NOT REALLY FACTS JUST THEORIES
Mermaids are water deities which have power over the elements. They get their powers being close to the water so they can’t stray too far their aquatic home. They can bless a nearby town with clean water, or if you upset them, they can do the opposite and really cause havoc. Immortality, hypnosis, telepathy, and seduction are also powers that a mermaid can possess.
Mermaids drive sailors crazy from their beauty. It possibly could be an evolved predatory tactic so mermaids could have their way with the human race, but mermaids are notorious for their breathtaking beauty.
A kiss from a mermaid can be pretty magical. It has the ability to give you gills so you can breathe underwater. It could also be the secret fountain of youth or provide you powers to heal people.
There are multiple types of mermaids recorded throughout history, however, these can all be categorized into 4 groups. Traditional mermaids like Oceanids live in the oceans or big open water areas, Selkies are found near the UK and Ireland who shed their mermaid tails and have legs to walk around on land, Shape Shifters are known around the world and can transform into a human form whenever they like, and last are the Merfolk who mainly live on land but often travel to the sea in order to recharge their water spirits
{(Personally I think they forgot about Sirens but i d k if Sirens count as 'mermaids')}
Mermaids will often fall in love with humans. Some say, falling in love will cure for them of their tails so they can have legs forever. Others mermaids seek out a human to have children with. If you do by chance fall in love with a mermaid, your luck has changed forever.
The ocean gemstone called Aquamarine is supposably mermaid tears when they part from a mermaids face. These stones are known to have magical powers if one possesses them. To those who get their hands on this mermaid tear, it’s known to have protective and healing powers associated with them.
