Introducing “Miriam”. Miriam is a shy little mermaid, but once you get to know her, she really comes out of her shell!

She lives in the shallow rock-pools of Cornwall, England, but hopes to one day live in the Black Lake of Hogwarts Castle.

The greatest of all Miriam’s talents, her hair is magic and can grant wishes.
