Céline

Click-click. Céline is an ancient arthropod witch living deep in the enchanted forest. As an arthropod, she has an insectoid exoskeleton and multiple limbs. She's deft, intelligent and knowledgeable in witchcraft, alchemy, and the natural world.

Céline has a nosy, academic mindset, however with the passage time she's gone just a bit crazy... She meticulously studies and documents the world around her. While kind and nurturing towards her apprentice(?), she can be very misleading, coy and sly toward others. Safety is out the window when it comes to her potions and spells. She's quite passionate about her 'craft', as any specialist should! One could say her mind is fragmented into insect and witch, her extra, lower hands are more primal and insect-like, always touching and feeling to probe.

• Often mutters incantations and ingredients to herself while working, sometimes backfiring.
• Chirps quietly, an insectoid habit
• Flicks her long, forked tongue out to taste random objects, things... humans.
• Uses her many extra hands and arms for multitasking
• Tends to repeat key words or phrases for emphasis
• Rubs her hands together like a fly when 'scheming'
• Can communicate with insects and small animals (bats, snakes, etc.)

A predator! Has an affinity for the dark, and is most active at night... Okay, she might be a little crazy- her mind is fragmented between insect and human. Can you really blame her, it could make anyone go crazy, hearing all those voices. Chirp chirp(I will bite you!) She likes to mimic the posture and gestures of humans, but comes out as awkward, or even unsettling, uncanny valley.

Céline has the body of a large, bipedal arthropod, with a segmented thorax and abdomen. Her skin has a dark, shiny, chitin-like appearance. She has four slender arms and digitigrade legs with clawed feet. Her face is smooth, head covered by claw-like appendages that mimic hair, with sharp fangs and teeth, multiple compound eyes in hues of red. Dragonfly style wings sprout from her back. She has a completely flat chest (insects don't need breasts!) and a voluptuous, exoskeleton-clad butt and hips (It's for... balancing her weight, yes yes!). Céline wears a long, black cloak with a mantis brooch embroided onto it. And her favorite, a comically large, pointed witch's hat sits atop her head.
