–Mermista | ||
Mermista is a character of the A-B10's Saga, appeared first time in Ultimate Princesses of Power Alien. She is the princess of Salineas and a member of the Princess Alliance in the Rebellion. She is one of the Elemental Princesses.
Appearance[]
Mermista is a dark-skinned woman with a thicker, rounder body type, black-painted nails, brown eyes, and dark eyebrows. She has deep teal hair with a pattern that resembles a wave, referencing her powers and kingdom, which she wears in a plait or puffy ponytail that rests on her shoulder. She wears a tracksuit with a teal and turquoise scale design and a gold collar, turquoise pauldrons with a gold outline, golden bracelets that cover both wrists completely and golden ear cuffs. She wears high-top sneakers that consist of turquoise and blue tongues, gold vamps, white soles and a lighter blue decrotating the backs.
Personality[]
Sarcastic and blunt, Mermista keeps a stony face and a cool head most of the time, usually finding it hard to express her true feelings and masking them behind a relaxed exterior. She is stoic and has no problem speaking her mind, but often shies away from verbally expressing her feelings, particularly the ones she holds towards Sea Hawk.
Mermista does not back away from hard or difficult work, though requesting her to do undesirable jobs typically comes with some complaint. She bravely travelled the sewers of the Fright Zone to free Glimmer and Bow, albeit reluctantly. When asked to do this during the plan, she responded «Mermista will do what?». She can be very dramatic when she gets into the role.
Despite this, Mermista has begun to develop a more proactive role, including leading the Rebellion in Adora and Ben absence.
History[]
Background[]
Mermista is the ruler of the kingdom of Salineas; however, when her father retired he left her a kingdom that was crumbling.
Ultimate Princesses of Power Alien[]
Season 1[]
Seen for the first time ruling an empty kingdom with only one subject, her initial reaction to the arrival of the Best Friends Squad is one of resignation. Glimmer, Bow, Adora, Ben and Sea Hawk arrive just before the Horde. They arrive in Salineas to find that the kingdom is woefully understaffed and in danger of falling to the Horde. And that many residents have fled because the Porta Marina is falling apart. Glimmer offers to help Salineas if he joins the Alliance. Mermista and Sea Hawk trade blows over him causing her to be kicked out of the Dolphin Social for challenging the doorman to a duel and him setting fire to their gondola in the Tunnel of Love, presumably on a date gone horribly wrong. Adora discovers that the Sea Gate draws its power from the Pearl, the Runestone of Salineas, and deduces that the connection between the gate and the Runestone must be damaged. She agrees to let Adora fix the broken Sea Gate and joins the alliance after the heroine repairs the gate and sends the Horde soldiers packing. She then gives Sea Hawk a new ship to replace the one he set on fire telling him not to set it on fire, to which he replies that he won't promise anything.
At the Princess Ball, Adora and Ben notice that Sea Hawk is there, singing about his date: Mermista. Of course, Mermista denies that he is anything but her ride, but her face turns red with embarrassment. Enraged, Mermista then leaves to find a seaweed bar and Sea Hawk follows him just as Bow and Perfuma arrive.
After Bow and Glimmer were kidnapped by the Horde, Mermista, Perfuma, Sea Hawk, and Entrapta volunteered for Adora and Ben to rescue them and staged a daring escape. Mermista endured more than anyone to enter the Horde compound and let the others enter the Fear Zone. After the heroes free Glimmer and Bow and think Entrapta is dead, Mermista insists on returning home and leaves the Princess Alliance. Mermista summed up everyone's concerns when he says he can't risk his kingdom or anyone else's life by staying with the Rebellion. Later, Mermista rejoined the Alliance to defend Bright Moon from the Horde's attack in the Battle of Bright Moon.
Season 2[]
Mermista joined the rest of the princesses to destroy bots and eventually capture one for Bow to study. She helped plan an attack on a Horde held tower, where she accidentally destroyed the Horde's spy-bot. She then harnessed the power of water to help take the tower from the Horde soldiers.
Season 3[]
In Bright Moon, Bow, Perfuma, Frosta, and Mermista spy on Angella and Glimmer's argument. Glimmer argues for decisive action to save the planet which is imminently in danger. Later, beneath the Moonstone, Shadow Weaver prepares to draw power from it even as Frosta, Perfuma, and Mermista arrive. They insist on going as well and tell Shadow Weaver to "make that thing bigger", referring to her sorcerers glyphs. After teleporting to The Fright Zone and engaging with several Horde soldiers Mermista and Frosta hold them off while Shadow Weaver, Bow, and Glimmer move on.

Powers[]
- Pearl connection: Mermista is connected to the Pearl, one of the five Runestones, making her one of the Elemental Princesses. Her connection grants her a variety of abilities, many revolving around water.
- Hydrokinesis: Mermista is able to manipulate and control water. She is seen multiple times controlling vast quantities of water.
- Mermaid Transformation: Mermista is able to switch between two forms, one with legs and one with a mermaid's scaly tail. While it isn't made explicitly clear if this power derives from The Pearl or not, in all likelihood, it does.
- Aura generation: When united with the other princesses, Mermista can generate an aura that greatly amplifies her powers. Her aura manifests in the color cyan.
Abilities[]
- Hand to Hand Combat: Mermista, with the trident, is a decent fighter.
- Seagull Communication: She was shown to speak and listen to a seagull, while understanding it.
Equipment[]
- Trident: Mermista owns a pitchfork, used by her with great skill.
Weaknesses[]
- Fire: Years earlier, Netossa claimed that Mermista's weakness was fire (with a design featuring Sea Hawk), but in reality it is presumable that the weakness is Sea Hawk itself.
