She is the princess of the peaceful northern ocean which came on ground to research from its pink pearl that she had offered seven years earlier to a young boy than she had saved drowning. She realizes well quickly that she is in possession of Kaito, a young talented surfer who only dreams to find the siren which had saved the life to him. But Luchia cannot acknowledge to him that it is it because it disparitrait immediately in bubbles. She is satisfied to try to render comprehensible to him because if he guesses it all alone, there will be no problem. This is why when it is in its shape of siren it asks him to seek it.
Thanks to its pink pearl, Lucia can change and sing to fight the " Dark Lovers" who want to capture the 7 once joined together sirens because, the seven pearls will reveal Aqua Regina Sama, the queen of the oceans who only will be able ralener the order in the marine world. The mission of Lucia is to push back the enemies and to join together the seven sirens and to be the first to awake Aqua Regina.
When Luchia arrives on ground, it is very awkward in all the directions of the term. Progressively of the series it takes more insurance and " humanize". Very attached to Kaito, it does not support that another girl approaches too much close to him and it has tendency to lining her nose in her business much what brings more than one trouble to him. But its kindness, its kindness and its large heart come to end from all the difficulties
Hanon Hosho is 13 years old and starting from episode 3, it settles with the hotel with Nikora, Taki and Lucia. It is the princess of the southern Atlantic Ocean and it arrived on ground following the destruction of its palate by Gaito and its henchmen. It becomes very friendly with Luchia as of the first episode, when it takes it along to make shopping in order to allure Kaito. It does not reveal in Luchia its nature of siren immediately it waits to be sour until it is too.
As much Luchia is sharp and acts with the instinc, as much Hanon is reflected and posed, can be because of the fact that it had its ceremony of passage to the old adult contrary with Luchia. Also comes it can be its maturity from its larger " humanité" since it with the air to be for a rather long time on ground. Its centers of interest are those of very human of its age the fashion and the boys ^^.
Hanon is in love with its professor of music Mr. Mitsuki, which she baits herself to call by her Tarou first name, which in Japan is done only if one is very close to a person, even of its age. Although Mr. Mitsuki does not feel anything for it if not the attention a professor for his pupil, Hanon is stuck to him and ^^" becomes limiting painful about it;. But she really likes it, of a completely not involved love, which will save the life of its love on several occasions. Because as soon as it is about him, Hanon is ready with all and she listens to only its heart with the risk to even endanger herself.
Its optimism with any test and its gaity are its major assets which make of it a character very attaching and sympathetic nerve.
In the Pure season, Hanon is separated from Mitsuki sensei, because that Ci flew away in Germany. But it becomes acquainted with Nagisa, a young boy of its school with which it quickly becomes close and in love, even if it refuses to acknowledge it… It matured however well and is sometimes quite astonishing.
- Lina Toin North Atlantic .perle: Green
Lina Toin, although being in the same class that Hanon and Lucia seem much more mature. It is the princess ocean the North Atlantic. She only lives in a very green apartment (logic ^^) what shows its great independence once more. With its first appearance, it is rather antipathetic, it badgers Kaito, while being persuaded which it makes only one and even nobody with Gaito, so much the resemblance is striking between them two. She starts by being distant with Luchia and Hanon.Ce is only in the episode according to whether she understands that she has better time to be made the allied ones and even friends, while realizing how much they need to tighten the elbows in order to come to end Gaito.
But very quickly, Lina becomes the big sister, the confidante of both others, always lends to give a council or to comfort when they are in the sorrow, in particular with respect to Kaito or of Tarou although she even refuses to succumb to the love although its great beauty and its style ammènent many applicants to him. But it is not completely of ice vis-a-vis the fine young men and in particular vis-a-vis Kaito but it hides it by respect for Luchia.
The greatest defect of Lina is that of living all the time in the past and in particular at the time of the destruction of its palate and the sacrifice of Noelle to save it whereas Gaito was about to capture them both what will be reproached to him wrongfully by Karen and Lina will not have of cease to avenge his/her friend
Of cold character and who are afraid of his feelings, Lina " decoince" start to laugh and joke. She is really the prototype of the very good friend, always with listening and ready to render service with a large heart like Ca!! ^^.
In the Pure season, Lina changes much, it becomes merrier since it finally released her dear friend of Gaito, and it finds finally the love in the person of Masahiro Hamasaki which it likes of a sincere love but as usual, it hiding place her feelings and refuses to acknowledge it…

Sirens
- Arctic Noelle. bead: Indigo
Better friend of Lina, Noelle is regarded as the twin sister of Karen (which calls it Onee-Chan), without doubts because they are each one a princess of the one of the two poles of the ground. The sirens of the kingdom of Noelle are the sirens dark blue. Noelle is very altruistic has to want to help the others or to save them with the risk to endanger itself it even. It is as that which it was sacrificed to the place of Lina when they were attacked by Gaito and Yuuri, him to allow to run away themselves and go to find the other sirens. It is locked up in a column of glass with Coco in the palate of Gaito, which has blow its pearl.
