Sirena Evans

""I can't believe we're really doing this... leaving our friends, what's left of our miserable family. Like they mean nothing. Like they don't need us. Like we don't need them.""

- Sirena to Elias and Mallory in Blood of the Prota

Sirena Evans is the second child and eldest daughter born to Laurel and Spencer Evans, making her the sister of Elias and Mallory Evans. She is the deuteragonist of the Strength of the Elite series, and one of the main characters in the Rise of the Zyrian series and the Resolve of the Evans series. She is an Elite.

Appearance
Sirena is described by her friends as being very beautiful, overshadowing any beauty that they may possess themselves. Although they said this jokingly, Roman stated in his narration that it was, in fact, not a joke. To further support this, upon first seeing Sirena, Isaac was captivated by her beauty because "it was as if she wasn't even trying to be beautiful, but she was anyway. And that made her that much more breathtaking."

Sirena has thick, brown, curly hair with a faint purple tint that becomes more noticeable in direct sunlight. Her hair isn't very long, but due to it's volume, it seems plentiful. She has thick, dark brown eyebrows, and very bright hazel eyes. Her lips are full and darker than others'.

She's most often seen wearing purple and black clothing, but Isaac stated that he wished Sirena would wear white more often, because it enhanced the golden tone of her skin and made her look like "an angel sent to [him] from heaven itself." She's always wearing a golden charm bracelet with a moon charm and a sun charm. This bracelet matches Roman's necklace, with each charm representing one of them (the sun represents Roman and his golden eyes, and the moon represents Sirena and her overall mysteriousness).

Personality
Sirena is initially very cold to people she meets, especially people with dominions which affect the mind.

She's seen as very confident in her abilities and disregarding of others' feelings and thoughts. In reality, Sirena is very fierce and protective of the people she cares about. She's willing to risk her own safety in order to ensure theirs without hesitation. Sirena has a very sarcastic sense of humor, and she doesn't find conventional jokes funny. However, she thinks Isaac is very funny because of his overall goofy personality.

Sirena is unafraid to challenge authority, even when it comes at the cost of something stable in her life (like school). She stands firmly for what she believes in and will go down fighting for it. Surprisingly, she has a soft spot for very young children, such as Ryan.

Because of the nature of her upbringing, Sirena doesn't act like a teenage girl. In fact, according to Elias, she has never acted her age, instead always acting like a fully grown adult: responsible, calculating, and not tolerant of mistakes by others.

Background
From the moment she awakened, her parents pushed her to train with her dominion, like her siblings. However, unlike Elias and Mallory, Sirena found it extremely difficult to control her dominion, causing her to fail at simple trials and ultimately disappointing her parents. Afterwards, Sirena exhausted herself and spent every waking moment trying to reach the level of control that her siblings had other their dominions. When she was 12, she completely mastered her dominion and hoped to earn her parents' pride. Unfortunately, exceptionalism was the standard in her household, so no matter what the Evans kids accomplished or how much they succeeded, they were only ever seen as mediocre by their parents. This resulted in all three of the Evans children resenting their parents.

When Sirena was six, her parents, aunt April, and uncle Jasper created the Zyrian. After she received her Zyrian mark, Sirena fell into a state of complete numbness at her parents' treatment of herself, Elias, and Mallory. Worried for their sister's state, Elias and Mallory bought a dog for Sirena, whom she named Bear. Bear, along with Elias and Mallory, helped lift Sirena out of her depressive state, causing her to be very attached to the dog in present time.

In addition to going into a depressive state, Sirena also stopped using her dominion, both for her own use and anyone else's. She stopped training, resulting in multiple punishments by her parents, but she was seemingly unfazed by them. After receiving Bear as a pet, her parents attempted to punish Elias and Mallory for buying a dog without permission, so Sirena used Psion to stop them.

Abilities
Because of her intense training from such a young age, Sirena possesses abilities to a substantially higher degree than other Elites her age. Even Roman and Jasmine are significantly weaker than her. And, although her identity within the Zyrian isn't known to the public, the Zyrian itself sparks fear in even adult Elites. If anyone were to see the Zyrian mark on Sirena, there's no doubt that they would be fearfully petrified.

