Captain Hook. The man could be both infuriating and charming all the same. The fact remained he wasn't near as 'captivating' having lost a part of himself, with that ship that was taken by old Blackbeard himself. A most dreadful pirate, and not one to play nicely, or so rumors said. But of course she had found out about that tiny little information and let it slip to the Jolly Roger's true captain. Hook himself! While she did not know if the rumors about Blackbeard were true she did know that he did have the Jolly Roger under his command and that alone was a scary fact.
Perhaps she was stubborn on why she insisted on coming along. But it was also because of the fact she knew what would happen if she didn't. While she would have preferred the sea, to a certain extent, it was also giving her a chance to see things upon the land that she normally wouldn't have seen in the first place. Of course she was not naïve, as she knew what that vessel of Hook's meant to him. It meant more to him than anything. Still she walked at a normal pace, just slightly behind Hook. It was Smee that was slower than her. Which was ironic because Smee was probably used to following Hook's every move, since he had become Captain.
"I think you should be more worried about Smee, than me. I'm right behind you." She smirked as she looked at Hook and then back over to Smee. They had a long way to go, and there was no need to stop just yet. But she could tell Smee seemed even more worn out than she was. Which was quite surprising since he was after all the one who was used to walking on land. But it was after all a new experience and she was going to take it by the reign. She wasn't going to back down and play dead simply because things got tough. Oh no, she was a fighter and she would prove that if she had to. "Perhaps you best explain to your first mate here, that time is not on our side and it is imperative we keep going. He keeps wanting to sit down and rest." She said, getting a glare from Smee as she had said such a thing. She had plenty of energy to go and she wasn't ready to rest. After all she made sure that when they did stop she took full advantage of it. As this was a long trek, and there was no time for dawdling as her mother would have said.

The sea had a calling all it's own. Her eyes glimpsed upon that of her beloved Loki. She was grateful that he at least took the notion of coming towards her and not making her walk all the way to him, not that it would have been a problem. She enjoyed his smile and one reciprocated each time he got closer to her. A smirk soon took the place of the smile as he told her that she was beautiful. "Why thank you and don't you look marvelous yourself?" She wondered if he had done anything different?
The kiss seemed to have an everlasting deep meaning. As though it were the last time he'd ever kiss her again. That was how strong and how passionate it seemed to be. "I missed you, my darling." She reciprocated. Her eyes locked on his though she couldn't help but wonder exactly where this night was headed. As she knew ten to one where it might go. She couldn't help but be impressed by the set up he had going for them. Even her favorite dish! How spoiled was she?! She loved the idea of it though. "It smells absolutely incredible. You....you did a really good job tonight I just want you to know that. And....after dinner, what did you have in mind for desert?" She asked almost teasing him with every syllable that she spoke.
She loved kissing him, enveloping her arms around his neck. It was one of her favorite things in the world to be doing. Of course she wasn't entirely sure how much time they'd have of course. As with the way nature and life seemed to have worked for them in the past, there was no telling how long they'd have. Or if the situation could be permanent. But in order for it to be permanent she'd have to get legs for more than just twelve to twenty four hours at a time. And it only seemed to happen at high tide too.
Still she would love a time where they could be together like they had been before, where they didn't have to worry about restrictions or anything else. They could be with each other all day and night if they chose to. Which if she had it her way, that would be what would happen. But she'd take what they could get.

The young mermaid did not stand a chance. Father had always spoken about the dangers of humans. But this had always entranced her even more to get to know them. This of course was perhaps the fact that scared her father the most. Fearing that his youngest daughter would not only be swept up but killed by the humans that would be encountered. Of course she didn't see it the same way her father had. It was all about adventure after all. And no life was worth sitting on the sidelines. Not for her anyway. But although the sea had always and would always been a part of her life story, she was ready to move on. She needed to move on for her own good.
Of course her heart had been shattered a thousand times over in the course of the last near thirty years. Yes, she'd had her heart broken but she still yearned to get back to him. To get back to what they had talked about, sailing the high seas and being together. But there was no point in thinking about such things. Eric was gone to her. Possibly forever, and there was no help. There was no reason to try. She needed to move on from the lost love and move toward what she knew was possible. No man would want a woman without legs. No one would want someone like her.
