The Rusalka is a spirit, bound to the body of water where she died. They are women scorned, women lost, killed by their own hand, or that of a lover. They seek revenge upon the person who caused their death, as that is the only release from the mortal plane. She is beautiful, with long red hair, and a fair form. Her voice is sweet and melodious. She lures young men to their doom. When she successfully grasps a victim with her hair, she pulls them into her pond, where she holds them underwater until they drown. The Rusalka, however, is not entirely malevolent. She seeks to defend those in need, protecting those who approach her for aid from that which would harm them. Instinct: to entice
