The Tides are a band made up of 5 teenage mermaids who are bound together by the power of friendship and rock n' roll!

These are part of my Merfolk roster of characters.

Lineup of the members. From left to right: Zo, Pearl, Crush, Stella and Urchidea.

Crush is the vocalist and the heart of the band. He is very loud and all his emotions are extreme, but he is the main source of energy and passion for the other members. Crush is a hermit crab!

Pearl is the drummer and brain of the group. He is very well articulated and takes care of the details that keep the band afloat. Pearl is an oyster!

Zo is the lead guitarist of the band. She is very charming and cute. Zo is the best of the group when it comes to intereacting with the fans, just don't get on her bad side... She is an axolotl!

Stella is the bassist of the Tides. She is the type of person who just looks like she hates everyone around. She is the most explosive one of the group and is fast to defend her friends. She is a starfish.

And finally, Urchidea, the second guitarist. She is the quiet one, always looking serious and spikey to talk to. But Urchi is dorky when confortable around her friends, they know she is trying her best. She is a sea urchin!
