At the heart of Hija del Mar is the theme of identity, specifically the struggle of feeling "ordinary" in a world of extraordinary heritage. The protagonist, Targa MacAuley, has spent seventeen years believing she failed to inherit the siren gene of her mother, Mira. This creates a profound sense of isolation; Targa feels like an outsider both in the human world and in the magical realm her mother secretly belongs to. The narrative serves as a coming-of-age journey where Targa must navigate the fear that her lack of magic makes her a burden, chaining her mother to a terrestrial life she yearns to leave behind.
