Nerissa Fathomwave
the Tanglelight Siren
Named for the green-gold light that filters through a kelp forest at noon, and the way your hair tangles with the fronds when you drift.
Power
Kelpweave — you can command living kelp to coil and hold fast anything within a tidepool's reach, but each time you do, the water steals a memory you cannot recall until it is gone.
- Familiar
- a decorator crab named Filigree
- Tide
- the Tangleveil Tide
You were hanging strips of kelp to dry on a line strung between two rocks when the outgoing tide revealed a face pressed into the wet sand — a woman's face, eyes closed, lips parted. She spoke your name without a mouth, and when you knelt to touch her, the sea pulled her back, leaving only a braid of dark weed in your hand.
