This is you, the siren, the reader, from Dracoria_Nebulae's fic, Abyssal Lights.
Abyssal lights is a fantastic fic where the Reader is captured and contained in an aquarium under poor care until the day four skeletons are hired; Green, G, Stretch, and Red. The Siren has limited description -- black scales, pale eyes with black sclera, and ability to light up patterns on her skin via bioluminescense -- so a lot is left to the reader's imagination (which I love). This is the healthy version of the Siren before her health deteriorates. Her scales are black, but I gave her a purpl-ish tint. I imagine when the light catches her scales you can see iridecent purples and greens. Her "hair" is akin to catfish whiskers or prehensile tentacles. I want to do a future piece that demonstrates how she lights up.
While I was reading, I was trying to imagine what the Siren's mouth mechanics were like. She's a gulper eel who can eat fish whole, and thinking of her mouth just stretching wide and constricting like a draw string bag seemed silly to me. I picture that she wraps her mouth around the sides of her head, tucking them under her ear fins and under her hair. The lines of her lips seal together tightly and are very fine and nearly invisible when unused. Closer to the middle of her mouth her lips are more plush and thus more visible, making her appear to have a regular human sized mouth. If she needs a wider maw, she can unfold her jaws and reveal all the rest of the teeth she can use to grip her meal. Gulpers have a really funky mouth, but it's amazing to see them unfold. I was only able to find one video for reference The first position her mouth takes is very intimidating and shows off all her teeth. The second position swings her side hinges down and forward into the widest position a gulper can make to swallow biiiig food.
