Melusine

Melusine is one of the nine currently playable heroes in the Ravenswatch. Melusine the Siren commands the waters and uses them to infuse the will-o-wisps at her side to submerge those foolish enough to be caught within her captivating song.

Melusine was already a dangerous siren before the Nightmares impregnated her with a mysterious child. She uses powerful water magic and charming song to summon will-o-wisps to drown anyone with plans to harm her precious cargo. Melusine's atypical fighting style is unsettling to behold. Monsters, fill your ears with wax, lest the melodious mother fill your lungs with brine.

Melusine starts the game with 90 Maximum Health.
