Description:

Melina is tall, with long curly brown hair that hangs down to her shoulder blades. She has tan skin and dark brown eyes. As would be expected for a siren, she is full-bodied and curvy. She is a bird from a half inch below her navel down with wings and a tail. Her bird features are that of an Eleonora's Falcon. She wears a charm she bought from Unnamed Witch that makes her bird features both invisible and intangible. Her style of dress is extremely feminine, dresses and blouses with skirts, in light colors. She wears dark red lipstick and occasionally black eyeliner. She doesn't wear any jewelry except her charm, which is disguised to look like a heart-shaped locket. She never takes off her charm around humans, even her fiancee (who doesn't know she's a siren).

She's generally phlegmatic, patient, and forgiving. She works as an elementary school teacher and is good with people. She has a slight instinct to see humans as food, but ignores it. When she cares about someone, she cares deeply. If you hurt or threaten someone she cares about, prepare for the tongue-lashing of your life. If you survive that, you will have an angry siren willing to unscrupulously use every possible weapon at her disposal against you. She loves Helga fiercely, but believes neither she nor any other human could possibly accept her (Melina) if they knew she was a bird monster that evolved to eat people.

Melina enjoys seafood, reading, painting, and cliff diving. She also likes listening to music, but she never learned to play any instruments and never sings (for obvious reasons).
