"Princess Hwangok" from the Historical Mermaid Collection is inspired by a traditional South Korean legend :

" Once upon a time, in the country of mermaids known as the Narandaguk Kingdom, Princess Hwangok ("Yellow Jade") married King Eunhye of the Mugung Kingdom of Dongbaek Island, who had been crowned king with Heaven's blessing. The royal couple lived a happy life together, but Princess Hwangok missed her home terribly. Then, one day, the Turtle that used to serve the princess in her homeland came to see her and said, "Your Highness's Grandmother Great Dowager Queen of the Sujeongguk Kingdom gave me this piece of marble to deliver to Your Highness. Please hold it up to the moonlight on the night of the full moon." And so, when the Princess held the marble up to the light of the moon, the image of her beloved Narandaguk Kingdom appeared shining and resplendent on its surface. At that moment, the princess's legs turned into fins and she was able to swim freely under the sea. Ever since, there has been a legend that a mermaid lived in the waters around Dongbaek Island. "

I loved the legend so much, and it reminded me of my own experience living in a faraway country, which inspired me to bring her to life!
