'Of course I'm going to swallow you up. But look on the bright side! It's going to feel sooooo good~!'
The terror of folks who frequent isolated beaches or one-man boat voyages looking to 'be alone', the frequency at which Edie feeds makes it seem like the octogirl has some sort of loneliness radar, allowing her to gravitate instinctively towards these poor souls and teach them why it's preferrable to use the buddy system at all times!
Not that two, or three, or four, or even eight folks would be able to stop this massive octogirl from feeding. Hefty, weighty and proportioned a bit larger than a human would be, Edie is quite capable of clearing the deck of a small ship or emptying a private beach into her massive gut in just a few moments.
Unfortunately for her prey, emptying things into her massive gut is her primary pastime. She's a sweetheart, and she really does like humanity as a whole. They fascinate her, and she particularly likes watching their habits and behaviors. She doesn't seem to have issues keeping her prey in her clutches, or cornered, and letting them chat it up for a while... especially if they're cute. But, all roads lead between her writhing tentacles, and few people who bump into her get to tell folks about the cute octogirl.
She appreciates resistance to a point... she loves folks that wriggle and struggle, both in her arms and in her body. However, folks that try to flee after she considers herself to have won make her grumpy, and those are the ones that get caught and squeezed, or smothered. But she figures it's the job of small cute humanoids to feed her, and she doesn't much like people slacking on the job!
Obviously, her primary feeding method is stuffing things into the mouth between her eight tentacles/arms. The stomach there is quite efficient, and unless she is deliberately stopping herself, prey rarely lasts long in her crushing depths. Her other stomach (the one in her human body) can contain one victim at a time, and it's quite a bit weaker, so anyone put in there will usually be trapped for a while. She has extra 'arms' in the form of her hair, which she uses like a sea of sargasso to engulf swimmers and slow ships discreetly, though it's also able to devour victims if necessary. The suckers themselves can swell up and eventually devour a victim, though this is a very slow and teasing process and is generally reserved for prey she's alone with.
She's quite obviously tailored for watery environs, but that doesn't stop her from rushing onto land to snare prey, or climbing onto a boat. She's not all that fast on land, but she can get by, and due to her octo-build she can squeeze into small spaces. She can also camouflage herself with her surroundings, as one might expect.
She prefers humans almost exclusively, or anything similar enough to them. Elves and catfolk are high on her devour priority list too. If it's got more fur than flesh, she will actively avoid eating it... wet fur smells and doesn't taste good.
