Name: Mameido
Homeworld: Rayearth
Notes: A relatively young race, the Mameido evolved in the post-impact oceans of Rayearth as humans evolved on land. Separated into different kingdoms based on where they live in the world's oceans, each is distinguishable by the color of their tail scales.
Though having evolved to live in the oceans, Mameido have no issue breathing atmosphere as well as hydrosphere. Using the power of the 'pearls' gifted to their individual royal families by Aqua Regina, their princesses have been able to transform themselves into human forms to explore the land and interact with humanity.
Mameido have developed myths, legends, and fears about humans. For example, one well known one is that if a Mameido tells a human the truth about themselves, the Mameido will turn into bubbles. The origins of these false legends are thought to be due to the 'dark one' working to hamper his counterpart, Aqua Regina, by isolating the species from each other.
Luckily, the draw of love proved stronger than the myths and fears. Having fallen head over heals for a human, a number of Mameido, though carefully going around their myths as nothing said it was bad if the human guessed or otherwise figured out the truth on their own, used Aqua Regina's power to travel onto land to live with those they loved.
It was the love between a Mameido princess and human, though later discovered, even unknown by him, to be a hidden pureblood Panthalassan prince, that led to the 'revival' of Aqua Regina and the final defeat of the 'dark one'. These events also led to the revelation of Panthalassans and Mameido to the humans of Rayearth at large.
Relations between the three were still tentative when the Zodiac Empire arrived on world. Impressed by the co-operation by the species, the Mameido temporarily retreated into the ocean depths as they were still not fully finished with their past fear of other species. It took visits by Merfolk, Delphine, and other aquatic members of the Zodiac Empire to get the Mameido to come out of their shell enough to work on trying to overcome their issues. To date, no Mameido has left Rayearth, even their princess appointed to the Council Of Leaders usually takes part via holo-conferencing.
Though not at the same level as musically incline Oceanids, Mameido are known to have beautiful singing voices. This is particularly true of their princesses.
