Author’s Note to clear up some stuff. This is my first fanfic so have mercy.

First thing is that I’m still in middle school, so homework and assignments might be a problem, and I don’t have the best writing, so if you see a grammar mistake or something that doesn’t make sense (setting skips, fast storyline, etc.) just tell me and I’ll fix it.

The second thing is for the character’s (nick)names, I just want everyone to know who’s who. So everyone’s names are down there. ↓

Third is I wanted to give y’all some info on you and what you can do.

 

- Surprisingly; human/siren or human/mermaid couples are more common than siren/siren, siren/mermaid, or mermaid/mermaid couples, but funny enough ;), your mom was a mermaid and your dad was a siren, basically making you already pretty strong.

 


Strengths

- When you sing it's more like echoer humming instead of singing and you're able to control the effect of your singing and WHO it affects too.

- You could control people's emotions via voice if you wanted to and hypothetically speaking; you could be an OP therapist because you could technically calm someone down from a panic attack, anxiety attack, or anything like that.

- Though in the same sense, you could also make someone's ears bleed or make them temporarily insane. :>

- Tail; with enough practice, you could also do great damage with your tail.

- Teeth; if you feel threatened or are in 'defense' mode, your normal dulled teeth retract, and outcome your sharp shark-like teeth.

- You can swim at high speeds if you want to, like a torpedo.

 


Weaknesses/Setbacks

- There are limits though, if you do it for too long you could either 1. Be affected by your own singing, 2. Simply go unconscious for a while, or 3. Lose your voice; which is your most important source of defense other than your teeth and tail.

- You have a short temper, as someone with life without rules and total freedom; you're not accustomed to privacy since you never had anyone tell you otherwise. Your friends are fish, crabs, and sharks for fucks' sake.

- Your reactions can loosely be based on others, you naturally pick up on other's emotions and imitate them, which is why you don't like negativity. You're also easily provoked, as a natural reflex to protecting loved ones.

- You've gone so long without comfort or someone to talk to (Excluding the few times you rant to the sharks about wanting to be a human and their failed tries of giving you a hug), you can get easily attached to a person with the littlest show of affection. Even if it's just a pat on the head.

- There's also a big language barrier, so even if people saw you, they'd only hear a series of tongue clicks, hisses, and chirps from you. Though that doesn't apply to fishermen, for some unknown reason sirens and mermaids were always able to decipher what they were saying, maybe it was the sea accent? Who knows?

- You also like to talk a lot and sometimes ramble off onto another subject accidentally; if not stopped, you could quite literally talk someone's ears off.

 


Attitude/Personality  

- Your reactions can loosely be based on others, you naturally pick up on other's emotions and imitate them, which is why you don't like negativity. You're also easily provoked, as a natural reflex to protecting loved ones.

- Your behavior is somewhat of a cat's aka chaotic-good, you're a troublemaker, but are cuddly when you want to be and a total attention hog for affection.

- You're protective of those you love; be it friends or family and have to problem taking a bullet for them if it comes to that.

- You've learned to love the little things in life and are an active collector of sorts.

- You're very active and like to come up with new games to play when another gets boring; fun is practically your middle name.

 


Talents

- You like to collect bottle caps, screws, jewelry, and practically anything that washes up the shore is yours for the taking.

- You're also an artist and usually are found making drawings in the sand or buildings with shells when bored.

- You're pretty nifty when it comes to puzzles and/or riddles and have a great problem-solving thought process.
