Okie dokie.

Here's the snake.
She hugs. A little too well.

[list][*][u][b]Name[/b][/u]:
	Hyseleia Erenhart
[*][u][b]Age[/b][/u]:
	23
[*][u][b]Gender[/b][/u]:
	Female
[*][u][b]Race[/b][/u]: 
	Python Lamia
[*][u][b]Rank:[/b][/u]
	Iron
[*][u][b]Appearance[/b][/u]:
	If somehow, the first thing people notice about Hyseleia is her upper torso, they would find a strikingly beautiful, somewhat large woman in quite a few areas. Casually standing at almost six feet at a resting position, Hyseleia possesses long black hair that falls to her waist with a magically preserved flower -a gift from her father from one of his adventures - woven tied in place on her left temple along with a headpiece that fits snugly around her head. Long, pointed ears that twitch slightly in movement if curious or attempting to listen to something. Predatory crimson eyes with serpentine pupils and a pale complexion hidden under a simple dress and a thick warm looking hood that drapes across her shoulders and upper arms.

Oh, and scales...?

	Typically, though, what most people would first notice is that her body past her waist is that of a large serpent, covered in a thick layer of greyish scales. Indeed, Hyseleia is one of the Lamia race. A Carnivorous race of folks not often seen, especially this far north. The tip of her tail is adorned with a simple jewel and around her waist a simple skirt.
[*][u][b]Personality[/b][/u]:
	Hyseleia's personality can best be described as difficult at best. Not that she's unfriendly, at least she doesn't consider herself as such. Rather, spending fourteen of her formative years living alone with her mother and occasional visits from her father in a far off forest with only the animals she hunted, encouraged by her mother to be as...lets say, merciless as possible has colored her personality quite a bit. Driven, motivated, and tends to have a 'might makes right' view of the world. Ask for her opinion on something and she'll give it in the most blunt and brutal way possible. Ask her to do something? She'll do it, though not without commenting on how lazy you are for making her do it. She always has something to say, really, and she is not shy about sharing her rather brutally honest and brutal way of desiring to handle conflict.

	In broad strokes though, in her day to day she generally is a pleasant sort if you can handle words sharper than her fangs. While she does like spending time alone, she doesn't shy away from people joining her or finding someone to converse or hang out with. Often times, she finds a warm spot or fire to curl up by to read, drink, or simply laze about. 

	And, on the off chance someone happens to be nearby, they may just find themselves occupied for the next hour being in a scaled prison. Not that anyone would ever admit that they don't want such a thing.
[*][u][b]Brief Backstory[/b][/u]:
	Born to a Lamia mother in a forest in rural Estival, much of Hyseleia's early life and formative years were spent with just her mother, herself, and her dad when he wasn't busy out adventuring. Much of her life as a child was spent learning magic from her mother - a Lamia of some dubious origins who never learned magic from an official institution. A witch, or at least, a user of magic that wasn't trusted or looked well upon. Not that she concerned herself with such thoughts, no. She was too busy playing, learning, and generally just doing what she wanted.

	Occasionally playing pranks on adventurers and other folks passing through the forest, or simply watching them with keen curiosity.

	It wouldn't be until she was 14 that she actually got to see the wider world, much at her father behest. And to start with, she was enrolled in Estival's Mage College to lean some proper magic, much to her own chagrin. A serpent dragged out of their home and suddenly forced to adapt to city life. Not that she hated learning, no, she hated the more structured and academic nature of it all. It was no wonder then, perhaps her personality took a bit of a troublesome turn. While she did ultimately excel academically, she was always a source of trouble for both teachers and other students.

	Her time otherwise though, living with her Dad after he took time off from adventuring to raise her properly, was spent joyously. She'd also learn much more about his own exploits as Silver-ranked adventurer. Stories of his adventurers and time spent with his own companions, even if he was never a particularly famous. She took to city life surprisingly well, too, though she still finds it as noisy and the amount of people annoying, especially if they stare too long, since Lamia's are a bit of a rarity. Otherwise she spent her free time reading, sparring with her dad, and well...continuing her streak of playing pranks or otherwise messing with people. Especially those ignorant or more fearful or curious about Lamia's.

	Eventually she'd graduate from Estival's mages college with fairly high marks, and when presented with the option of returning to the forest her mother lived in or perhaps, making her own mark as an adventurer well...she would choose the latter, perhaps out of some silly sentiment and sense of adventure her father instilled in her. Not that she'd ever admit to such a childish desire.

[*][u][b]Equipment[/b][/u]:
	[i][b]Silver Floral Staff:[/b][/i] A large, silver colored staff inlaid a large blue gemstone meant to be held firmly in her tail. A floral pattern is engraved on it and is of course, what she channels most of her magic through.
[*][u][b]Skills[/b][/u]:[/list]
	Hyseleia has a natural affinity for the water element, and as such, is naturally drawn to magic of the water nature. Often times she uses it to effectively create and manipulate water in a mostly violent manner. While she does minor in a handful of other areas, shes not particularly skilled in such areas, and is quite lacking in any support or defensive ability. Such things are both boring and ill suited towards her particular style of fighting. Her mother has also instilled her with a knowledge of some perhaps, things that would be considered a bit taboo or things that would be frowned upon knowing, though she has no interest in pursuing such knowledge herself.
[hider=A handful of more common spells]
[list]
[*][i][b]Hydra's Volley[/b][/i]
	A simple spell that creates small fist sized spheres of water and launches them at targets, battering them with highly pressurized and fast moving water.
[*][i][b]Serpents Lash[/b][/i]
	A spell that forms water into large whip like streams that lash out towards opponents. Useful for bludgeoning and also restraining targets if need be. She can currently create up to five at once.
[*][i][b]Serpents Embrace[/b][/i]
	A more defensive close quarters spell to deter anyone getting to close. Coats her tail in a protective layer of water before lashing out towards a target or targets and crushing or grappling something with it.
[*][i][b]Crescent Fang[/b][/i]
	Creates an incredibly thin crescent shaped blade of fast moving, highly pressurized water that cuts through things. Size can be adjusted depending on how much mana is expended.
[*][i][b]Coiling Riptide[/b][/i]
	A spell that one may say requires concentration and likely her most complex and exhausting spell. Creates a fast moving halo of water above Hyseleia. In a resting state it slowly builds up more and more speed. Once it reaches enough speed, however, the spell slingshots a highly pressurized and fast moving drill of water towards a designated target. Once launched, the spell returns to its passive state, ramping up speed once again.
