Ariel: a lighthearted fantasy OR a fantasy ramance
Ariel from The Little Mermaid (2023)

You can do either version of this prompt. A book doesn’t have to be both. So if you do a fantasy romance, it doesn’t have to be lighthearted. If you do a lighthearted fantasy, it doesn’t have to include romance.
