Siren is the captain of the pirate ship, Valkyrie. No one is sure how long she has been sailing the seas on Valkyrie, but she has earned herself the nickname: The Pirate Queen. When asked about her name once, she proceeded to sing in a frequency too high for human ears, so everyone just calls her Siren. She is typically easy going and forgetful considering her age. She is extremely loyal to her crew but is advised to not start a mutiny against her.

## Background

Captain Siren was born as a mermaid to the god Poseidon and goddess Amphitrite as the youngest child of the couple, her older brother, Triton, being the heir. She grew up always fascinated by the world above the waves and would often swim to the surface to observe humans, much to the distaste to her older brother, who has a deep distaste for humans. One night while watching a party on a yacht in Vocyn's harbor, a sudden storm hit throwing one of the party-goers, a young sailor over. Fearing for the man's life, Siren rushed to his aid dragging him to shore. The man in his daze was unable to see her properly but fell for the melodic voice, she spoke and sang with. Siren slipped off back into the water before the man was rescued by his guard and a young woman of a nearby clinic as it turns out the man was the prince of a nearby kingdom. Siren was mesmerized by the young man she met and found herself thinking of him often. Finding no other way to see the man again, she finds a sea witch who offers her legs to see the young man though each step she takes will be as painful as a thousand swords in each foot in exchange for her voice. Siren accepts the offer and the sea witch gifts her a sea shell necklace that will grant her the change. The sea witch tells Siren that the change will become permanent if she is able to get the young man to marry her before the sunsets on the third day. Siren returns to the surface with her new legs and is discovered by the prince and his guard. The prince takes Siren in as she desperately tries to explain to him that she cannot speak. She is offered a room in his castle, which she gladly accepts. The young prince also is hosting the young woman from the clinic that nursed him back to health as he is enchanted by her. One night while sitting in the ballroom of the castle listening to the band, the young woman harmonizes along with the band. Siren becomes jealous because she knows her voice is a thousand times better than this woman's, so despite the pain she stands and performs an elegant dance for the guests impressing the prince. By the sunrise of the third day, the prince has announced his marriage to the young woman who nursed him back to health, and Siren feels no jealousy towards the couple only happy for their marriage.

Now Siren's attention turns to her impending death at sunset, she realizes though she never loved the prince in the way his fiancée does, she is not ready to die. As the sunset begins, Siren pleads with her father, Poseidon, to take back the witch's magic and allow her to live once again as a mermaid. Poseidon, however, is unable to completely reverse the witch's magic because it is bound by Siren's words. Instead, Poseidon grants his daughter life in a new form. He changes his daughter from her new human form to a siren. He gives her the ability to change between her tail and legs using the seashell necklace, but she can never return to her home among the other mermaids. And since she is not a bird, she doesn't fit in with the other sirens either. Leaving her to drift in between both worlds for eternity. After years of moping near the shores of Vocyn, and luring sailors to their death on the sharp rocks. She returns to land temporarily and purchases the ship, Valkyrie. Siren has become one of the most feared pirates in all of Vocyn having many different crews over the years. She has since learned to accept her strange predicament.

## Challenging Red & Arthur

Red's gang and Arthur's army combination.

When Red instated Arthur (her former enemy) as her second-in-command, Siren noticed unrest in Red's gang that she saw as an opportunity to cause chaos among it. She sent a video to the people of Vocyn reminding them of her control of the harbor and the promises that Red made that she'd yet to meet. She met with the members of Red's gang individually promising each of them something that they really wanted to join her crew and leave Red behind. She called it "taking advantage of an opportune moment". She convinced her friend, Scarecrow, to leave Red's gang behind to become her first mate. This led to the addition of many other Ozians to the crew including the Hungry Tiger as second mate, Tinman, and Dorothy (and Toto, of course). Siren later revealed to her new first mate, Scarecrow, that she didn't expect anyone to join her crew; she only wanted to scare Red a bit. She expected Red's gang to follow her if they felt the need to, but they have yet to do so. Siren has since forgotten about the time she threatened Red and Arthur.
