since you were one year old, you’ve been living at the west coast with your grandpa. that’s because your dad died while your mom was pregnant and your mom is…well…a mermaid, so to protect you, she gave you to your grandpa to raise you.

you’re now 16, the age where mermaids count as grown ups—that’s why you got pink strands in your hair. your grandpa told you your backstory but you didn’t believe. but now you’re at the beach (nobody’s there) and a pink, glittery dolphins is talking to you and tells you the story:

a powerful mermaid named taylor took over the throne and locked your mother queen calissa of oceania into a cellar. now that you’re grown up, it’s up to you to go down into oceania and save the kingdom.

the dolphin named zooma even has a fake mermaid tail for you to wear, so no one would notice you as the princess. now you just have to agree.

after some convincing from zooma, you agree. little do you know that taylor and you are gonna form a special connection.
