Mermaid

Mermaid is a demon in the series.
==History==
A is a mythical aquatic creature with the upper half of a woman and the lower half of a fish. Mermaids appear in the folklore of many cultures worldwide, including the Near East, Europe, Africa and Asia. Male mermaids are called "mermen."
Mermaids are sometimes associated with perilous events such as floods, storms, shipwrecks and drownings. Mermaids are regarded as unlucky omens by many fishermen, often foretelling severe storms or poor catches. Legend says they use their voices to charm men, causing them to crash their ships. In other folk traditions, or sometimes within the same tradition, they can be benevolent or beneficent, bestowing boons or falling in love with humans.
Mermaids are associated with the mythological Greek sirens as well.

A Mermaid in Shiba Park is a client for the subquest "The Cursed Mermaids," in which she asks for the protagonist's help in breaking a curse placed on her fellow Mermaids. The protagonist will obtain Mermaid's Essence after he accepts the subquest. She also gives the subquest "The Demon of the Spring" afterward, wherein the protagonist must enlist Anahita's help in lifting the curse after killing the caster, Pazuzu, does nothing. After having the curse lifted by Anahita, the Mermaid states her companions have returned to normal, and rejoices that they can once again set about drowning sailors together. Completing this subquest rewards the protagonist with a Femme Talisman, which enables the use of the Magatshui skill Omagatoki: Free.
Mermaids are one of the demons with their own unique negotiation dialogue.
Enemy Mermaids may be spoken to by Belphegor, in which he asks her to use her powers to help unclog his toilet. She refuses as it would taint the water, instead giving him some items to help do so before leaving. If Mermaid is in the player's party, she may also speak to an enemy Kelpie and express her sadness at unintentionally sinking people, prompting Kelpie to give her an item to prevent such incidents from occurring again.
