Princess Ariel is the titular protagonist of Disney 's 1989 animated feature film The Little Mermaid. She is the seventh and youngest daughter of King Triton and Queen Athena, rulers of the undersea kingdom of Atlantica.

She is the fourth Disney Princess, the first Disney Princess to be developed during the Disney Renaissance, and the first Disney Princess since Aurora. The character is based on the title character of Hans Christian Andersen 's 1837 fairy tale "The Little Mermaid" but was developed into a different personality for the 1989 animated film adaptation.

She is the fourth official Disney Princess and the first to be developed during the Disney Renaissance. Ariel was the 16-year-old daughter of the sea king, King Triton, who hated humans. However, she wanted to know more about humans and was fascinated by them. Her goal was set when she fell in love with a human prince Eric.

Ariel is the main protagonist of Walt Disney's 1989 animated feature film The Little Mermaid and its 2008 direct-to-video prequel, Ariel's Beginning, and the deuteragonist of the 2000 direct-to-video sequel, Return to the Sea.

Ariel, the fun-loving and mischievous mermaid, is enchanted with all things human. Disregarding her father’s order to stay away from the world above the sea, she swims to the surface and, in a raging storm, rescues the prince of her dreams.

In the films and television series, she is the seventh-born daughter of King Triton and Queen Athena of an underwater kingdom of Merfolk. Shortly after becoming human, she marries Prince Eric, whom she rescued from a shipwreck, and together they have a daughter, Melody.
