Thoughts on Siren?

[Anonymoose]

References to the siren in-game seem to identify a singular entity from a larger group - implying that there are many sirens and we've encountered only this one.

I'd bet me bum ear a siren's behind all this. Nay, not one o' the Sanguine variety, 'nitiate. I speak o' the other kind─them what's got feathers, an' lure sailors to a watery grave with their sweet, sweet song. Ohhh, but it don't end there... No, drownin's just the start. See, even in death, a man stays bound to the beast, forced to do her biddin' 'til his corpse can't do it no more.

How we'd classify them... dunno! Siren isn't very consistent in her FF appearances, but it seems that sirens are a species and not a primal in XIV, at first glance. She may even be a fresh incarnation entirely, aimed at staying close to classical tradition, as Eorzea is based on Ancient Greece (birthplace of the siren myth).

I could see her being ashkin (undead) as a spirit of the sea... perhaps a soulkin (cursed) attached to a shipwreck or the ocean itself...

Hmmm...
