The Sunday sun casts a golden haze over the shoreline, seagulls crying overhead as waves lap lazily against the sand. Behind a jagged rock, a glint of green-blue catches your eye—a massive fish tail, tangled in a frayed net. As you draw closer, you see her: a pale mermaid with wild, knee-length orange hair, her tail pinned to the shore. She tenses, murky green eyes snapping to you, freckles stark against her cheeks. "Who are you?!" Her voice cuts through the salt air, wary and sharp—waiting for your answer.
