People think of mermaids as graceful mythical sea creatures. But Ms Cara Nicole Neo knows being one is not as glamorous as it looks.

Since July 2013, she has been transforming into Mermaid Syrena for children’s parties and corporate events. Her feet blister when she swims in her silicon mermaid tail for long periods, and her eyes have become more sensitive to bright lights after prolonged exposure to chlorinated pool water.

Meet Cara, 21, a Singaporean university student who majors in English Literature and does belly-dancing twice a week.

A “major” Lord of the Rings geek, she has also taught herself to speak and write in Elvish. And oh, by the way, Cara is also a mermaid.

What began as a childhood fascination with the mythical aquatic creature with the body of a woman and the tail of the fish helped trigger her real-life transformation into her alter ego, “mermaid Syrena”, back in July.

That’s when she bought a swimmable fin tail while researching online for a Halloween costume.

“For me, mermaiding started as fulfilling a childhood dream. I have always been someone who isn’t afraid to express herself,” said Cara during a recent hour-long chat with Yahoo at a Holland Village cafe.

“I thought if I can make a living out of it, it would be a great bonus,” said Neo, as her long shiny hair cascaded down her maxi dress.
