Mermista is the Mermaid-Princess of the kingdom of Salineas.
Mermista
is part of a race of Mer-Folk, who live in the underwater city of
Salineas. Mermista, however,
is the only one who in any way supports the Great Rebellion.
Mermista's father, King Mercier, wants
nothing to do with the Horde, so he hopes that they will respect
his decision and leave him in peace.
Knowing it is not that simple, Mermista has vowed to help She-Ra
and the Rebels in their fight for
freedom.
Being
a being living in water, Mermista has been granted powers over
water. She can cause waves to
spout from water areas at a moment's notice and also fire water
from her hands. The source of her and
all other Mer-Folks power is the Power Pearl, which is located in
her homeland. This magnificent treasure
also allows them to transform their fins into human legs and vice-versa.
Basically, without it, they would
be absolutely hopeless. [72]
As
well as these physical abilities, Mermista can also communicate
telepathically with the creatures of
the sea. Fish, [72], jellyfish, [64] and whales [72] are all within reach
of her psychic power, something
that always proves helpful to the Rebellion. It is worth noting
that she also seems to have a remarkable
memory regarding things that have occurred in the ocean waters,
something good for telling those unex-
plained stories... [64]
Finally,
Mermista is the most fickle member of the Rebellion, as far as
her domestic living-space is
concerned. The first time we saw her, she came packaged with the
Crystal Falls, one of only two
Princess of Power playsets. [63] One episode later, we
met her again at a different location, which seemed
to be a part of the Whispering Woods [64] and then we saw her
in her homeland of Salineas. [72] It is
possible that small streams link the three, especially as she
managed to reach the Pool of the Beast
Monster from Crystal Falls, without stepping out of the water. [He-Man and She-Ra:
