Milk of the Siren - Melanie Martinez

Drink from the leche of sirens

Summon the sailors in town

Strangle the fear of deciding

Which one's deserving to drown

Engraved in our memory, the harm that was done

Our mothers, the witches they banished and burned

All of our sisters were killed and abused

By sword-swinging men who would always accuse

The worst of a woman who fights for our right

To be where we belong at the front of the line

Tired of silence and being polite

Your legs turn to shimmering scales in the night

Drink from the leche of sirens

Summon the sailors in town

Strangle the fear of deciding

Which ones deserving to drown

Don't feel bad when these fuckers all drown

Let them drown

Let them drown

Let them drown

Tenderness worn on the skin like a dress

Nurture these men, pull them out of their mess

They steal the resources, destroy all the land

Belittle the power of the feminine hand

The milk from the rivers of every moon

Cradle you tight like you're back in the womb

Bury their souls in a cove by the light

Celestial dip all that ego and pride

Drink from the leche of sirens

Summon the sailors in town

Strangle the fear of deciding

Which ones deserving to drown

Let them drown

Let them drown

Let them drown

Nothing wrong with a little havoc

It's fun when shit hits the fan

So guillotine their heads by shouting

Cut 'em off, leave waters red

Nothing wrong with a little havoc

It's fun when shit hits the fan

So guillotine their heads by shouting

Cut 'em off, leave water's red

Nothing wrong with a little havoc (drink from the leche of sirens)

It's fun when shit hits the fan

So guillotine their heads by shouting (summon the sailors in town)

Cut 'em off, leave water's red

Nothing wrong with a little havoc (strangle the fear of deciding)

It's fun when shit hits the fan

So guillotine their heads by shouting (which ones deserving to drown)

Cut 'em off, leave water's red

(Don't feel bad when these fuckers all drown)

𝐁𝐀𝐒𝐈𝐂𝐒.

─ MONIKERS ─

Nerine . fish, swamp fish . the siren

”a sea nymph”

a name closely related to the word nereids, the nymph truly did fit Nerine. She and her sisters were closer to a mix of sirens and sea nymphs rather than being true sirens. Their mother, the sea monster Scylla, is the reason as to their monstrous features but whoever fathered them would be the reason to their more siren like features. Now residing in the swamps and sewers of Gotham, Nerine has gained a title, 'the Gotham Siren', often luring in her victims to the sewers or into the swamp itself. Citizens living close to the swamp who have frequent encounters with Nerine have nicknamed her as 'the fish', they now wear ear protection when nearing the waters as to not get lures in.

─ BIRTH ─

1st Jan . unknown . aquarius

amethyst, orchid

the circumstances around the birth of Nerine and her three other sisters (Melia, Anteia, and Thalassa) are to this day still a mystery. Their mother was Scylla, a nymph turned sea monster, while their father remains unknown. Soon after their birth, however, they began to terrorize the seas. Sirens as tall as mountains would capsize boats and flood villages out of pure fun, it wouldn't be until a day after their birthday that Poseidon, God of the Sea, would chain the four sisters to the bottom of the ocean. This is where they would eventually be freed by a human after getting tricked by a promise of power. Once they were freed, the sisters agreed to shrink down to a more unnoticeable so they could live their lives, without Poseidon locking them up again.

─ GENDER ─

female . she/her . fem presenting

considering sirens are female presenting creatures, it's safe to assume that Nerine presents herself as female as well. However, most people don't tend to see her true form. Using shapeshifting and a bit of mind reading, they can shape into the person you most desire, no matter their gender identity. Without this Nerine leads her life as fem presenting.

─ IDENTITY ─

siren . greek . speaks any language

although technically classifying as a siren, they would mostly like be a sea monster. In Greek mythos, sirens are creatures with the heads of women and the body of a bird. This later changed into the upper body of a woman and the tail of fish. Nerine's species has the tail of a fish and the upper body of a human woman, though there are many different traits to tell she is a siren rather than a mermaid. Having razor sharp nails as claws and webbed fingers, her body has different areas covered in fish like scales. Her eyes are a milk white that shine yellow in the dark waters and night. Their teeth are sharp and strong enough to break bones, being able to devour humans whole. Another thing that sets them apart from normal sirens are their sizes, Nerine can become monstrously big like her mother whenever she truly wants to. Though she sees it as impractical so stays normal human sized.

due to her being a Greek monster, it's isn't weird to assume that her nationality is Greek. Therefore, Nerine can speak fluent Greek but also many other languages. Since she is able to peak into the minds of others to learn their desires, she picks up on their languages, making her lure more effective by singing in a person's native language. Due to this, she can now speak most of Earth's languages, hoping one day she could maybe speak the language of people off world.

𝐀𝐏𝐏𝐄𝐀𝐑𝐀𝐍𝐂𝐄.

─ FACIAL ─

milky white eyes . gills . scales

no tattoos . black hair

her face isn't often revealed, considering she doesn't need to show her true self to her victims. Though it is said that even without shapeshifing her face is beautiful, as if looking at a marble statue. Her pretty face has fooled gods before as they made her look like just another nymph only to be met with a rather notorious sea monster. Her eyes are a milky white and glow in the dark, her neck has a set of gills that allow her to breathe underwater, and her neck has green scales covering the sides. One of the more non innocent parts of her face are her teeth, made to eat the flesh of Gods and monsters, they help her devour human prey pretty easily. Her hair is described as long and black, always wet and with bits of water plants stuck between the strands. Her face is untouched by the dirtiness of the water or the mud she often swims through, though this could be a mirage.

