Meryl

Merylene Acqua Sirene, also known as Meryl, is a mermaid character originating from George Fan's Insaniquarium, one of PopCap's published games.

Meryl is one of main protagonists of the PopCap-Topia series. She is a mermaid who lives in the Poptopian ocean, and is a member of Lucky PopCap 7.

Physical Appearance
Meryl is a mermaid with semi-brown sun-kissed tan skin, long wavy purple hair, hazel eyes, and a lime green tail. She wears a purple bra with two purple straps that run over her shoulders, which is 'traditional mermaid wardrobe'.

Personality
In Insaniquarium, her personality is shown only through minor dialogue and her in-game ability. Every once in a while, she'll sing a song that makes guppies drop three coins in a row. She's also seen running the Fish Emporium, where the player can buy guppies, carnivores, and many other fish. In the story, she's described as being delighted by singing for audiences, as she has virtuoso singing talents.

In the PopCap-Topia series, she is a genuinely nice and level-headed person who likes helping people. She acts like a mother to anyone who needs her, including her pets and her younger friends (like Lex.) She also loves to sing, and performs in a band known as the 'Siren Sisters' with her three younger sisters.

She act like a 'big sister' to Crazy Dave, a human whom she is really close to.
