**Bio:**

Mambo Sirène des Eaux Noires was born in Saint Denis in 1875 to a Creole mother and Native Wapiti father. Like all the women before on her mothers side, she was raised around Voodoo, but as a teenager she had been more focused on the latest fashions and chasing flings.

Despite that, she was never scared about getting her hands dirty, so her father taught her the intricacies of hunting, while her mother gave her a guiding hand into the healing powers of herbs. Together with her mother they impressed upon her the importance of valuing life, and using each part of the flora and fauna to honor them.

Sirène was coddled by her cousin Isaiah Bradley, and she adored him in return. But as she began to blossom into a young lady, his mother, her aunt Opha was murdered. This sent Isaiah into a spiral, and he left Saint Denis, also leaving Sirène vulnerable to their shady uncle Earl, a lumber Baron and notorious pimp.

Earl saw potential in Sirène to be a valuable informant, and lucrative product. She was a pretty young thing with the cunning he needed, and with Isaiah gone he tried to sweet talk her into his employment. Thankfully Sirène was smart enough to avoid his offers, but he remained a pest to her for many years.

Years later Isaiah returned only to coax her father away after learning about a raid happening on Wapiti land. Sirène begged her father not to go, knowing what would happen. But he had a duty to his people. Inevitably he was killed, and Isaiah returned some time later, a growing darkness over him.

With a little convincing from Isaiah Sirène left for Paris where she tried to drown out her hurt with partying, but quickly went through her savings and was forced to take odd and unsavory jobs to keep herself afloat. Letters from Isaiah became few and far between, and a growing sense of doom came over her. But she was still too hurt, and only returned after being away nearly three long years.

Saint Denis had grown in her time away, many things had changed, and there was an influx of people like she’d never known. More importantly Isaiah had been beaten down, and she knew she had to do right by him and get his focus back on something with real meaning.

Only a day or so back she felt drawn to the sea, a voice calling out to her. When she awoke the next day she forgot the dream, and became sickly, only recovering after finally remembering. A spirit by the name Mami Wata had an important message for her, to help the people of Saint Denis. Sirène had become sick because she had been ignoring Mami Wata, but now things were looking up.

Sirène is working hard to get her business off the ground and provide a stable life for her cousin. She wants to help people of all walks of life, and build a community where it may be lacking. Sirène has big dreams, and she’ll work tirelessly to make them happen, whether for herself, or for Mami Wata - who may be one in the same.
