perhaps she perfers living underwater now?
I don't know, this is a very silly idea for a thread, LOL!
Maybe. But, as always, these sorts of super-hero things throw up ideas that are quite fundamental and interesting, ie. not necessarily to do with mermaids and lightning. For example, here is someone whose ancestors made radical changes to the way people live. Now: given the choice, and given the obvious possibility that the old ways are possible again (ie. surface living with two legs), would someone like Lori go back? After all, the transformation was a survival mechanism, and that's all. But somehow these old reasons are forgotten, and now it becomes the only way, the right way. Back then, who amongst them would have chosen the transformation if a safe and happy surface life elsewhere could have been found?
