GENDER: Female.
AGE: Unknown though she appears quite young.
BIRTH DATE: Unknown.
BIRTH PLACE: Whitecap Bay.
SEXUAL ORIENTATION: Heterosexual.
MARITAL STATUS: Single.
WE KIDNAP AND RAVAGE AND DON'T GIVE A HOOT
LIKES/DISLIKES:
Likes:
-The ocean. Syrena would rather be under the waves of the sea than on land. Having legs and the feel of earth beneath her, feet, is forgien to her.
-Man-made light. Whenever seen, it catches her attention. Not for hunting purposes but, curiousity.
-Her sisters, a difficult relationship to describe but they are family.
-Philip. A man she sees kindness in, in comparison to the pirates he travels with and the sailors she has seen travel through Whitecap Bay. He is not like them.
Dislikes:
-Humans. Lustful, vicious, untrustworthy, they are monsters in their own right.
-Land. It is new territory to her. All she had ever known was the call of the ocean, never what lies outside of Whitecap Bay.
-Man-made light. While she may like it, it is a way to lure her kind for capture.
-Fire, intense light. It suffocates. Burns. Going near it is dangerous on it's own.
-Attacking humans. Shredding and taking their lives is not something Syrena enjoys. She is not a bloodthirsty creature.
STRENGTHS/WEAKNESSES:
Strength:
-Beauty: As all mermaids are, Syrena is beautiful. It is a mermaids tactic to capture their prey. Another being their voice.
-Her voice; is enchanting, if she is singing, it can lure a sailer to his death.
-Strength: While she may not look it, Syrena is strong and in the water she has the speed to match.
Weaknesses:
-Walking on land: Naturally, Syrena is not accustumed to shedding her mermaid tail so walking on land is not a easy task, one that leaves her vulnerable. Having human legs is a new experiance.
-Being half in the water and half out for to a long period of time. Being trapped in mermaid form but not fully in the water can kill a mermaid.
-Fire. Another cause of death for it can dry a mermaid out and suffocate.
SKILLS:
Syrena has the ability to shred a human limb from limb in seconds, though she'd rather not.
Beauty: A mermaids greatest power. Their seductive looks are what kill most men for while a mermaid might look like a innocent beauty, there is a monster behind that face.
A mermaids kiss: It is said that a mermaids kiss can protect a sailor from drowning, and her kiss can. Although she does not go around kissing sailors. To be bestowed with this gift would be a rare occurance.
GENERAL PERSONALITY:
Syrena isn't like her sisters. She is young and perhaps naive to the ways of the world. She has a gentler nature to her while her sisters are bloodthirsty and vicious, hungering for the flesh of man. Syrena is a quiet girl. She is kind, she's even a bit on the timid side, becoming easily frightened at times. In comparison to the behavior that her sisters show, Syrena is much kinder.
She has no desire to kill any humans. It is something she would prefer not to do if left with a choice. But even yet, she has before. The ocean may appear serene at most times, but they are a cruel place to live so she will do what is necissary to survive.
Living in Whitecap Bay, in the ferocious waters that sailors tred upon, has shaped her, it has given her a strong will. She's tougher than she looks. ((Movie refrences; upon seeing the dead corpses of the mermaids on the beach she did not shed a tear, or show any emotions but anger towards the pirates.))
Even though she doesn't want to hurt humans, that doesn't mean she likes them. Pirates especially. Many men are lustful, cruel. She dislikes the crew of the Queen Anne's Revenge, but she can see a kindness in Philip. She can see that he is different from the rest.
For this quest, Syrena does not plan on shedding a tear easily.
WE KINDLE AND CHAR, INFLAME AND IGNITE
GENERAL APPEARANCE: Incredibly beautiful, as all mermaids are, Syrena appears as a young, timid woman. Innocent and presumably harmless.
Syrena has long, dark locks that appears to be of a black while in the water. In her human form however her hair appears to be a medium brown color, falling down to around her elbows. It has waves running through it but her hair is overall straight.
Hazel eyes framed by thick lashes, said to be as deep as the sea with the power to trap any adventurer.
