There’s a Little Ariel in All of Us

Aside from the whole sold-her-voice-to-become-a-human thing, Ariel is the everywoman. She’s full of passion, awkwardness, and she doesn’t always get things right the first time. Take a look to see how much we all have in common with this fiery mermaid:

 

We have a tendency to forget appointments.

We try to talk our best friends into our not-so-great ideas.
