Hippo

Hippo is a heroic talking penguin who serves as the guardian and a guide to Lucia and the other mermaids. He is Lucia's pet penguin, Hippo has a tendancy of eating almost anything, often causing problems for everyone.
==Personality==
Hippo is very protective of Lucia and is always worrisome of her and the other mermaids all together. At the start of the anime, he clearly opposes the thought of the mermaid princesses dating humans because he is afraid they will reach the stage of admitting their feelings and turn into bubbles.
Hippo has the shortest temper and often lets what's on his mind come out of his mouth. Though sometimes his thoughts are correct, some get him kicked, smacked, pulled, whacked, chased, hammered, and much more. He also seems to have a tendancy to barge into the bathroom while the mermaids were in the bath, resulting him getting splashed.
Once turning into his human form (episode 25), he first hated his look, thinking that his penguin form was better. He later realized that his human form was better, and fell in love with Yuri. one of the Dark Lovers. Despite that he knew he was in love with a Dark Lover, he still secretly met with Yuri, for he was always wanting to see her again and again. He has to suffer an unexpected shock in order to transform (as seen in episode 34, when he changed by getting bonked by a rock twice.)
