[/font][/font][/size][/size]Introducing…
LYGINOE!
"In Greek mythology, the Sirens (Greek singular: Σειρήν Seirēn; Greek plural: Σειρῆνες Seirēnes) were three dangerous bird-women, portrayed as seductresses who lured nearby sailors with their enchanting music and voices to shipwreck on the rocky coast of their island."

Name: Lyginoe (LIE-gihn-oh; the g is hard, as in 'begin')
Nicknames: She will not tolerate nicknames. She has, however, often been called 'Liar' as a play on her name, and she has never quite been able to argue with it.
Age: 314
Gender: quite female
Where you stand?: siren; escaped from the realms, and often appears in or around the school's lake, disguised as a student

Personality:
DISTANT there is nothing exactly warm and fuzzy about lyginoe. she is certain that she is better than you, and therefore is quite certain that she wants to maintain her distance from such filth. she's also must quite literally be distant to men--how else is she going to lure them to their impending dooms?
COVETOUS if something does attract lyginoe's attention, however, she is going to hoard it like a dragon. any pretty bauble that ensnares her interest is hers and hers alone. this includes men, but her attraction to them has considerably waned over the centuries--it's her job to seduce them anymore, not a pleasure.
SELF-INDULGENT what lyginoe wants, lyginoe gets. someone else wants something from her? she's going to require gratuitious persuasion. if lyginoe wants something, however, she will certainly do whatever it takes to acquire it. see 'covetous' above for what ensues subsequent to the acquiring.
DOMINANT she will not take your crap. you will take hers, and you will like it.
PERSUASIVE it's in the job description: men are lured by the persuasive power of a siren's song to crash into rocks and things, after all. without her voice, lyginoe has found herself very much lacking in the power to which she's accustomed, but she still takes pride in her manipulating manner.
VAIN I mean, look at her.
MISCHIEVOUS you have to have some kind of really sick humor to want to sing to men and crash them into rocks.
ENVIOUS & UNFORGIVING if you wrong her, lyginoe will be content to hold a grudge to her dying day. she's been kickin' for over 300 years. that day ain't comin' any time soon.
DECEIVING lie after lie will spill from that pretty mouth if it will benefit lyginoe in some way. men have fought and died for the promises she's made--wealth, eternal life, her hand in marriage--never to discover that she's just a load of crap. it's difficult to tell when she's lying and when she's actually telling the truth. good luck figuring it out.
OPEN-MINDED for all her flaws, she's lived among random creatures like centaurs and fairies and demented rulers for quite some time. she will accept anyone. she is determined to hate you all equally.
I've been around for a long, long year...
History:
Once upon a time, in a faraway land, there were three little sirens. They were not nice. They would siiiing and sing and sing their little evil hearts out and sailors, going crazy because of their superpretty! voices, would crash their ships into rocks. And the sirens would be all, YAY! Some thought they were half-woman, half-bird; maybe they were. But eventually, they became, for the sake of this particular story, super pretty ladies, and they would frolic on their little island and have a good 'ole time killing people with their voices. Like breaking glass with high notes. But not.
Fast-forward a few thousand years and we'll meet Lyginoe. The sirens must have multiplied (maybe they spared some sailors for reproduction's sake or something, or maybe the gods were like, HEY, LET'S THROW IN SOME MORE TO WREAK MORE HAVOC!), or they were already present in the Realms or something. Anyway, Lyginoe is not too impressively old as far as sirens go, but she's been around the block a few times and knows what's up. She's lived in the Realms her whole life, driving people crazy, having a good old time. She got into a lot of trouble, there, too, and built a not-so-positive reputation for herself. All the other sirens were content with just doing their thing for the sake of their jobs, but Lyginoe was kind of enjoying it. She began to enjoy the power she had over people. One day, a certain kind-of-important creature or something fell in love with her, and she led him on, and then literally led him into a cliff.
Bad idea.
Teryxael (current leader of the realms, remember him? oh, no you don't, because I NEVER MADE HIM DGBGSDLBG) took Lyginoe's voice away as punishment, and then exiled her from the Realms. So what did she do? She found a little cranny in the time-space continuum or whatever and ended up in the real world. Now she's hanging out in the lake at Florence's, trying to figure out how to get her voice back, sometimes disguising herself as a student if someone asks any questions. She is not. A happy. Camper.
The end.
Family: She has a crapton of sisters.
Anything you'd like to add?
--She molts sometimes. It's peculiar. Feathers will randomly appear in her hair, and if you touch them, she will break your face. She also, at one point, had wings, but she lost them with her voice.
--She has a temper on her, for sure.
--Neon colors make her head hurt.
--She thinks fish are disgusting.
--She's fast.
