3. Ariel was from before the curse. She found a necklace that I guess was a curse removal (Mermaids are likely just cursed humans anyway). I think just lost her necklace and that's that. But she had her voice

How come? Regina placed a spell on her. (Deity Usula I guess cursed the mermaids to be half fish), so the necklace got rid of both. When Ariel lost the necklace, she lost her legs and voice. It wasn't a spell. Regina took her voice. She literally said "Your voice? I took it" in 3x06.

But yeah, I guess that should work.

But then again, this is another case of poor writing because we are left to assume a lot of things, that are not even explained in the episode. Umm, it's magic. Unless you think Regina physcially ripped out her vocal chords. It's not poor writing. It's simply applying a systematic process.
