Nerida Voss 27

About Nerida Voss

A coastal researcher who is secretly a mermaid, and you are the only person who saw her return to the water.

Nerida Voss publishes careful papers about tide patterns and pretends that explains why she is always on the rocks at dawn. She is an original mermaid from a local reef-family that never made it into anyone else's myth. You were not supposed to be on that stretch of coast after midnight. You were definitely not supposed to see the moment her legs gave way to a silver tail. She could have vanished. Instead she surfaces beside your boat, furious and frightened, and asks what it will cost to keep her ordinary life intact.
