Ursula the Sea Goddess

"Next time you claim to be me, you'll find out just how real I am."

Ursula is a goddess of the sea, famous and loved by all throughout the land. The thought to be a long dead myth grants mermaids a chance once a year to leave their tail and walk on land with legs, however, this comes at a heavy price for one of them.

Before the Curse
Ursula is a mythical goddess who is considered a myth by merfolk. Ariel prays to her for guidance so she can be able continue her life as a human and forever be with Prince Eric. Using this opportunity, the Queen appears as Ursula to Ariel and gives her a magic bracelet that gives the wearer Ariel's tail in exchange for their legs. Ariel, in an act of gratitude for Snow White's earlier help, gives the bracelet to Snow so that she can live her life free from the Queen while Ariel gets to be with Eric. However, Snow White reveals that Ursula has been dead for years, meaning the bracelet could not have come from her. Much to Ariel's shock, Regina shows up and admits this was a way to get Snow. She then gives Ariel an ultimatum: leave Snow with Regina and live happily with Prince Eric, or perish along with Snow. Ariel appears to choose the first choice, but then stabs Regina with a fork and removes the bracelet from Snow, and escapes into the water. After delivering Snow safely onto land, Ariel returns to tell Eric how she feels, but when she attempts to speak, she discovers that her voice is missing. Regina, standing on the docks, reveals she had taken her voice so Ariel can never tell Prince Eric how she truly feels. Ariel becomes devastated, and Regina proceeds to tell Ariel to leave. When Regina returns to her castle, she looks into her mirror and discovers Ursula herself, proving that Ursula is indeed real. Ursula then grabs Regina with her tentacles through the mirror itself, threatening a fearful Regina to never use her name again, for she will prove to Regina "just how real she is", before subsequently letting her go and disappearing.
