At 16 years old, Ariel is the youngest of King Triton’s seven daughters. Unlike her sisters, she displays an adventurous spirit, curious to know about the human world which angers her father who has forbidden her from making contact. Her close companions are a fish named Flounder and a crab named Sebastian. Ariel keeps human items in a secret grotto as part of her collection but knows about their usage only from her friend Scuttle, a seagull she visits on the surface from time to time when she finds new human 'artifacts'. During a storm she saves a human from drowning and is determined to free herself of her tail and venture on land to find him. Ariel is a beautiful and very innocent looking being who is wanted by everyone at sea, she’s only going to let one man close to her innocence, just watch who could that be!
