Siri is an attractive young woman.{{book ref|wb|6}} She has the [[Royal Locks]] and has poor control over them, allowing them to follow her moods naturally. This leads her to often have blonde hair: the color of joy and excitement.

Siri is a hasty and impulsive youth.{{book ref|wb|44}} Though she also has an inner steel, as proven by her ability to survive in the [[Court of Gods]] and learning to control her hair in tense situations such as her confrontations with [[Treledees]].{{book ref|wb|40}} This is also emphasized by her stubbornness which she uses to strengthen her in difficult situations.{{book ref|wb|7}}

She struggles with some feelings of inferiority especially when compared with her 'perfect' sister [[Vivenna]].{{book ref|wb|1}}{{book ref|wb|4}} She recognizes that this is part of why she was always defiant as a child: partly to gain attention (something forbidden by the teachings of [[Austrism]]) and partly because she knew she could never live up to Vivenna's example.{{book ref|wb|18}} She likes being spontaneous and colorful, unlike her elder sister. This makes her feel a failure in [[Idris]], but helps her excel in [[T'Telir]]. Siri is drawn to the ostentatious and the mysterious. Where many traditional Idrians, such as Vivenna, are disgusted by the displays of wealth and talent in Hallandren, Siri must force herself to not be distracted by them.{{book ref|wb|27}}

== Attributes and Abilities ==

Siri is very brave, empathetic and acts with initiative. This is best demonstrated by her willingness to sacrifice herself for her family and people in becoming the bride of the God King. Later she shows these in her confrontation of Susebron (Which she believed could cost her her life) and subsequently her teaching him to communicate.

As a member of the Royal family of Idris she has the Royal Locks. This means she can change her hair's length and color at will, though it takes effort.{{book ref|wb|1}}

}}

Siri is the youngest child of the Idrian royal family, and spent most of her youth feeling and being largely redundant. Her oldest sister, Vivenna, was being raised to marry the Hallandren [[God King]], her only brother [[Ridger]] was set to become the next king of Idris, and the second-youngest daughter, [[Fafen]], had joined the [[Austrism|Austrian Monasteries]], as one child from each family of Idrian nobility was expected to do. Siri had no particular expectations on her, and so whiled away her days ignoring her tutors and pushing Austrism's conservative limits. She refused to control her Royal Locks, instead letting her hair always reflect her emotions; she picked colorful flowers and gave them to the children of [[Bevalis]]. Her father typically ordered Siri to work in the royal kitchen when he bothered to address her misbehavior at all. Unbeknownst to him Siri was friends with the cook, [[Mab]], and enjoyed the work.{{book ref|wb|1}}

When the time came to fulfill the treaty he had signed with the [[God King]], King Dedelin decided to send Siri to wed him in Vivenna's place. So at seventeen, Siri found herself ripped from her carefree life and deposited in a carriage to [[T'Telir]]. She spent the journey trying to come to terms with her father's decision, mostly by yelling her confusion at the small group of guards that accompany her.{{book ref|wb|4}}

As she arrived in the capital, Siri was taken aback at the massive [[Lifeless]] honor guard that met her, and the pervasive color that decorated every person, building, and market square. She gathered herself enough to order her equally overwhelmed guards to leave her and return home, and Siri vanished alone into the Court of Gods.{{book ref|wb|5}}

Siri was stripped, bathed, dressed, and groomed in a whirlwind of activity as a [[Pahn Kahl]] scribe called [[Bluefingers]] explained that there would be no formal wedding ceremony. She, the Vessel, would simply enter the God King's bedchambers and await his whim. She was told she could not talk to, make eye contact with, kiss, or even proactively touch [[Susebron]], but must enter, strip, kneel, and wait for his signal to approach the bed. Then Siri was led, in a dress magnitudes more extravagant than anything she had ever seen, to the God King's chambers.{{book ref|wb|6}}

Being concerned with both her and Susebron's safety, when Susebron's High Priest talks to her and guesses how she's thinking, she realizes that the priests are 'reading' her emotions from her hair and begins practicing keeping it stable, as her sister [[Vivenna]] always did.

== Relationships ==

{{image|Susebron and Siri by Gar leyva.jpeg|side=right|height=250px}}

=== Family ===

She is the daughter of King [[Dedelin]] of Idris, and the wife of the God King [[Susebron]]. She is the sister of [[Vivenna]], [[Ridger]] and [[Fafen]].{{book ref|wb|1}} As a member of the Idrian royal family, she has a lineage that traces back to [[Vo]].{{book ref|wb|32}}

===Susebron===

Siri's marriage was arranged by her father, who sent her, instead of Vivenna to fulfill the treaty. At first, Susebron was a stranger to her, this person who just sat there in the darkness at night. Eventually, Susebron approaches her, showing her a storybook. This is the start of their relationship in more than an official sense, as she teaches him how to read. They grow closer through Siri's lessons, and they start communicating through writing. They share parts of their cultures with each other, and Siri even comments that he knows her better than anyone back at home.They grow to truly love each other. {{book ref|wb|48}} When Bluefingers and the Pahn Khal try to take over they are both captured, and Bluefingers intends to kill them. Thanks to [[Lightsong]], Susebron manages to save her. When Siri and Vivenna reunite, Susebron talks with Vivenna, who remarks in her thoughts that she can tell just how much Susebron and Siri love and understand each other.{{book ref|wb|58}}

=== Returned ===

Siri initially find's Lightsong's playful banter to be an insult, but quickly realizes that he means no harm and warms up to him after he helps her navigate the politics of the [[Court of Gods]]. She believes that he is a good man, albeit a strange one.{{book ref|wb|27}}

=== Priests ===

Siri enjoys Llarimar's helpfulness, contrasted by the discourteous attitude she's experienced from the priests in her own court.{{book ref|wb|27}}
