Sirena is the main character in Mako Mermaids. Sirena is the mediator and the peacekeeper between Nixie and Lyla. She's a really beautiful soul and bit naïve, but that can work to her disadvantage.

DescriptionEdit

Sirena has been Nixie's best friend since they were hatchlings. Sirena is a little naïve, very trusting, can be unsure of herself at times and is easily treated like a doormat. Where Nixie is the leader, Sirena is the follower. She is loyal almost to a fault.

She is a little clumsy and of all three mermaids, struggles with legs the most.

Sirena is initially cautious around Lyla, but quickly realizes that they'll all need to stick together to succeed on land. With Nixie and Lyla always at each others throats, Sirena plays the role of mediator - but often wishes she wasn't stuck in the middle. Although she's normally patient with them, sometimes it all gets too much and Sirena snaps - and Lyla and Nixie don't want to be around when Sirena loses her temper!

Although the others rarely pay attention to what Sirena has to say, she has sometimes come out of left field with a streak of genius that can help them find their way out of sticky situations. As the series progresses, placid Sirena gradually earns the other mermaids' respect as an important member of the group.

EtymologyEdit

The name Sirena is derived from the name "Siren" - a mythological creature with the ability to lure sailors to their deaths with their enchanted voices. "Siren" also means mermaid in some languages. Sirena means "mermaid" in Spanish, pronounced "see-ray-nuh"

TriviaEdit

• She refers to humans as "land people".
