Name: Sirène M. J. Siddal
(Sort've pronounced like Serenity without the -ity, but with a breathier R -- for those in need)
Age: Never ask a lady.
Zodiac Sign: Leo.
Species: Shapeshifter (Fox, most of the time)
Hair: Red
Eye Color: Gray
Brief Look Description: Sirène is curvaceous. Vivacious eyes, curvaceous thighs; a dent in her chin, full lips that almost always seem to be curved into a faint smile. Her hair is red. Very feminine, very sensual. Misleadingly soft.
Personality: Sirène is an autocrat. When she says jump, you say how high -- if you happen to be in a position where she's your boss. In fact, don't bother saying how high; if you'd been paying attention, you'd already know. Sirène can be to the point. Blunt to the point of callousness. She is obsessive and possessive and cannot stand to leave anything half-finished. She's been called evil, but that's only because she demands perfection in all things.
Brief Bio: Sirène was born to privilege and power in the Night World, but with privilege and power comes responsibility. Her older sister was executed for falling in love with a human and telling him about the Night World; Sirène was just thirteen years old when Madeleine was dragged out from under Sirène's bed, where she'd been forced to hide. They dragged Madeleine by her hair. They, being the pack of shapeshifters who were responsible for hunting Madeleine and her lover down. Then they ripped her apart. Sirène didn't actually see that part; she was on the other side of the paper screen; she just saw the shadows and smelled the blood and heard the. Well, it was a horrible night. Joe Priest was the hound-shapeshifter who was responsible for the entire thing; who'd figured out Madeleine's plan; who'd been jealous enough that he'd rather've seen her dead than with some human. They do not get along these days, Joe and Sirene.
The rest of Sirène's life is all: grow up, get powerful, make a name, make contacts, get cursed, play the hate-you-game with Joe, etc. Except for two years ago, when it's notable that Dante, another shapeshifter, asked Sirène to marry him and she accepted -- the wedding's due to happen in spring, which is, of course, why she's been asked to come to Las Vegas and whip it into shape. Boo. As if she didn't have enough to do.
Social Connections: Shapeshifters, Mssr Darren Mueller, Mssr Wren Silver, Joe Priest (enemy; shapeshifter; last name subject to change), Neal Ashe (human; sister's lover, still alive); Dante Wolf (fiancee), Madeline Frost (friend, bizarrely)
Model: Christina Hendricks
Optional Information:
Sirène is a member of the First House; Galen is her cousin; she doesn't bother telling people. Doesn't need the bother. Besides, Sirène Drache? Hell no.
Sirène is under a curse; she has to help anybody who asks her for help, or else.
Sirène is under strict orders to get those Old Powers (if they really DO exist) so that they wouldn't be helping the Witches. The last thing the shapeshifters want is for the witches to be any stronger than they already are, and the Old Powers seem like an ace-in-the-hole.
Sirène has very, very bad nightmares. Very, very, very bad nightmares indeed.
Sirène will not react kindly to anybody grabbing her by the hair. Not that it comes up a lot, but it must be said; she never lets it grow too long.
Sirène really dislikes dogs. And she hates being called a bitch. HATES.
Some of her friends call her M. J. She doesn't particularly like this. The J. stands for Juliet. The M. stands for Margeurite.
Likes: A select few, her fiancee, hot wax, candlelight, dusk, night time, good Italian food, the mountains of Japan, the woodlands of England, smoking, physical exertion, garnets and rubies and white jade, running, Dramatic Romantic Gestures
Dislikes: Dogs, being called a bitch, foul language in general, Tokyo, mornings, incompetence, being in charge of incompetent people, anybody who isn't already on her list of people she likes, brandy, arrogance -- just an excuse for incompetence, being accused of thievery, disloyalty, smokers, sadists
Quotes:
Sirène: "This is all wrong. You'll have to do it again."
Lackey: "But -- we can't. They're already dead."
Sirène: "Then it looks like you have a problem, doesn't it?"
