Written by Mermaid Carlene
There were plenty of articles already about the friendship between Amelia and Edith; but in reality, there are many more beautiful friendships in “Mermaid Princess Amelia and the Lost Symphony.” Some of those are barely visible; others are visible, yet highly intriguing. In this short article I have gathered the ones which I found most interesting. Dive in!
- Amelia Quintana and Leticia Alvarez
Leticia doesn’t appear anywhere in the first novel, unless we count the video message she sent to Amelia. Nevertheless, Amelia always remembers about her, and mentions her several times. It seems that the bond between their countries was so strong, Antemidia and Gulf of Mexico had a personal union. If you’re not familiar with that, it’s a situation where both countries remain sovereign, but they share one ruler. This means, Amelia and Leticia both have some say in ruling each other’s countries. Amelia states that they “helped each other whenever they could,” and the Gulf of Mexico sent disaster relief to Antemidia after the earthquakes.
The news of Leticia’s illness greatly saddened Amelia, who insisted on knowing what happened, even though, she had her hands full of other duties. The fact that Leticia made the effort to send the video message to Amelia, despite her poor condition, shows she really trusted Amelia – so much, she entrusted her final wish to her (which was saving Kamadia).
Amelia didn’t hesitate even for one moment. That’s how important Leticia was for her. Amelia also knew well that Leticia cared about her, because as she talked to Kamadia, she told her: “Leticia always remembers her friends.” And of course, she was really glad to have saved her.
- Jet Mir Thakur and Sawa Zielinska
What’s between Jet Mir and Sawa is yet another example of strong, yet barely visible friendships that appear in “Mermaid Princess Amelia and the Lost Symphony.”
At first,Sawa didn’t trust Jet Mir. She wasn’t sure, if she should join him. It likely happened because of her younger sister Mewa, who wanted to travel around the world.
Sawa couldn’t officially let her sister join him, hence, she helped Jet Mir stage a kidnapping. What comes to mind is that at that point, she must have trusted Jet Mir very much.
It was probably the same for Jet Mir. Taking Mewa in meant that he had to care for her wellbeing and also living expenses.
This shows, something special must have happened between Sawa and Jet Mir that made them confide in one another.
We know that Jet Mir entrusted her to take care of the artifacts. He actually picked Amelia to be her accomplice, as we learn in one of the chapters.
It’s likely though that Sawa didn’t know about Jet Mir’s love for Edith. Otherwise, it’s highly likely that she would’ve done something to help them.
It’s also likely that Sawa knew, other mermaids would judge her for keeping in touch with Jet Mir – which was also why, she had kept that a secret.
Whatever the case, it’s obvious that she and Jet Mir trust each other very much.
- Taisuke Hayama and Jayden Katharos
Before Amelia’s arrival, Taisuke and Jayden were partners in the karate dojo in Santa Ana. It’s unknown if they met each other there, or earlier. Whatever the case, the two are quite close.
Jayden seems to have a good understanding of Taisuke’s skills and fighting style – cause later, when he and Amelia watched Taisuke’s fight with Cristóvão, Jayden knew that Taisuke would lose. Jayden also saw that Taisuke was going easy on Amelia in their fights.
It’s highly likely that he’s perfectly aware, how much Taisuke likes Amelia. Because later, as she asks for Jayden’s help, Jayden rejects her, letting Taisuke take that role.
It’s also worth noting that Taisuke confided in Jayden about his personal matters once. Jayden shared some of that information with Amelia, hoping, she’ll become his friends too.
The sentence which shows most how much Taisuke and Jayden care for one another, is when Jayden calls Taisuke his “bro” and tells him, he can always count on him. Taisuke responds “vice versa” which shows that he feels the same.
- Marzia Mond and Vera Fehér
Marzia Mond had several friends: Kamon Thani, Ailish Giomach, Estella Santoro… But the one she seemed to have cared about the most, was Vera Fehér.
How do we know it?
The answer is simple: Marzia gave her unwanted baby to Vera. Not Kamon, not Ailish, not Estella – but Vera.
Also, after Vera managed to escape from the Mausoleum, she instantly contacted Lumina. Since that moment, the two have kept in touch. This means, Lumina recognized Vera as an important person.
It’s also highly likely, Vera told Lumina about Amelia at some point. Perhaps though, Lumina deduced it herself that Adavan was Amelia’s father.
Whatever the case, Vera was Marzia’s closest friend from the KAVEM District.
- Lumina Mond and Tikalie Uxmal
The friendship between Lumina Mond and Tikalie Uxmal is one of the more intriguing ones.
We know almost nothing of its beginnings. It’s highly likely, though, that Lumina sought to become friends with the ruler from Antemidia, to find some clues about her sister.
The friendship between her and Tikalie must have been quite deep, since she travelled across the ocean to meet her.
Tikalie trusted Lumina a lot. They never stopped writing letters, not even after Tikalie feigned her death. In the one lone letter that Amelia happened to have found, Lumina wrote: “Your best friend always.” If you remember right, friendships hold a special space in Antemidians’ hearts.
Tikalie failed to show up on the appointment set by Lumina, which is a pity. Hopefully, we can see them reunite again in the next novels of the “Mermaid Princess Amelia” fantasy series.
