Siren

Siren is a satyr who wandered onto the Sunrise Planes and decided to settle there. They like to present themselves as chill and casual, but are quite emotional when it comes to it. She lives on an island in the middle of the river, dubbed "Albuquerque", where they live with their three dogs and single sheep.

## Personality

Siren likes to think of himself as a rational person, but is deeply driven by emotion. They can hold grudges for a long time and take losses to heart, blaming themselves. However that rational side isn't purely an act, she does try to think things through a best she can, it's just that when personal feelings are involved they take over. It also means they're easily overwhelmed and crumble when others question or doubt them.

Siren does not like lying by nature, but is not above subterfuge and can become deeply competitive. While Siren joined the mayoral race because it seemed interesting and they thought they could do a good job, she soon found herself desperate to become mayor at any costs. They were willing to plot against Ian if he became mayor by either exposing dirt on him or even framing him. He also joined the Hole cult primarily to get the members to vote for him right after denouncing Ian for being cultish (though to be fair, the Hole folk were more open about their intentions and seemed harmless enough). She also agreed to a coalition with Jammy for the same reason.

They also deeply care about the people close to them and become very defensive when they are threatened. Right now this really only applies to their sister Ria as she does not know many of the other Sunrise people very well, but that could change. Technically it also applies to their dogs as well, especially since Siren has lost two of them already and was heartbroken about it.

## Story

As they're settling into their new home, Siren meets Jammy and tries some of his weed cookies, going "holy shit" very softly after eating one and agreeing to be a future customer of Jammy's.

After that, Siren develops a notorious hatred of the Drowned for bombarding their island every night. After killing many they get various treasures from them, including nautilus shells and their prized trident. Sadly, they lose Son Dog while fighting.

Siren chooses to run in the elections. Their first speech is fairly smooth, with the audience liking them for being the only candidate on time, helping fight off the phantom plague, and for having their dogs (which are technically wolves but shhhh) as their running mates. She promises that if she's elected she will ensure the Sunrise Planes are well lit and safe from mobs, particularly the Drowned.

The second speech goes worse. A misspoken line leads the crowd to believe that Siren's proposed punishment for theft is much harsher than they meant, and as people start to ask questions and misunderstand them, they run off stage, ashamed. After Murdock's speech, there is a thunderstorm, which further upsets Siren. He digs himself into a hole much to the concern of everyone watching. They're dragged out eventually and choose to just go home.

The debate goes better. Siren remedies their statement from before and earnestly tries to answer Kris' inane questions, such as stating they will solve climate change by using their trident to control the weather. Instead of standing behind the podium, Siren stands on top of it the whole time. Siren bribes Fox, who previously stole from them, with sugar to vote for her.

After the debate Siren asks to talk with Jammy alone. They agree that Ian is shady and Siren proposes that if Ian is elected they do something to sabotage him. Siren proposes a few ideas, including digging up dirt on him or framing him for embezzlement. Jammy also proposes the idea of a coalition to increase their chances of winning. Siren says they'll think about it, then later agree fully. They also have a talk about how they came to be, with Jammy saying he's made of cake and Siren saying she doesn't know for sure but is fairly sure she came out of her mother's BLEEP.

After Siren leaves they meet Fox again, this time with Razberry. The two ask Siren what he thinks of cults, and he says that they're scummy and exploit people. The two debate if they should tell Siren about "that", and once Siren agrees that they'd be okay with a religion they lead them down into the earth to show them the Hole. Craft is also part of the Hole Cult, which is secret and no one but its members can know about. They toss offerings into a pit of water to the Hole and maintain that it gives them gifts such as the ores in the ground, and sends mobs when it's angry. They say they'll have to wipe Siren's mind of this meeting if they don't want to join. Siren ends up joining as long as they vote for her and don't do any human sacrifice, and because she values her memories very much. They agree and he joins.

## Backstory

Siren was abandoned by their parents as a baby and does not remember them, nor have strong feelings about them. They grew up in a place that was very cold and snowy all the time, so the Sunrise Planes were a welcome change of pace.

## Relationships

### Dragonfly

Although they do not know Dragonfly well, they guessed she was a fey and is interested in getting to know her better. She also worries about how Dragonfly seems drawn to Ian's cult thing

### Jammy

Siren's fellow running mate, they felt fairly neutral on Jammy and thought he'd make a decent mayor. Jammy was the one they turned to on the matter of taking Ian down, and formed a coalition with them to form the political party Bovine2022. Jammy also gave her weed cookies when they first met.

### Ria

Siren's adopted sister. Ria lives in their basement and they tend to trade resources, with Siren having a lot of food and Ria being a dedicated miner. Siren is very protective of them
