Name: Natalie Vibora
Age: 27
Gender: Female
Race: Black Mamba Changeling
Height: 5'7
Eye Color: Green, Yellow, Green.
Hair Color: Dirty blonde
Hair Style: A bob, so long fringe both side of face and shorter in the back. Cut reasonably roughly.
Clothing: Depends on her mood. Usually a simple skirt or trousers with some kind of t-shirt jacket combo. Does have smarter clothes, dresses, suits and so on. But she mostly chooses comfort over fashion. Footwear wise whatever goes with the clothes, but generally lighter things, nothing heavy like boots.
Build:
Rake (have you ever seen a fat snake?). Not quite to the terrifyingly skinny size zero degree, but there ain’t a lot there. She has quite an angular Slavic looking face, all hard lines and sharp cheekbones, which some people find attractive, some find a little off putting. Like many snakes Natalie eats rarely, but generally quite a bit at a time. When in human form a meal every day or two will keep her going just fine as long as there is enough protein in there.
Personality:
Friendly, but always holds back a little. She has a natural scepticism and slightly negative view of the world that means she doesn’t like it getting up too close and personal. I guess that could change though, people can always change.
History:
Parents are of African descent (Namibia), second generation American, which makes her third. Natalie had a pretty normal upbringing for a changeling, half the time animal, half the time human. She moved around the country quite a bit as part of a large group of reptilian changelings that her family had joined when they first entered the country. At the age of 21 she decided she’d move out as it were and continued to travel around on her own for a while. She eventually settled in Cheshire and has been living there quietly ever since.
Notes:
In any form Natalie’s mouth, tongue and lips are pitch black clearly showing what kind of snake she is. (Black mambas aren’t actually black, just the inside of their mouths are). Her teeth are still white and seem even whiter due to the dark gums, they are also slightly more pointed than the human norm but this is only really visible when she smiles. She does not have obvious fangs in her human form, they are hidden behind her canines and extend when she is stressed or angry.
Natalie has three main forms.
First is her natural form of an extremely large version of a black mamba, some 30 feet in length and much thicker than her natural counterparts. In this form she is a light brown colour all over, slightly lighter on her underside. Natalie is as fast as if not faster than an average mamba, easily capable of catching an Olympic sprinter if she wanted.
Second is a hybrid form, similar in many ways to a yuan-ti abomination (Curt’ll know what that is.) Her upper body is similar to her human form, just scaled up slightly and the skin replaced with the scales that cover her in her natural form. Her face is slightly flattened, he nose being less prominent and her mouth being wider with no lips. Her tongue is also the forked tongue of a snake in this form.
Finally there is her human form. Apart from her eyes and mouth the only clue to her true nature is a patch of scales which runs down her spine from just below the base of her neck.
Magic/Venom
Natalie’s venom is much the same as black mamba venom, a muscle and nerve damaging toxin causing a whole maelstrom of problems, the least of which being excruciating pain and the worst being agonising death. The main difference with the venom of a black mamba and Natalie’s is that while the snakes is fatal in 15 minutes – 2 hours, hers is fatal in 15 seconds – 2 minutes depending on the bite location and venom injected. For this reason Natalie always has a few vials of antivenin about her person.
Natalie is not very magically adept. She can perform simple spells like an effect to keep her hidden in her snake form and a flight spell allowing her to travel through the sky like a gigantic sea snake through the ocean.
