Biography
Hola! I'm Heraclio Culebra. I'll tell you my mom's story. She lived with her mom in a country village. One day, a snake came by and she brought him in. She raised him and he  grew bigger and bigger. When he got too big for the house, he left, but promised to leave her a fortune. The king heard of Mom's fortune and wished to marry her. A witch who lived nearby kidnapped her, tore out her eyes, threw her into the sea, and sent her own daughter in place. The king married the witch's daughter. Mom dwelt with the fishermen. One day, her snake friend found her. When she rubbed his eyes, her eyes reappeared. The snake brought her back to her mother. The king found out that Mom was back, and realized he married the wrong girl. He put his wife and mother-in-law in the oven and burned them to death, and took his rightful bride home.

My parents are happy together, and my grandmother also dwells with us. I have an older brother named Domingo. He was chosen for another destiny, so I'm going to be doing the honors of being the next Delgadina. I'm quite proud of it because I get to meet a giant snake! I have lots of little snakes as pets, and I carry them around with me. I especially like wearing them around my neck. I can charm them and communicate with them too.

I'm not a fan of the school that I go to because it's kinda boring and there's lots of annoying people, but it's for a good cause. There aren't any  schools like this one in Chile, so I guess this will have to do. It's hard being around other princes and princesses. Some of them are really spoiled, and even a lot of the nice ones can be hard to relate to. Not to mention some of the students (particularly the talking animals) are bothered by me wearing all this leather. They think it's cruel. My brother's really into animal rights, so I'm kinda used to these people.

I don't look like a typical Royal. If anything, people say that I look like a Rebel. I'm definitely a rebel in the sense that I'm rebellious, but it's because I'm not comfortable with the pampered lifestyle. I want to go out and see the world for myself. I'm kinda glad that they gave me a commoner to be my roommate instead of a snooty, spoiled prince. John's pretty cool, and he also likes snakes.

I spend a lot of my time skateboarding, playing video games, and surfing the Internet. I don't particularly care for parties and all that, and I feel like an idiot when I'm forced to wear fancy clothes. But being rich isn't all bad. Golden coins, especially ones coming out of your tears, seems pretty cool.

Trivia
Heraclio's name means "snake" in Spanish.
