Name: Cerastes Mitera

Age: Basically 16

Gender: Demigirl

Animal: Snake, specifically Horned viper (Cerastes Cerastes)

Myth: Echidna, 'mother of all monsters'

Alignment: Rebel. She's already had a few children in her previous iteration and has no intention of doing so again if there's an option to rebel.

Niche: Ambush. She sets traps and does stakeouts.

Personality: Cerastes being immortal has meant she has no fear of time. Therefore she has the patience of several minor saints. She can wait motionless for much longer than any other hunter and her tactics have led people to consider her lazy or ineffective due to lack of action. However she'll always know the perfect moment to strike. She's not very good at retaining human form so hates combat or situations that require dexterity and speed. If she must, she'd rather do long range or pursuit. She's very self assured due to her long lifespan and doesn't get riled up or angry despite others best efforts. However she's slightly self important, thinking herself to be the smartest and most experienced, challenging decisions that she doesn't completely agree with. She won't get wound up when trying to change people's minds,even if they get angry, she just kind of sees them as... pathetic whining children? Remember that she's the master of the waiting game, and when it comes to peer interactions she's master of pressure techniques too. She's mature, calm, prefers not to take part in conversations until there's some blatantly wrong decision being reached.

When it comes to her immortal peers, she expects them to be mature and possessing the skills of many millenia of experience, she views humans as... background noise. When it comes to animal shapeshifters or monsters, however, she's hyper maternal. She takes them under her metaphorical wing, looking out for them and advising and helping them through problems.

Appearance: She's never felt the need to take on human form, so isn't really good at retaining it. She looks like a large horned viper, but the closest to human form she has is a snake lower body. She has dark hair in a messy bun, a placid expression, and freckles everywhere. She has horns. She wears relatively plain clothing because she doesn't care much.

Other: Her immortality isn't agelessness, but more like ageing then shedding her skin and beginning again.

She has two kids, who are actually probably older than her atm, seeing as she started a new cycle. She's slightly embarassed to talk about them because of the implication of her being in a relationship at some point. She did not enjoy that relationship.

She's a pure carnivore, eats things whole, but only eats once a week.

She's skilled at setting traps, probably the only thing she can physically do with any precision. Being a snake, she relies on others to do a lot of things you need hands for. If she transforms to human form and crafts with her hands, the result would be 'rough but functional'. Very basic, not too impressive.

She uses her tail and mouth/teeth to do stuff you'd need hands for. Her weapon would be bolas, a ranged weapon that could be thrown with a tail.
