From the watery depths they rise, bringing secrets of the deep blue sea with them.

A duo calling themselves the Mutiny Mermaid Pod have surfaced and will be working their magic at the annual Penn Cove Mussel Fest Mar. 2-3, and the first-ever Whidbey Ren Faire in late May.

The group, currently comprised of Phoenix the Siren and Corra the Heavy Metal Selkie, are sensory friendly and want to “create a positive atmosphere and spread kindness and fun throughout the community.”

“We want to welcome all regardless of who they are or what they look like,” said Phoenix Da Costa-Ford.

“What secrets do I possess? Come closer for the answer, if you dare.”

It’s a siren’s life for her

Phoenix Da Costa-Ford, livin’ the mermaid life.

There’s magic in the air, and the sea.

Phoenix Da Costa-Ford — Wolf Mom, master scoreboard operator and all-around mega talent — is embracing a second persona as a bewitching mermaid.

She was in full costume Saturday at “Ye Old Yarrrd Sale” at The Enchanted Beedle, a gift boutique in Coupeville.

Da Costa-Ford and friends were helping raise money for a Renaissance Fair scheduled for Memorial Day Weekend 2024, which will go down at the Whidbey Island Fairgrounds and Events Center.

It’ll be the first local Ren Faire in close to a decade.

“I know that for years people on Whidbey have been begging for a Ren Faire,” Da Costa-Ford said. “And we are now underway to making that dream come true!”

While selling mermaid-themed merchandise, she also dressed the part, bringing the magic of the sea alive.

“At the yard sale I met not only excited kids but excited adults as well, who were living out their dream of meeting a real mermaid!” Da Costa-Ford said.

“I had the best time bringing smiles to our Coupeville community and now I know for sure that this is the career for me!”

Da Costa-Ford, who has launched an Instagram page to celebrate her mermaid lifestyle, is available for birthday parties and events as well.
