[/center]


Name: Elena Eudusa Agnes
Age: 19
Gender: Female
Race: Reincarnated Devil- Half Human Half Gorgon.
Ranking: Queen
Appearance: 
Elena stands at roughly 5 foot 11 inchs, being two inchs taller then her mother, She is of average weight for her age and height and her figure can be seen as an athletic build, likely a result of her practice on the track teams though it might also have to do with her parentage. Strangely she has no tattoos or blemishes on her body, which can easily be chalked up to her mother. 

The most peculiar thing about her is her eyes, an unnatural shade of amber that shouldn't be physically possible under normal biology. They are eyes that even if one were to not take in their supernatural properties seem to elicit a fear response in most organisms. As if they unconsciously know what they are looking at but can't place a finger on it. 

Skills:
CQC skills - She has skill in close quarter combat mainly to do with boxing and wrestling, as a result of her interest in fights. This skills generally allow her to wrestle and fight a regular opponent without tapping into her extreme strength, (essentially only using what could be described as a normal amount of force.) 

Medicinal Aid - She is trained in first aid, capable of providing basic and to some cases intermediate medical care. She is knowledgeable in treating broken bones, cuts and similar physical injuries and isn't unwilling to provide aid to those that need it. 

Taunting: When it comes to purposely making creatures and other people angry nobody seems to do it better then Elena. She is capable of breaking the most Iron of wills by just being a completely and utter bother. On purpose of course. She generally uses this in order to break an opponents cool, if they are frustrated they are more likely to make mistakes and if they make mistakes she can capitalise on them. 

Improvisation: When it comes to the art of pulling something out of nowhere and rolling with it. Elena is pretty compatible with any situation, She is able to make do with the cards that are dealt to her and roll with it formulating new plans on the run. It is this flexibility that makes her a fearsome foe as she can adapt to your adaptions and plan around your plan while your still planning your plan with her plan.  

Intimidation: When it comes to the art of intimadating, Elena is unsurprisingly very good at it. Perhaps it is the way she carries herself or perhaps its the way her tone of voice sounds that when she is annoyed you start to feel very small.

Magic:
[hider=The Eyes of the Gorgon]
The eyes of the Gorgon inherited from the blood of her mother Stheno, due to the fact Stheno's eyes were notably weaker then that of Medusa's these eyes don't have the characteristic instantly turn to stone properties that one would expect them to have, likewise the dilution of the gorgon blood with that of a human has also left them weaker then Stheno's herself, so while they are still extremely powerful they cannot turn a target to stone in the time Elena can hold her eyes open (that time being about 10 minutes on a good day without any movement) and said time considerable shortens if any irritants get in her eyes. 
 
The main feature of the eyes is their ability to cause those within their vision to suffer instant and complete paralysis in their entire body (however they remain standing if they were standing.) In order for then paralysis to be applied one need only see her eyes from either a reflection or directly looking into her irises then from this point on the Gorgons eyes inflict a condition on the viewer rendering the viewer paralysed (This paralyse cannot be removed with magic) and from this first viewing the eyes of the gorgon are imprinted into the targets mind meaning that no matter where they look as long as the gorgon is looking at them or they acknowledge the gorgon to be there they will simply freeze up paralysed. As this secondary effect can be seen as a curse embedded within a memory, if one was to wholly forget consciousness and subconsciously the eyes of a gorgon they would be rendered free from the secondary effect unless it was reapplied. This secondary effect of the eyes is Unique to Stheno and Elena her descendant, both of them can render people immune with a simple chant unique to the both of them however they must be the ones to chant it and it only renders people immune to the secondary effect of the eyes of the person that cast it, so Stheno cannot protect people from Elena's eyes and vice versa. 

One is freed temporarily from the freezing effects when a gorgon closes their eyes but only until those eyes reopen.  

For Perseus never looked directly into the eyes of the gorgon even in the mirror, he simply stared at her hair or her neck. For even he knew that even the reflection carried her deadly gaze. 

(It can be noted that other forms that aren't reflections, such as illusions or videos of the eyes do not elicit the secondary effort nore do they cause any paralysis, also strangely on video the eyes of a gorgon appear completely normal. It can also be noted that Gorgons can stare into each others eyes without issue.)

