I was wondering why Ariel had such a connection with the Northern Seas ( where Prince Eric's island kingdom is )
The live action detailed that Ariel's mother is a Princess of tbe Carribbean sea, which explains why Ariel had such an affinity with the Carribbean sea, where the Prince's island is there
So.....I think in the animation continuum, Athanea's kingdom is at Northern Sea between Scotland and Norway 😁😁😁😁😁
Like Atlantica is around the North Atlantic Ocean in Disney btw
I have been piecing together Athanea aside from her marrying Triton and have 7 daughters with him:
. Comes from the Northern Sea Kingdom where there are Viking merfolk
. If Trition is associated with Poseidon/Neptune, Athanea is associated with Aegir and Ran
. Athanea grew up trained in Viking sea magic and sea combat
. Athanea is also a sea witch but a GOOD sea witch
. Met Triton during her coming of age birthday party or smth and he was one of the contestant suitors.
. Athanea soon got serious with him as they exchange letters and such
. Upon the bethrothal arrangements, Athanea soon moved into the Atlantica Royal Palace. 6 months later she and Triton got married
. And the daughters came along and she has a special bond with her youngest child
. All of Triton's daughters resemble their mom in spades
. Athanea didnt just get passively impaled by pirates. She actually put up a fight and DIED saving her husband and daughters
Some Merfolk around the world:
Athanea was a regal and usually wise queen who is committed to keeping the family together and uphold the law of Atlantica, and boosted trade ties between Atlantica and the Northern Sea Kingdom
She is also a fierce mama bear ( ofc )
