brinewitchKani has a long and sordid history, that is going to be summed up as best as possible within the next few paragraphs. More details on the various chapters of his life will be expanded on in the comments below.
For starters, no fairy is ever created with a soul. They are all slaves to their own nature, and have more or less no free will at all. With this in mind, Kani has a soul, and a large helping of free will. He was not born with either, but rather, it was bestowed upon him suddenly one beautiful and cloudless summer day in what would eventually be Bimini, as he swam out from his island, and found a woman on the beach on the opposing mainland shore. It only took a moment, but then and there, Kani experienced the one thing no fairy ever can honestly ever feel, love. And the moment that emotion settled into his brain, it gave life to a soul, followed be free will, and his first choice that he ever made in his life, that was outside of what his nature dictated, was to let her listen to him sing without ensnaring her.
He sung to her for days, every day she'd come back to listen, and every day he'd preform for her. He grew to love her more and more, but never was brave enough to swim to the mainland to speak with her. His fear would eventually come back to bite him.
That beautiful beach, where he made her young days happy and full of wonder and joy, became the place she chose to be married to the human man she'd fallen in love with. He watched them kiss on the beach, and then after the ceremony, they left. He never saw her again.
It took him another fifty years to be bold enough to leave his island, and when he first started with trying to find her, he was penniless. And shirtless and almost pantsless. An elderly couple living by the beach found the siren wandering nearby, and assumed he had come from a ship wreck or had fallen over board. They took him in and fed him his first cooked meal, which cemented his love of food, and in return, he sang for them.
Well they weren't ones to overlook a good thing when it falls into their lap, so they took Kani right to town, and presented him to the local opera and theater group. Impressed with what they heard, he was fast made a member. A little magic might have influenced the speed of him being added to the cast, and in less than five years, he'd become a well known singer, traveling with a troupe across the country on mainland America now.
During his travels, he learned that men and women were equally enjoyable to have, and had a few relationships with both. Men were usually quieter than women were, but he got something of a reputation for being easy.
One day, a handsome young man, rich and charming, invited Kani to sing at a private party for a considerable amount of money, and when the siren agreed and followed him out, he was viciously attacked. Unfortunately, the man was less interested in having a singer, and more interested in having a preserved siren corpse to display in his curio cabinet. The scar on the corner of Kani's mouth is an old relic of this fight, slashed with an iron knife that had originally been meant for his throat.
Of course, his attacker died miserably, and to this day, Kani has a deep seated hatred of attractive, charismatic men, distrustful of everything they say, and a lot more likely to visit violence on them if he feels even a little uncomfortable.
To this day, he's still wandering, somewhat still trapped in the twenties, which were his favorite year.
