Mercedes Little

Silent Siren

Daughter of the Little Mermaid

### Secret Heart's Desire

I don’t know who started the rumor that my story ends with a happily ever after but whoever did is way wrong. At the end of my mother’s story she doesn’t get her prince and she turns into sea foam. I’m determined to win over my prince before I have to turn into sea foam. I’m supposed to gain a soul and go to heaven but what kind of paradise would I have without my true love? That doesn’t sound like a happily ever after to me.

### My "Magic" Touch

I may not be a very good swimmer without my tail but I’m a great dancer. Since I have legs now I can’t get my tail back but I don’t really mind. I move much more elegantly on land than I do in the water. People say I look very beautiful and flowing when I dance. I have a lot of fun doing it too!

### Storybook Romance Status

I’m madly in love with a boy at school but he’s interested in someone else. I’m trying to get his attention but nothing works. I can’t talk and he doesn’t understand sign language. Even if I could speak I wouldn’t know what to say to him.

### Oh "Curses!" Moment

I have bad ankles so I can’t dance or stay on my feet for too long until they start hurting. Wearing high heels doesn’t help the pain so my shoe choices are limited. I have soothing seaweed bandages that I wrap around my feet and they help some, but the pain doesn’t completely go away.

### Favourite Subject

Biology. I’m very interested in learning the anatomy of humans and how they work.

### Least Favourite Subject

Muse-ic class. Mermaids are famous for their beautiful singing voices but I don’t have a voice to use!

## Fairy tale – *The Little Mermaid*

### The Story from Mercedes Little's Point of View

Mercedes' story is *The Little Mermaid*, originally written by Hans Christian Andersen. A version of it can be found here.

#### What is their Destiny

Mercedes is destined to be the next Little Mermaid, or at least she was meant to. Being born without a voice, many doubt that she will be able to take on her mother's role. Mercedes is fine with not being the next Little Mermaid as the ending isn't very good for her. What she isn't fine with is the reason why so many people in Ever After believe she couldn't do it. Mercedes wants to prove everyone wrong in that sense. Maybe she won't fulfill her mother's role, but she will succeed in something great!

### History

Born a mermaid, Mercedes has always been unable to speak and could never sing the beautiful songs that all the other mermaids could. This was alarming to everyone as Mercedes was meant to be the next Little Mermaid, who needs to have the ocean's most beautiful voice that's worthy of a witch's trade. Due to her disability, the mermaid and Fairy Tale elite decided to focus their efforts on other mermaids who could potentially take up the role of the Little Mermaid.

Still needing a proper education, Mercedes was enrolled at Ever After High once she was old enough to attend high school. She was given a pair of legs in place of her mermaid tail by the mermaid elite using a powerful magic spell. Only the mermaid elite can give her back her mermaid tail. She is meant to receive her tail again once she graduates from Ever After High. The mermaid elites hope that after graduation she will be able to take up the Little Mermaid role.

Once on land, Mercedes fell madly in love with a boy at Ever After High. She wants to win him over but finds that hard to do with her lack of a voice and her shyness.
