Orochi

"Must you interrupt me while I'm reading?"

Orochi is the result of the union of a female lamia mage and a male sea dragon, both of whom had shapeshifted into humanoid form for their union. Raised by her mother after her father's death, she was eventually orphaned when adventurers raided her mother's home, taking her away her and badly damaging her home. Left alone in the ruins of her home, Orochi wandered through the now empty room, with little more than her mother's vast collection of books. Aside from the spellbooks--of which, there were many--Orochi would also come across various other times, historical, fictional, alchemical...more than she could possibly count. But, she would definitely try. Unwilling to trust others, she'd spend the bulk of her youth within her home, indulging in books, only venturing from her cave once she had begun practicing with shapeshifting. While lamiae garner distrust from most, and dragons tend to be feared or hunted for their vast hoards, a dragonkin anthro was able to begrudgingly interact with the various humanoid and demi-human races of the world. As she got older, through notes and a crude map her mother had drawn long ago, she eventually found her father's undersea lair--inaccessible without at least being part sea dragon--and would confirm the loss of her father, as well as the fact that his killers were unable to make off with more than a small faction of his hoard. Feeling that she was truly alone, she would claim her father's home and treasure, using it to purchase supplies when she needed, and more tomes as she desired, feeling that she could always depend on the latter. It didn't help matters when a small group of thieves calling themselves "adventurers" tailed her to her lair, with the intent on relieving her of her treasures. Said adventurers were never heard from again...

RAW DATA:

Orochi is 95/5 Predator, Smarts-type. In her default, lamia form, she has a standing height around 7', and a total length, while lying flat, of about 25', and weighs about 1400lbs. In her humanoid form, she's still 7', about 400lbs due to build and dragon genetics. In her feral, sea dragoness form, she is about 6' at the shoulder, with her neck and head being another 6' in length, has a 14' long body, and weighs around 6 tons; fairly light and small for an adult dragon.

AS PRED:

Despite her apparent small size, Orochi possesses strong magic, and in any of her forms, still possesses her half-lamia heritage. She is capable of unhinging her jaws and swallowing a single prey up to twice her size, with her stomach being elastic and strong enough to store two preys that size. She tends not to indulge in titanic meals that often, unless she is defending herself from a dangerous enemy, or was able to bring said meal to her lair first. Digesting a meal that large takes months, and she'll need something to occupy her during that time...
