Appearance:

Serpentina is a teenage Border Collie dog and albino red-tailed boa hybrid with a standard body type. She is an anthropomorphic creatures and walks on two legs and has two arms. What is particularly striking about her is her long snake-like tail and her flexible hood, which is part of her body and which can be pulled over her head or taken off, depending on her wish. It cannot be removed though. Most of her body is covered in short, fluffy fur, except for her belly, chest, the underside of her tail, and the inside of her hood, which feature smooth, cream-coloured scales with thin yellow stripes. Her main fur colour is a light yellow, and her entire body, including the outside of her hood, is adorned with the typical pattern of spots found in her snake species, ranging in shades of yellow and orange from a very light yellow to a darker orange. The same colours can be found on her hand and feet paws. On the outer back of her hood there is a medium-sized pattern that looks like a white skull. As it turns out, this is a type of tattoo and not a natural pattern. Serpentina's left ear hangs down, while her right ear stands upright as normal. The inside of her ears, as well as the paw pads (beans) on her left hand and right foot, are pink. The paw pads on her right hand and left foot are turquoise. She has turquoise claws, except for one claw on each hand, which are both pink. She has heterochromia, meaning she has two different eye colours: her left eye is turquoise, and her right eye is pink, although in darker shades than her paw pads or claws. Her dog-like tongue is also turquoise, and her nose is pink. She has short light yellow hair on her head with orange tips. A large part of her right eye is covered by it. Serpentina has long white fangs and light yellow eyebrows

 

Character Traits:

  • Well-intentioned

  • Very smug

  • Very tough

  • Tomboyish

  • Rebellious

  • Quite wily

  • Strong-willed

  • Reckless

  • Defiant

  • Hidden sensitive side

 

Abilities:

  • As previously mentioned, Serpentina has a hood that is part of her body, which can be pulled over her entire head at any time

  • Due to her being a demon-like creature, she is resistant to almost every kind of fire

  • Serpentina has the ability of infrared sensing. This means that she can kind of "see" or either sense the emitted warmth of other creatures and that from far away. This allows her to see creatures or other warm objects in complete darkness, even in the Land of Eternal Darkness. Additionally, this enables her to accurately determine the temperature of the creature or object in front of her

  • Since she is half snake, she possesses incredible reflexes and reflex speed. She is one of the fastest-reacting beings in the land

  • She is considered especially swag and tough by the other teenagers. No matter what happens, she always stays cool. Additionally, she is extremely resilient and hardly lets anything get her down. Many other teenagers respect and admire her for this

  • She is not only tough but also physically quite strong. She is capable of lifting and carrying quite heavy objects

  • She has an amazing scenting ability. She can track the location of almost every other creature, as long as she knows the scent of said being

  • She has the ability of speech and she speaks and understands many different human languages of our world. Of course she is able to interact with her fellow species and other animals and creatures. She can even translate to a certain extent

  • Since she comes from a land, which is in a state of eternal darkness, except the fiery underground, she is able to see in the dark and, unlike other dogs and snakes, she can see almost all existing colours

 

Weaknesses:

  • Her remarkable scenting ability does not always have a positive effect, bad odours can become an annoying problem

  • Serpentina is quite tough and sometimes acts tomboyish. She hates it when others describe her as too masculine or rough, or even try to dictate that she should be more feminine

  • Her reckless and rebellious nature often gets her in trouble and sometimes even in danger. Others, especially her friends, have to stop her from such behaviour all too frequent

  • Beneath the cool and tough exterior lies a rather sensitive being who, like others, can be hurt. However, she never wants to reveal this side of herself and tries to suppress any sad, fearful, insecure, or similar feelings as much as possible, keeping them hidden. Sometimes, though, she is not successful and then her hood proves to be especially helpful, as she pulls it over her head or even her face to hide any in her opinion "bad" emotions from others

 

Likes:

  • Being perceived as swag

  • Being tomboyish, tough and, if needed, giving others a piece of their mind

  • Not having to show certain emotions

  • Hiding under her hood at the first signs of certain weaknesses, for example strong negative emotions

  • Reckless and bold activities

  • Harmless shenanigans (as long as they are not too childish)

  • Getting her way

  • Her family and friends, especially her gang and best friend Opalia

  • Independence and freedom

  • Being strong and muscle training

 

Dislikes:

  • Others being disrespectful towards her and her friends

  • Any damage to her tough and swag reputation

  • Being perceived as "weak"

  • The showing of certain emotions, especially sadness

  • Stubborn and/or boring creatures

  • Rules she considers unnecessary and stupid

  • Restrictions of any kind

  • Boredom and activities with no thrill

  • Arrogance

  • Too serious violence

 

Further Information:

  • Serpentina was born in the Land of the Eternal Darkness, a very dark place that has no light source whatsoever. But it has a huge fiery and very hot underground where the most creatures live. It is full of strong demon-like creatures, which are unfortunately, often mistaken as evil beings, though the majority of them is friendly and peaceful, just like her. When she was little, her family moved to the Land of Eternal Dusk. Her parents were looking for a change of scenery and thought this colourful and bright land would be the perfect new home. At first, Serpentina wasn’t happy about the move and felt very homesick. But then she met her best friend Opalia and later the rest of her cool gang and since then, she has felt completely at home in this land

  • In every land you can find the following rule: Every strongly marked anthropomorphic creature is actually a human being from either a different dimension and/or time, that's why these creatures are more human-like than other beings

  • She is anthropomorphic and thus very human-like, but can still do typical “dog- and snake-like” things like barking, digging, hissing and much more

  • She and every here presented Land of Eternal Dusk resident are good friends. But she gets along best with her gang, which consists of her best friend Opalia, Klex, Stinger, and herself. They are known as the rebels and the more wild teenagers

  • She is a cis-female and heterosexual

  • She has a vegetarian diet, even though she is a dog and snake hybrid. She eats vegetables, fruits, nuts and much more
