please consider Kida/Ariel!! They’d be PERFECT together
Atlantis and Atlantica are fictional aquatic places. Who’s to say that they’re not situated close to each other?
Ariel frequently travels around looking for sunken ships and human artifacts that are scattered across the sea. Kida’s a highly adept swimmer/athlete who explores a lot herself. It wouldn’t take much for these two to accidentally stumble upon each other.
One of Ariel’s strongest traits is her need to learn things. She’s pretty much a self-taught amateur anthropologist.
Kida has lived for a very long time, she possesses knowledge gained over the course of 8 thousand+ years. Think of what she could teach Ariel! Scuttle definitely wasn’t a competent teacher, but Kida would set Ariel on the right path. Kida would be the firm but patient type.
Kida’s probably the only non-mermaid that could keep up with Ariel underwater.
They’re both curious, active, fearless people. They’d go on so many adventures together!!
