Shipshape Shipwreck | |
| Mermaids / int_12c98b56 | comment |
Shipshape Shipwreck: In Rani's Sea Spell, Rani's family goes to visit Miriam's mother, who still lives in the same shipwreck where Miriam grew up. After decades at the bottom of the sea, the ship is still intact, besides holes the merfolk use as doors. The roof finally caves in during a party, but Rani uses the sea-spell to repair the damage, making the shipwreck shipshape again. | |

Frame-Up | |
| Mermaids / int_2d363f63 | comment |
Frame-Up: Long ago, Morva prepared a potion to cure a sick baby. Her romantic rival replaced the potion with salt so that the baby died, and accused Morva of using bad magic. Morva was exiled from Tingle Reef. She's only allowed back in after she makes a potion to cure Murdoch of Yellow-back jellyfish venom, which is always fatal otherwise. | |

PeopleOfHairColour | |
| Mermaids / int_2ea36c59 | comment |
People of Hair Colour: Nearly all the merfolk of Tingle Reef have blond hair, blue eyes, and green tails. Only Rani and Morva have red hair, brown eyes, and orange tails. In The Shell Princess, Morva takes Rani to her hometown, where everyone looks like the two of them. | |

Doorstop Baby | |
| Mermaids / int_5cd8680b | comment |
Doorstop Baby: Rani was found in a clam-shell at the edge of the reef when she was a baby. It turns out her parents put her there to protect her during a sea-quake, and put her twin brother Peri in a different shell. Her parents were both killed in the quake, and Peri was found by servants of the Mer-King and brought back to his birthplace, but Rani was presumed dead by her surviving family for ten years. | |

Multi-Armed Multitasking | |
| Mermaids / int_750b606b | comment |
Multi-Armed Multitasking: Octavius the octopus can do this. When Rani and Roscoe visit him to ask for help with Rani's powers, he uses two arms to push aside the curtain to his cave while using two arms to wash his cooking pots, one arm to hold a plate of food, and the other three to eat. In Rani's Sea Spell, Rani and Kai meet Octavius's sister Flora, who styles the sisters' hair, using some of her arms as curlers. | |
