The Little Mermaid is one of the most famous fairy tale characters, popularized by the 1837 Danish fairytale written by Hans Christian Andersen. She is a mythical mermaid princess who dreams of becoming human.

The Little Mermaid has a beautiful fishtail, flawless pale skin, enchanting eyes, and long flowing hair. She lives in an ornate palace deep below the sea with her father, the Sea King; her grandmother; and her five elder sisters. She is the youngest and most adventuresome of the sisters.

The Little Mermaid becomes fascinated by the human world after saving a prince from drowning and falling in love with him. She makes a deal with a sea witch to trade her voice for human legs so she can leave the sea in search of her prince. Her selflessness and perseverance through pain and hardship have made her story universally appealing.

The Little Mermaid has been adapted into various films, books, ballets, plays, and TV shows.

Her boundless curiosity, courage, and determination inspire audiences around the world.
