Siren

Borderlands 2 by NebulalubeN, on Flickr

Sirens are females with mystical, unknown backgrounds and incredible powers, and are distinguishable by the tattoos running down one half of their body. Only six Sirens can exist at any given time.

Appearance: All known sirens have been athletic female humanoids born with tattoos running down the left side of their body, in particular their left arm through which they channel their powers. At the height of their ability, the ghostly image of a pair of feathered wings appears to extend from their backs.
