Hailey Rogers is a teenage human girl, a scuba diver, and the tritagonist, who is portrayed by Joanna 'JoJo' Levesque. She is best friends with Claire and Aquamarine. She is moving to Australia, but doesn't want to. Aquamarine however grants them a wish if they help her. Their wish is to keep Hailey from moving away. She is mad about life (as said by Claire). In the end, she realizes that her mom really wants to move to Australia for a job. So she doesn't use that wish and it's unclear when she's going to see Claire and Aquamarine again. They might use their wish to travel and see Hailey when she has moved. She seems to be a tomboy and is also 15 years old (She is the same age as her best friend Claire). It is unknown if she ever sees her friends again, but it can be assumed that she does.

One night, after a violent storm, Hailey wishes for a miracle that will make her mother change her mind about moving, and so she and her best friend, Claire Brown find a mermaid named Aquamarine in the swimming pool of their beach club.
The mermaid tells the girls that she needs to prove to her father that true love does exists in 3 days or she'll be married with a merman who she hates. She promised that if they helped the her out, then they would get a wish.
Feeling like this was their last hope, they introduced the mermaid to Raymond, so Aquamarine could possibly fall in love with him. The first time Aquamarine and Raymond meet, she asks him if he loves her which he say no and told her that she was hot.
The three decide to make Raymond fall in love with Aquamarine in the next three days. They use strategies found in teenage magazine. So, Aquamarine, Claire and Hailey proceed to stalk Raymond around town. At a street fair, Raymond gives Aquamarine an inflatable shark, and buys her cotton candy.
He mentions wanting to see her at a party the next night and she runs away, fearing the sunset that causes her legs to transform back into a tail. Claire and Hailey show Aquamarine a water tower for her to spend the night in and promise to visit her the next day.
In the morning, the three take a bus to Tampa for a classic shopping montage to obtain clothing for the party.
After three days are up, Raymond still has not fallen in love with Aquamarine, and her father calls her back home in a giant storm.
Hailey and Claire swim after Aquamarine after she tries to defy her father again and they discover the meaning of platonic love. Aquamarine's father is satisfied and the girls receive their wish.
They decide to not use it to keep Hailey moving away and instead they part ways with Aquamarine, with promises that they will remain friends despite their distance from each other.
