[b]Name: [/b]Lilith Al-Alia-Al-Akhtar “Copperhead”

[b]Age:[/b] 24

[b]Sex:[/b] Female

[b]Shifter Form:[/b] Lamia (Snake-Demon)

[b]Appearance:[/b] Lilith is Scoto-Syrian, so her features are a notably Middle Eastern, with flowing wavy black hair and a rugged sort of unkempt beauty.  She has strange serpentine blue eyes due to a minor leak in her shifter powers, and her skin feels a little scaly, tougher than what would be considered natural but not particularly noticeable. She is not a tall woman, standing about 5,4, but has a quite athletic, muscled body, but with some notable assets. She has a Romanesque nose with a strong bridge, as well as full lips and a relatively angular face. She wears a long snake skin longcoat, which matches her shifter scales with its copper and black patterns; underneath she tends to wear crimson or orange colours, and long flowing clothes, as well as high black leather boots. She doesn’t wear makeup at all, and never enjoys wearing it, arguing it makes her look like a porcelain doll. As it is, she looks a little country-ish, rugged but not unattractive. Occasionally she wears a Stetson with a kingfisher feather in the ring.

A complex snake like ring pattern covers her right arm, which is intermingled with a lot of alchemical symbology, which she had tattooed on in second year. Occasionally she wears short black gloves on her hands, but mostly she doesn’t as it makes her hands uncomfortable, apparently rubbing her slightly scaly skin wrong.

[b]Shifter type:[/b] Titan

In her Shifter form she changes into an exotic serpentine beauty, with the upper body of a woman and the lower body of a snake. Her skin is pale as Ivory or Marble and her form becomes more curvy and full. Her muscles also become more prominent and powerful, complimented by a 20 meter tail, with total body size of 30 meters. Her Scales are thick and glossy, like living plate armour, and are coloured copper-orange and black, with a white stripe running down the spine, and her upper body’s skin whilst apparently softer, is almost as tough as her scales. 

Her face loses her cheery friendly disposition and becomes far more predatory, complimented by a series of long, jagged fangs laced with paralytic neurotoxin nicknamed “A Lamia’s kiss”. Her eyes once vibrant blue are now dark red and copper, giving her a deadly but hypnotic edge, matched by long dark straight hair and thick talons on the ends of her fingers. She’s a particularly large shifter, but despite this she is a swift and deadly killer, making up for her size with speedy ferocity. She’s not as strong as some of the Titans, but she’s faster, and in the right position her strength is good enough to constrict even the strongest shifter. During battle she usually wears her own set of ornate, sophisticated and beautifully crafted Grecian, brass-pressed black armour as thick as her own scales. Outside of battle she’s usually less cumbersomely dressed, and her actions could be said to be somewhat… brazen. She uses a massive cleaver like blade and a heavy shield whilst in battle, using it to club or hack to death those that opposed her.

[b]Abilities:[/b] Swordsmanship, athletics, Hand-to-Hand combat and basic medical training

[b]Powers:[/b] As a Titan she is much stronger than most shifters and more heavily armoured, naturally. She’s not as strong as some Titans, like giants or dragons, but this is more than made up by her capacity for terrifyingly fast reaction speeds. Only a Titan could reasonably expect to survive her direct blows without breaking anything, and she uses her weapons to batter her way through opposition if she encounters tough resistance. Her fangs are coated with an agonising paralytic neurotoxin, and even without her teeth are sharp and strong, well able to rip and tear a body to shreds if she wanted to.

A secondary aspect of her powers is her ability to create low level emotive fields around her, the most common being terror which she uses to frighten, scramble or paralyse her opponents. Another is to use seductive powers to equally distract and cause dissension amongst enemy ranks, or to muddle the mind so she can make a killing blow. When using this power she usually moves into a slow serpentine dance, advancing slowly towards them, like a snake would weave and dive in the approach of its paralysed prey, before striking with brutal efficiency.

Her giant tree-trunk like tail is also particularly useful to bludgeon and destroy things in her path, and can reach quite fast speeds with her coils, as well as a great ability to climb and cross difficult terrain, although she doesn’t much like it as it’s uncomfortable on her scales. 

[b]History:[/b] Lilith is a fourth generation Syrian born in Scotland, her great grandparents having made the trip across a little over a century ago, and as such she is a very Western sort of woman. She’s a non-practicing member of the Assyrian church of the East along with her parents, but doesn’t have much to connect her to “The old country” and only knows shaky Syrian. She doesn’t speak much about her history but most of it seems perfectly normal. She grew up in a loving household with parents that took care of her and loved her along with three younger brothers, and from an early age had a kind and gentle disposition, if a little quirky. Even from an early age she’d become a somewhat athletic and tomboyish, happily pushing herself to her physical limits, strengthening her body and her endurance, making her quick on her feet if somewhat diminutive, standing only at 5,4.

