It was June 10th, 2000 and on this day a beautiful baby girl was born, but she wasn't an ordinary girl, she was a mermaid princess: with a human mother and a merman father. This was an important day as know there was a mermaid heir to the throne of the sea world.

"So what shall we name her? " the mother smiled down at her beautiful baby.

"Well we have Neptune, what about Ocean?" the father chuckled.

"I love it" the mother's eyes showed kindness "I just hate the fact she won't stay with me..."

"We will visit whenever we can, I promise," he said kissing her forehead and taking the sleeping merchild out of her mother's arms. Since Ocean was a merchild, she would not survive very long in the human world so needed to be in the saltwater in order to stabilize her. "Goodbye, my love" he smiled but his eyes showed sadness before diving back into the sea taking his child back to his kingdom.

A couple of years later when Ocean was 2 and still too young to remember anything, they went to visit the other half of their family. In the arms of her mother, like she was a normal child. Just a normal day until Neptune came home from playing with some of his questionable friends.

"I HATE Faunus!" He shouted as he entered the house. "I HATE them! They are bad people!" Neptune only being 3 himself didn't really know the true meaning behind the words he was saying. For him to only grow up to regret what he said as one of his best friends is a Faunus.

"Neptune!" His mother was shocked that her own son would say something like that. "That's not a very nice thing to say."

"Neptune" the man sighed, "You do know your sister and I are Faunus?"

"Yes, and I hate you!" He screamed again, now outraging the king.

"Neptune!" He raised his voice.

"You're not my Dad! I hate you and I hate her!" Neptune had been playing with some friends from school who ended up teasing and picking on a Faunus. So in order for Neptune to fit him, he decided he too didn't like Faunus to please his friends, this means tearing their family in two.

With that Oceans father picked his daughter up. "While he has that attitude, I don't want my daughter to be near him."

"But, she's my daughter too!" The mother was shocked her baby was going to be taken away. Ocean made a few cute baby gurgles before being carried out by her father.

"I'm sorry." He said before taking his daughter back to Oceania where Ocean was kept away from her mother for the rest of her life.

She was brought up believing all humans were bad and all they wanted was to see Faunus suffer and skin mermaids to make dust. As she grew older each year, her hatred for her brother became stronger. She wanted nothing to do with him as much as he wanted nothing to do with her.

Oceania was the underwater kingdom of the merpeople, ruled by the Sea King; Adamaris and his only kin who was Ocean. Oceania was just off the coast of Menagerie and both civilizations drew close due to their Faunus heritage and hatred of humans.

Every year since Ocean could remember her people of the land Faunus would have a celebration and her people would always put on water shows and tricks while the others performed land tricks.

This had always intrigued Ocean, what it would be like to walk on two legs, eat dry food, see the sunrise and set over her home, see animals and the trees. As she got older, she cared less and less for her father's claims about humans. She would be able to just fit in, after all, she could look like just a normal human and no one would know she is a Faunus. Also, they had the white fang to look after them!
