"When Sirens come onto land, they are nearly indistinguishable from other humans. They walk like us, they talk like us, they look like us. What gives them away is their strange affinity for water and their too-beautiful voices. There's also their eyes: they are too clear, too bright, too cunning. Glittering like precious jewels, they watch us and learn from our ways to better pretend to be like us."
-An excerpt from an Amarantan editorial article by Herodious Meclarvitt
Sirens have developed the ability to transform their bodies, depending on where they are. They can make themselves look human, though there is always something off about them to the observant viewer. The change from true form to human and back is quick and painless, and does not require concentration. However, strong emotions such as rage or fear can weaken the transformative magic, revealing their true nature.
