Inara_Serpentine

•Please read this first! Hi everyone and welcome to my page~ This is my first, and current only character, so I hope you take the time to read this. However, I do understand my page is rather long, so I've made sure to highlight the parts I've found to be most important to help you all read only the most important parts as quickly as you'd like. if you see anything misspelled or may be wrong in any way please let me know. I hope we can all be good friends and hang out and play as much as possible. Thanks for taking the time to read this as it really means a lot to me ~ ❤

•I'd like to take this time to talk a little bit about me and list some things I find important or worth noting. I don't plan on sharing anything overly personal or sharing info I decide is too private. Just little things about me such as my quirks and personality to see if you might like me. For starters, I am a shy, timid person who enjoys quietly reading manga, playing video games and relax. I'm often too nervous to make the first move, but I have been trying to be more open and push myself to open up more. I love writing and making some long, story-like posts when I roleplay as well. But please, and I can't stress this enough, no furries. I try to get on as much as I can but I can be very busy. Another thing I enjoy doing is coding and hiding secrets in my code. My page is full of them and I hope you have fun looking at for them and they keep my page interesting. ~ ❤

•Inara is an odd lamia in terms of her anatomy. Standard lamia biology doesn't seem to match her resulting in her being known as a new sub species of lamia known as Laterrian Lamia, named after her homeland of Laterra which is a country far from Nexus across the sea. Her biology of course will be listed below starting with her visable external traits.

•Inara's appearance isn't to dissimilar from her Nexus cousins. They both have the upper half of a humanoid of some kind and the lower half of a snake. However this is where the common traits stop as everything else about Inara is in some way different enough to be worthy of a sub catagory of her more common Nexus counterparts.

•The first major notable difference has to do with her scales. Far more of her body is covered with scales than others. Laterran lamia's scales go passed their waist and hips and move all the way to the top of their lower abdomens just below her large breast. However she does have other scales that continue upward including an odd set of retractable scales that cover her nipples and scales that continue up he back to the back of her head that spead out to the cheeks on her face. It's unclear as to why her kind evolved like this but it's still a difference. The green scales also act as a powerful armor, far stronger than other normal lamia scales to the point where they seem almost immune to physical damage. Though to be fair this hasn't been tested it's likely that her scales are similar to aligator skin in terms of toughness, making it even bullet resistant. However the white underbelly and human half not covered by green scales are shown to be very soft to the touch~

•Her eyes are also a strange oddity for her kind considering that while most lamia seem to have heightened sight for hunting Inara does not. In fact Inara is almost totally blind being only able to see colors and nothing else. Thankfully her long elf like ears are able to give her a sort of second sense as she can use vibrations in the air from sound and other slight noises to make out a 3D image of the world around her. In a way this means she can actually see more of the world around her at any time than creatures with fullying working eyes. This is supported by other facts like the color of her scales and hair being like that of her surroundings like the forest and jungles she prefers to stay in as these colors mixed with her means of sensing the world around her shows she's a predator who more prefers to carefully stalk her prey while staying camouflaged and hidden behind trees and brush, or use that same camouflage to stay hidden when she feels in danger.

Stomach

•Her insides also are not inline with what most would consider normal for a lamia. For starters unlike the Nexus Lamia, Inara only has one stomach. It goes up from where her human stomach would be and continues down to the middle of her long tail. The stomach is filled with thick pulsing tentacles, pulsing flesh, and thick green slime that acts like a glue. These all work together to bind the prey inside her as Inara, like most lamias, swallows her meals whole and alive. The tentacles seem to have two main jobs, the first being binding the prey inside of her so that they can't move as much. This is likely to keep them from harming her from the inside. The other job them have is feeding off the meal. Some tentacles have been reported to latch onto certain parts of a meals anatomy and feed off them. This leads experts to believe Inara not only can feed by digesting people, but by stealing nutrition from them also making her a semi parasitic feeder.

•Inara's also been shown to have two different ways to eat people, both orally and with a secondary predatory mouth located below her waist. She can eat meals with her smaller human mouth but for larger meals she seems to prefer her lower maw as this seems to stretch much larger letting her eat meals far larger than normal. Her secondary mouth is filled with tentacles and help pull in more lively prey as they are swallowed whole. No matter what mouth she uses both will lead to the same long stomach. Once a meal is inside the stomach they are bound and smothered by tentacles and coated in stomach slime. The slime will continue to fill the stomach slowly over the span of 4 days until the meal no longer has any air to breath. From that point the slime will begin a 3 day process where they will become digested and be turned into food for Inara. The slow digestion process is typical of lamia though latteran lamias seem to have it slightly longer than normal.

Abilities

•The laterran lamia is far more than just a long stomach and mouths for swallowing prey. The rare breed of lamia also has several special abilities that are very impressive. Aside from abilities listed earlier in anatomy such as her ability to use echo location to see the world around her. These abilities further distinguish her from her Nexus counterparts. Her ability to hold her breath for over an hour and swim great distances for example, or her ability to slither even within tree branches in total scilence while hunting prey.

•But by far her most impressive ability is regeneration. Inara has the ability to regenerate from injury quicker than most. It isn't a magic or instant skill but it has been shown that in the event Inara loses a small part of her, or as much as a limb, she will grow it back slowly over the span of anywhere from a week to over a month depending on the part lost. This is used mostly as a way to avoid hunters or anyone looking to harm her. It's similar to an octopus who loses a tentacle to flee from a predator, and an arm is far more favorable than her life. This also explains why she tends to avoid groups and hunts only single prey at a time.
