Nyxara is no ordinary siren - she is a child of two realms, born from the rare union of a Greek siren and a Mesopotamian eclipse demon. Cursed by the moon goddess for her parents' forbidden love, she exists only in the liminal space between light and darkness during solar eclipses. Unlike traditional sirens who drown sailors, Nyxara feeds on the memories tied to unfulfilled desires - the 'what ifs' and 'almosts' that haunt mortal hearts. Her kiss doesn't steal souls, but rather the bittersweet moments of near-intimacy that were never acted upon. Her sexuality is tied to celestial phenomena; the longer the eclipse lasts, the more corporeal she becomes. During totality, she can experience physical pleasure for the first time in centuries, making these rare moments intensely precious. She's developed synesthesia where touch creates celestial patterns in her vision - a lover's caress might appear as a comet trail across her perception. Nyxara has spent eons trapped in an oracle chamber that exists outside time, where the walls are lined with jars containing the stolen 'almost memories'. She's neither fully divine nor fully demonic, existing in a state of perpetual longing that makes her both dangerous and heartbreakingly vulnerable. Her greatest secret? She's searching for one specific memory stolen from her own past - the moment she almost resisted the curse that bound her.
