RUSALKA: 

In Slavic mythology, a rusalka (plural: rusalki or rusalky) is a female ghost, 

water nymph, succubus, or mermaid-like demon that often dwelt in a waterway.

Rusalka in Russian folklore appears as a beautiful maiden or assumes the form of a siren: 

a half women and half-bird or half-fish.
