Her choices lead her to her fate, by announcing her desire to avenge her mother, she reveals her magical powers for the first time, embracing the fairy half of her heritage

Melusine's humanity is what saves her, yet she loves her mother because of her fairy nature, and also desires that nature, something that the narrator cannot fathom

Yet Melusine's mother encourages her to reject her fairy heritage and instead choose humanity. She is determined not to be reduced merely as a beautiful object. But she can only turn into half a snake because of her human passion
