I thought about that too and why she seems to be different from other mermaids. Maybe Ariel was a human and then she was turned into a mermaid, not like in the original story that she was turned from a mermaid to a human. That would explain why she's not evil (at least in my opinion) and why she is not a native to Neverland. But of course that's just a theory I just came up with... I'm not even sure if it is logical :D While that would be a cool and unexpected twist, I doubt it would actually happen.

There might have been mermaids in the Enchanted Forest, for all we know. That would also explain, why Ariel is different from the Neverland mermaids. It would also explain, how she met Prince Eric, in the first place.
