Foamla
The Little Mermaid Turning to Foam
I raised my voice—well, I gave it up. So I've no right to complain.

Profile
She traded her voice for legs, only for her beloved to marry another girl. Told she could turn back into a mermaid if she stabbed him with a dagger, she never did it in the end—not so much out of kindness as because making the decision felt like too much trouble. She's frozen forever mid-dissolve, turning to foam bit by bit from the tip of her tail, so her lower half is always fizzing and popping. With no voice to speak, she hoards every grudge 'left on read.' Which is exactly why she gets along so well with Seenzoned—two souls who can't put things into words.
Relationships with other curses
She sits with Seenzoned for hours, staring wordlessly at the sea. The Little Match Girl Ember often shares a bit of her dying flame with her.
How to deal with this curse
Foamla embodies the everyday frustration of "fairy tales." Bottled-up feelings only grow heavier. The moment you feel it, give it a name and write it out — that is the quickest way to make it lighter. Noroi Nikki is a completely private place to do exactly that.
