Lynda Belladonna
Most who know her will not disrespect her with nicknames, and are quite thankful she is working for the people, rather than against them. She doesn’t mind the idea, and her big brother actually calls her lil green.
Physical Description
A very obvious presence, this lamia woman has the body of a giant rattlesnake from her hips down. Above that is a very elven looking body. She will tend to hold herself at a similar height to an elf woman, just to deal with people, but doesn’t actually need to. She has a very slender waist and a large chest, which can be very distracting. Her nails are more like talons, long and sharp. She also has a pair of ears that are long and pointed like a high elf. In her mouth she has a set of long fangs and some smaller ones on either side. She actually can inject poison with these, but it is fully under her control, and is just as potent as a regular rattlesnake, but there is much more of it.
Her hair is a medium length bob cut, and with it being quite bright green, she does stand out. That is the natural colour, however, and she is quite proud of it. She does engage in beauty make up, thinking that maybe if she looked a little more approachable, people wouldn’t be so scared of her. Her talons are painted a bright green, as are her lips. She applies a slight blush and just a hint of eye shadow with a little eye liner.
Physical Quirks
As she is part snake, she tends to move like one, even in her upper body. At times she will even sway like a cobra, but mostly she will twitch her tail tip when agitated or scared, which is usually enough to frighten most people. She also hugs people with not just her arms, but her entire body, especially when she’s excited. When she wants to move fast, she actually gets her upper body low to the ground.
Clothing Style
As she cannot have anything on her lower body, she generally only wears shirt or the like. She does like to show off her upper body but realizes it’s not really appropriate most of the time. She also likes to keep warm, so sweaters of some sort are usually her thing, and she’s really fond of what is called the ‘virgin killer’ sweater type, especially one with extra cleavage showing. She doesn’t like jewelry, as she says it feels strange to her. When in the lab, she also tends to put a lab coat on, just for a more professional look, even if it looks odd to others.
Mental Characteristics
Personal History
Being from a rather low density population area, she never really had to worry about bumping into people, even with her large size. And she spent most of her life enjoying a lot of freedom. In school, she was always good at biology, and seemed to have a knack for understanding her chemistry as well. Her natural talent with understanding poisons actually served her well, when the governor of her state, who was visiting her school, was bitten by a spider and she knew exactly how to handle it. The news of this deed got around and she was offered a scholarship at a university in New York to study. She quickly accepted, as her family wasn’t that rich.
When she got out there, the shock of how tightly packed people were actually made her more than a little shy at first, not sure how to react and being very withdrawn. As she got used to it, and the people to her, she opened up more, and made lots of friends. She finished her Masters in Virology and was soon offered a job with the local state government to help them with making vaccines.
Education
Getting a full scholarship at a reputable university was a dream for her, and with her marks, she made it to the Honour Roll with relative ease, being considered to be the most promising student of the year.
Employment
She’s been with the state department now since her graduation, and is their top researcher. She is the head of the department on vaccine research, and is well respected by all those who work for her. She even gets away with breaking dress code constantly because her work is so valuable.
Morality & Philosophy
She is very eager to help, and wants to do whatever she can to make sure people are healthy and happy. She also is known for being very energetic and supportive of those who work for her. She likes to help them and make sure they know that she appreciates all that they do for the world. She feels that even if she can save one life with a vaccine, that’s a good job.
Personality
Motivation
She has an incredible drive to stop the spread of harmful diseases and viruses. She understands that these organisms are natural and help immune systems grow stronger, but she also feels that if they can do something to help stop their spread, it will go a long way to helping people. She also wants to help educate people on the importance of good hygiene and vaccinating, as it helps save lives.
Likes & Dislikes
She is a fan of Native American traditional music, having grown up around a lot of it, as most of her friends in school were from the local tribe. She also loves bacon, and will wander towards it if she can smell it. She loves to play the drums too, and sometimes will use her pens to practise keeping the beat at work. She absolutely loathes people who are anti-vaxx and has been known to scream when she sees their drivel on the internet.
Virtues
She is very compassionate and empathetic, always worried about others, and wanting to make sure they are healthy. She will actively ask about all her co-workers health even if they have a little sniffle, and will bring in chicken soup or oranges for everyone, just to make sure they are all healthy. She is also known for being rather friendly, and loves to hug her friends.