Her skin is pealy white, that under the moonlight illuminates, casting a alluring glow to her.
From the waist down, Syrena has coral colored scales that fleck her white skin, creating a fishes tail where human legs should be. And just like her sisters, she has a more monsterous appearance.
DISTINGUISHING FEATURES: Shimmering, coral colored scales from the waist down in the form of a fishes tail is the most distinguishing feature Syrena has. Another feature would be the sharp, fang like teeth hidden in her mouth like all mermaids, but this rarely shows unless she is to kill or scare a being.
WE'RE RASCALS SCOUNDRELS VILLAINS AND KNAVES
FAMILY: While her parents are unknown, her sisters are many of the mermaids that reside in Whitecap bay with her.
HISTORY:
Much of Syrena's life is left unknown. She was born and raised in Whitecap Bay, living there, hunting there, with the other mermaids that resided in those waters. Her sisters.
There were other mermaids out there in the ocean, but the ones of Whitecap Bay were far more aggressve and bloodthirsty, more independant. They seduced men that would ride past on their boats, and when they were in the right position they would grab them and drag them to the seafloor where they would then devour them. Or instead of seducing, if the prey caught on to quickly they'd leap into action and attack viciously and without mercy.
Syrena was like her sisters, a killer. But she was younger than them, much more gentle than hostile. She was a natural born killer at heart, but unlike the others she was different. Syrena wasn't blood thirsty. Killing was more of a survival act than a choice. And having grown up in the ferocious waters of the sea, survival was everything.

RP SAMPLE:
((Since Syrena disapeared from the point where she surfaced with the other mermaids until where she saved Philip from the falling depris, I thought i'd to a sample of what went on inbetween))
The surface broke as the mermaid's head rose out of the water, deep hazel eyes observing her surroundings.
It was dark. Late. The only light coming from a lantern and the lighthouse that stood off in the distance.
Other heads rose. Woman. Skin glistening with drops of the ocean. Long locks falling over their shoulders. All eyes were on their prey. Watching just as they were watching them.
A few mermaids joined the blonde, Tamara, at the boat. Their voice a chorus as they sang to the pirates.
They did not get many pirates in their waters. Rumors of mermaids kept sailors away from the bay. But for some it drove them to adventure into these waters.
Why these pirates were out in these waters the young mermaid did not know. It no doubtedly pricked at her curiousity, but no matter what their reason, their fate would be the same.
She could tell that her sisters did not give a care for their reason of being, only that they got their prey. It was how it went every time. They would seduce with their song. Their beauty. Then...
The song took to it's end, and screams chimmed through the air.
... they would attack.
She had witnessed these attacks before. She had been apart of these attacks before. But every time it would happen, it sent a gut wrenching pain through her chest.
Syrena did not wish to be apart of this.
Out at the boat, Tamara had made the first move. Launching out of the water with fangs barred, she dragged a sailor down into the water with her.
It was the signal for the others to join in on the attack.
But as they did so, Syrena bowed her head, slowly drifting down, underneath the surface.
She'd... watch... Watch as her sisters viciously attacked the boat. Grabbing. Breaking. The boards of wood beneath the boat were being broke as hands as white as pearls punched through the wood. Tearing the boat apart and sinking it within seconds. Around her, underneath the surface like herself, her sisters were doing the same to the men as they had done to the boat. Tearing them apart within seconds.
Syrena closed her eyes. Her face looked calm yet troubled.
She could not get between her sisters and their meal. Her fate able to be the same if she did so. Many of these men might even deserve this death. But... even so...
Feeling a shift in the water close to her, Syrena opened her eyes, tilting her head to the left to look.
Looking up towards the water above, she saw one of her sisters and a man. But her sister appeared to be kicked aside for while she looked dazed by something, the man she had brought down was swimming back up.
Brows furrowing in the slightest way, she watched the man. Syrena wasn't sure of... what... she sensed but she sensed something off about this man. Something... different. Different than the rest of these men.
With a flick of her tail, Syrena began her descent back up. Swimming after the man.
