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 possess a lovely, pretty figure and sweet, delicate facial features, with big blue tealish eyes, and long silky blond hair. She lives near a giant tree with her companion Anna, in a zone between the Chordoni waterfalls and the river north of Negav city. Despite her appearance, she is a voracious, cunning predator and a very good 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, except for all other nagas and fairies, no matter their size. Her prey includes humans who are an important part of her diet.
Crisis is gonna eat you!
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 stealth 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 an heart beat 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, she happened to be one of the best healer 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. Encountering a large enough specimen can throw her into a state of panic.
Temi grew attached to the little naga and took her in to her pack. Crisis received lot of care and affection here, and made many life-time 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 and could fly like her friends.
Character
Crisis' cheerful and playful mood comes directly from these 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. Because of the way she was raised, Crisis thinks a lot in "fairy logic", and tend to address things the way a fairy would. Her friend Vivian finds that very cute, while Anna finds it annoying.
In a sense, most of other nagas are more "human" than Crisis if you could say that. This is probably why she really attached herself to Anna and now considers her as a sister. She is literally fascinated by her partly because Anna shows her a more down-to-earth, practical aspect that Crisis probably missed in her childhood.
Crisis loves to have fun and to have a good time above all. Mixed with her cheerful nature, sheer optimism, and childish playfulness, this may leads some into believing she is naive and a little air headed. When you know Crisis well, you realize that this is not true, and that she is a LOT less naive than she appears. She is well aware of that, and enjoys tricking the world with it. It became a sort of game actually... a lot of things are a game to Crisis.
Her mind can be very sharp on some point, and very clumsy on others. For example, she is famous for having a hard time with anything related to technology. This is like another world to her, fascinating, neat and all, but utterly incomprehensible. Despite Anna's numerous attempts at explaining it, she just don'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.
Hunting habits
Criss is extremely voracious and has quite a reputation on Felarya. Countless humans and nekos have ended up in her digestive track, and the Delurans uses her name as a bogeyman. She's been eating humans and nekos since she was a young kid, the fairies feeding her shrunken humans they had caught, and she gulped them down happily. Crisis sees humans as little, cute, tasty, and wriggly things that belong in her belly, just too small to be considered a person. She always swallows them whole and alive because there is nothing she enjoys more than feeling prey squirming in her belly as she digests.
If you encounter her, you are in very, very deep trouble, and the probability that you will not end up as a snack is very small. First, she must not be too hungry or your case is almost lost before you even utter it (hearing her stomach growl is a sign of impending doom!). When hungry, Crisis tends to think with her stomach and few things matter more than filling it.
The key point is to get out of the "food category", where every human and other little creature 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, making her forget she wants to eat you somehow. That's technically not impossible, but few remain cool-headed enough when confronted by her to even speak coherently. Obviously things like: fighting, threatening, flattering, begging, and trying to reason with her won't work because she has seen it countless times.
Wriggling a lot before her eyes is to be avoided as well as, it can trigger an irresistible urge for her to put you in her mouth right away! 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! She will never tease for very long though, as the saliva building up in her mouth, making her unable to talk back without giving it away at a point..
Her favorite prey are nekos, especially girls. Crisis find them even tastier than humans, 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 about everything that finds its way there. Even a marine in a armored titanium exo-skeleton would have no chance of survival.
The very rare humans that manage to get out of this "food category" however, have almost nothing to fear from Crisis anymore. Exactly how her mind works is unknown but once she regards a human as a person, she will never again consider them food. Moreover if this human designates another as a friend, Crisis will abide by that definition and not eat them. In this case, the person is not totally out of the food category though, and Crisis will often involuntarily lick her lips or eye them hungrily! They are mostly safe though. Crisis has several human friends and her best friend, Léa, is human.
Contrary to some other nagas, Crisis never unhinges her jaw to swallow large preys. She is not used to it and finds it painful.
Like and dislike
Crisis is afraid of tonorions, due to her brush with death caused by one, and feels rather uneasy toward insectoids in general. That's probably because 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 has no hate toward them, just like fairies do.
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. Several humans have saved themselves by being captivating storytellers 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, sometimes delaying one, even when she knows it's unavoidable. 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 won't think about eating you anymore, rather she will be thinking how to punish you, which is not necessarily better.
Crisis is a nature naga and thus feel better in her element, and gets along very well with Dryads. She hasn't developed any sort of magic yet, though.
Crisis looking all cute and innocent...
