After coming to America and seeing comic books about superheroes I never would have thought that is what I would eventually become. My name is Joanna Blaze and this is my story. I come from a long-lost culture that the world once knew but eventually forgot overtime. It was a culture influenced by both the ocean and moons powers. My mother said that some of our people originated from the sea and eventually found a way to live on land; and the other half were one with the moon on land with their powers enhanced through each cycle. We were impervious from the outside world for thousands of years. Until one night during a blood moon when we are at our weakest was attacked. I made it out with the help of my oldest brother, the rest of my siblings I was unsure of, or my father. My mother wasn’t so lucky I had witnessed her murder through a hole in a wall through a secret passageway she told me to escape through. Losing her at eight years old ignited a fire in me that would rage within me for years to come. After making it to New York City I knew that my origins were still just the beginning.

But I knew after everything my mother told me when she had a vision of me one night that I would do great things for the world and that people will need me. It’s not just the people I will live and serve to protect but I will take vengeance on those that robbed me of everything. 8 years later now I'm know as Siren!

Valoria
As the echoes of Aeloria’s speech faded into the cool evening air, Thalos felt a tap on his shoulder. A young doe from his tribe handed him a scroll sealed with the Plains Tribe's mark. Unfurling it, he quickly scanned the contents, his brow furrowing. The message was urgent—he was needed back home to assist with an important matter involving the tribe’s ancient records and the selection of a new council member. Thalos sighed, the weight of duty pressing on him. Just as he was about to excuse himself from the gathering, Seraphina appeared at his side, her keen eyes noticing the scroll. “Leaving so soon, bookworm?” she teased, though there was genuine curiosity in her tone. Thalos explained his predicament, the conflict evident in his voice. Seraphina listened, then smirked, her usual confidence shining through. “Tell you what,” she said, “how about a detour through the tundra? It’ll give you a fresh perspective—and maybe even an edge—before you head back.”
