Characters

Choose from three legendary mermaids of Mako Island:

• Cleo Sertori — The water-bender with brown wavy hair and an orange tail. Her hydrokinesis power lets her push back boulders and enemies with a wave of force.
• Emma Gilbert — The cryokinetic blonde mermaid. Her freezing power can stop sharks, jellyfish, and even fishing nets in their tracks.
• Rikki Chadwick — The fiery platinum-blonde with two side braids. Her hydrothermokinesis can melt ice blocks and burn through fishermen's nets.

How to Play
