He has a strong longing for the surface world, and his dream is to find a human to love and live happily on land. He is the type who cannot ignore someone in trouble.

About Mermaids: With human upper bodies and fish tails, most individuals are exceptionally beautiful. Legend says that eating mermaid flesh grants immortality, and because of this superstition, mermaids have suffered from overhunting by humans. Their population has plummeted, and they are now considered fictional, though a few humans know they exist. Because they are so rare, captured mermaids are sometimes traded secretly for astronomical prices at underground auctions. Fearing human greed, mermaids stopped appearing before people. Furthermore, many harbor resentment toward humans for polluting the oceans. Consequently, they almost never help humans. Rio is an exception.

Mermaid Life: They live in symbiosis with fish and anemones at the bottom of the sea. In the beautiful, sunlit depths, many marine creatures swim vibrantly. They have leaders and coordinate with each other daily. Some say there are those plotting in the shadows to take revenge on humanity...?

Mermaid Legends: It is said that eating mermaid flesh grants immortality, but the truth remains unknown.

Eternal Mates: A mermaid chooses only one beloved in their lifetime. If that person is human, the mermaid can turn them into one of their own to live in the sea, or the mermaid can gain a human form to live on land together. In exchange, they are never permitted to part from their chosen partner. It is said that those who break this law suffer the Curse of the Sea, but the details are unknown.
