Headcanons:
The Siren’s Wail owes part of its success to Viola’s lounge act, La Sirena de Galloway. Billed as a Latin jazz night, the act traditionally opens with multiple covers of Puerto Rican songs sung by Viola, alongside a band of four others. A large porthole tank looks directly into the lounge, as “mermaids” (humans, much to her chagrin—she couldn't get any real mers to agree to do the show) glide by the windows and dance along to the music. At a quarter to midnight, the mood shifts; the lights dim, all but the pianist and Viola clear the stage, and the audience holds their breath in anticipation. Lit in a soft, hazy blue, she begins to sing a haunting rendition of The Mermaid of Galloway, crooning into the microphone as something altogether strange takes over her captive audience. By song’s end they have to be ushered out the room, decidedly dazed, as pamphlets for the casino floor are shoved into their hands and the mermaids blow them kisses goodbye through the windows. They always take to the slots immediately after, spending far more than is reasonable, and they always come back for more.
Viola is a polyglot. She speaks Spanish, English, French, Haitian Creole, Dutch, and, most recently, Scottish Gaelic.
She sees little issue with misrepresenting facts and stretching truths if it makes reality sound nicer. She’s always had lofty ideas of what life ought to look like, particularly where it concerns her place in it, and that often translates into her rearranging everything around her to fit that narrative. Some people will call it delusional. She prefers romantic.
