Plot post!
May. 16th, 2014 11:37 amIf you'd like to involve Cosette in any magic/shenanigans related plots, or if you'd like to employ her siren abilities somewhere, let me know here! :3
Also, just a note: Cosette's siren abilities are based more in selkie/mermaid folklore. She can remain/live underwater for long periods of time (forever, if need be) and her siren form is that of half-human, half-seal, a nod to her ancestors who were selkies.

OOC: About Costte
May. 14th, 2014 09:23 am•CHARACTER NAME: Cosette Bridget Halloran
•CHARACTER AGE: 19
•BACKGROUND & HISTORY: Cosette Halloran was born off the coast of Wicklow, Ireland in the Irish Sea, to parents considered of significance within the Siren nobility of that area. As the youngest daughter of five sons, her parents felt no need to care for her and thus, shoved her off on the first siren who would take her, her cousin Jasmine Halloran from the Mediterranean Sea. With tensions rising between Sirens in that part of the world, Aunt Jasmine quickly took Cosette when she was barely two years old and settled with her in Siren Cove, Maine because of the safe haven it presented for sirens.
Cosette grew up in Siren Cove on land with her Aunt, blending in with the outside world for safety purposes. However, she was always aware of her heritage, both as a siren and as an exiled member of noble siren society. Jasmine never wanted to hide anything from her, devoted as she was to Cosette. She taught Cosette how to wield and control her powers even as Cosette attended public school and appeared to the world a normal child, participating in various sports and choirs over the years.
Jasmine never had much money to begin with, so when she made the move to Siren Cove, she moved into a small, one bedroom apartment with Cosette. She occasionally had to work two jobs to make ends meet, but once Cosette grew old enough, she put in her share through various babysitting jobs and, currently, her part-time job at the public library.
Cosette currently attends Saint Bernadette's University, living at home while pursuing a dual major in vocal performance and music education, aspiring to become a teacher, secretly hoping to become a singing sensation just to prove to her birth parents how wrong they were about her.
