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. There are probably mermaids in Wonderland as well so I actually think that under the sea there are no borders between realms. I guess mermaids are free to go wherever they want so that's how Ariel ended up in Neverland (she was probably in search for Eric). As for her being different from Neverland's mermaids, maybe she is a special mermaid and she is different from all other mermaids whether they are in Neverland or EF or anywhere, It is her love for a human tht changed her.
