Mermaid Princess



The Mermaid Princess is from the video game Rules of the Rose. The Mermaid Princess is attached to a long rope that can be viewed at the head of the bed. The rope is attached to a strange, pulley-like mechanism which starts to spin, and the mermaid princess is then lifted up from the bed via the rope. She appears to have slits and stitches all over her body, which could possibly resemble mental scarring, or self-mutilation. She also has very long nails. She is bound by a rope, which most likely symbolizes Clara's inability to escape the orphanage and her sexual abuse by Mr. Hoffman. The Mermaid princess attacks consist of her swinging her arms in order to hit anyone in the way, and vomiting up a toxic, green substance. The amount of health she has left sometimes determines the spill of the vomit. During the battle, Clara's laughter can be heard, which morphs into crying. This possibly resembles mood swings. She is a creepy monster but not that monstrous. I give her 3 out of 10 Tentacles .

  1. Eh...yeah, she's not that scary really. She's just creepy and a bit sad. The scrapes and bruises were a nice touch to her though. And I kinda like the tail.
