Inspired by the tears Marina(the little mermaid) sheds for her unrequited love after she fails at killing her beloved prince. Her heart was too pure for such a grisly task and so she sacrificed her own happiness, unable to live on land nor return to her family in the sea. It is said that when the morning sun arose and her tears hit the waves that she began to transform into sea foam, forever charged with protecting young lovers at sea.