She’d always been fascinated with Shifters, but she’d never managed to work up the courage to try and go for it, and had instead focused on a life which was more primarily based on earning a university degree in Arts and Humanities. However one night she suddenly decided to make the shift from gaining a degree towards becoming a living weapon to protect earth. Nobody knows what exactly happened, not even her parents, but they supported her anyway, although they did worry about her safety a lot. Because of this, they sometimes visit and frequently message her whilst she’s on campus, as her family managed to gain moderate affluence through a successful store chain set up by their great grandfather. Her parents are still confused about why she decided on an immediate change, but on occasion they have wondered if she was running from something she couldn’t deal with…

When she first visited a Shifter testing facility she was just as wrapped up in the overall enthusiasm as the rest of them, and wondered what she’d be aligned with, and became very excited when she was told that preliminary tests suggested something serpentine, and definitely a Titan. She’d always loved snakes and had kept them as a teenager and child, as well as having a pet boa with her which she nicknamed “Silky Sam” when she lived on university campus. Eventually it was pinned down that she’d likely become a Lamia, a serpentine demon, which made her quite excited and eager for the beginning of her change.

When she went into the tank and it began to change her, she almost burst the tank prematurely as she unconsciously wriggled her coils into a bunch inside the machine. Despite this, her transformation mostly went without a hitch, but she did have some difficulty adapting to her new form of mobility, which caused some issues in getting out of the tank, however eventually she mastered the basics of it. When she first caught sight of herself in the mirror she stood stalk still in absolute shock, only to let out a happy squeak of approval and hug her tail firmly. From day once she absolutely adored her shifter form, and made that clear when she gave all the scientists involved crushing hugs, causing several broken ribs in the process.

She sent them all flowers and handmade “get well” cards afterwards, and apologised profusely in them.

The first years of her training went well form her, and she quickly mastered her Lamia form, becoming apt also at sword fighting and hand to hand combat, as well as being highly educated due to her university years. She managed to make a good impression due to her kind and friendly nature, but many found her good cheer grating, including Morrigan, who she is slightly scared of and tends to cower when she’s around, even when she’s a massive shifter which is twenty times her size. She gets on well with Draco, who is patient enough to put up with her compulsive quirks and obliviousness, and he in return appreciates her, but remains very worried about putting her in a violent situation, worried that her good natured ways will make her prone to forgiveness, and the carnage will cause her emotional distress. Despite this aspect of her training, she’s remained dedicated to her course and is willing to fight to protect what she holds dear, which has alleviated some of Draco’s concern. 

Since the years have passed since her first day as a Shifter, she has begun to notice a gradual bleeding of her powers into her human form. The most noticeable of these was her eyes which became slit blue orbs, like a serpents, and her skin took on a silky, but scaly texture which hadn’t been there before, she’d also noticed her physical muscles have become much more prominent over the years, but she is far below the behemoth-like standards of Jones, and the bleed-over seems to be gradually slowing down. 

Although outwardly friendly and very sociable, she hasn’t been able to make any permanent friends, and has more taken on the position as a bit of a “hanger-on”, although there have been a few deviations. Recently she’d caught sight of a pretty Kitsune who she was interested in making friends with, but was too concerned she might end up saying something wrong or come across creepy due to her obsession with that Shifters fluffy tails. She hopes to introduce herself at some point, but hasn’t had a chance to do so before the sudden emergency with the Endolan invasion. Hopefully she might be able to rectify the situation.

[b]Personality:[/b] Lilith, despite being a child-eating demon-snake shifter, is a remarkably friendly and sociable person. She’s always in a chipper mood and approaches life with a smile and a hug or two… or thousand. She’s a very physical person, both in physical interests but also in expressing herself, and she tends to hug people on whim, even if she doesn’t know them that well. She is a bit of a dreamer and can get overly focused on odd or strange topics or just ramble confusingly, and she can occasionally be oblivious and unintentionally rude, but it’s never meant to insult and she’ll get worried and upset with herself if told off for it. She loves her snake form and is particularly proud of it, loving her tail, which she thinks looks very beautiful. Being bullied or insulted tends to make her very upset and she’ll become clingy if sad or miserable, but by in large is easy to cheer up again with a little bit of effort. 

Generally, she’s a person who tends to be easy going and friendly, and will not resort to violence outside of a battle context. She is very difficult to enrage, and she’s more likely just to become upset rather than violent, but when enraged she becomes nothing less than a rampaging elephant in her desire to destroy whatever made her angry, and is difficult to calm down. She has a particularly odd sense of humour and can find things funny for the most strange reasoning, but she’s not a fan of making fun of people. She’s a generous soul, and quite willing to try speak good about all people, regardless whether their friends or not, but she can just as easily be chilly, cruel and brutal when dealing with people she genuinely considers  to be her enemies. 

[b][b]Notes:[/b][/b]
-Solar and weather patterns tend to affect her moods somewhat; Sun makes her sleepy and willing to bask in her free time, with a blissful expression on her face. She doesn’t much enjoy rain or winter, as it makes her depressed and sluggish feeling, but for the most part she’s able to struggle through it. Oddly she is quiet affected by full moons, she tends to dance during them.
-She likes to punch peoples shoulders good naturedly when she’s not hugging people, and can be a bit of a ladette sometimes, with a small competitive streak.
-She loves fluted instruments, a lot.
-She is not modest. Not at all. Mix that with oblivious and you have a pretty awkward mix for some people.
-Her voice is dry and cracked, with a distinctive Scottish accent, but which also has a bit of a bass note to it, her voice shifts in shifter form and drops an octave, giving off the sound of a vibrato and thrum when she speaks, which is quite serpentine.
-She coils up in a ring when scared, or when trying to defend herself.
