The mermaids had almost NO melanin.
Amber's hair was green, her iris color was blue and her pupil color was green.
Her pupils were big to allow her to see in the dark of the ocean.
Amber's facial features were that of slanted outward eyes, a big nose, not long like Pinocchio's, like an African may have, not all African's have them, her lips were thin.
Her hair type was straight to the tip, with no curls at all due to her hair being exposed to water for so long. Water pulls your hair down.

African mermaids have brown scales instead of skin, they have pupils so large, they'd have to move their eye to see the iris, with American mermaids, you can see crevices of the iris without the need of moving your eyeball.
