==Characteristics==
==Characteristics==
The sword has a beautiful curved pink blade, much like a scimitar or shamshir, and has a wavy design similar to a vine on its fuller. The crossguard is golden and is shaped like a crescent moon and is embellished with small blue gemstones while the handle is purple and has a pink heart-shaped gemstone on its pommel. In ''VII'', the Siren sword's design stayed mostly the same, but with a few changes, as the lower half of the blade appeared to be grey metal rather than completely pink and the hilt no longer had the heart gem at the pommel.
