The film's character designs adhere to a traditional aesthetic for its fantastical beings, without incorporating explicit racial or gender-based recasting of roles. The narrative focuses on universal themes of friendship and courage, and does not feature explicit critiques or negative portrayals of traditional identities.
Secondary

The film features Elina, a fairy who becomes a mermaid, and the villain Laverna.
