If it was one thing Ursula understood, it was people. And people, well, they could be shallow. They trusted beauty more than their own instincts more often than not, for if someone was beautiful and seemed kind and sweet, how could they possibly have any dark intentions? And while the sea witch considered herself a beauty in her own way, she wasn't stupid; she knew quite well the affect her appearance had on people. Usually, she'd work the fear and horror to her advantage, throw people off their game.

But now it was time for a different tactic.

She'd already made her presence known in her true form. Unsurprisingly, there were quite a few who immediately distrusted her (that keybearing brat and his friends hadn't helped matters, to say nothing of Triton's daughter). So Ursula had spent the better part of the day collecting what spell ingredients she could and bringing them back to her makeshift lair outside the city. It had taken more time to adapt a certain spell to the current circumstances, but she always had a natural aptitude for magic and, before long, the spell was competed.

Ursula was now disguised as a beautiful human woman; pale, fresh skin replaced weathered lavender and slick black, her hair became long, thick and dark, glossy in the light. Her face had a noble, classic beauty that would appeal to the most people. She was clothed in a purple corset and a full, flowing periwinkle dress that bared her graceful arms. The only similarity to the sea witch's true appearance was the seashell necklace she still wore...and the color of her eyes, which was the purple-grey of a tumultuous stormy sky.

She made her way into the city, smiling sweetly at the few townspeople who glanced her way. Before long, she was in the city's park, the false sun setting, a calm, warm breeze stirring the false trees.
