Crisis is one of the main character of the Felaryan universe ( the mouth of the logo belongs to her! )
She's a young and carefree giant naga who enjoys life greatly and seems to always be in a cheerful mood. She possesses a lovely, pretty figure, and sweet, delicate facial features, with big blueish-teal eyes, and long silky blond hair. She lives near the giant tree with her companion Anna, in a zone between the Bulvon wood and the Shard river, north of Negav city. 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.
Backstory
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.
Character
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.

Crisis is an arboreal naga and thus feels better in her element, and gets along very well with dryads. She hasn't developed any sort of magic yet, though.
