Chinese Mermaid -《 鲛人 》- Jiaoren
The Chinese mermaid is called Jiāorén/鲛人. In addition to their beautiful appearance, they are also outstanding craftspeople. According to “In Search of the Supernatural/搜神记”, a 4th-century compilation of legends about ghosts and spirits, Jiaoren lived in the South Sea, spent their days weaving cloth, and if they cried, their tears would turn into pearls.

hamelin_born angelrider13 does this sound like Sweat Tears or the Sea AU to you? because it sure does to me! Pearl farming is now another craft/trade I want to suggest for the Seaborne and their descendants.

Ooooh, yes! But let’s shake it up a bit - the seaborne love non-white pearls. They cherish pearls that are not perfect spheres.
Basically - the seaborne adorned in non-white, non-spherical pearls. Yes.
