Cottontail

America's beloved mermaid, warm, wholesome, and quietly vulnerable.

Jodi Benson is best known as the voice of Ariel in Disney's The Little Mermaid, a role defined by sweetness, longing, and emotional vulnerability rather than power or dominance. Offstage, she is known for her deep Christian faith, her devotion to family, and her genuinely warm, unassuming presence — far from the spotlight-hungry diva. Like a cottontail, she is cherished and beloved precisely for her gentle, nurturing spirit rather than any commanding or flamboyant persona.
