Ariel is the youngest of King Triton's seven daughters (being 16-years-old). She is adventurous and inquisitive about the world of humans, a fascination which angers her father as merfolk are forbidden from making contact with the human world. She develops a close relationship with a crab called Sebastian, while her best friend is a fish named Flounder. Ariel salvages human items and keeps them in a secret grotto as part of her collection.

Over the course of time Ariel saves the life of a human prince named Eric and falls in love with him. She calls on Ursula, the sea witch, to trade her voice for legs for three days in order to get a chance to win Eric's heart, unaware that the agreement is part of Ursula's bigger plan to trap Ariel's father, King Triton. Ariel almost manages to win the agreement by getting the "kiss of true love", but is stopped by Ursula's underhanded tactics.

When the three day limit has passed, Ariel returns to mermaid form and is claimed by Ursula. King Triton trades himself for Ariel, enabling Ursula to claim the trident. In the battle that follows, Eric destroys Ursula. In the end, Ariel is transformed into a human permanently by King Triton's trident, and marries Prince Eric.