But she was so lost in her thoughts that she had barely noticed the ship coming towards her. Her memory was in the past as was her reason for existing. Or so she had often told herself. Though kicking herself out of that mindset came a voice she barely recognized. Hook. She'd barely been unable to escape the net that had been thrown overboard. She'd heard his voice even taunting that they should go fishing and of course his men knew what he meant by that. Of course having dropped down, in the manner in which she had, she was highly pissed off. Which meant he would get his comeuppance and not in the way he would have liked. Oh no.
"You're lucky it's just the palm of my hand hitting your face. And not something a lot sharper. Now I am going to ask you one last time what the hell am I doing here? Because I think we both know it's not because I want to be." Her tone was authoritive and cold. Exactly what one would have expected given the rude start to this little conversation. She wasn't about to let him get away with that so easily.

Life under the sea was anything but poetic most times. But it was where her home was. Taking into account that she had not been around a human in a very long time there was no telling what would happen. Still, it was incredible just to be back here. How many times had she been under the sea, going between realm to realm?
On one of her many adventures she ran across a young man that had seemed to be lost, without a shadow of a doubt. He knew where he was headed but not in the way in which to go. This man had inspired much about what she thought, of not only humans but of life in general. He inspired so much more than what she could have instantly told him. They didn't get much time together given her life under the sea and his on land. For years she had been cursed without a voice, and without a reason for being. He was that reason. She had forgotten about everyone else for that time being.
Because he made sense. Because he made her smile and laugh. Something that she hadn't done in well she couldn't even recall when. Her eyes glistened as she prepared herself under the sea. But she knew it was almost time for her date. She knew what her father would say so she quickly swam away after getting ready. Hiding from her sisters so that none of them could tell her father what she was up to. She instantly after what felt like hours made it to the surface, near where she and her date had planned their evening. At least it was meeting point. Her eyes glistened as she would soon walk out of the water on her own two feet. Her outfit was a silver, shimmering dress that had a touch of magic to it. Even without that certain charm it still looked beautiful on her.
As she did not think it appropriate to wear the natural attire that she always was in. Plus she kind of had a bit of help from Sebastian and Flounder in making sure that she looked alright. As all they knew she was just going to the club under the sea, that they weren't even supposed to be in. But better to let them think that than this.
A simple smile encompassed her features as she looked at him. Oh how much he had not changed. It felt like he looked exactly the same as when she had last seen him. Before tonight, before being with him, she had been alone and her heart had been smashed into a thousand little pieces. So she was taking this time a little slower. Not wanting to rush it but to remember every single detail. Of course when she came up from the sea she had hoped to surprise him, but alas he had been looking at it when she had arrived. At least the sun hadn't set yet though it looked like it would at any given time. |

The woman had been through more than her fair share of triumphs. Both up and down. Her heart ached for the full-ness. For the chance to have someone to come home to. But she had no one. The only place she knew she stood a chance was back in Atlantica. But here....it was like the unknown. The sea was perhaps the most cruel of places sometimes. She'd lost her chance at love or so she thought when Eric had sailed away on that ship of his. She hadn't been able to yell out to him because the Evil Queen had stolen her voice. And now that she had it back, she was willing to do anything possible to use it to her advantage. The idea of finding him had all but been a horrible thought.
He was gone. And she had to learn to accept that. Because if she didn't there was no telling how or if she would ever be able to move on. The sea was the comforts of it all. She was still able to change her nature at whim, from having either legs or fins. She could have enjoyed the perks of this of course. She was all wet, as she was perched up on the rocks not too far from shore. Of course she hadn't noticed a ship passing all too close to her. If she had she would have jumped into the water. But alas there was no time for that. It wasn't until she heard a voice that took her out of her thoughts. Killian. Of course. He would get his comeuppance too.
