Category:Half Breed

The reality was that there had been no known cases of half-breeds in the mer-kingdom precisely because firstly, merfolk rarely ever appear before humans let alone fall in love with them. This was fueled by merfolk memories of the war humans waged against the merfolk centuries ago, which was passed down to every merfolk. The second reason was that none of the half-breeds could ever make it so deep into the ocean and therefore lived on land all their lives, if they even lived. Merfolk-human half-breeds were fraught with disabilities, most of them dying from childbirth, others killed to end their suffering when they were born with tails that could never shift into human legs yet their lungs could not survive under water, or where their bodies were covered in scales that wouldn't disappear but they had human legs and no tail. Considering this, Zhi Lan who was born with a perfectly normal human appearance, and has the ability to shift into his merform completely could be said a miracle.

However, all half-breeds shared the same trait when it comes to their eyes in that they were all born with heterochromia.
