Mylie

Mylie is a fictional former mermaid and a minor character featured on the supernatural drama series Charmed. She was played by actress Jaime Pressly and appeared in the season five premiere episode, "A Witch's Tail (Part 1)".

Biography
Mylie was a mermaid who was gifted with immortality. Having lived an eternity never knowing love, she determined that the only way she could find her heart's desire was by becoming a human.

Mylie made a deal with a Sea hag, who granted her legs, effectively making her mortal, and thus removing her immortality. However, the spell would only last for thirty days.

She met and fell in love with a man named Craig Wilson. As the limitations of the spell drew to a close, Mylie sought the aide of the Charmed Ones. She reverted back to her mermaid state, but the Sea hag convinced her to give up her immortality. Mylie was on the verge of death, but the Whitelight known as Leo Wyatt brought Craig Wilson to her. The two found true love within one another, which caused Mylie to become permanently human, even though it meant giving up her immortality. Leo used his magic to heal Mylie of her pre-existing wounds, and Craig and she went off to live happily ever after.

Former abilities

 * Aquatic respiration: As a mermaid, Mylie was able to exist indefinitely under water.
 * Immortality: Mermaids are magical creatures, and as such, Mylie was immortal when she was a mermaid. When she became a human, she lost her immortality.
 * Superhuman durability: As a mermaid, Mylie was more durable than a normal human being, able to survive changing pressures in the ocean depths.
 * Transformation: As a result of a witch's spell, Mylie transformed from a mermaid into a human, and then back into a mermaid, then back into a human.

Notes & Trivia



 * The story of Mylie is very similar to that of the fairy tale The Little Mermaid by author Hans Christian Andersen, which was written in 1837. The tale was adapted in the 1989 animated movie The Little Mermaid, wherein the eponymous character was given the name Ariel. In both stories, the mermaid enters into a bargain with a sea witch to become human, which ultimately backfires due to the witch's machinations.
