Merfolk, merpeople, mermaid and mermen. It's all the same in this situation

As many folklore will inform, a mermaid is an aquatic creature with the head and upper body of a human and the tail of a fish. Mermaids appear in the folklore of many cultures worldwide, including the Near East, Europe, Africa and Asia. The first stories appeared in ancient Assyria, in which the goddess Atargatis transformed herself into a mermaid out of shame for accidentally killing her human lover. Mermaids are sometimes associated with perilous events such as floods, storms, shipwrecks and drownings. In other folk traditions (or sometimes within the same tradition), they can be benevolent or beneficent, bestowing boons or falling in love with humans.

In all reality merfolk are essentially good in nature. They live in the underwater kingdom of  Atlantis like most of the creatures of the sea. They are the one who are primarily accidentally discovered by the human race because they like to help the humans. They run Atlantis.

Unlike the common lore, mermaids can come in many different genders, sexuality's and colors
