Emma, Cleo and Rikki are sixteen year old girls growing up on the sun-drenched beaches of the Gold Coast. Emma is confident, brilliant, responsible, and athletic, Cleo is slightly insecure, sweet, and awkward while Rikki is the aloof and rebellious new girl.
The girls find themselves stranded at sea one day, floating towards the mysterious Mako Island. The three girls explore the eerie jungle-covered island before becoming trapped in an ancient cavern under a volcano. Discovering an underwater channel, they decide to swim to safety. As they enter the pool, the light from a full moon illuminates the water, creating a mysterious glow.
Emma, Cleo and Rikki get off the island as fast as they can and back to "normal" life. However, the girls discover life is never going to be normal again; ten seconds after they touch water, they turn into mermaids. After further experimentation, they find they have supernatural powers; Emma can freeze water, Rikki can boil water and Cleo can manipulate the amount and shape of water.

Emma, or Em to her friends, first discovers herself being a mermaid one morning while swimming at the beach. She has the ability to freeze any object or liquid containing water. In the second season, under the power of a full moon aligned with various planets, she develops a much stronger icy power and, with help from Rikki & Cleo, has the power to summon on a hurricane like storm. She liked Byron in the first season. Also, she eventually found love in boy named Ash, who is currently her supervisor at the Juicenet café and was previously a riding instructor who taught Emma's little brother to ride a horse.

At the end of season two, she reveals her secret to Ash.

Indiana Evans
Date of Birth: 27 July 1990
She always enjoyed acting and began performing by the age of five in front of friends and family. By the time she was seven, she was already taking dance lessons (ballet, jazz, tap) and performing recitals in front of larger groups. Although she liked to dance, she also liked to act, sing and play drums.
In 2002 she got an agent (Kermond Management) and soon landed her first commercial (for Asguard), which aired in Australia – but that was the first of many such as Kool Aid. She also began to do some modeling as well. These smaller appearances blossomed into much larger roles.
She first appeared on a television show in 2003 on an episode of All Saints, then later that year received the full time role of Abby Oakly on the television series Snobs. [Fast fact: she learned horse riding and surfing for this part]
In 2004, she received her break-out role as Matilda Hunter on the popular (in AU and UK) TV series Home and Away. When her agent called to tell her she got the role, she was so happy that she began to run around her house...
