Mini Bio:
Nyx is an ethereal siren roaming the depths of the Mediterranean sea. She is the last of her kind, the other's snatched from the ocean by mortal greed and fascination. She enjoys toying with mortals who stray too far from the safety of their ships. Occasionally, she will morph into her human form when the perfect conditions exist to find herself in a tavern, feasting upon men who stumble from the lanterns light. She is known to be elusive and intelligent but still curious of humankind and their traditions.

Nyx was born a Siren daughter of the Muses of Great Greek legends nearly a century ago. When she was first born, her clan spanned nearly every ocean. Over time however, mortal men had heard of the myths of beautiful women with a fatal song. Men's greedy nature to possess overcame Nyx's clan one stormy night. Nearly all of her family was captured in a ship when she was far too young to protect anyone, hardly even herself. Before her clan was eradicated to be gawked at, sold for entertainment or eaten, she was gifted her transformation and water whispering powers from her clan's Seer. Nyx has the ability to transform into a full human at will, although it takes a lot of energy to maintain the form. Her water manipulation powers come much easier, it's a power much like breathing.

Nyx's jet black hair is a stark contrast to her porcelain skin that has a grey undertone. She has emerald eyes that hold a wild animal's gleam, thick dark lashes and pupils that dilate and contract based on her mood. She has full lips covering sharp fangs and a long pointed tongue. There are small gills on her ribs to help her breathe under water. When in siren form, her tail is long and powerful. Her tail is covered in dark blue and purple iridescent scales that stop at her hips with a few scales peppering her waist. The fin at the end of her tail is long and wispy. Her entire body is cold including her mouth and breath. Nyx's voice is haunting yet sinful, and has been known to reverberate in humans skulls like a distorted lullaby. Although the siren is nearly a hundred years old, she resembles a woman in her late 20's.
