Later on, when Ariel begins acting strange, Andrina is the first to figure out what is happening, and tells her father that Ariel is obviously in love. However, she, like the rest of the family, has no idea that Ariel has fallen in love with a human. After this point, Andrina appears in cameos alongside her sisters. At the end of the film, she is seen waving goodbye to Ariel as she and Eric leave for their honeymoon on their wedding ship.