The last time she had seen him she had slapped the hell out of him for his transgressions. Now why the hell would he want to even see her? It wasn't that he wasn't attractive, because he was. But that was besides the point! Now of course it seemed like she wasn't going to get away from him so easily. She turned away from the ship and had dived into the water, when a net had crashed into the waters. Engulfing her inside it. Words could not express how that made her feel. He would certainly deserve a slap and perhaps be thrown overboard. The net carried her to the top of the ship hovering above the deck. When it released her she fell straight into the deck. Her eyes soon met Killian's face and it was easy to tell that she was seeing red when she glared at him. "What the hell was that for, Hook? You knew I was there. I saw you looking right at me!" She was wearing what she always did, little sparkles...the appropriate attire that all mermaids wore. Needless to say if she had it her way she'd leave his ship immediately. |

The young mermaid didn't know what she had done to piss off the Evil Queen other than to come to the aid of another woman. She hadn't known that she was coming between a life long mission to hurt and kill. If she had, well she still would have done it all. But having come from a life where she was known to help others, it still threw her off when the woman believing to be Ursula had taken her voice. It pissed her off. She wanted her voice back. The last thing she wanted was to be unable to tell the man she loved the truth.
Dejected she had spent many years traveling alone. She had not gone back to the home she loved, or to the friends that had been there always. She figured what was the point when she couldn't even communicate? Eric, the man she loved had sailed away from her because she had no voice in which to tell him to wait. Surely he had found another. And that she would never get her happily ever after.
In the sea she was known for her chances of adventure, but there was only so much that one could do without a voice, without a reason for being. It wasn't just taking her happy ending away when her voice was taken, but also Eric's. Although she wasn't sure if Eric had felt the same way about her when she had gone missing. Or how disappointed he was in her.
She had been traveling between the realms. Between the seas. But nothing had surprised her more than coming up on this day and hearing a voice she hadn't suspected to hear. One that seemed oh so happy to see her in misery. Even though she had opened her mouth to say something she knew it would have no effect. Though what else could she do? It made her angry. Seeing this woman in all her glory, mocking her over what she couldn't help!

 | ~ • ~ | Character Basics | ~ • ~ |
.:Name:. Ariel
.:Nick Name:. The Little Mermaid
.:Affiliation:. Good
.:Status:. Hero, Nobility (Princess)
| ~ • ~ | Appearance | ~ • ~ |
.:Physical Appearance:. Red hair, tall, blue eyes, fins.
.:Height:. 5'7
.:Portrayed by:. Johanna Garcia Swisher
| ~ • ~ | Personality | ~ • ~ |
.:Personality:. Smart, ah yes so I suppose I would be considered smart because even though I have the capacity of getting into trouble I usually can figure a way to get myself out of it. It's not the typical book smarts though, as it's so much more than that.
Musically inclined- I can sing with every fiber of my being, and it sounds almost angelic. It is my voice that Eric was able to recognize first, before he had known what my face looked like.
Warm- Despite being from the sea, one would think that mermaids such as I would not be as warm to others, given what people think of us, it's not that we are "bad" or anything. I am warm to anyone who deserves to be treated with the respect they have given me.
Honest- I have never been one to outright lie to anyone. (although sometimes I have a hard time saying the truth because I'm afraid of rejection especially from someone I love.)
Loving- When I love, I love with everything that is within me. This goes to whether I love you as a friend, as a family member or like in Eric's case, someone whom I'd travel the world in order to be with again.
Trusting- This can either be a good thing or a bad thing, but I'm willing to trust anyone that will help me. No matter what it is, this is especially a dangerous quality given in Storybrooke one can never be one hundred percent certain who to trust and who not to.
Courageous- When it comes to doing things that are dangerous I have a tendency to run right for it instead of against it. Which doesn't help due to my adventurous spirit. Flounder always tried to reign that in, but he never could.
Brave- Even in the face of danger when someone I care about is in trouble, I'm not going to just sit on the sidelines and do nothing about it. If it means risking my own life for them, so be it.
