She is half human, half snake, named Cyphus!
The name is short for Ithycyphus, a genus name of a species of snake from Madagascar. (The IRL friend really likes snakes and reptiles). She has the ability to produce venom (from the short fangs she keeps tucked away unless as a last resort), and can use her massive ass snake body to coil around things (friends to hug, enemies to immobilize, we’ll see..) She has vitiligo and freckles, much like the snakey patterns on the rest of her body, and a small section of her head is shaved, above her heavily pierced ear. Although she prefers to stay at people-height, she can comfortably extend to about 12 feet tall, with some tail left for balance. She relies partially on external heat sources for warmth, much like her real cold-blooded counterparts. She loves sunlight, heaters, blankets, lamps, and her favorite: black coffee. She can be reclusive and a loner sometimes, but her group of friends knows how to help her shed her past skin and open up into the better version of herself. She has bright yellow-green eyes with slit pupils as well that often intimidates strangers. Her blood may be cold, but her heart is warm!
Welcome to the world, Cyphus!