An easy way to counter the eyes is to effectively utilise a group strategy that aims to force the gorgons eyes closed.

[hider= Serpentine Magicks]
A disciple of magic pioneered by the middle gorgon sister, all magic related to it is related to the aspect of the serpent. Generally as a rule of thumb the more attuned to a serpent one is the stronger the effects these magics have. Being essentially half Gorgon and thus related to the pioneer of this art she is capable of using its spells to full effect.

[hider= Shedding Shield]
This magic is a defensive magic based on the concept of a snake shedding its skin, it can be deployed preemptive or can be held onto to act as a one-use shield against attacks, It effectively functions by solidying a thin amount of the users body, which then takes the damage before the magical layer is molted off. If it is molted off preemptively it can be used as a essentially a bait target as it looks exactly like the user minus the presence of eyes. which are hollowed out.  
[/hider]

[hider=Serpent Conjuring]
Magic that effectively takes the a strand of hair from the user as a catalyst (the hair must be unattached from the head or the spell seems to fail for some reason.) Using this strand of hair and by channeling a small incantation the strand can be transmogrified into the form of a snake, the colour of which is dependant on the hair colour used. These snakes can be of varying sizes the largest of which are capable of restraining a human with fast speeds. Elena makes use of them for this purpose but she also uses them as temporary familiars due to the ability of the caster to share vision with their creations.

Some of the snakes produced can also be venomous however this venom is usually mild and functions as either a highly distracting irritant or a slowing paralytic, neither of which are enough to kill but can cause sufficent disruption. Due to her Gorgonic blood Elena is capable of spawning large numbers of serpents quickly as long as she has enough hair strands plucked out before hand (therefore this skill isn't a good idea in battle.)

[hider=Hunters Vision]
This spell works by effectively filtering what the users eyes see to only being able to see heat signitures, this comes with its own cons and benefits but this is generally better for night time usage, function similiarly to night vision. It also enhances the wielders sense of taste to the point where they can figure out whats in the air through flicking their tongue similar to that of a snake.

[hider= Snake Charming]
Snake charming effective can be seen as an add on to the the mages ability to create snakes from their hair. This effect basically allows them to assume mental control over all snakes in the area including in some cases. Mythical ones if their skill is high enough with this ability even treating them as temporary familars. This skill also allows the user to disguise snakes as mundane items in order to lay a trap.

Strengths:
+ As the Daughter of Stheno, the Gorgon Sister whom represented physicality, both physical beauty and pinnacles of the body. She has great strength, speed, stamina and endurance more akin to a monster then that of a human or even a demon, further enhanced by her piece. 
+ Humble but only around those she feels deserves respect, otherwise she'd simply remind you of the fact that you'd never compete to her or those that she respects. Much to many peoples annoyances.
+ Realist, she knows when shes beat but yet she also knows when she needs to go further for everyone else's sake. Simply put, she thinks realistic about what the future may bring and the outcomes but hopes they will be positive never the less. 


Weaknesses: 
- Rebellious, Elena dislikes conforming to rigid rules and plans and thus prefers to go her own way whenever possible. This makes it really hard to get her to follow any team plan (not impossible however just requires alot of convincing and getting through her complaining) and makes it hard for her to follow rules (for example she refuses to wear the school uniform simply because doesn't want to look like everyone else.)
- Weakness to Cutting weapons, While Elena's body is extremely resistant to blunt force (including to the point where she can fall off high buildings without slowing her descent and generally be fine.). She is still extremely liable to cutting based attacks as they will still lacerate her skin.  
- Fighter Mentality - Elena is the type of person who will put up her fists and prefer to duke it out hand to hand then deal with people with words. Its not because she can't hold up a discussion easily but because she feels fists speak more volumes then words. Its because of this that she can end up getting into unnecessary fights and even getting others into fights they didn't want to get into. Making her a bit of a hassle to deal with if say.. .you were in the middle of a meeting with an opposing peerage. 


Personality: 
Elena's personality can be described with many words but it generally boils down to aberrant spirit. She is at her foremost an upfront and confrontational type of person that isn't afraid to talk to people on even the most embarrassing of topics. One can see from most of the discussions with her is that she has her own outlook on the world and prefers to learn things the hard way then being spoon fed everything as such she can be seen as impulsive and driven and more likely to rush into things without prior planning.

