Name: Korina Anna Saffo

Age: 20 (Sirens age like humans until they've fully grown at around 16-18, then they age much slower)

Gender: Female

Breed/Species/Type/Lineage: Siren

Physical Description: She has medium skin, further tanned by the sun, and long, wavey brown hair, and she's around 5 foot 7. In the water, she has a tail covered in shining blue and purple scales. She uses many strings of shells, stones, and anything else she finds beautiful as necklaces, bracelets, and tail decorations.

On land, her tail transforms into two scaled legs, covered by a long pair of white yoga pants. She wears an bright blue tank top and (a much smaller quantity of) her necklaces and bracelets. She often chooses to put her hair up in a messy bun and throw on a pair of blue flip-flops. People say her most noticeable feature is her ocean blue eyes.

Talents:
Singing is something that has always came naturally to Korina (or Kiki, as many people call her), but she doesn't do it as often as she would like, mostly because it brings a lot of unwanted attention, sometimes even in the form of unwanted suitors. She knows that's in part due to her magic abilities, but she doesn't realize the full extent of her power, which could work as a mild charm with her current level of training, but it would take decades to get good enough to work as a strong one. She's also picks up on instruments rather easily, but she doesn't spend much time with them, so she isn't particularly skilled with any of them.

Kiki is known to be a crowd pleaser, something she isn't really aware she's using to her advantage. She runs a stand at the farmers market every week, and she's very social with her clients, making her popular with the regulars and good at selling her products (which are the necklaces she makes, which she's also rather skilled in doing). She very much like talking with other people, and like everyone, humans and supernatural alike, though she hasn't seen as many supernatural as humans- or, at least, she doesn't think she has.

Kiki is also a very skilled swimmer, and has a knowledge of ocean life (and the ocean in general) that surprises most people. Granted, that knowledge is not very extensive, but she hasn't received any formal education, making what she knows rather impressive.

History:
Kiki, like most sirens, was raised by a collection of sisters. All of the young sirens are sent to one of these collections shortly after they're born. They stay there until they turn fifteen, first learning from the older sirens, then teaching the younger ones. However, Kiki was taught differently. Her mother wanted someone who would be a bridge between humans and sirens, should the supernatural be revealed to the world. So when she had her daughter, she told the sisters to not teach her of the cruelness of the world, especially not of humans. She asked them to teach her to live among both groups instead.

The sisters agreed, but it wasn't anything they had tried before. In the end, they couldn't figure out how to balance her education, so they had to try to tell her what the world is like without any reasoning and with little negativity. Luckily for them, Kiki wasn't very curious.

And so at fifteen, Kiki went into the world completely unprepared and knowing only three things for certain. One, don't tell humans you're a siren. Two, get a job and pay your taxes. Three, if you need help, ask a sister. And she does. There's Chara, an older sister who was her main teacher, and Maria, a sister around her age who desperately hopes Kiki will be alright in the real world.

Of course, it wasn't easy those first few months. Kiki tried to go into the city, but whenever she did she couldn't figure out where to go or what to do. During this time, she met a human girl around her age- Alicia. Alicia had enough common sense for the both of them, and Kiki was good at being social, so they ended up becoming fast friends. Alicia helped get Kiki a job at the same place she worked, which was a restaurant right by the beach (although Kiki had to settle for dishwasher, since she refused to serve fish). Once Alicia graduated high school, she decided to help Kiki start on a business idea she had been having for a while, which was to sell necklaces she made from all the pretty shells she had been collecting. It was hard to start, especially with Alicia going into law school, but eventually they got a stand at the farmers market.

That's where she's been for the past several years of her life, but even she knows she's gotten very lucky. She's been hearing murmuring of a change in the council, or something like that, among some of her patrons, but she hasn't heard anything about it from Alicia or any news sources, so she doesn't know what that's about.

Psychological Profile:
Kiki was raised to be ignorant of her serroundings. Her perception of the world is almost exactly the same as it was ten years ago. Alicia has been able to teach her how to get around in the human world, but it's still rather minimal, and she knows basically nothing about being a siren, and even less about the supernatural world in general.

However, being ignorant of that, she doesn't really know what she's missing. She's a very happy person, and likes to make others happy. And people tend to like socializing with her, although they find it hard to talk about anything serious with her. Her rather simple view on reality also makes it easy for her to see things as black and white and remove the complexity from situations that shouldn't be simplified. Alicia has very recently realized this flaw, and is beginning to think she should bring it up, but hasn't done anything with it yet.

She really does believe in the best of the world, which would be true even if she knew what was really going on. Overall, she's very naive, but very loving and hopeful.

Possessions:
She almost always carries a beach bag with her. Inside she always has at least three bottle of water, a waterproof wallet that only contains the money she earns from her stall, and her necklaces on work days. She hides those and her one outfit underneath a dock by her territory. That territory isn't very large nor properly defended, but there aren't any other sirens close enough to take it.

Yes, and:
She met Graham a few weeks ago, and she decided to chat with him. Somehow, they both learned the other was supernatural in the conversation. Kiki, not knowing much about the supernatural, decided to ask a few questions. She hasn't hit any questions with obvious answers yet, so Graham isn't suspicious (as far as she knows. Not like she's trying to hide it). Whenever she sees him, she always asks more questions, and she's starting to see him as a sort of mentor figure.
