Sexy, snake-haired (and possibly with a serpentine body, too, depending on the version) lady living in the mountain caves or the same dark tunnels the slime boys come from. (Maybe they tell her all about the pretty human they're trying to court and she just HAS to see you for herself.)
She either wears tinted spectacles to keep from turning you to stone, or she can control her petrification powers, but woe be to those that try to either harm you or take you from her (She can't seem to permanently kill Volo with her Stone Glare, because angels are immune ot something, which is annoying.)
You're hers now, too. She talked it out with the slime boys and they're in agreement to share you. What are besties for, after all? She can scout ahead in the tunnels or caves or the darker parts of the forests where hidden things lurk, and turn any potential threats to stone so nothing hurts you as you travel. She'll protect you - you'll just have to keep her from trying to petrify Guzma because he doesn't like her slime friends and therefore she doesn't like him.
(She feeds on mana the same way the others do, and her long, forked tongue can reach soooo many places...)
i'm also going to have to admit that i cannot draw Elesa properly, much to my dismay..
and the way Elesa's hair is styled????? it's perfect. Gorgon neighbor!
I like to think she can control the potency of her petrifying powers. She can literally turn people into stone if she wants to, but it will cost her a good chunk of mana. She can put someone to a stop on their tracks, if she maintains eye-contact. They'll be struck with what they think is 'fear' and they just can't move, but they're still aware of everything and can feel everything. Maybe a few times more sensitive than usual..
And god GOD G O D yes that forked tongue. Elesa is a kissy kind of person, she loves to shower you with them! On your cheeks, on your forehead, on your nose, o-on your neck, on yoUR EARS, and down, down, down..
your lips isn't the only place she's frenched hahA
Oh, but she also gives the best cuddles! Coiling you around with her body? It's so snug and comfy and she cradles your head in the crook of her neck while she rocks you to and fro.
All the while giving the biggest shit-eating grin with the rest of the boys in your party. Heehee! Wait your turn, guys!
