Caren has a twin sister named Noel who is Mermaid Princess of the Arctic Ocean. After finding out that Noel has become captured by the sea monsters, Caren sought out on a quest to find her and meets Lucia, Hanon and Rina Tōin.

In the end, they work together to confront their enemy and Caren finally frees her sister, along with Coco, the Mermaid Princess of the South Pacific Ocean.Caren means pure.

Caren's Forms

Caren has three forms: her mermaid, human, and Purple Pearl Voice form.

Mermaid

Her mermaid form follows the trend of all the other mermaid princesses, with two pearl bracelets around her left wrist and tail.

Human

In her human form, her light purple hair becomes a wine purple color, and her eyes also become a brown color (in the manga, her hair in the human form is pink, her eyes are blue). She wears a necklace with her pearl inside it like the other mermaid princesses.

Purple Pearl Voice

Lastly, there is her idol form, her Purple Pearl Voice.

Her costume is a white short dress, with purple ruffles down the side.

Except for the colors, Noel's and Caren's dresses are similar. She has a beauty mark below her left eye.

Caren's Powers

Voice

In her idol form, like Lucia and the others, Caren can use her singing voice to get rid of enemies.Her song is Aurora no Kaze Ni Notte, and in the manga, at the end of her songs, she uses 'Cutie Hot Pitch'. In the anime, she uses 'Love Shower Pitch' with the rest of the mermaids.