.:Strengths:. Compassionate, strong, Loyal
.:Weaknesses:. Eric, my tail (at times), Not knowing enough about humans (such as objects), The belief that there's good in everyone.
| ~ • ~ | History | ~ • ~ |
.:Birthplace:. Atlantica
.:Family:. King Triton. Athena, 6 sisters
.:Occupation:. palaeontologists (study all life forms)
.:History:. Before the Curse:
They say that no one knows the sea’s calling better than a mermaid herself. And if this is true, this is my story. I was born in Atlantica. I was the last of seven children, all daughters. My sisters were each a year a part so we were all relatively close in age. As a small girl, I stuck close by my mother. I idolized her voice, her music. Did I forget to mention I’m a princess? Yes, my father is King Triton, and my mother, is Queen Athena. They’re loving souls, friendly to all who meet them. They of course inspired so many around the kingdom, myself included. Music was something that was always encouraged. My mother liked it, she said it gave her the happiest feeling in the entire world, aside from father and of course my sisters and I. Stories were always told and there was nothing I loved more than hearing my mother sing. The stories that were shared had made me develop an interest in humans. Especially hearing all that they could do. How they didn’t live in the water but up on land. How they walked and did everything.
But life wasn’t always to be as serene and peaceful as it had been. When I was a young mergirl, my mother and father were celebrating their anniversary. They took my sisters and I along with them, as a family celebration. My father had given my mother a music box that had been filled with their song. Everything was fine up until pirates showed up. My father scooped all but my eldest sister and was able to swim away with us. My mother realized that my sister was going to die, because her tail was stuck between two rocks. So my mother pushed the rock out of the way allotting for my sister to get away. My mother, realized that she had left the music box and so she went back to get it. It was then that the pirates ship grew too close to her and she was lost to us forever. Her death signified the end of everything that was truly happy. Music was banned from the kingdom. We all were upset having lost my mother. But we were as upset that we no longer had music. My sisters and I were all displeased at this rule. We wanted to be able to sing and to dance just like before. But father refused it. He just didn’t understand that we all wanted to keep the tradition that mother started alive.
When Sebastian and a few others snuck away to the Catfish Club, where they were part of the band they had to do so without letting my father know. I was the first to discover what Sebastian and the others were doing. They all ran at the sight of me, thinking I was going to tell my father. I was initiated into their little club, and I did so after singing a tune about how I would always love music and to honor my mother with it. But I never did tell anyone. I kept going, without father knowing. Then one day, my sisters seemed to catch on to what I was doing and followed. On that day my sisters and I were curious and had followed them. We didn't tell father of what we had seen because we were having fun. I was able to be with Sebastian and Flounder, as well as my sisters. It was all great fun.
Of course this was not the only time that I would find myself breaking the rules that my father had laid down. He didn't want any of us to have any contact with anyone not from the sea. Said it would get us killed. But of course, I was stubborn and curious. And I fell in love with watching the boats. The people. One particular human turned my world upside down. It was the day a ship had wrecked. There was a man that had fallen into the sea, and I rescued him. I took him ashore and I thought that would be the last I would see of him. But it was then, looking into his eyes however briefly it was, that I had truly fallen in love with him. I also had been able to sing to him, something of which later I'd learn he looked for me, for my voice. After returning back into the sea, I think it was easy to say that I had changed, that saving this man had changed me. I wanted to learn more about humans, and to keep taking little trinkets that I found upon the ocean floor. I put them in my secret cave, one that only I went to. One that I was sure my father would never find.
Flounder was the only one to support my "strange" obsession with human things. He even gave me a statue of the man I rescued, whom I later learned was named Eric, and he was a prince too. Of course, my sisters and flounder did the best they could to cover for me when I was acting "strange" according to my father. Flounder was always looking out for me, something of which I appreciated. He tried to protect me, and for that he's a good friend. Although he wasn't the "best" protector, he did his best despite so many things scaring him.
