→ The Count & The Serpent ←

    Garbed in but a simple white dress, semi-casual in appearance, Zelia had taken to walking among mankind. It was only her fifth hour, and the glamour which gave her the appearance of an average woman was taxing. She could already feel it gnawing away at her; but it was not time.

   Something curious caught the lamia's attention and she paused just beyond the shop. It took her only a moment's hesitation before she entered, eyes lingering with care on each creature inhabiting its own space. A pet shop?

               ❝Oh...❞ And immediately she made for the snakes -- coiled lazily over one another, basking in captivity. ❝You poor darlingsss.~❞

  As described earlier [ via intro and the actual character page ], Zelia has the upper torso of a human woman. From her waist down however, in the place of legs is a large serpent's body and tail. Primarily, this is how she will appear and more specifically so in her den/nest [ usually located in dense forests or caverns -- kept vague for interaction purposes ]; or otherwise her place of "residence" per se.

Seeing as she does not have a job in the primary setting I have set up for her, a place of residence may be assumed as an abandoned vacation home, cabin, warehouse, or even a home she had infiltrated and eaten the inhabitants of.

  Zelia was not always a lamia however, and therefore is capable of taking a human form. This process takes time [ and is dually painful ] -- usually when her skin is shed and is limited in length. Depending on how well fed she has been prior and leading up to that time will estimate the length at which a mortal form may be taken. It is known and or noted that it cannot be held for longer than a week [ which then becomes painful and depletes her energy ]. The longest Zelia has remained in such a form apart from one attempt which lasted the span of a week, she has only ever taken the body of a human for a maximum of forty-eight hours.

I’m like a snake Caught in a skin that’s Heavily torn And just outworn Trying, Crawling, into the skin of a thief Oh, I am very good at Stealing from myself Leaving my insides a mess Merely because I’m terrified of Happiness It feels like a bloodbath, Fighting with all our wrath And I’m not sure Whether I’m slaughtering my demons Or I’m torturing myself Nor am I sure Which one’s the worst All I know is I must be cursed Because Self destruction seems so much more Alluring, In a way that I adore.

Just realized I never finished the little description page for Zelia.

   Zelia does not show a preference in gender when it comes to devouring children. Nor does she choose specific traits or physical qualities. Her meals are generally random. However, on some occasions, she may be drawn to abducting those with dark hair as they bear that similar resemblance to those of the children she had lost. This is not a regular thing and therefore cannot be regarded as a pattern or preference.

  She does not however, find those past the age of twelve appetizing. * By then their mentality is too mature and they are beyond the age of those which she had birthed.

* Zelia had four children in all; only one of which that lived to the age of eighteen.

  When children are not an option or other means to obtain them are necessary, she does however prefer the company or use of men [anywhere from the age of nineteen onward]. Most of them fall prey to the lamia sooner or later as well -- as they are only kept for as long as they are needed.* Since the loss of her partner [mate], she has not kept another.

* Once a partner is found, the lamia are fiercely loyal and only engage in intimate or sexual acts with their mate. As the species is fairly rare, finding someone capable of surviving a mating with a lamia or otherwise with stamina and mutual loyalty is difficult. This too may play into the reasoning in which Zelia devours the children of others.

Me: Laying in bed, casually watching vines and reading A Song of Ice and Fire

Me: Sees a brief shadow move over me and a reflection in the phone

Suddenly baby powder all over my face and shirt

Me: "What the fuck?!"

Mom: Cackling with the bottle.

Back to lurking for now. I'm sitting on a few headcanons. I was going to write them but I've lost motivation. For now I'll burrow into my blankets and read A Song of Ice and Fire.

I wanted each and every one of them, but choosing one meant losing all the rest.
