About Ariel

The daughter of King Triton and Queen Athena, Ariel lived with a strong passion and admiration for the human world, wanting to experience human life.

About Ariel: Background

Ariel is described as a headstrong and bright young girl, filled with passion for anything adventurous. Her love has been present ever since she was young.

She is also dangerously curious about the human world and wants to experience human life. Her strong passion further amplifies her longing and wish to learn about human culture. However, her father views humans as dangerous and selfish creatures and despises Ariel's curiosity about humans. Her obsession with the human world starts growing to extreme lengths as she collects various human junks and spends most of her time observing them.

Her obsession also mentally affects her, as, at the start of the film, she is shown to be very depressed and filled with despair. She has slowly lost hope of ever experiencing any human interaction, let alone living the life of a human. Finally, this desperation and hopelessness lead to her dealing with Ursula to become a human.

While she may be headstrong and slightly selfish at times, she shows great compassion to those she cares about. This is especially notable through her friendship with Flounder and Sebastian. She showcases a lot of affection and can befriend almost anyone and any creature. While she may have had opposing views on humans with her father, she still greatly cares about them and is loyal to them, and she hesitates to accept the deal as she would never be able to see her family.

About Ariel: Abilities

As a mermaid, Ariel can communicate with all sea creatures. She can use this ability even on land. Before she was turned into a human, she could use magic and used her magic to help make Sebastian bigger. She can also swim at a very high speed due to being a mermaid. Her rate is so great that she could get to Atlantica to Prince Eric's kingdom in less than a day. Ariel is also able to breathe underwater water. However, these abilities are not retained when she becomes a human.

One of Ariel's biggest strengths is her adaptability. She has been able to master almost any skill and knowledge very quickly. This is how she was able to survive in the human world. For example, when she was initially turned into a human, while it takes a while for a person to adapt to using their legs, Ariel managed to pick it up within a few minutes. Likewise, she was able to pick it up with other skills like horse riding and dancing within a few minutes.

Other Important The Little Mermaid Characters

As Ariel ventures to become a human, she meets many people. She has many friends, including Sebastian and Flounder, who help support her. Eric is also a large part of the reason for her motivation to become human and live on land.

Prince Eric

Ariel first sees Eric on a ship, and from the moment she sees him, she becomes attracted to him. This attraction becomes a pushing factor in her deal with Ursula to become human. While Eric doesn't recognize Ariel as the girl he saved, he invites her to stay with him. Eric is amazed at Ariel's beauty, and the two become closer over the next couple of days.

Flounder

Flounder is Ariel's best friend. Ever since they met, the two have been very close. Ariel calls Flounder "guppy" due to his cowardness. Flounder is always there for Ariel and will defend her and be there for her whenever something terrible happens. When Ariel becomes a human and nearly drowns, Flounder comes to her aid and helps her swim to shore. He also allows Ariel to win Prince Eric's heart. After becoming a permanent human, Ariel and Flounder kiss goodbye.

Sebastian

Sebastian is the royal Chief of Staff, and the two were initially on bad terms. Ariel did not like Sebastian and his nagging and wanted to follow the letter's rules. However, she discovers Sebastian performing in a secret underground club and starts respecting him. The two slowly started to bond and grew closer until they became best friends who supported each other when in need.
