About this title

Synopsis

Lucia is the new girl at school. She and her sister run a public bath that's all the rage. When Lucia meets a terrific-looking surfer boy, there's just one little problem: Lucia is a mermaid-not just any mermaid, but a princess on an important mission to save the seven seas from an evil force bent on taking control of the marine world. Such a responsibility doesn't leave much time for romance. But Lucia vows to protect her world and win the heart of handsome Kaito. (Source: Del Rey) Included one-shots: Volume 7: Moonlight Goddess Diana, Get Nude, Cherry Blossom

Birthplace: North Pacific Ocean Gender: Female Height: 156cm Weight: 105.5 lbs Blood Type: O Birthday: July 3 (Câncer) Alias: Pink Pearl Voice Hobby: Singing Talent: Making Beaded Jewelry Favourite Subject: Economics Least Favourite Subject: Mathematics Favourite Colour: Pink Age: 13-14, 16 (end of the series) Mermaid Princess of the North Pacific Ocean, keeper of the pink pearl, and the main character of the story. Lucia goes up to land to search for a boy she saved seven years ago. She is unaware of the danger in the marine world and of her real mission until she is told of them by her "older sister," Nikora. She is characterized by her simplicity and naïveté, but with having a strong will, typical traits of shoujo manga heroines. Her idol form is Pink Pearl Voice. Of all the mermaids in the series, Lucia's mermaid form and human form contrast the most (Lucia has dark blonde hair and brown eyes in the surface while having lighter blonde hair and light blue eyes while at sea). Some fans in the West still spell her name as Luchia, due to a misunderstanding of the spelling systems of different languages. The Italian name Lucia follows Italian spelling rules, which say that "c" is pronounced as a post-alveolar affricate (the same sound that is written as "ch" in English) when it appears before a front vowel (in this case, "i"). That pronunciation is correctly represented in Japanese kana as るちあ. When attempting to transliterate the kana back into Latin characters, some people, unaware of the Italian spelling of the name, tried using the English "ch" to represent that consonant, resulting in the incorrect spelling "Luchia."

Birthdate: September 2, 1989 Height: 163 cm Blood Type: AB Rina is the Mermaid Princess of the North Atlantic Ocean, and keeper of the Green Pearl. She is the third Mermaid to appear in the series. She is part of the main trio with Lucia and Hanon, and so she is present throughout the series. Initially she is depicted as beautiful but stern and bent on revenge for the capture of her best friend, Noel. Later, however, she evolves into a more mature character, and acts as an older sister figure to Lucia and Hanon. She seems to love plasma TVs and shows this love in many anime episodes. She also seems to love watching comedy shows. When her kingdom was attacked by Gaito, Rina had escaped with another Mermaid Princess, Noel. The two were in search of the other Mermaids, but Gaito and Yuuri appeared. Their attack was meant to hit both, but Noel took the attacks in order to save Rina. Since then, Rina went to the human world to avenge Noel by finding Gaito. Rina then transferred to the same school Lucia and Hanon went to, only she chose to wear the male school uniform. At first, she seemed to hate Kaito, because he looked just like Gaito, but she didn't know that. She was found out by Lucia and Hanon, and now the three became friends. Rina has three different forms, Mermaid Rina, Touin Rina (her human form), and her idol form, Green Pearl Voice. Her two image songs are Star Jewel and Piece of Love.

Michel (Mikeru) resembles an angel and is the one who launched a personal vendetta against the Mermaid Princesses after learning their relations with the human world. Although he is strong enough to resist any song the Mermaid Princesses would dish out against him until the finale, he is cursed with a weak body. He steals both Kaito's memories and Seira's heart in order to keep himself alive. In the manga, it is revealed that Michel is under the control of Fuku and is very good and gentle at heart. Michel is an ancient angel and is disgusted by what humans had done to the Earth that him and the other angels created. This explains why he needs Michal's body, Seira's heart, the heart of a mermaid princess, which means a fairly large amount of power, and Kaito's memories because he is a very powerful prince whose powers may rival those of the mermaid princesses. Michel believes that "angels" and mermaids are superior beings to humans because both species understand the importance of the Earth and each have powers, in one form or another.
