The Little Mermaid 2023 Headcanon
In the new movie, mermaids have all different styles of tails, just like different fish do. In the same movie, Ariel's sisters are all of different races.
What if, rather than some of them being adopted or Triton fathering kids with multiple women, the human appearance of a mermaid just varies like their tails do?
That is, unlike human appearance, which is determined by what your parents and ancestors looked like, mermaid appearance is less set in stone. What a merbaby looks like is entirely arbitrary in comparison to human babies.
Mermaids are magical creatures, after all; it makes sense that their genes wouldn't work the same way as a non-magical creature's would.

Do you have any ideas/headcanons for what Melody's relationships with her grandfather and six aunts are like? Also, do you have any ideas/headcanons about Ariel's Sisters/Melody's Aunts and whether or not any of them got married and had kids of their own?
A few yeah! I dont have anything really super thought out but I've always wished we saw more of Ariel's sisters in the sequal and honestly wish those three Mer-kids Melody met were written to have been her cousins:
I feel like it would have given greater depth to both why Melody would want to stay a mermaid if she'd had actual time to bond with these mer-kids, (as it didn't look like she really had any friends her age on land) and then having them turn out to be her family she didn't know about would have added great pathos to the separation of the family.
(Honestly in my head the brunette girl and the Asian boy are her cousins, and blondie is Urchin from the tv show's son)
I also realized I never had shown my Canon Descendants design for Arabella, a Descendant who's mentioned in the books as Ariel's neice. I decided to make her the daughter of Attina as she's heir to the thrown and thus it makes sense for her daughter to have a more prominent role as well.
And fun fact! Attina is actually the first sister we have (semi) canon confirmation is actually married! Another reason why I choose to keep TLM's 3 ordwr of the sisters birth, if nothing else from it. Attina always struck me as the oldest (It's the big crown ;) and having her be the first married just makes sense.
There was a short comic where Ariel helped stop Ursula from ruining Attina's wedding to this Prince Eric look alike (like seriously people you didn't even try xD also why are the merfolk wearing clothes under water??)
(Also sorry this is as good as the quality gets for this pic its very zoomed in)
However shockingly we actually see the two together in the end of The Little Mermaid 2 (or at least two people who look shockingly like them) so yeah, I'll take Attina being married at the time of the first movie as canon for the DisneyVerse.
Actually it makes way more sense for at least a few of Ariel's older sisters to already be married off or seriously involved at the time of the first movie. We'll just say their significant others are off screen xD

Wouldn't it make more sense for Triton to have asked Ariel's older sisters to watch over Ariel rather than the court composer?
Though I guess at this point Sebastian is practically family.

Ariel's fam;
Melody and Ellie are Eric and Ariel's daughters.
Arabella is the daughter of Adella and Taz.
Cordelia is the daughter of Attina and Tedrick (who dyed his hair to distinguish himself from his cousin, Taz, to avoid anymore mix ups).
Avisa is Aquata and Nexar's daughter.
Míngzé is (adopted) Alana and Maximilian Westergaard's kid.
Flip is Marlon (Ariel's cousin)'s kid.
Shelly is Andrina and Neptony's kid.
Finn and Fluke are Arista and Dylan's (adopted) kids.
This post was inspired by these posts:
Post 1 , Post 2, Post 3, and Post 4.

Decided to remake Athena so that she would look more like her other daughters rather than an Ariel clone. Since Triton had red hair as child I decided to give Athena the same shade of brown as Attina and Aquata. This explains Aquata, Attina and Adella's hair.
In my mind, she has one parent with black hair and another with brown hair... this explains Alana's black hair and Adella's darker shade of brown.
I am guessing that Ariel, Arista and Andrina all have their hair from Triton's side of the family.
I changed the tail colour to be the same as one of the comics where we see her tail. I changed the eyes to match her daughters. I also mixed Attina and Alana's hair together. I decided to not add a crown because Ariel doesn't wear hair accesories.... in my head canon, it's something Ariel got from her mom... they both don't like hair pieces.

What do you see Ariel's sisters doing in their future?
Attina—She is of course ruling as the Queen of Atlantica, and exploring the history of the past connections between the land and the sea now that relations between them are better
Alana—You know, I think I’m gonna give her a music/acting career, she seems like she’d be an undersea hearthrob
Adella—this was a little hard as her wiki basically just lists her hobbies as ‘going on dates’, but her live action counterpart seems to involved with marine conservation so yeah I think I’d go with that
Aquata—Her wiki says she enjoys sports so she’s a professional athlete
Arista—Her wiki says she enjoys music so I think she’d be some sort of musician/composer
Andrina —her wiki says she likes to explore, so I could see her becoming an ambassador to the Surface in the future
