Mermaid Princess Amelia – Best Mermaid Book Series For Teenagers

Shui Ying is a sixteen-year-old merman who embodies the poise and budding sophistication of Lucheng’s youth. As Ning Ning’s classmate at the music school and the son of her mother’s closest friend, he occupies a unique space in her life as a long-time confidant. He is described as elegant, with dark, neatly side-parted hair and a polished style that includes double-breasted jackets and ties. His relationship with Ning Ning has deepened beyond simple childhood friendship, hinted at by Qiuling’s observation that his navigation skills have “leveled up” and her “soul compass” may now point in his direction. He is privy to Ning Ning’s most intimate secrets, including the story of the fortune-teller composer and her musical “magic,” which he teasingly references. Shui Ying is supportive and protective, sharing a “quick glance” with Ning Ning that betrays their shared secret when Guiying becomes too inquisitive. He acts as a steadying presence for Ning Ning amidst her family chaos, their bond representing a sweet, nascent romance that stands in contrast to Guiying’s more complicated feelings for Jin-Hae. He is a symbol of loyal companionship and the gentle, exciting confusion of first love.
