Sirenians

Sirenians are a race of human that have adapted to live underneath the sea. They are located in all large bodies of water on Sidra. The Sea of Merchants and the Sea of Warm Calm are said to have the largest Sirenian populations.

Appearance
Sirenians can come in any color, and can be bright (saltwater) or muted (freshwater) tones, depending on the area and depth of the sea they live in. They can have markings, and like bha'naré, they can be bioluminescent. They have smooth, hairless skin and breathe through gills on their neck. They do not have noses, and instead the face is flat. Their eyes are large and dark in order to see in the depths of the water. They have webbed arms. At the hip, the Sirenian legs are fused together into a tail and end in a large, membranous fin. Sirenians also have dorsal fins on the lower back and may have decorative fins on the arms, tail, and head. Sirenians do not have any hair at all, even on top of their heads, and so head fins can sometimes be styled like hair. As such there is a market for psuedo-fins, the undersea equivalent of a wig, for both head fins and tail fins.
