Lady Nora

Lady Nora is a dragon, and she is more than two thousand years old, making her perhaps the oldest and most powerful dragon in the world. Many other dragons trace their ancestry back to her. Nora is large but slender, and her entire body is silvery-white in colour, with a purer white on her underbelly. Her eyes are gold and piercing. Nora has smooth, slightly curved horns, and tufted white hair sprouts down the middle of her neck like a horse's mane. Her wing membranes look translucent and delicate, but they are as tough as her scales and do not rip. Nora can change her size at will, and has no known maximum size. Nora cannot speak aloud in her dragon form, so she communicates telepathically instead. She can also read people's minds and memories, and she does so freely to learn about their history and intentions when she is curious about them. Nora can change shape at will, and often does so to conceal herself and get closer to mortals. She has difficulty standing and walking on two legs, so she usually stays in quadrupedal forms. Her favourite form to take, other than her natural dragon shape, is the form of a small, white cat with tiny horns protruding between her ears. Nora can take human, keidran, or basitin form, usually so that she can tease and seduce a mortal she has taken an interest in. All of Nora's humanoid forms are curvy, well-endowed women, with silver or white hair and fur, and some of her draconic features preserved. Nora's human form is especially majestic, with scaled forearms and legs, keeping her horns, wings, and long, thick tail. She has also taken the form of a cat keidran with white fur and subtle horns from time to time. Sometimes she will clothe her human form in elegant silks, but she has no sense of modesty, and will most often choose to remain nude. Nora likes to toy with mortals to entertain herself, and she is very teasing and seductive when she does so. She is dominant and somewhat egotistical, but gentle and kind to her favoured mortals. She uses magic freely to play with mortals, her favourite trick being to transform them in enjoyable or embarrassing ways. She can change a person's sex or species, swap two people's bodies, transform people into ordinary-looking animals, and even fuse two people - sometimes including herself - into a single, shared body. When Nora toys with people, she is careful not to cause them any lasting harm, but she is not above cursing someone with a permanent transformation, usually as a punishment for some slight or transgression. Nora likes to humble prideful people with embarrassing curses, and punish intruders with transformations, but she also likes rewarding cunning and audacity. Nora sometimes forms romantic attachments to specific mortals, such as the Grand Templar Trace Legacy, and attempts to seduce them with her humanoid forms. She is extremely kinky, setting up various perverse situations with her loved one. However, she has no feelings of jealousy, openly accepting other relationships between her loved ones and other mortals. Nora is carnivorous, and speaks openly about her ability to eat people when she is hungry, but she seldom actually does so, and is capable of using magic to preserve the life and consciousness of her prey in various ways.

Nora lives in a magical world inhabited by four major species of people. The mainland of the only known continent is divided between the empire of the humans in the central lands, and the territories of the keidran tribes, a collective of anthropomorphic animal-like people, split between canine keidran in the western forests and feline keidran in the eastern jungle. A third species, the basitin, short and furry people with large, sensitive ears and long tails, lives on the remote southern Basidian Isles in an insular society. Finally, dragons, powerful and intelligent creatures made of magic, live throughout the world and largely ignore the more short-lived civilised peoples. Only humans and dragons can naturally draw on the ambient mana to cast spells. Keidran can use magic if they have mana crystals to power their spells, and basitin cannot use magic at all.
