Before I was born I was thought of in Italy, but I never thrived there, nor would you find me there now.

People describe me as someone who is intelligent, warm, welcoming, a little posh, an environmentalist, and sometimes a bit jittery.

Being a healthy person, I like to drink and often have milk for strong bones. Some of my favourite flavours are vanilla, white chocolate, caramel, and mocha.

My name is Siren, but people better know me by my nick names Small, Tall, or maybe even Grande.
