Earth-rooted. Deep-green. Ancient as the shoreline itself.

Bri’s Sirens of the North transformation emerged from the wildest edges of the forest-water threshold. She became a siren shaped not by shimmering light but by moss, root, and marrow—an embodiment of the deep green magic that breathes beneath the surface of the Northwoods.

Her palette was richly organic: shadowed emerald, wild fern, muted teal, and the earthy textures of dried petals and moss. I wove natural elements into her styling—lichen tones, weathered botanical scraps, vine-like ribbons—creating the feeling of a creature born where water meets forest floor. Her look carried the energy of something ancient, half-forgotten, and beautifully untamed.

With her powerful gaze and grounded presence, Bri transformed into a freshwater guardian—mystical, raw, and rooted in the heartbeat of the land. Amanda Anderson captured her in a way that feels almost mythological: sunlight on moss, breath on stone, the moment before magic resurfaces.

This is the siren who rises from the earth rather than the sea.
Deep-green. Earthen. Elemental.
A living echo of the wild.
