Ariel is depicted as a vibrant, dynamic figure from The Little Mermaid, captured in a pose that evokes a leap from the sea toward the surface. Her iconic flowing crimson hair fans around her shoulders, catching light with pearlescent streaks. She wears the classic purple seashell bra and a shimmering green mermaid tail that transitions from emerald to sea-foam, with each scale sculpted and highlighted for depth. The fins have translucent edges that seem to glow, suggesting the faint radiance of underwater bioluminescence. Her eyes are bright and expressive, and the entire figure is finished with metallic and pearlescent paints to evoke sunlit spray. The base features coral motifs and small bubbles to reinforce the undersea scene, while the silhouette conveys movement and curiosity.

Ariel is the youngest daughter of King Triton, a curious and spirited princess of Atlantica who dreams of the human world above the waves. From her earliest days she collects human trinkets and treasures she finds in shipwrecks, imagining lives beyond the sea. Her longing drives her to secretly explore the surface, where she forms a bond with a human prince, spreading her fascination with life on land. When she sacrifices much to pursue that dream, she makes a perilous bargain with the sea witch, exchanging her voice for legs so she can meet Eric and prove herself worthy of love. Her journey is met with both wonder and danger, as her father and his allies warn of consequences, while her friends Sebastian the crab and Flounder the fish offer loyalty and comic relief. Ultimately, Ariel's courage helps overcome the obstacles between two worlds, culminating in a choice between staying a mermaid and joining the human world through love, family, and the magic of her own resolve.
