Under the sea, in an idyllic and beautiful garden, stands a statue of a young man cut out of cold stone – for the Little Mermaid who knows nothing but the sea, the statue stands as an emblem of the mysterious over-world, a stimulus for imagination and sexual desire, an incentive for expansion of experience, and most predominately, an indication that something great and all-encompassing is missing from her existence. Traces of curiosity and a vague indication of the complexities of adult desires mark the child mermaid; in such a stage of development, the statue will suffice. However, as the Little Mermaid reaches puberty, the statue must allegorically come alive in order to parallel

Once a respected member of King Triton's royal sea court; Ursula, was banished from the underwater city when it was discovered she planned to overthrow his kingdom. As a result, Ursula began to practice dark magic and established herself as a beacon of hope to unfortunate Merpeople, making deals and business propositions, claiming she can make their dreams come true as long as they are able to complete their task. In the following years, the sea witch spent her time spying on Triton's family, waiting for her chance to exploit their weaknesses and take the king's throne.
