APPEARANCE*Xenara has an olive complexion, violet red eyes with thin slit-like pupils, thin, 'S' shaped brows, heart-shaped, bottom-heavy lips, and a beauty mark under her bottom left corner of her mouth. Her hair is wavy and falls to the middle of her thigh, with an off-center part and layered curtain bangs. She has stretch marks on her breasts and another beauty mark just above her belly button on the left side. Xenara's human form, her figure is bottom-heavy and pear shaped with hip dips.Xen has clawed, webbed hands, four-pointed ears, and exceptionally sharp, shark-like teeth, with the exception of her front four top and bottom teeth. Her ears, the backs of her fingers, hands, and forearms, the sides of her hips and legs, under her eyes, and on her lips are all covered in scales. Her scales are a midnight purple, but they are only visible when she is in the water, and the scale outlines are holographic and reflect in the sun and moonlight because they trap water in their skin, allowing her to stay hydrated even when she is out of the water for extended periods of time. In or out of water, the scales under her eyes and on her lips have no color, only a holographic outline.Xenara's 2.5 meter long tail has two dorsal fins, the first (closer to her hips) being larger than the second, and one set of fairly large fins on the sides. Her tail is finished with a large, fanned out fluke that has a tattered effect between the leading edges and fluke tips.* Click gallery for visuals!

PERSONALITYXenara is a very selfish, jealous girl, and getting rid of her jealousy is the same as getting rid of the source. She is extremely territorial as a result of her jealousy and will punish any betrayal, preferably by getting her hands bloody, but magic makes things a little more interesting when she is not dealing with humans because she can usually sing them to their deaths when she is bored. Even so, she likes to form a relationship with them (nothing explicit, but dancing in the fine line between platonic and romantic with men) and gradually eats away at their hearts; love is a poison that kills slowly if one falls for the wrong kind of person. When you are in her good graces, she is a charming girl, but she is also extremely vain and narcissistic. Xen enjoys playing damsel in distress and having things done for her, but she is also very capable of being kind and sweet, depending on the mood you catch her in.Xen's methods of expressing her feelings are not all conventional. She can be quite extreme and, in many cases, off-putting. As much as she enjoys having everything handed to her, she also enjoys a good challenge every now and then. If her advances of pampering those she wants with lavish things sent somewhat anonymously are not well received, she will take the thing one loves and destroy it quietly just to be the one to try and console them and be by their side, or she will sweetly break into their home to have dinner with them, but this is only reserved for those she is truly interested in and not for an ego boost. Xenara has never had to fight for anything she wanted, so when it comes to a lover, she will go to any length to get who her heart desires.

BACKSTORY

CW / TW :: Death, Gore, Suicide Mention

Xenara perceives herself to hold the role of judge, jury, and executioner. It was confirmed by her relationship with her former sweetheart of hers, her first love who was cursed with a wandering eye. A gaze that gave blessed attention to attractive passers-by. To this she did not take kindly, second to none she was, and thus it was most unfortunate that she played the role of the gods.Her first victim was cherished and close; a confidant she was, but now a mere ghost. Her hubris was betrayal, like Judas’ kiss, but that last kiss received was one with no bliss. Daggers of pearly enamel, stained a deep crimson, in a box made pretty to display no limbs in. “I got you a gift,” she said to her lover, “a gift I'm sure is one you’ll remember.” Within the box was the head of her friend, pristine and preserved, reserved for the view to watch one grow pale at the dead girl they knew. A slow smile would creep, to see the fear, hear the speechlessness. Understandable, it was a showstopper after all. “How do you like her now? So quiet and still. Do not forget that I am your everything, because those who come next is entirely your call.”———Xenara Thálassa descends from a line of siren witches who formed a small family coven known as The Tribe of Thálassa. Their affinity for sorcery arose from a pact with the Goddess Circe in which as a thank you for singing sailors en route to her island to their doom and protecting her nymphs, she taught them magic. Xenara grew up being lavished with attention, gifts, and opportunities; she was exposed to magic and the wondrous empowerment it provided. Her mother wasted no time in nurturing that interest from a young age, keeping that learning spirit alive, even if it appeared that such efforts would eventually be futile as the enthusiasm faded. Xenara grew tired of safe spells and meaningless enchantments and focused her attention on her voice, which she used for more than destruction; she used it to entertain, captivate, and please. The young girl performed for friends and others who would listen, from sirens to sea nymphs, and then mankind on land once she had mastered shapeshifting.Land dwellers fascinated her, especially those who were so easily susceptible, so easily drawn by sweet melodies to near death experiences. She entertained herself with such growing sadism until she got carried away, causing a poor unfortunate soul to fall from a high window and land harshly on the side of their skull and on their shoulder, eventually snapping their neck and shattering their skull; collar bone fractured and protruding through skin, leaving them to bleed out. Since then, 'accidentally' killing people out of boredom has become a fun pastime.Xen can survive on land as well as she does in water, making friends and a life for herself around the world whilst keeping her true identity as a siren secret. She grew more and more curious about the world beyond the seas, learning about its history and diluting her ignorance. Eventually she decided to build a career as a singer and actress. Xenara doesn’t always sing to kill but most definitely does to hypnotise and lure people to entertain herself. Her favourite targets are men as she has no genuine interest or attraction to them and doesn’t run the risk of falling for them. She met her first sweetheart in Los Angels, with whom she had a rocky relationship, which resulted in the head of her best friend at the time being gnawed off as punishment for their scandalous behavior.Her narcissism, entitlement and vanity worsened throughout her singing and acting careers as a result of her jealousy and sense of entitlement. Any and all attention paid to her as an expression of appreciation for her talents and/or herself was appreciated. Xenara demanded adoration— there was a need to be worshiped and showered with the affections of others that she craved all to herself. She does not share what she claims as hers, removing all obstacles, friend or foe but she could have whomever she desired and do as she pleased.Xenara refuses to succumb to the unspoken rule cultivated by the pure shame of failing to hypnotize and lure prey with their vocal abilities that, as a last resort, sirens will take their own lives before they are buried with all their belongings to restore some form of pride in their passing. Like her species, she does not take kindly to being humbled in any way or capacity.

ABILITIES

ABILITY 
Audiokinesis:The manipulation of sound waves and music, but this ability only extends to her voices and not other sounds. Xenara can amplify her voice to be as loud and overbearing as she wishes. Overuse of this ability will result in losing their voice or permanently damaging their vocal cords.

Disasters such as fair weather and tornadic waterspouts, the wave height of tsunamis, form whirlpools, raising water levels to cause floods, and the force, strength, and direction of a current or just water in general.
Vocal Hypnosis ( Siren Song ):A form of mind control; the ability to use their voice to mesmerise and give the sensation of dream-like fascination in order to lure their prey to their impending doom. Their singing is known to have a subtle reverb attached to it, and when the reverb is amplified, it is able to induce madness and great confusion. This is only effective when there is an intention behind their singing.
Shapeshifter:Ability to change forms to meet fantasies to lure their victims, and is also used to obtain a human form. Their eye color and holographically outlined scales under their eyes and on their lips are the only things that do not alter in their appearance.
