And I only sink deeper the deeper I think...
Siren is a SeaWing raised isolated deep underwater to keep safe from the War of SandWing Succession. They've only recently managed to surface, and, currently residing in Possibility with their partners Apex and Prismarine, they're slowly learning how to be a dragon.
- Bioluminescent scales nearly always active.
- Bioluminescent scale pattern may be kept simple or complex.
- Speech bubble symbols can be replaced by particles, runes/graphemes, bioluminescent scales, and the like.
Siren started life in the pitch black of the deep ocean, isolated by their parents even from the Deep Palace for fear of the Sandwing War reaching them. Without surviving siblings and with strictly their caretakers allowed to access the rest of dragonkind —through the Palace alone— they'd grown quite accustomed to the solitude.
Until the end of the War. The news came abruptly to their parent, but jarring as it was to them, who'd sunk the past seven years under water, it was nearly incomprehensible to Siren, to whom the War may well had been eternal. Still– whispers of a wider world stirred them to fleeing the ocean soon enough.
They were greeted by a world unrecognizable: horrifically war-torn, yes, but bristling with possibility. Moving came slowly, speaking Dragon even slower, but they were dead-set.
Gradually, and with the help of many Aquatic speakers, they picked up on the news of the growing town of Possibility at the intersection of a desert and a mountain range—all things they'd been eager to find on the surface, but, it turned out, hopelessly far from the Diamond Spray Delta where they'd washed up. Still, with no semblance of a home...
The inevitable journey was torturous on the SeaWing's body, completely stranger to bearing weight or harsh terrain, even as they drew their route to follow as much water as they could. They reached the outskirts within two months, battered but relieved, and dragged themselves into a clinic where they encountered Apex: a SkyWing nurse working under Mayfly.
Catching the stark similarities in their respective childhoods under the War, Apex reached out after their eventual dismissal from the clinic. Longing for company since their surfacing, Siren leapt at the chance and has lived with her since.
Several months after the fact, Siren met Prismarine on a rare visit to the seashore. Enticed —and perhaps a little pitying— by their attitude (and music!) they invited them to meet Apex. He's since also joined their piece of Possibility.
Comfortably tentative. Neither are exactly the assertive type, so motion is always slow. Alone time usually consists of slow evenings on the riverbank, dipping into stargazing more often than not.
Gently enthusiastic. They often find themselves playing each other's voice of reason, and Prismarine's support has greatly helped Siren come out of their shell. Time together is usually spent on their mutual hobby of making music.
