Crisis

Despite her appearance though, Crisis is a voracious and very dangerous predator. She's cunning huntress, fast and amazingly silent. She greatly enjoys the thrill of a good hunt and loves to play with her prey like a cat with a mouse. She hunts and eats any living being small enough for her to swallow, at the exception of small nagas and fairies. This includes humans, who are an important part of her diet. Crisis hatched from a lone egg in a small cave, east of the fairy pond and north of the grove of carnivorous plants. She never knew her parents and grew up alone, in a very dangerous environment full of predators and natural traps. She was a wild and distrustful little thing at this time, constantly on the lookout and ready to jump and hide at the first hint of danger, doing a fairly good job of surviving. She quickly became very skilled at being stealthy and developed amazing reflexes. With a lot of luck, and the help of the Felaryan soil, she managed to cheat death daily for a few years. This came to an end however, when she was a heartbeat too late and was impaled by a tonorion. She was mortally wounded but managed to flee out of reach of the beast. She was quickly dying though, and was only saved thanks to the fairy Temi, who was flying around. Luckily, the fairy happened to be one of the best healers in the region and she took good care of the small naga. Crisis was deeply scarred mentally by this event, and is still very afraid of tonorions today. Encountering one can throw her into a state of panic. Temi grew attached to the little naga and took her in to her pack. Crisis received lots of care and affection there, and made many life-long friends among fairies and dryads. Since then, she considers fairies as her second kin and pays them a lot of respect. She would never harm one under any circumstance. More than once, she has wished that she had wings so that she could fly like her friends. Because of the way she was raised, Crisis makes a rather odd naga. She thinks a lot in "fairy logic", tending to address things the way a fairy would. Her friend Vivian finds it cute, while Anna finds it annoying. It could be one of the reason why Crisis really attached herself to Anna and now considers her as a sister. She is literally fascinated by the grumpy naga, who shows her a more down-to-earth approach to life, an aspect that Crisis missed in her childhood. Crisis loves to have fun and to have a good time above anything else. Mixed with her cheerful nature, sheer optimism, and childish playfulness, this may lead some into believing that she is naive and air-headed. When you know Crisis well however, you realize that this is not entirely true, and that she is less naive than she appears, sometimes using that perceived naiveness to trick and surprise others. Her mind can be very sharp on some points, and very dull on others. For example, she is known for having a hard time with anything related to technology. This is like another world to her, fascinating and neat but utterly incomprehensible. Despite Anna's numerous attempts at explaining it, she just doesn't get it, not even the basics. Her kindness is very authentic though, and she will always help a friend in need, sometimes discreetly, not resting until she succeeds. She can be surprisingly tactful when it's important to be so. Crisis is afraid of tonorions, due to her brush with death caused by one, and feels rather uneasy toward insectoids in general. She was raised by fairies who regard them as dangerous and told her frightening stories about them. On the other hand, Crisis is cautious around dridders but bear no ill will toward them, again, similar to how fairies treat dridders.

Crisis has a weak spot for music and beautiful voices. She also has a curious nature and absolutely adores stories, especially if they come from a different world, which makes her all dreamy. Humans have saved themselves by being captivating storytellers and speaking about their home-world.