One day while swimming in the sea, I met Snow White. A woman who would have been killed, by an evil queen nonetheless, and the two of us soon become friends. Snow of course tried to convince me that I should have been upfront with Eric about how I felt, but I didn't. I was too afraid. I didn't want to be rejected and how could I tell him about what I truly was? But Snow White and I went to a ball that was being hosted by Eric and his family. Snow taught me about the various human things that were on the table including a "fork" which I thought was a mini trident. I stuck it in my pocket as a keepsake. I was shy at first but Snow White told me to go talk to him. So I did, and we danced. Eric invited me to travel with him. I wanted to go, really I did.
It was then that the evil Queen "Regina" whom I thought was Ursala, attacked. She did it in a clever way. Said that If I wanted to be with Prince Eric then all I had to do was put this bracelet on Snow White. So I did. Only later did I realize that it was me betraying Snow. And it also made me realize that the woman I had believed wasn't who she said she was either. I ended up stabbing her with the fork I found at the party and needless to say it got chaotic. And I didn't want to do that, I didn't want to abandon my friend, no matter what it would cost me in the end. I was able to get the bracelet off of Snow and we were able to swim away. I was given back my fins and she retained her legs. It cost me the chance to really be with my true love. It cost me my voice. I was left alone while Eric sailed away.
After the Curse: I left and went into the sea. I don't remember how long I was there, just by myself. (About 29 years) When Regina summoned me. Needless to say I wasn't so pleased to see her. But she gave me a chance to go find Eric who was apparently living in this town called Storybrooke. I was the only one who could "help" her because mermaids like myself were able to cross the worlds as Regina put it. I didn't want to trust her and I didn't. But she gave m the bracelet the same bracelet she had tried to give Snow, and it would give me the ability to have legs. She was only doing this because she wanted me to procure a weapon that would help stop Pan. I first got the attention of a man named Leroy who was with six dwarves. Leroy let me borrow his jacket to cover myself with. He brought me to this diner where I was met by Belle. I gave her the sand dollar that Mr. Gold had given me. Belle figured out Mr. Gold's riddle and soon brought out the weapon he spoke of, Pandora's Box. My curiosity was more linked to an item, a button, that was eerily familiar to one that Erik once had, and I was sure it was his. I found this while changing into more "appropriate clothing" as Belle had said.
We were soon kidnapped by John and Michael, two men who were under Pan's orders. They wanted Pandora's box destroyed on Pan's behalf. Belle was able to take the bracelet off of me which allowed me to wiggle free of my binds since I again had my tail. Something of which you can't stand if you have. Once we were free, I was given back my legs and we went to the mine in order to stop those two. Eventually we were able to convince the two men that their only chance was if they helped us stop Pan. Whom they were afraid would hurt their sister, Wendy.
After Pan was successfully taken out as Belle said, we returned the box to Mr. Gold. Regina praised me for my 'good work' and uses her magic on the bracelet which I still was wearing, to allow me to have control over being human. I made a promise that I would help save Wendy. I returned to Storybrooke and was soon given information that my price, Eric, was working as a fisherman.
I worked up my courage, to talk to him after I saw him chopping up fish. A fact that I was displeased with as I was sure I knew many of them. But Eric and I shared a passionate kiss, and all was right again. Of course this was not to be the only kind of circumstance that would lead us into trouble. While undoing the first curse, as it were, Regina caused a mayhem of things to occur. Including to lead all of us into the enchanted forest. I was apart from Eric once again which frustrated me to no end. I later learned he was kidnapped by Black Beard, after having procured his blade. I had gone to Hook hoping that he could help me, but he was a coward. When Hook wouldn't give up claim on his own ship the Jolly Roger, after Blackbeard asked him to; it was evident that Black Beard had information about Eric's whereabouts and wouldn't say where. But when Hook wouldn't do it, he told me he was saving me from a never-ending torture of always searching for my loved one. Last I saw Hook I told him he'd never be happy and would never find love before diving once again back into the sea to find Eric. I even was able to save Black Beard from death without Hook even noticing. I still have not seen Flounder, and have no idea what had happened to him. I miss my little friend, and all the chaos we have gone through together. More recently I have chosen to live on an island known as Hangman's Island.
