She typically finds sailors whose ships have sunk, and pirates and convoys alike. Her personality is one of seriousness, and she does not express herself by facial expressions very often. She does sung lovely tunes though, ones of the sea and winds, not ones meant to lure anyone to their doom. She seldom spends time with other merfolk and prefers to be on her own. She is however very curious of the various emotions humans possess and their intensity, since she does not feel these. One day, while Sirène was staying near Pointe de Pen Hir, a dangerous cliffside that plunges right into the ocean. Looking upwards by chance, she saw a human, a man, standing dangerously near the edge of the rocks. The wind blew harshly and she could only watch and wait as he toppled over the edge and feel towards the ocean. She saw no fight in him as he fell. ________________________________________________________________ This is a fantasy story with my mermaid OC that I started making back when I was in middle school.

The Tale Of The Siren - Rough Draft [EDITING] ✔️
'Just one more question. Well, two questions. Did the Goddess ever get her voice back, and has anyone met her?' 'She did, but no one knows how. It's a mystery! The Goddess does not like showing herself to people, but she had to when it came to fixing the rum situation.' 'Maybe, I will get to meet her,' Jacques said proudly. The Captain chuckled, 'My boy, you might get to.' From that day forward, Jacques sailed the seven seas waiting for the time he would get the opportunity to meet the Goddess. As Jacques sailed on the ocean, he heard the same humming sound as the Captain once did before him. In a tale of adventure and forbidden love, Jacques, the captain of the ship Sparrow, has been sailing the seas ever since he heard a mysterious voice from the ocean. This voice belongs to Arieshell, a siren who has controlled the waves for millennia. When she encounters Jacques's ship, she falls in love with him. The story explores whether Jacques and Arieshell can find what they are searching for despite the challenges of their different worlds. ------ The cover credit goes to @lorenasanz15 The banner credit goes to @starisredy Character Aesthetics credits edible_autumn Character Banners credits go to @-DeeIsDead- Word count Goal: 85,000-115,000 Word Count: 177,928 ----- Highest Rankings 🥇 #1 in Sirens - 11/08/25 🥇 #1 in Sailors - 11/15/25Complete
