Description: The Siren is long and slender with the head and body of a woman and the tail of a fish (sturgeon). She is pasty pale from living in a lake underground. She has long webbed fingers with sharp, claw-like nails. She wears no clothing, but likes jewelry, particularly if it is shiny. Her rough black scales begin to flake out like thousands of tiny razors, starting at her lower hip. Her scales have a sort of eerie greenish tinge in the light. Her eyes are pale, entrancing, and frightening

Strengths: is fast, loyal, dedicated
Weaknesses: heartless, confined to water, doesn't comprehend human nature
Talents: swimming, drowning things, singing
Personality: To put it rather bluntly, the Siren is the murderous portion of Erik’s brain. Her sole purpose is to keep the House on the Lake hidden from anyone who might be poking around in the cellars by preventing them from crossing the underground lake. This being said, she will not hesitate to kill at a moment’s notice. She thinks nothing of it, as it is her job and functionality. She is able to be stopped, on occasion, but only by Erik’s direct request, and even then, on occasion, it is too late.
She is very loyal and obedient to her Master and his requests. She is constantly seeking his attention and approval, like a loyal watchdog pet. I’ve often compared her personality to that of a cat. They claim their person and remain attached to them, and expect them to, in return for remaining with them, expect to be worshiped and tolerated. While not quite to the extreme of cats, this sort of attitude pretty much sums up the Siren.
She feels that she is in a constant game of competition for the Master’s attention, hoping to become the more prominent portion of his brain (and not to be forgotten). Her biggest competitor for this is the opposite side of his brain (the more human and gentlemanly side) where from stems his “lady” who he takes with him sometimes to the opera. While she has accepted that this other side of him exists, she does seek to maintain her dominance in his mind.

Biography:
(Birth to Present, 5 Paragraphs Minimum)
It was in September of 1870, at the start of the Franco-Prussian war, when construction on L'Académie Imperiale de Musique initially ceased. Despite this initial halt in the building's creation, one man continued working, alone, and made for himself a house between the walls of the foundation of the building, across from the vast artificial lake,where he hid in order to wait out the war.
However, his hopes to remain hidden down there, undisturbed, did not come without a few unexpected snags in the plan. On the third of November in 1870, about two months after the construction had been put on hold, some poor soul decided to wander down to the shores of the underground lake. Naturally, the architect could not allow his underground sanctuary to be discovered and disturbed by the outside world, and so as the intruder was venturing out onto the lake, they were confronted with a rather unexpected set of circumstances.
Suddenly, as if coming from the water itself, there was the beautiful sound of a voice, singing a rather haunting and enchanting melody. The intruder became so enraptured in this song, that they bent down toward the inky waters, looking for the source of such an ethereal sound. No sooner had they done so, that a pair of hands swiftly reached out of the water and grabbed the intruder, pulling them down, down, and down to the bottom of the lake... and that was the end of it.
Once it was all said and done, the architect began to panic. A person was dead there, in his home and by his hand... But no... No, it wasn't him, It couldn't have been him... could it have been? Desperately, he searched his mind, trying to figure out what could really be responsible for what had happened... and then it came to him.
He recalled having read in various legends in Greek mythology, of creatures that would lead sailors to their dooms at sea, by luring them into rocks with their voice and dragging them down into the depths of the waters... Sirens... That was it. It was the siren's fault. The siren was what had killed that all-too-curios passer-by. He could live with a clean conscience.
And now, since the completion of the opera house, the man has continued living there, in the house in the foundations on the Rue Scribe side by the underground opera lake. The "siren" continues to keep watch over this lake, keeping his house safe from any intruders that dare attempt to enter.

RP Sample
RP Sample:
The creature looked around at this new, rather dark place she was in. The construction workers had spent several days doing nothing but pumping and pumping in a desperate attempt to get all of the water out from where they were laying the foundation for the grand building which was to become the new opera house, in the style of Napoleon III.
However, even with their days and days of pumping, they had still been forced to leave a rather vast lake beneath the foundation, in the cellars. They had determined to use it as a water reservoir in case of fire (as all of the previous opera houses had burned to the ground), and yet the Master had a far different idea…
It was between the double walls of the foundation in the cellar, that the Master had begun his own little construction project, as the other workers had ceased building due to the scuffles taking place on the surface. It was here, several stories beneath the surface of the earth, that the Master was planning on setting up a more permanent home, hidden from the rest of the world. Her purpose was to make sure that home remained hidden from any too-curious passer-bys.

Required Information
Sources Used In Research: My brain, The Angel's Lament (still my brain), and Meg (because I needed to make sure nothing conflicted with Erdick's timeline for the age and history). I shockingly didn't reference my previous application for the Siren at all.. I guess it's because she's a completely different version of the same character.... OH! And wikipedia a little.
