Description nyffix made a most beauuutiful mermaid species based on flowers, and so I had to make one myself. Then I straight up got carried away, as you can see here. So they're mermaid flower people. And they DONT SWIM IN PINK WATER. That's all I know so far. If you haven't seen them already, go check them out!! This girl here was inspired of ..the...Sea Poison Tree. Never heard of it, however, it looks very cool.

Edit: oh my bad. I missed one of the details. They have white pupils. Forgive me nyff, plz. Aughhhh the shame

She needs a name. Any suggestions? Throw out the craziest name you can think of

Absolutely gorgeous! I love your color choice and all the little details.

As for a crazy name... maybe Poppoisson? (Poppy + Poisson (fish)) ...since the flower details on this gal remind me of an opium poppy hehe

I've had plant based characters named after their scientific names so I also upvote that idea. XD gah that is such a pretty concept though... flower mers.  I might have to check these guys out (as if I don't have enough to do atm x.x)

The end of that tail though x.x it reminds me of Mimosa tree flowers, aka the prettiest invasive tree ever.

Duuude I looked up the mimosa tree flowers and they look exactly identical to this flower. That's so bizarre, I wonder how that happened. I don't know enough (or anything) about the science of flowers to understand it haha

They both probubly primarily cater to butterflies and other similar insects. I know I've always seen a butt ton of them around any Mimosa I've seen. We called them butterfly trees as a kid. Occationally humming birds are in the area to but idk if they also feed from them.

X.x sorry scientific speculation, I'm a nerd. i know.

Really! No, that's super interesting, I was hoping someone with some info would chime in so..Thank you for your educated guess. Maybe the butterflies think it's pretty too

I should ask my brother lol he loves butterflies and knows a lot about them. I wonder if butterflies can smell? Cause they smell very strongly to! Nice smelling but like I can be in my yard and smell my neighbors tree.

Lol I wouldn't know! XD I've never had a mimosa! Those are alcoholic right? -is lame/knows nothing-

And my brother says they do probubly think they are pretty and smell good cause thats the whole point to attract the butterflies in the first place.

I agree that is a cool character. The name can be Barringtonia, the specie of the plant is inspired by.

Lol i just see the snarky looking smart kid in your icon telling me to name her after the scientific name of the plant. It's perfect.

I actually kinda like the sound of that though

I hope to see more of Miss Barringtonia.
