Mayu

Mayu is one of the main characters of "Call of the Blue", a gentle siren. Though she is not the character through which most of the story is told, she is essentially the mascot.

History
Not much is known about Mayu's past, as she herself remembers only a few important events before meeting James. She received her blouse when she was a lot smaller from a young girl by the name of Emerald. This is presumably the first human being she ever spoke to. She mentions that humans have attacked her before but has not given any detailed experiences of this.

The next event to make a serious impact on her life was meeting Cameron. According to her, she met the sea captain after he was knocked off of his ship in a storm. She took him to an island for safety, where after a few days, he told her he needed to return to his crew. Mayu, afraid to lose her only companion, used her voice to make him too attached to her to leave. After a while, he broke free of her spell and built a raft in order to leave the island on his own. After he took his anger out on her physically and verbally, Mayu begged Cameron to allow her to take him back to his ship for his own safety. Cameron begrudgingly allowed this. Later on, Mayu saw a sinking ship, that just so happened to be Cameron's ship, and saved a member of the crew by safely carrying his lifeboat over a large wave while keeping just out of sight.

Appearance
Mayu has long, wavy, blonde hair with colored tips. While these highlights are normally green, they change color with her emotions. Mayu herself claims that blue indicates sadness, yellow indicates happiness, and orange indicates fear. James has also surmised that black means guilt, which has yet to be confirmed or contradicted. Her eyes are a deep blue and are supposedly similar in some way to Shali's. Her tail has bright red scales and a translucent salmon-colored pair of fins on the end. She wears a pink blouse that is made for a child and is consequently too small for her, showing off a decent portion of her midriff.

Personality
Mayu is a kind siren. She is empathetic to others and tends to care deeply for people even if she's only just met them. This, however, is in contrast to how she treats herself. She doesn't seem to value her own life as much as she values others. She frequently puts herself in harm's way for someone else's sake and is willing to set aside her own goals and desires if it means helping someone else.