Sirena has two prevalent weaknesses. The first is her fierce protectiveness of the people she considers her family, who are initially only Elias, Mallory, Roman, and Jasmine. When someone she loves is put in danger, all instincts to protect herself are dissipated, leaving her very vulnerable and also distracted. The second weakness is almost contradictory to the first: while in the midst of a fight, it's easy for Sirena lose all sense of moral reasoning. She enters what she and her family call "Psiren Mode," where her only goal is to defeat her opponent, namely by killing them. This can be considered both a strength and a weakness because she will not hesitate to do what needs to be done, leaving no opportunity for her opponent to trick her, but with each new kill, she falls deeper and deeper into a hole of darkness that she fears she will never escape from.

Overall
Preternatural Perception: Sirena is naturally very perceptive, both by gauging somebody's strength and analyzing their movements. She can quickly pick up on someone's fighting style and subsequently predict their next movements through their previous patterns, all while in the action of battle. She also rightfully trusts her own instincts, knowing when something feels off, or even when she's been watched. She can usually tell when someone is lying or acting in a way not suitable to their typical character, but if someone is a particularly skilled liar, it's possible that she'll be fooled.

Advanced Strength: Even in comparison to the strength of a standard Elite, Sirena is particularly strong. Whereas Isaac could easily open a 200-pound door with no exertion, Sirena was capable of simply pushing it with one hand and showed absolutely no signs of effort, not even a change in breathing patterns. She was also capable of snapping a grown man's neck with her bare hands, which would take 1000-1250 pounds of force. This is attributed to her parents' intense style of training for their children, including random tests to keep them from regressing. Sirena's strength isn't only exhibited in pure physicality, but also in her dominion, Psion. Because of the way Psion works, Sirena needs actual strength, physical and mental, in order to move heavier things. This was also a part of her upbringing, however, so she usually has no difficulties in using her dominion. In fact, she was able to effortlessly and single-handedly stop a large boulder from crushing Isaac, that of which must've weighed at least 7500 pounds. While this doesn't directly equate to physical strength seeing as how Sirena couldn't stop it barehanded, it's still an impressive feat to do so with no exertion.

Advanced Speed, Reflexes, and Agility: While Elites naturally have more advanced speed, reflexes, and agility than a normal person, Sirena was fast enough to surprise even Cara, whose dominion grants her super speed. Sirena's reflexes, when on the alert for danger, are immensely superior to that of any other Elite. However, when she's not on her guard, she's capable of being harmed, such as when Isaac mistakenly shocked her in the classroom as a result of a loud noise startling him.

Immense Stamina: When using her dominion, Sirena exerts a lot of physical and mental energy, so in order to fight prolonged battles, she had to drastically increase her stamina from a very young age. In fact, stamina building was her main focus in the early years of her training. Sirena is capable of suspending a literal skyscraper from crushing herself and Isaac for over an hour, although it's worth noting that by the end of the suspension, Sirena had become sweaty, her eyes were half-lidded and foggy, and her breathing was shallow, as well as her heartbeat being "as fast as a hummingbird's." After being made safe from any danger, she was on the verge of passing out, and she could barely form her words.

Immense Durability: Part of Sirena's training was pain-resistance trials, meaning that her parents would put her and her siblings through several kinds of pain in order for them to become familiarized with the different sensations, and therefore build up a higher immunity against it. For example, on several occasions of her being shocked by Isaac's lightning, which equates to one billion volts of electricity, Sirena was only momentarily stunned and could recover fully in under 30 seconds. In addition, when burned, cut, minorly stabbed, and touched with a bubble made of acid, Sirena only displayed the initial shock of receiving these injuries, but they failed to hinder her overall abilities. Serious injuries, however, such as being shot, being hit with Isaac's Flashing Tempest lightning, or experiencing a full-body sensation (like being submerged in acid or being set on fire), still have an affect on her. She's usually capable of continuing to fight, albeit minimally, but enough physical damage can completely prevent the activation of Psion.

Enhanced Healing Factor: Along with other Elites, Sirena heals five times as fast as a normal human, being able to mend broken bones in as little as eight days depending on the severity. Her enhanced healing also prevents against scars to a certain extent, but a severe enough injury is still capable of scarring, as proven with her Zyrian mark, which only took her seven weeks to completely heal from but still remains a prevalent and permanent scar.

Master Strategist: Sirena's perception and intelligence allow for her to easily create successful strategies and plans, even in the midst of a fight. By analyzing an opponent's movements, she can find their weak point, or blind spot, and attack there, which usually results in an easy win. However, if the opponent is skilled enough, they will either change their pattern of fighting in order to confuse Sirena, or they'll have no visible blind spots.

