[hider=Seraphina Stoneveil]Character Name - Seraphina Stoneveil
Alias - Sera
Archetype - Cryptid (I think?) - Gorgon
Age - 27
Day/Night Job - Archivist
Powers - Stone Sight - while it's not permanent, it's still undoubtedly uncomfortable for the victim. She can control it, but typically wears sunglasses just in case. Veil - she has a veiling spell on her that allows her to take a more human appearance to other humans until they have had other contact/experience with the supernatural or she drops it around them. 
Skills - Negotiation, unexpected strength, disguise/veiling herself, locator of information - she can find what you're looking for, either in her archive or elsewhere, for a price. 
Weaknesses - Fire in particular, tends to avoid bright light too if she can help it, but does like things kept warm. Beheading if you want to get extreme. Freezing cold shuts her down too. 
Personality - Calm, confident, unnerving, trustworthy, protective. 
Appearance - Seraphina's 'hair' is made up of several snakes that are mostly gold, with a few bronze ones, reaching to her mid-back when they are relaxed. Her eyes are a pale, milky-blue colour with no discernible pupil. She stands at 5'11'', making her considerably taller than what would be considered average for adult women, and she has a lithe, yet athletic build. She holds herself with a semi-formal posture, not being too rigid, but certainly not relaxed either. She has medium-dark skin tone, with gold scales in patches on her face, neck, arms, torso and legs. She has a heart face shape, with high cheekbones. She also has fangs.
In her 'human disguise', her hair looks like dark brown braids, and her eyes dark brown with a pupil. She also does not have scales or fangs.
Seraphina can typically be found wearing a long, flowy maxi dresses that have a halter top, with pale gold chiffon overlays. She also wears a gold, snake-like arm cuff that wraps up her left arm and gold sandal-like shoes that also wrap halfway up her calf. She always wears elegant sunglasses, to help prevent her accidentally using her stone sight on someone. 

BRIEF Bio - Grew up in Darkwater, careful to remain hidden from humans by learning the veiling/disguising spell so that she would look like a normal human around them. She took a great interest in her parents' private library, which was filled with books about a variety of creatures and supernatural beings - including some ancient ones and ones that are thought to be extinct. She would often be caught sneaking into it, picking one of the books at random and spending time just reading them. Her parents, being a couple of hundred years old and were travellers in their youth (although they are still considered fairly young by gorgon standards), amassed quite the vast collection.

Seraphina inherited the library from her parents when they chose to leave Darkwater to travel to Greece some years ago. She turned it into the Stoneveil Archives. A sort of underground if you know, you know kind of thing. While it's not for public browsing, Seraphina typically helps others find information that they're looking for in her archive, but it always comes with a price. Sometimes it's a new book that she doesn't have, sometimes it's a three-tailed mouse for her snakes, or something else entirely.

Story Arcs - 
Information Location - her main purpose, most likely repeating. Seraphina is visited and asked to help find some information on someone or something, and she accepts the request, and names her price. Over time, she'll warm up to frequent customers and even do them favours. We can discuss a pre-established relationship of this kind too. (Group)
Threatened Archive - after refusing to help a villain that is seeking something dangerous/forbidden, her and her archive is threatened. She, reluctantly, seeks help or guidance to help protect both her integrity and her archive. Probably something that's later on in the roleplay. (Team Up or Group)
Third Story Arc (WIP)

Supporting Characters - Customers of all varieties (other cryptids/supernatural beings, hunters, etc.), a currently undetermined villain, a group (Scooby Gang?) or someone she'll approach for help, additional other players. 
Additional Notes - WIP[/hider]

Here we go! Figured we could have a source of information that slowly warms up to the heroes over time. I'm still working on a few details, such as additional story arcs, but I hope she's okay so far.
