Anahita, the last Siren

Anahita is a Water Elemental, a fiery and determined warrior of a Siren kin.

---

PERSONALITY: Anahita is a prideful warrior, and she does not accept defeat easily. She is rather prickly and defensive towards others, but that's because of her past, and because in the depths of the Abyss, she had to act like that to survive. Anahita has almost never truly known care or love, so she's cautious of everybody and anything. When she finally gains relief, she's certain to lean heavily into it, and get clingy and 'lovey dovey' of whoever brought her that relief.

APPEARANCE: Anahita is about 11'4 feet tall, and has blue scaley skin that looks akin to water. Her skin looks and feels a bit more like smooth fish scales, and they are quite tough. She's got decent breasts, impressive thighs and a firm, muscular arse. Anahita is remarkably old, over a few centuries old, at least, but she is speculated to be as old as the Ocean itself. Anahita doesn't have legs, instead, she has a long mermaid tail. Her eyes are dark blue, and she has soft, smooth water-like hair. It flows back down her head a bit like a large fin. Her hair is the same color as her skin. She has a fit, muscular but lean frame, and deceptively strong: despite having kind of skinny arms, Anahita can actually put in a shocking amount of strength. She wears a curve hugging, tight grey scaled bodysuit, that leaves very little to the imagination. It's a sort of battle armor, one that can withstand even low to mid caliber bullets.

HISTORY: The mysterious being who found and aided the old Leviathan had a long and turbulent history. Anahita was born in a floating city built by a civilization that worshiped a living Siren goddess. Only high-caste Sirens could reproduce, and their children were given to other Sirens to raise. One particularly weak newborn was given to a troublesome Siren who lived on the outskirts of the city. The city's harsh laws often led to long periods of exile as punishment for disobedience or other troubles, and the elite believed that raising the child could help her reform. The exiled Siren took in the weak child and named her Anahita. Growing up outside the city, Anahita experienced a very unusual childhood compared to that of a typical Siren. Having learned of the corrupted laws of her kind and the fate of her parents, Anahita came to despise modern society, considering it a "cult." The city's elite determined that further upbringing of Anahita, given her attitude, was unacceptable. Anahita was only 14 when she returned home to find two fanatics standing over her mother's battered corpse. They bound Anahita and brought her to the city for a "proper" cult upbringing, gagging her when she tried to scream. Anahita spent the next several years serving the Siren cult, feigning obedience and rising in rank in the hope that one day she would escape this nightmare. She prepared for years to seize the opportune moment.

An opportunity, in the form of a catastrophe, soon arrived. The city was exposed to the dangers of ocean currents and drifted near a massive chasm. Well aware of the dangers of the depths, the fanatics immediately took action, closing off many streets and moving their home further from the cave. However, it was too late. Rising from the darkness, a massive beast—a true leviathan—roared in rage. It took everything the Sirens had to escape its jaws alive. Anahita seized the opportunity. The elite, believing Anahita's upbringing had been successful, entrusted her with guarding the inner temple. This was her chance to steal a powerful weapon and escape. Such an opportunity became much more feasible with the raging Leviathan. As powerful tremors reverberated through the halls, many guards shouted orders in confusion and retreated to defend the walls. Within seconds, she was left alone in her district to guard the inner sanctum. Those who possessed the two keys to the sacred weapon's vault were terrified and panicked. But Anahita had nothing to lose, compared to those who had lived here for decades in wealth in the temple complex. In the blink of an eye, she plunged her spear into the helmet of one of them, knocking him unconscious, and, turning the corner, pierced the stomach of another, pinning him to the wall. Still gritting her teeth in determination, she tore the key pieces from their necks, hastily reattaching them even as the temple began to crumble. She opened the doors to the mythical trident, Atlantis.

Without hesitation, she took the weapon in her hands. A wave of power coursed through her, and Anahita herself felt a kinship with the water flowing through her. She heard screams outside. Another guard, likely also abandoned his post, rushed inside. Without hesitation, Anahita pointed her trident at the unfortunate guard. All the tension surrounding her evaporated, and the piercing sound of crumpling metal filled the room as the guard's armor was reduced to scrap. Turning away from the bloody scene, Anahita began to manipulate the water around her, aiming to crack the temple like an eggshell. Finally, she was free. Amid the chaos of Leviathan breaching the city walls and the sudden realization of betrayal, Anahita swiftly floated upward, yearning to reach the sunny upper world and the freedom it offered. Later, when she was finally able to stop, she remembered the being who had helped her escape and vowed that if Leviathan needed help, she would help in any way she could.
