Pearl Ghostbreak
the Charred-Anemone Siren
Named for the pearl that holds a cinder of living flame, and for the Ghostbreak rift where she first surfaced from the ash of a burned reef.
Cinderbloom — you can ignite the polyps of a coral head into a searing, sulfurous flame that lights the dark water and scorches anything it touches, but each blaze leaves the coral dead, white, and crumbling; the reef remembers what you take.

You keep a single warm pearl that never cools, the one you were born holding; it remembers the heat of the vent that gave you life. When the others of your shoal drowned in the cold current, you broke the shell of your own ghost and refused to follow. Now you swim alone through the smoking reefs, and the fire inside you is the only light you trust.