In the pure season Noelle returns with the different ones and like Karen and Coco one discovers it completely different from the short outline that one had had in the season Pich… Farceuse, funny but also very cultivated, it spends its spare time to the library to document itself… It is considered it regrettable that it is with Coco not to only have a song suitable for it…
Twin sister of Noelle, Karen cannot forgive in Lina the capture of the princess of the blue pearl dark. This is why it remains most of the time with the variation of the three others and joint with them to only fight itself. Gradually it understands that Lina is not responsible for the capture of Noelle, and that it wants also to save it. Karen blow will approach the others, and will assist them of sound better.
In the season Pure Karen returns with Noelle and Coco for the summer holidays and during some other episodes and its personality is completely different from that which one knew in the first season… It is a true clown who makes the 400 blows with his two friends, it tries to allure Masahiro to test its love for Lina, it tries to make Hanon jealous, so that it acknowledges its love for Nagisa. but the heart of Karen seems taken by Subaru with which it cannot acknowledge its love…
Coconut, princess of the yellow pearl, it was also captured by Gaito and is locked up in a column of glass in its palate. Friend of childhood of Sara, it is also the only one which is able to include/understand it and to reason it in the name of their friendship. She reproaches the misfortune of Sara and her reversal of with dimensions of Gaito. It is it which succeeds in making him change opinion and to convince it to fight Gaito with the other sirens. She knows all the history Sara and it is her which explains to Luchia and the others why she suffered so much.
In the season Pure Coconut is a character more present and more important… It is present in particular in the episodes of the summer because it comes to spend the holidays with Luchia and the others and it forms with Noelle and Karen, the " trio infernal" who multiplies the silly things and makes well us laugh. One thus discovers a new facet of the Coconut character which seems a character sympathetic nerve well.
Sara is a siren well with share. Approximately 19/20 years old, it is at the same time the last princess to be appeared but the first siren after the three principal ones, in a flash at the time of episode 9, but it is especially a quite mysterious character who belongs to allied of Gaito, and this as of the episode 22.Toute vêtue of white with a veil on the head and it does not reveal its face before episode 35.
Indeed Sara is the princess of the Indian Ocean, the siren that Tarou-Chan met at the time of its voyage to Hawaii. They loved each other and lived a beautiful story until the day or Mr. Mitsuki returned at his place without explanations. The pain and the fact of being made give up transformed the love of Sara of hatred and it " was passed; with dimensions obscur" while being combined with Gaito, it becomes its refuge, the only one which can comfort it and to comfort it failures of Dark Lovers.
Sara was the cause of the disorder in the kingdom of the sirens and the destruction of the palates of the other sirens, since it broke the seal of Aqua Regina.
In spite of the evil that Mr. Mitsuki could make him, Sara remains to him very attached, divided between the love and hatred…. It captures it and locks up it to make him play piano for it for always, as at the time of their love or he played for her with the moonlight. It is Hanon which will make him carry one out selfishness and its cruelty, by not sacrificing love for Tarou whereas that Ci does not return its love to him.
At the time of the final choice, Sara will decide to remain with Gaito in its palate, because it knew to be present for it and to fill the vacuum left by Tarou. Their very major friendship replaces the love.
Sara does not disappear completely from the series, it often reappears in the pure season like guides other sirens, in the form of spirit.
Seira is the new princess Orange, the successrice of Sara in the Kingdom of the Indian Ocean. It was not born yet strictly speaking since in the majority of all the pure season it appears in the dreams of Luchia. Indeed, the day or Luchia went in the palate of the Indian Ocean for the advent of Seira, it was attacked by Black Beauty Sisters, and the young siren which was in the train of naîte was absorbed by Mikeru and lives inside it during all the Pure season… In order to make it reappear for good, Luchia and the others must recover pieces of its heart which are as pearls oranges which shine in the wings of Mikeru and which it drops with a feather as soon as it was overcome by the sirens…
Indeed Gradually, of gamine capricious and egoistic, Seira goes to become being full with compassion and feelings, that she did not know before since she did not have a heart, but as pieces are reinstated in the orange pearl that Luchia keeps preciously, she will evolve/move and to become an important character which always appears to comfort and give again courage with Luchia and the others, she will learn how to smile and will show herself more human…
