Ian

* Human
* Siren
* Adolescent
* Chibi

Ian, previously known as Kai before becoming a siren, is the one of the main characters in *Siren's Lament*. Lyra named him Ian after her dead pet goldfish. He seems to be oblivious to this, although it is hinted at many times during the series.

## Appearance

Ian has dark, tanned skin and light, platinum blonde hair. His eyebrows are black, and his right eyebrow has a scar. His eyes are of a grayish (almost hazel) color. He has a muscular build and has no problem showing his body off as he is seen shirtless on many occasions. As a siren, he appears the same, except for the fact that he has a blue tail.

## Personality

In the beginning, Ian was a cautious and skeptical person; only interested in finding out how to become fully human after the deal he made with Lyra to switch places went awry. However, after living with her for awhile, he begins to become more compassionate and understanding; all the while falling for her at the same time.

Whenever he has the opportunity to, Ian is often seen cracking jokes to lighten up the mood of those around him. This appears to be a natural talent of his, but, at times, Ian also uses this ability to redirect the attention of others onto something else when moments get too tense or because he has another goal in mind altogether. He has also been known to make dirty references, despite previously being a siren with no way of knowing these things.

Ian is also quite cocky and self-assured. He constantly reminds others how amazing he is and how good he looks. Although at times he is seen doubting himself, his choices, or his actions, most of the time he is confident and haughty. These particular traits seem to annoy those around him, to some extent.

## History

In the past when he was known as Kai, Ian used to sell jewelry on the beach to people (women) who would easily fall under his charms. Eventually, however, he came across a woman who was not as easy to trick as the others. In due time, her name was revealed to be Emila.

## Abilities/Talents

### **Siren Powers**

* **Echolocation** - As all sirens, Ian is able to use his voice to see better in dark or murky water.
* **Vortex** - Ian is able to manipulate water

It's also been brought to my attention that Ian was named an excellent problem solver by Tua (HE thought that was his hidden talent)
