A/N: I wanted to do a fanfic poem about one of the lesser heroines of the Great Rebellion, and I just happen to be in the mood for Mermista today. Some of the material here is made-up, because her character and personality were less deeply explored than some of the other more prominent Rebels, and I wanted to be a little imaginative.
Mermista
Princess of the city of Salineas
And mermaid of the Mer-folk of the sea
She remarkably remembers events
That took place in the ocean waters
She also knows that the Evil Horde
Cannot be compromised with
Because her people's neutral stance
In the war between the Horde and the Rebellion
Will do no good against a foe
Who wants to root out and destroy all.
Clothed in green and blue and gray
Able to shift from mermaid to woman
She is the only one of her kind
To dare to fight the Horde of death
And bravery is her hallmark trait
In battle against the Horde Troopers
Where water is her personal weapon
That spouts and shoots from her hands.
Friend of all that swims under the sea
Fish and jellyfish and whales and all
Her passion lies in caring for them
And personal friendship and bonding
Her kindness to the creatures of the sea
Is amazingly strong and absolutely free
And her powers of telepathy
Make her able to talk with the animals
Like She-Ra herself, animal lover
Communication with the underdogs.
This mermaid's spark of living force
Informs every moment of her life
When she comes forth from the flowing water
To spray the Horde with her wet weapons
As she wishes for another day
Of peace and justice for Etheria
As well as one more day of freedom
For her own home of Salineas.
These two princesses of power
Mermista the mermaid and She-Ra
Will work together to protect the clean waters
From the pollution of Hordak and war
She-Ra is the muscle and strategy
While Mermista is the loyal partner
In Etheria's waters among the fish
Sister and friend, beautiful Mermista
Will never lose hope for her salvation
And that of Mer-folk everywhere.
