Best sisters, in any universe

(A.k.a: ever wonder what happens when a mermaid and a human have kids together?)

((as always, click for better quality))

#Suiren looks bigger than a normal kid bc mermaids grow faster. also she gets the insane upper body strength to pull herself up from ghazan #my art #the legend of korra #original characters #seeds of the red lotus #sotrl suiren #sotrl midori #nia’s mermaid au #don’t ask how the biology of it all works idk and honestly idc #but yeah basic concept is that ming-hua’s a mermaid and ghazan’s a human and they fell in love and these two are the product of that #but since suiren in sotrl takes much more after her mom. in this au she was born basically indistinguishable from a normal mermaid #while midori is closer to her dad so she was born without a tail BUT with scales and gills and weird half-human half-fin ears and also fangs #the two were completely inseparable at children. always playing and swimming around together under their parents’ watchful eyes #they probably had a small shack in a secluded cavern near the water where ghazan and midori lived so that they’d be always close to- #ming-hua and suiren who can’t be too far away from the ocean. and so that the girls would get equal love and attention from both parents #of course that all changed once… something happened to ghazan and ming-hua #idrk what bc the avatar doesn’t exist and even if it did ming-hua can’t really go after her can she #well SOMETHING HAPPENS and the girls are left alone. Midori is presumed to be human and placed with haya. no one knows about suiren #Haya knows full well of her brother’s… endeavours and forces midori to hide everything she got from her mother. scaring her with stories- #-of scientists who’d wanna dissect her or smth. she knows about renny but chooses not to acknowledge her existence #midori spends all her free time at the abandoned pier talking to her sister but she doesn’t swim anymore #suiren is taken in by the other merpeople but they don’t like her bc she ‘carries the poisonous song in her throat like her serpent mother’ #as my good friend said. basically she’s a siren and everyone thinks she’s a monster born for murder and destruction so she’s an outcast #‘that wretched halfling is an omen of death and will doom us all’ that wretched halfling is currently singing to her sister to calm her down #but as the years go by Suiren and Midori talk less and less bc they think it’d be better for the other that way #look no one said aus I make have to be happy #oh also I find it hilarious how suiren insults kuvira by calling her a biped bc… renny darling #bold words from someone who’s half biped #yeah she hasn’t seen her father in 16 years and she and midori have long since drifted apart but she’s still half human lmao #we all know renny is bad at insults but come on. at least pick something that doesn’t also technically apply to you too
