Mini Bio: Tadpole is not your average Tidepool Mer, she is a scavenger for all things beautiful. Tadpole finds things that may not be the 'average' beauty to others, she turns them into beautiful creations. She has taken old netting that she had found and by adding small pearls she creatively wove together a bracelet. Tadpole is not above taking 'trash' and making it into a treasure. More so loving the challenge of making it beautiful. She has, in her backroom, so many different types of 'trash' ready to become treasures. She, however, is very playful and creative. Finding it easier to go with the flow over having things planned out and following it. If you are a very by the book person, Tadpole is willing to help you branch out of that comfort zone and enjoy life to the fullest. Tadpole might not understand the by the book mindset, but she does know that everyone needs to let their hair down at least once and be spontaneous once in a while. Tadpole is just very good at being spontaneous and would love someone who is willing to be a little spontaneous with her. She isn't asking for the moon but instead is asking for a little.
Tadpole, when not being spontaneous, is very dutiful to work. She has made countless treasures for her fellow Tidepool Mer from bracelets to engagement rings. When she does this, she asks a bunch of questions to the one wanting the gift in order to make it perfect. Her goal is to be sure whomever is going to have it will be overly joyful at getting it. This dutiful nature has made countless Tidepool Mer so happy that they have sent her pictures of them wearing the jewelry and/or engagement announcements with invites to the wedding. This has made Tadpole so happy knowing she is doing something worthwhile. She has always had a love of collecting 'trash' and recycling it. She jokes that she is a 'trash mermaid' cleaning up the tidepools she lives in one piece of trash at a time. These moments of going around collecting things is almost a meditative experience for Tadpole. Because when she finds things that are trash she is still collecting them to clean up her home. This has given Tadpole recognition - that she doesn't want - as well as purpose in her opinion. She hopes that someday if she has a small pod of her own that she can raise them to be just as conscious of the environment as she is.
In companionship, Tadpole would love someone who is a recycler like herself. Even if it is not in the traditional ways like bottles and cans. Someone who will take something and reuse it before discarding it. She would love to be with someone creative, no matter what that medium might be. Tadpole is looking for someone that, if they are unable to break away from the "by the book" mentality that they would give her a chance to help them. While this doesn't mean she wants to change you, she would like to try and help you experience life to the fullest. And sometimes that is letting your hair down and doing something random. In return, Tadpole is hoping to find someone who can be her best friend. Someone who she can talk to about her woahs and explore life with. She is not looking for a romantic relationship at this time but instead a platonic friendship that could include cuddling on the couch and watching TV or reading a book. She would also love to spread her metaphoric wings and find a new place to make different pieces of jewelry from different 'trash' that is found in our oceans and bodies of water.