─ STATURE ─

variety of height . height . open posture

smells of sea water

having the body of a beautiful women and the dark greenish tail of a fish, it's no wonder that even without shapeshifting, her appearance has lured sailors into the water. Scales cover her silky skin and fins appear on her elbows along with fish like spines that run along her back. Her long hair covers the more intimate part of her upper body, but while shapeshifting she gains the clothes of said person along with their scent. Being the child of Scylla does mean she is in true nature a sea monster, her true form has never been seen by living mortal eyes. Her tail had linger webbed spines running along the back. Her fingers are webbed with talon like nails that aim for the jugular when snatching her food.

─ VOICE ─

hypnotic . no accent

being closely related to sirens, Nerine's voice has hypnotic properties. Strong enough to pull sailors off their boats and make captains steer into the sharp rocks where her sisters often reside. Whenever angered, a simple screech could break glass and severely damage the beings that listen to it. While permanently making humans death, it has temporarily deafened the gods before which was among the many reasons Nerine and her sisters were locked up.

𝐏𝐄𝐑𝐒𝐎𝐍𝐀.

─ OVERALL ─

playful . hotheaded . greedy

living out most her life in imprisonment, once she and her sisters were freed, they went to live a comfortable life close to their mother. There they often played with the boats wishing to travel past Scylla, this habit has not changed. Tour boats going through slaughter swamp have reported sighting of the Siren just...playing with their boats along with the people on board. Swaying the boat to near tipping over, poking her head out of the water to scare tourists, and even covering the swamp with mist to disorient boats to crash into one another. Very few time does she actually attack the people onboard and just enjoys watching them scramble or panic. This playfulness along transitions into her hotheaded behavior, if someone annoys her or does not give her what she wants, she will turn violent. Often attacking people thay insult her. Another way her playfulness transitions is her greed, Nerine is like a crow that likes hoarding shiny objects. Her anger or hunting can often be distracted by a person throwing something shiny into the water which has been an effective technique into avoiding her.

─ LIKES & DISLIKES ─

:heavy_check_mark: objects that shine

:heavy_check_mark: getting her way

:heavy_check_mark: her mother

✘ poseidon

✘ those who can't hear her

✘ anything too loud

─ HOW THEY ACT ─

happy

A happy siren is a playful one, unless she's hungry. When happy she would rather trick people or tease them. There is no bloodlust there but one drop of blood is enough to set her off into a rather violent mood. Nerine is often observed playing with the strange wildlife of slaughter swamp or playing with tour boats that come her path.

sad

sadness leads directly to anger for her, often going after the person that made her sad in the first place. One of the things that can set off her sadness is stealing her collection of shiny things. Though, she often gets them returned once Nerine finds out who it was. Her wails echo through the swamp as she often finds herself crying out of pure home sickness, missing her mother and sisters.

angry

anger leads to immediate violence, she doesn't have the patience for slow burning anger. As a siren, upsetting her means she will hunt you down till the ends of the earth until one day she can get her hands on the perpetrator. Like her mother, their anger is enough to keep the gods away.

─ POWERS ─

charm . shapeshifting . hydrokinesis

chlorokinesis

other than the immortality, enchanced strength/dexterity/agility, and of course the fish tail. Nerine inherited very little from her mother, an infamous sea monster, instead taking after sirens. Her one power is through her voice, once hearing it the person would start feeling like they floating on a cloud being drawn into the source of her song. It's a trance like state which mimicked the effects of alcohol as her victims stumble and slur their speech. A voice that also can turn deadly through a very loud scream, loud enough to break glass and cause serious long lasting ear damage to an ordinary human. Next to that, she's one of the very few sirens that can actively shapeshift into the person one desires most, creating a sort of mirage around herself that only a person with no desire can see through. Another form of shapeshifting is Nerine exchanging her tail for legs once she's on land or when she reduces herself to her current size. Although having a close description to a siren, she is still a sea monster and her true form can out size some of the tallest waves.

for reference

though it is debated on where Nerine's mother originated from, one of the traits that she received was being able to control water. Her first two days on earth was filled with her and her sisters causing ginormous tidal waves that flooded cities and town. This ability still stays with her to this day, using it to create mist and walk on water to lure people into the waters. Other times she creates tentacles out of the water to grab her victims if they try to escape. Nerine's chlorokinesis is only limited to aquatic plants as she doesn't have the same reach on plants on land. She's often seen wrapping her victims up with swamp vines or kelp.

𝐅𝐀𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐘

─ MOTHER ─

scylla

a sea monster that terrorized a specific part of the ocean next to the whirlpool Charybdis. Nerine loves her mother and that sentiment is shared. Their father still remains a mystery to this day as their myth goes mostly forgotten with only a few clay pots telling their story. After shrinking down to a smaller size to hide from poseidon, the sisters stayed near their mother to lure sailors to their doom. When they got bored they would go exploring while their mother stayed behind. Nerine hopes to one day return to her mother and sisters, but for now remains in the swamp.

─ SISTERS ─

melia . anteia . thalassa

the three sirens sisters spent their first years of life trapped at the bottom of the sea together. There they entertained each other through song, making up new ones everytime they got bored. Once freed, the sisters would stay close to their mother to lead sailors to their eventual doom. After that they traveled the world together to cause more chaos and this would eventually lead to the separation of the Siren sisters, leaving Nerine behind.
