Coral Guardian Mermaid Maker
Coral Guardian is an anime mermaid maker with a job attached: the character you build guards a reef, and the game dresses her for the work.
Her face comes first, then the tail, four shapes running from a plain fin to a splintered double. Twelve hairstyles follow, dreads and beaded braids among them, each recoloured on a palette of its own. Then the reef reaches the wardrobe: jewelled feathers and Greek chitons, kimono sleeves, skirts layered in anemone and kelp, earrings of pearl and sand dollar, a harp or a sceptre for her left hand.
The last shelf is the one to linger on. A shark circling behind her, a jellyfish drifting past, a baby mermaid asleep in a sling against her chest, and eighteen undersea backdrops to set the whole scene against.

Frequently asked questions
What kind of mermaid game is this?
A character creator rather than a scenario. You build the face and the tail before anything is worn, and there is no score and no ending.
Can she have a companion?
Yes. A shark, a jellyfish or a shoal of shimmering fish can be set behind her, and there is a baby mermaid who rides asleep in a sling against her chest.
How many mermaid tails are there?
Four shapes: basic, splintered, snakey and a double fin, each recoloured separately from the rest of her.
Can I choose where she is?
Eighteen backgrounds, from open ocean and coral to sunken ruins, a throne room, a bedroom and an aquarium, plus a hundred small pieces you drag wherever you like.
Is it free, and is anything saved?
Free in the browser with no download and no account. Nothing is saved, so screenshot her once the scene is arranged.