Her rebellious nature also makes her a bit of a mischievous person, as she gets some personal amount of pleasure from messing with people and driving them mad. To the point where one can call her slightly anarchistic. Which she does not deny because if a fight were to break out she'd be in the thick of it with everyone else. 

When around those she has respect for or she cares about her personality has a slight shift, she is still very loud and generally a nuisance however its obvious that she cares for these people in the way that she carries herself, to the point where if people were to start making trouble she'd make it her business to stop it as fast and harmlessly as possible (which isn't too hard considering the nature of her eyes). She is still a bit of a mischievous trickster towards these people however but the pranks are generally more tame. In a nutshell she can be seen as the rebellious big sister, 

History: 
Elena was birth was a strange one. She was born as the result of a copulation of a blind greek man living in japan and a gorgon. Specifically the Gorgon Stheno, A woman whom can only be described as beauty incarnate whoms sister had rised the ire of the gods... but that is old history. Elena's mother had nothing but love for her daughter and her husband but she couldn't stay around constantly in case of if the gods got any funny ideas about monster hunting, safe to say it wouldn't surprise anyone the Greek gods were known for being terrible people. So of course a monster having offspring would cause some stirring in olympus.

Never the less Elena's early life was pretty interesting, Her Father had a hard time finding babysitters for her because of the fact she liked to look at who was rocking her to sleep and feeding her the problem arising from that being obvious but he much to Elena's and her Mother's gratitude never gave up trying to care for his daughter becoming a part timer and leaving his daughter safely in a playpen in his work place. 

When her Mother did come to visit (which was always without fail at the end of a month) she was always bearing gifts and things that she thought Elena would like, and Elena's monthly trips with her Mother and Father into the woods were some of her happiest memories, memories of a simple time where she didn't have to care for anything but of course simple things never really last long because as she grew up she became smarter and her more prolific traits of her current personality started to take root. Elena had a bit of an issue controlling her bloodlust at this time. Something her mother would suspect would happen considering her daughter was manifesting the traits of her mother even if they were partially diluted. 

This blood lust while innocent and without ill will. did cause her to become hungry to fight things including her fellow classmates, The bullies were beaten up, the weak were defended and detentions were due for her not that she cared so much. Her father was called and her mother was eventually told by her father when she arrived again on her visits. This didn't seem to even faze her mother however whom simply told her that she needed to vent it more constructively through sport or the like. It was her mother that taught her how to fight properly employing techniques commonly used in the ancient greek wrestling sport. the Pankration and of course Elena enjoyed every moment.

When she enrolled into her new school, she was still very much a fiery individual when it came to such things, and she was also a bit of a divergent soul, she didn't attend classes at the appropriate times yet was still doing perfectly fine on her test results, she was always five minutes late or maybe she didn't show up at all. Safe to say she didn't really care for her own education, always only doing just enough to make sure she was never expelled.  

Of course that being said being such a troublemaker was obviously going to put her on the bad side of some people and in a poetic slice of fate. The big brother of one of the bullies now wielding something more dangerous then what she was had ambushed her in an alleyway. Sure she had gorgon eyes but they wouldn't be able to do much if she wasjumped from behind and shanked in the lower abdomen. Of course her first instinct was to grip hold of her wound and not to turn around and thus they managed to shank her a second time before she turned around with rage in her eyes. Her assailant frozen by her legendary gaze. He was scared certainly but she was growing weaker as the moments dragged on. It took all of her effect to scare him off with a strong punch to his shoulder, one that would definitely leave a mark.  

She stumbled backwards in the alleyway, no cameras, nothing to show how she had died. The guy picked his spots good. She tried to cry out but found herself too weak to do so, all that came out was a strangled yell so she just slumped down against the wall weakly staring at the brickwork opposite her as her side continued to bleed, the blood seeping out out noticeably. Part of her, whatever part knew that she wouldn't be saved by some sort of divine intervention. The Greek gods were too cruel and she certainly wasn't saintly enough for any other religion...

She closed her eyes as she heard the pitter-patter of footsteps in the distance. Turns out when she opened them again, her Savior hadn't been so divine but very much the opposite and that is how she came to serve in the peerage. Wild and carefree but still extremely loyal to the woman that gave her a second chance and kept her Mom and Dad from breaking down into tears.
