Profile
Elyssia Nikos is a Lamia with shapeshifting capabilities. She gathers mana by spreading positive energy from streaming and accumulates it her gemstone, until she manages to gather enough for a new transformation. Not much more has been said about this process, or her origins.

As a lamia, she has a human body up until her waist, at which point the rest of her body is that of a snake. Her skin is peachy white and her eyes are blue. Her hair is long and mostly straight, but increases in volume a bit at the tips; and it's pink on the outside but blonde on the inside, with yellow, blue and pink strands. Her fingernails are also painted in this three colors. Her tail is pink, while her abdominal scales are light yellow. She has patches of scales in her shoulders and cheeks. Her ears are long and pointed, and almost horizontal.

She wears a two piece outfit of two-toned brown leather, with a white undershirt that has a collar, detached puffy sleeves that are kept in place by two-toned leather belts, and a back that stretches past her skirt. The skirt has one main plate that covers most of the front, with a few plates on the sides; and three belts on one side with a golden chain on the other. All around the outfit has gold accents.

For accessories, she wears a leather choker with gold snakes, which she hangs her blue gemstone from. She has a smaller blue gemstones on a golden chain in one of her earrings, and wears a two-toned and gold accented cuff-like accessory on the tip of her tail.
