In a lovely little underwater kingdom on a lovely little planet, a lovely little princess was born...
Except the kingdom was not so lovely, not even the rulers, for they were every cruel.
The lovely little girl was born with a curse that made her stronger than most.
The not so lovely parents of the lovely little girl used her as a weapon, holding her high above the rest so she could squash them down. The lovey little girl grew into a sad mermaid who desired only to be free.
Poor Cordelia, born in a cruel kingdom and forced to treat 'enemies' poorly, but soon, she found some people that made the cruelty in her past go away.
But the past, holds on tight.
