Mermaids don't have legs. Who says she is stuck? Perhaps she is in the process of being swallowed or coughed up, a situation somewhat similar to the weekly transformation of Melusine.
If you've gone through the VMs cosmic comparison, it should be fairly clear that similarity of appearance is not a strong factor in the VMs, and seems in some instances to have been actively avoided. That may also apply here.
