And for our Grand Finale of 2025's historical mermaids, the much requested: Iara, of Brazil.

In Tupi mythology there is a mermaid-like myth. A young woman named Iara is drowned, but returns as a half-fish maid known for drowning river-goers in retribution.

THIS MERMAID IS NOT IN THE mermaid colouring book! She's brand-new in comparison to the other mermaids in this series.

There are also PDF copies available!

Recently I was thnking of drawing flowers as hats, and I was thinking petunias look very hat-like. I also found out petunia as a word derives from a word from Tupi-Guarani language family, so I thought of drawing an anime girl from these groups of ethnicities with a petunia on her head (in MS Paint with mouse, as usual)

If I ger some details etc wrong, I apologize, please tell me and I will research and redraw / take notes.

We tend to think languages of different groups within the same family are so much more difficult to learn than languages of the same group until we try to learn a language that is actually from a different family

Sure, as a Portuguese speaker, it's harder to learn English than to learn Spanish, but it doesn't compare to trying to learn Inuktitut or Japanese, than you find out English and Spanish are actually more of less at the same level of difficulty

When you start studying Chinese or Tupi you think "dang, it's not enough to replace a word for another and change word order, I have to think about the world around me in a completely different way, I have to relearn from scratch what it means to speak a language"