Vices
She is a little lonely, being the only Lamia she knows of in the city. As such, she is a little more sex crazed than she normally would be, and this has led to some interesting encounters. She also has a rather fiery temper, but generally keeps it under control. She can also be a little brazen when she’s talking to people, asking questions which may be a little too personal for most people.
Quirks
She does have a very honest and open nature, as well as being very affectionate. She likes people to know she cares about them, and thinks about them, and will say so as well as show them with friendly displays of affection. She knows not everyone likes her whole body hugs, so has tried to just give upper body hugs, but usually settles with a kiss for those people.
Values
She feels that those who are trying to help others are the ones she likes the most, but also has a thing for strong guys with a lot of endurance. She likes to go out to a gym herself, working on her upper body strength, and will check out the guys there all the time.
Sexual Style
As her physiology is a lot different from most races, she end up getting a little more freaky than most. While she does have a cloaca like snakes do, it actually is laid out more like a human vagina. Male lamia also have one, but they have an almost humanoid penis shaped hemipenes, but is more barbed and thicker. So for her, a humanoid penis is small and smoother. She doesn’t mind at all, as that’s all she’s ever had, and she enjoys it, but finding men who are willing to is not that easy. To help, she has her own fake lamia dildo she will use on herself, or have any partner willing to use. Since she doesn’t get men in her often, she is an expert at giving blow jobs and hand jobs, and loves when they suck on her breasts. For those men freaky enough to actually penetrate her, she is quite a screamer and will likely wrap herself around you to keep you inside till you fill her, covering you with passionate kisses the whole time. She is a lot more brazen than most people, and almost can be considered crude flirtations. She doesn’t feel any particular reason to settle down with any one guy, as she hasn’t found any who are game for everything with her, so she just takes what she can get from whomever will give it.
Social
Contacts & Relations
She still calls her folks and big brother every week, enjoying hearing about home and what they are doing. She tries to make it back at least once a year to visit with them on the holidays. She has several friends from university that she still keeps in contact with and is good friends with the representative of the microscope company, [Sabina]. She also is becoming more friendly with a PhD candidate at one of the local schools who is coming to her for help with her Biochem thesis. Her and [Ginger] have been hitting it off and she wants to make sure the young lady does well on her thesis. Her employees are all very friendly with her, and she treats them like extended family, in an almost motherly way. They all think she’s very sweet and kind, but sometimes a little overbearing. They don’t mind, however, as she’s a great boss.
Social Aptitude
A very open and friendly woman, she’s always willing to talk to and meet new people. She likes to meet everyone and is very eager to learn about everyone, and share anything they want to know about her. She does tend to try and use her tail to keep people she’s talking to close to her, almost corralling them to her. She is very confident in her abilities and at times it can come off as a bit arrogant, but she’s usually right.
Religious Views
She is more spiritual than she is religious, having grown up around members of Native American tribes more than other religions. As such, she is more likely to use their mythology and terms than any other for describing religious aspects.
Mannerisms
Generally an even tempered woman, she is usually quite energetic and friendly, always willing to shake someone’s hand or just give them a hug to welcome them. She is very trusting of most people and has an almost idealistic outlook of the future. This all changes if she hears people spouting anti-vaccine lies, and then she gets truly frightening in her anger. She’s not violent, but you can hear the venom in her voice, pun not intended. Her jokes tend towards the scientific, and she likes making science puns when she can.
Hobbies & Pets
She enjoys working out, especially her upper body, which she also uses as a time to scope out guys. She loves to knit, and actually tries to make all of her own sweaters, as it isn’t easy to buy ones in her dimensions. She also likes to play the drums, and has a set with a special kick pedal for her. She doesn’t have any pets, as she knows most of them would be terrified of her, and she feels having a snake would be silly.
Speech Style
When she was younger, she had a slight lisp, a common trait for lamia children, but she worked hard and was able to get rid of it. When she’s angry though, it tends to creep back into her speech, and the extra snake like sounds tends to scare off those she’s angry with. Her voice is a like Zoot from the Castle Anthrax scene in Monty Python’s Holy Grail.
Political Affiliation & Activism
She doesn’t really talk much about politics, but she does still feel that it is important to be involved in the process. She doesn’t want to influence anyone else’s opinion, but she is more conservative in her leanings, as she focuses on making sure the economy is still good. She doesn’t really get involved in any activism as she is a government employee, and that would be improper.
