Kaeru nyōbō (蛙女房) — "frog wive", a shapeshifting character in Japanese folklore. The frog turns into a woman in order to marry a human man, but retains some of her froggy qualities — Kaeru nyōbō is very fragile, small, and is unable to do heavy work due to her little strength.
The life with her can be perfectly ordinary and peaceful, unless the curiosity of a husband & family discovers her true nature, and she hops away.
The stories about frog wives exist all over Japan with some variations of the plot. The motive itself — of a girl "with a secret" and a family ruined by prying into it — seems to be extremely popular in Japanese folklore in general.

Hello♥︎ Crystal Gems , so in this month for third day of mermay challenge I chose steven universe as " Pearl " Since I wonder what if Pink diamond had two pearls ( Sorry I couldn't draw spinel since I was thinking to create her with steven) .
She's ( Pink ) Healer & creator of pearls with help of white . My inspiration was a jellyfish & Pink flavoured Starbucks coffee ( Because she has two tails) .

I had fun drawing my AU’s Steven and Connie (Honey and Liberty) as merpeople for MerMay 2023 last month! Just thought I’d share them here! 💜
🧜♀️🧜♂️
They are based off of the honey gourami and liberty molly fishes!
