Background[]

Appearances[]

The Little Mermaid: Ariel's Beginning[]

The sisters appear at the beginning of the film enjoying some time on the surface with Triton and their mother, Athena, until the fun is interrupted by the approach of a pirate ship. Triton grabs several of the girls, including Ariel, and flees back underwater. Two more dive back in on their own, but Attina, the eldest and heir apparent, gets her tail fin stuck. Athena frees her to give her a chance to escape, but Athena herself is not so lucky when she goes back for the music box that Triton gave her, and is tragically killed when the pirates lose control of their ship, run her over, and then crash it into the rocks, breaking the keel and sinking it. Triton is so devastated by Athena's death that he bans music from Atlantica indefinitely.

The girls have to grow up without Athena in their lives as they try to convince their father to allow music in the kingdom again.

The Little Mermaid (TV series)[]

Just like in the original film, Attina, Alana, Adella, Aquata, Arista, and Andrina have minor roles in the prequel series, however, in some episodes, Alana and Arista respectively are supporting characters.

The Little Mermaid[]

Ariel has six older sisters named Attina, Alana, Adella, Aquata, Arista and Andrina. They perform the song "Daughters of Triton" as part of a concert that Sebastian organized for their father, King Triton, but the concert is abruptly halted when they discover Ariel not where she was supposed to be when it was her cue to appear, much to their shock and fear as this leaves Triton furious at his youngest daughter being a no-show and knowing the reason why. Later, Attina, Andrina, Adella and Aquata make a brief appearance together with Ariel, in what appears to be the palace dressing room. In this scene, Ariel emerges from behind a curtain of seaweed swimming dreamily and hums a few lines from "Part of Your World." The sisters notice a change in Ariel's mood and conclude that Ariel is in love. All six sisters appear again in the end of the film together with Triton, smiling and waving to Ariel after she marries Eric, wishing their youngest sister good luck with her new life as a human with their new brother-in-law.

The Little Mermaid II: Return to the Sea[]

In the second film, the sisters play a minor role with only Attina, Andrina, Aquata and Adella having dialogue.

Trivia[]

Each of Triton's daughters has different hair and eye color in the third movie, but in the first movie, they all have blue eyes.
Originally Aquata was the oldest sister and the heir to Atlantica's throne. However, this was retconned by Ariel's Beginning and switched her place with Attina.
Point of reference, Adella admits in Ariel's Beginning, to being two years older than Ariel, therefore, making her the fifth daughter.
Attina is somewhat of an authority figure among the sisters. This most likely stems from the fact that she is the heir to Atlantica's throne and thus has taken on her the responsibilities of a queen.
Ariel resembles her mother but acts like her father.
Arista is shown in the animated series to have Ariel's attitude just like her father.
Arista's bangs often change sides between scenes.
Tara Strong, who voiced Adella and Andrina, also voiced Melody.
Another feature between them is that six have different updo hairstyles, while Ariel is the only one with her hair down.
Like in the original story, they are all one year apart from each other.
Although Ariel's Beginning lists their birth order as Attina, Alana, Adella, Aquata, Arista, Andrina, and Ariel, the original film's song, "Daughters of Triton", strongly implies that their birth order was Aquata, Andrina, Arista, Attina, Adella, Alana, and Ariel.
Their tails are the different colors of the rainbow.
- Arista - red; Attina - orange; Adella - yellow; Ariel - green; Aquata - blue; Andrina - purple; Alana - pink.
In the prequel film, they have different eye colors.
- Attina - green; Alana - violet; Adella - teal; Aquata - brown; Arista - ice blue; Andrina - hazel; Ariel - blue.
Attina and Andrina are the only two of Ariel's sister's too appear in Kingdom Hearts II.