Psiren Mode: As stated by Sirena, Psiren Mode is like "putting [herself] on auto pilot. [She isn't] in control anymore." She stops thinking completely and allows her subconscious and unconscious mind to control her. Unfortunately, she believes that Psiren Mode makes her primal, as she will kill even when unnecessary in this state of mind.

Regular Dominion
Psion: Psion allows Sirena to interact with her surroundings through the manipulation of molecules, as well as replicate and perceive the sensations of another person under the right circumstances.


 * By taking control of the molecules around an object, Sirena can move practically any tangible thing she desires. It's initially presumed that she needs to use of her hands in order to use this ability, but that's later proven false when she, Isaac, Roman, and Jasmine are kidnapped by the Mockingbirds, as after they remove everyone but Roman's blindfold (because they know he needs his sight), Sirena knocks them all unconscious by throwing them against the concrete wall. She tries not to use purely her sight, however, because doing so typically gives her a headache.
 * By directly manipulating the molecules of a tangible thing, Sirena can separate them, thereby destroying the object into seemingly thing air. In reality, she's merely reduced it's form to individual molecules, which are invisible to the naked eye.


 * After willing her eyes to turn purple and focusing her sight on the subject, Sirena will begin to feel the same emotions and physical sensations that the subject is currently experiencing. Although this isn't useful in a fight, she often uses this on an unconscious ally to make sure there are no underlying physical conditions.

Super Moves

 * Meteor Shower: Sirena breaks apart several surrounding objects into various different sizes ranging from golf ball to basketball and subsequently fires them all at once in a downwards motion towards her target.
 * Telequake: Inspired by Jasmine's dominion, Sirena shakes the entirety of the building she's in and can choose whether or not to break certain parts of it.

Weaknesses
Guns: Like all Elites, Sirena can be incapacitated by guns, but not in a conventional way. The guns that are manufactured in their world, when shot, emit a frequency that's very destructive to the minds of awakened Elites. Should she be exposed to said frequency for long enough, it could theoretically kill her, but this hasn't been proven. Even with her superior pain tolerance, Sirena is still grounded by the discharge of a gun.

Emotions: Because of the nature of Sirena's dominion, in that it's fused with her nervous system, her own emotions are quite possibly her greatest weakness. When she experiences extreme emotions, her dominion grows out of her own control. In the most severe cases, such as the death of a loved one, Sirena's entire body begins to glow purple before releasing a powerful psionic blast, which is the only time her pure dominion can be used as a direct physical attack.

Dominions: Despite being an Elite herself, and therefore possessing a dominion, Sirena is still susceptible to others' dominions.

Furantur Dagger: Because she's an awakened Elite, Sirena is susceptible to the magic of the Furantur Dagger which has the ability to steal her dominion and contain it within itself if she's injured by it. Additionally and specific to herself, Sirena will theoretically but probably die if stabbed by the Furantur Dagger since her dominion is embedded within her nervous system, and depriving herself of her dominion will shut down her brain function.

Nearsightedness: Sirena is severely nearsighted. Elias pointed out that "anything more than 20 feet away from her is basically a giant blob of nothingness." Although she wore contacts prior to and up until Path to Innocence, her vision was still warped because her prescription is far too severe for contact lenses. After her contacts were destroyed by the light blast caused by Arclight and Isaac's lightning interacting, Sirena began wearing her glasses again on occasion. However, if she's caught without her glasses, or if they're taken out of her possession during a fight, Sirena's vision will significantly worsen.

 * Evans is of Welsh origin, meaning son of Evan in its anglicised form.

Trivia

 * She has a male Bernese Mountain Dog and Labrador mix named Bear.
 * Her parents wanted to name her Quinn, but they thought that Sirena Quinn flowed better than Quinn Sirena. As a result of this, they still call her Quinn, but Sirena preferred to be called by her first name, so her parents are the only ones who call her by her middle name.
 * Sirena has a soft spot for young children, like Layla and Ryan. Furthermore, she's instinctively protective of anyone younger than herself, but especially Mallory because she's her sister.
 * Sirena is allergic to bees, and a sting will result anaphylaxis.
 * She is the only character to be classified as a main character in all of the first three series.
 * Most of her threats, ultimatums, etc. revolve around the number 16 because that's how many letters are in her name. She admits that she's a bit obsessed with the number because it's a normal consistency in her abnormal, inconsistent life.
 * Sirena is severely nearsighted, and she has to wear glasses in order to see far away.
