CRAU: N/A
CRAU Changes/powers:
- Kotodama.
Little Mermaid is able to command any human, NIKKE or Rapture to do whatever she wants with this ability. She can also command her bubbles with them (i.e. telling bubbles to lead her friends to her). Before even speaking regularly could trigger the Kotodama, and the strain of using it would cause Little Mermaid to cough and even cause her voice to strain and be in pain. As of her current canon point, she can control it over several years of practice by making bubbles in her throat and learning to issue commands. (ex. if she commanded someone to run away from danger their body would run as if they had decided it themselves)

- Spindrift.
Little Mermaid's weapon -- bubbles! Spindrift acts as a submachine gun that will do additional stacking damage to a target. She is a support unit and so while able to focus fire with Spindrift, her abilities surrounding Spindrift also allow for attack buffs to her party members. (more info here for breakdown of those skills)

- Liquid Metal Bubbles.
Little Mermaid can create bubbles made of liquid metal. These can take any shape, form, color, or size and do not break on contact unless used in battle. Beds are comfortable and "warm", being able to be slept on without the fear of popping. She can make perfect replicas of those she knows in appearance. She can make a bubble large enough to have a small park sized landmass inside it and then command how it moves by moving the bubble. She usually sits on a large bubble that looks like an exercise ball. She is also capable of making life size very detailed and accurate replicas of people she knows with her bubbles.


- NIKKE.
Little Mermaid is a Nikke -- a cyborg created to help humanity fight against the alien threat known as Raptures. She was converted from a human (only having her human brain left, that we know of) into a robotic body. She therefore is heavier than a human, has super strength, does not age physically, and is still anatomically correct. This is due to the female human brain needing to believe on a subconscious level that she is human to some extent. The liquid in her body is red to match the human color of blood, the female body operates as a human would minus the reproductive aspect. If she becomes too disillusioned from a concept of "human", she could suffer a Mind Switch which would cause memory loss at the minimum and a personality shift at the worst. Thank you, nanomachines in her brain that cause conditioning!

Personality:
Little Mermaid is most notably a kind person--so much so that her creator is quoted as saying "You're kind, almost stupidly so." She seems to believe in the best of anyone that she can, choosing to support them and offer a friendly hand as opposed to immediately jumping to suspicion. That is, unless she is given reason to be wary at first. She loves meeting new people and learning about their lives. She also takes a keen interest in people's well being and how she can help them and make their lives better. She is truly a supporter in all meanings of the word. She loves using her bubbles to make people smile and truly make them happy, even if for a moment in the dark world that they all inhabit in her game.

She is also incredibly brave, having given herself up to fight the large colossal size Rapture known as Gluttony in order to save a friend. Her self-sacrifice comes with a downside as she is more willing to put herself in harms danger and cause herself to be destroyed rather than see her friends hurt or suffer as well. She also willingly stays behind in order to dissolve a large source of energy that would cause Gluttony to destroy half the continent if it were to absorb it--nearly killing herself to do so (as over creating bubbles can turn herself into liquid metal).

Not that it means that she is without her own shortcomings. Little Mermaid can be very shy and hesitant, due to being unable to speak properly for much of her early life as a NIKKE. She still makes a various amount of sounds in place of words, or along with hand and head gestures to communicate despite having complete mastery of her Kotodama. Old habits seem to certainly die hard with her. However, this is usually seen more as endearing to the people around her.

Little Mermaid is also a very lonely individual. With her squad being scattered after their only mission, she has only had a few friendly encounters, and was then separated from those new friends as well. She spent seventy years inside Gluttony with only herself and the bubbles that she made to talk to in that span of time. She would send bubbles out to try and lead her lost friends to her, but to no avail. The moment she met Mihara, Yuni, and Mori, she considered it a blessing to have met "new friends." She spent every moment she could with them and dedicated everything in her to getting them free from Gluttony. Her loneliness drives her to extremes to care for people and she will need to be reminded to not only care for herself, but not to give up on her own hopes and dreams of reuniting with her squadmates.

She has suffered extreme amounts of trauma including having her jaw pulverized (by her brainwashed friend), being shot out of a space elevator, and being eaten by Gluttony. Though, what Little Mermaid would mostly consider as the one defining moment--the one trauma she has to make up for--is the rejection she caused to her dearest friend, Cinderella. After Cinderella had been fried of her corruption (brainwashing), Little Mermaid couldn't bring it in her to reach out and take her friend's extended hand. The moment haunts Little Mermaid to the present, as she promised herself she would never turn down a hand that was extended to her again. She'd never make someone feel like she made Cinderella feel--even if her dear friend had already forgiven her. Hurting someone when they are hurt seems to be almost unforgivable to Little Mermaid, especially if she is the one who caused it.

When she is afraid for her well being, or when she is afraid to try something that could cause harm, she tends to revert more to her older self, less words and more sounds, as well as body language wise curling up on herself. She becomes very introverted as opposed to extroverted. Generally a small nudge in the right direction will help open her back up.

Roommates?: Yes, please! She would love one, two, as many as you'd like! She can also be on her own, but she would really rather not be alone again.

Triggers/sensitive topics you'd like to avoid?: Cannibalism is the only ick.
