Lorelei

The Witch of the Black Ocean

Not quite, but close

Lorelei was once an Oceanid like her sisters, a patron diety of a river. Centuries ago a skirmish between the Titans and the Olympians irradiated her home, and she vanished, believed dead. Recently however she has reappeared, her body below the ribcage replaced by a bulky but undulating tail of dark malmetal. Further cybernetics lurk inside what remains of her organic body and the fully robotic sections house an impressive array of dangerous equipment including a micro-aegis, concealed missile ports and an antigravity flight system which lets her 'swim' through the air as if it were water.

Having acquired a small band of followers, Lorelei managed to seize a Dorian transreme slated for decomissioning and has carved a trail of daring theft across known space, eluding all pursuit.
