Traits
Mermaids often have fish qualities. The majority of mermaids are females, or genderless. Male identifying mermaids are rarer. Mermaids often have beautiful faces, and this is especially so in the more human ones. Inhuman hair colours are often found as well.

Abillites
Mermaids are born with ability to manipulate the ocean's currents and water along with weather. Their voices also have the ability to sway the emotions of non heretic people. They can transform at will between human and fish, but when they are exposed to water their heretic forms became visible.
