Crisis can be considered the main character of the Felaryan universe. The mouth of the logo belongs to her ^_^
She is a young, cute and carefree giant naga who enjoys life greatly and seems to always be in a cheerful mood. She lives near a giant tree with her companion Anna, in a zone between the Jungle of perils and the river north of Negav city. Despite her appearance, she is a voracious, cunning predator and a very good hunter, 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, except for all other nagas and fairies, no matter their size. This includes humans who are an important part of her diet. She always swallows them whole and alive because there is nothing she enjoy more than feeling preys squirming in her belly during digestion.
Despite that Crisis has a sweet and gentle nature and is known for her kindness among other nagas.
Crisis is gonna eat you !
Her past
Crisis's physical abilities are impressive and a lot higher than the average naga: She is fast, agile and very skilled in stealth. This come from the first part of her life where she learned to survive on her own. She has never known her real parents and raised herself, alone at first, but eventually moving in with a pack of fairies who rescued her when she was almost fatally wounded by a tonorion. Without them, if Crisis had even survived, she would probably have a totally different personality than what she has now: darker, wilder, distrustful and primitive.
Her ever cheerful and playful mood comes directly from these same fairies, as well as the innocent and naive look she has. That's partly because Felaryan fairies love to trick adventurers this way: appearing as tiny, weak, and fragile creatures, but becoming giants in the blink of an eye with their size-shifting powers. When you know Crisis well you realize that she is a LOT less naive than she appears and that she enjoys tricking the world with it. Because of the way she was raised, Crisis possess a lot of fairy logic in her, more than naga of human logic actually. In a sense, most of other nagas, like Vivian, are more "human" than her.
Crisis really attached herself to Anna who she considers as a sister, and is fascinated by her partly because Anna provides her a more human and down-to-earth practical aspect that Crisis probably missed in her childhood.
How to not be eaten
If you are human-sized, that's very hard... Crisis is very voracious, and as long as a human doesn't distinguish himself from the countless others she ate, she will just think of him as another cute, tasty and wriggly thing that belongs in her belly, just too small to be considered a person. Plus Crisis is used to this diet since a young kid, being fed shrunken humans by fairies back then.
First, she must not be too hungry or your case is almost lost by advance ( Hearing her stomach growl is a sign of impending doom ! ) The key point is to get out of the "food category", where humans and other little races belongs by default, between the moment when you are caught and the moment where you will be swallowed... in short : being very convincing very fast or catching her interest in some way. That's technically not impossible but few remain cool-headed enough when confronted by her. Crisis has quite a reputation in Felarya... Obviously things like: fighting, threatening, flattering, begging, and trying to reason with her won't work because she has seen it countless times.
To make matters worse, Crisis is very playful and will not hesitate to play dumb and make her prey believe that there is a glimpse of hope and that they have managed to convince her, right before gobbling them up ! Her favorite prey are cat people ( especially girls ). They are even tastier than humans to her, and they are smart and agile, making chasing them interesting and fun. It's worth noting that Crisis possess an extremely strong and resistant stomach, even for a naga. It can easily withstand the explosion of a grenade and will digest just everything that finds its way there. Even a marine in a armored titanium exo-skeleton would have no chance of survival...
If you ever manage to get out of the "food category" however, you would have almost nothing to fear from Crisis anymore.
Like and dislike
-Crisis respects good hunters of her size and is always eager to share tricks and hunt-stories with them.
-She has a weak spot for music and beautiful voices.
-She likes courage. For example several times she has spared courageous humans who fought her and were going to sacrifice themselves to buy time for others. This still happens rarely though.
-She has a curious nature and absolutely adores stories, especially if it comes from a different world. Several humans saved themselves by being a good storyteller and speaking about their world of origin. That was the case of Léa, Crisis' best friend.
It's very difficult to make Crisis really angry: she is not antagonist, isn't-strong-spirited and is generally afraid of confrontations. Still, one of the surest ways to do it is to harm one of her friends or something dear to her ( Crisis is very loyal to anybody she considers a friend ). Crisis would then "switch" into serious mode, becoming very focused on doing what needs to be done, be it a rescue or a swift kill. Ironically if you manage to really anger her, she wouldn't think about eating you anymore, rather to punish you, which is not necessarily better.
Crisis looking all cute and innocent...
