Quite small for an elf, with only 5'6", her petite, slender body is shaped perfectly and combined with her pretty face with the mysterious green eyes is a beauty to behold. She often wears her raven-black hair in a pony-tail at shoulder-length. Siren, as she is called, is easy to pick out in a crowd. Her distinctive style with black and red leather or cloth and her fondness for form-flattering and sexy outfits, tight pants and shirts, sometimes with bare midriff or a plunging neckline, whatever makes men look at her, effectively underlines her gorgeous appearance. On top she usually wears a black leather jacket with red decorations and the colors of her gang, a big red "anarchy A" in a circle. Being vain and obsessed with her own appearance, while sometimes necessary, it costs her some effort to hide herself behind less eye-catching garments.  Background: Varaya Vandenberg didn't come expected. Her mother was very young still, she didn't want a child and she was simply not ready for one either. Rejected by her mother and unknown to her father, who had long left by the time of her birth, the little girl ended up in an orphanage in the poor area of Columbia, near the old chapterhouse of the Universal Brotherhood. She was lucky, it could have been worse. Varaya never really liked that place, and she took the first opportunity to break out. That was when she was twelve. Her magic had already manifested and her ability to call small spirits for her protection enabled her to live on the streets unmolested. Having nothing, she had to steal for a living. Varaya always loved the sight of the water, and she spent hours upon hours in the Columbia River Park watching the waters from there. It was there also, where she met a bunch of awakened boys, who were members of a wiz-kids gang called the Myth, whom she often hung out with back then. After a while, Varaya was invited and joined up with them, calling herself Siren, after the mythological creature, who lured men into their doom at sea with her enchanting voice. While she was never as nasty as the siren from mythology, she did possess striking good looks and a seductive voice, with which she could talk men into doing almost anything for her. And she liked it that way. Years passed and honing her magical skills she became a force to be reckoned with. Through one of her fellow gang members, she was introduced to an elven talismonger named Kiros, who operates a small talismongering shop in the city and where she learned a bit more about the theory behind her magical powers. Over time internal struggles weakened the structures of the Myth and after a while they disbanded. The Siren was back on the streets again, but with her skills and good looks it wasn't hard to get some small jobs and earn enough money to afford a small flat near the Riverfront at least. However, this wasn't what Varaya had dreamed of, she was destined for greater things for sure. She often dreamed of a wealthy condomonium in the better parts of the city, getting out of the dirty streets, which were so unlike herself, pure and beautiful. Another year went by, she was barely eighteen when another gang entered the scene of her life. This time, it was not a bunch of kids, rather something serious. She had befriended a member of the Ancients, the biggest and most powerful elven go-gang in the area, and the whole UCAS. Her friend, a fellow called Wight, became her lover and as things fell into place she ended up being a member of this fierce elven group. With the money she had earned so far, she was able to afford her own bike, a Yamaha Rapier, and her friend showed her how to ride it. At first Siren was doing smuggling runs for the Ancients, her innocent looks making her an ideal courier, and later her persuasive tongue was employed in various negotiations, often with underworld organizations, such as the Yakuza. Most of her associates were impressed with the personality of the elven girl and soon she enjoyed a good reputation as a negotiator in the scene. Varaya enjoyed being the center of attention and getting more and more involved, she had fewer and fewer time for her boyfriend. It didn't help their relationship either, that she cheated on him on a few occasions with "business associates" or even random guys she met in a club during a lone night, and when he found out and questioned her about it, the two broke up almost immediately. It's a miracle, that she was able to keep his anger in check, given what she had done to him, and they could remain friends, even though somewhat distant, afterwards. She now tries to keep a strict policy of not getting involved with any of her fellow gang members to avoid such a situation in future. Through her assignments, Siren also was introduced to the fixer Hawkins. A sleek professional, who had shown some interest into the girl's skills and who had promised to call her up, if there was an opportunity to make some real money...</blockquote>
