HEADCANONS.
The eldest and only daughter of an Abyssal siren lord and his siren wife, Nerissa had been the beautiful wraith of the abyss since she was nothing more than a tiny little fish in the pond. Still, she grew up a beautiful woman with a voice that could even enchant the most heartless of sailors and creatures. While she had never been truly heartless herself, Rissa had grown darkness weary and darkness worn. She enjoyed punishing the rotten ones, drawing them to their untimely demise, spending her youth in a righteous rage - knowing well enough what sailors and rotten creatures did to her beautiful kin every time a storm rose.
When it was her time to wed, she wed someone of her own darkness - the unseelie heir of the Elmstone royalty and so she became one, as well - an end befitting a creature of her mind and vanity.
Theirs was a union of mutual benefit, but she did grow to love her husband. Having been graced with three lovely children, Nerissa spends her time surrounded by her little ones, content to just be a wife and a mother. But, with the power shifting in the Realm again, she knows there will come a time where her song will be needed to protect those she holds dear.
or drowns those that aim to threaten it.
