Trueblood, HBO’s supernatural drama, had always managed to give its viewers a vibrant assortment of characters that kept the story interesting. Now, imagine introducing a mermaid into the rollercoaster that is Bon Temps, Louisiana. This fanfiction dream has the potential to churn the waters of the storyline and bring a ripple effect into the characterization and plot. Let's explore how the overlay of this new supernatural creature would influence the Trueblood universe.

Mythical Creature with a Splash

A mermaid, by the definition of folklore, is a mythical sea creature with a human head and torso but having a fish’s tail instead of legs. In Trueblood, our new mystical inhabitant is Aurelia, a rebellious mermaid who can change to human form at will, adding further charm to the already intriguing cast.

Maritime folklore often casts mermaids as seductive beauties that lure sailors to death. Aurelia, however, inspite of an enchanting beauty, is enormously empathetic, making it interesting to weave her into the existing plotline of Trueblood.

Romance Underwater

With the introduction of our mermaid, Aurelia’s romantic interests can bring distinct changes to the show's dynamic love interests. Would she share a love interest with Sookie, or will she fall for the irresistible charm of Eric Northman? Or perhaps, would she be drawn to the warm-hearted but unlucky-in-love Sam Merlotte?

As Trueblood has unpredictably intermingled the amorous relationships amongst its characters, Aurelia’s romantic affections could potentially steer the narrative into relatively uncharted seas.

True Blood and Sea Water: Mermaid Magic

In a world where magic is a prominent plot device, Aurelia's mermaid magic would be an exciting addition. While we've seen how fairies can emit light, vampires can glamour, and werewolves can transform, Aurelia's powers would be a refreshing dive. She could manipulate water, sing siren songs, and even control sea creatures.

However, it would be intriguing to witness how Trueblood approaches the concept of mermaid magic. Would Aurelia’s powers be a boon or a bane? Would they make her the strongest supernatural creature or leave her vulnerable?

Fish out of Water: Aurelia in Human Society

Aurelia's interaction with human society could add plenty amount of humor to the narrative with her literal ‘fish out of water�situation. Her first trip to Merlotte’s bar would be a fascinating watch. Mermaids not knowing about social norms can provide lots of awkward but funny moments.

Inherently, Aurelia's interaction with humans and her understanding of human life would be a grand narrative to explore. From adjusting to walking on two feet to trying to fit into human society, and possibly hiding her reality from humans could bring a new dimension to the plot.

Witch or Mermaid: The Mermaid-Witch Trials

Trueblood has dealt with witch trials, and the introduction of mermaids would definitely lead to discussions of witch-mermaid trials. Historical witch trials were horrific events filled with accusations, trials, and mass panic. Will Aurelia face the same discrimination witches faced, or will she manage to swim through these uncertain waters?

At the end of the day, this fanfiction dream brings the possibility of exploring larger themes such as prejudice and fear of the unknown, but through the eyes of a mythical sea creature seeking acceptance in a small Louisiana town.
