Post Shaina, the last of her race
Name:
Shaina

Age:
She remembers the shaping of the land that is now called Alagaësia, and what it was like way before the tyrant king.

Gender:
Female

Skills:
Shift:
Shaina has the ability to shift to what is now known to be a human. After she has shifted to the small form, she must wait several hours before she can shift back to her inherited shape. And the same for the other way.
Stave:
When she met Leýa, the female elf had taught her how to fight, defend, and attack using a wooden stave. Useless this weapon may look, but it stings to be smacked by it. At the end of her training, she was a hardened warrior. As a gift, her friend gave her the strongest stave she could ever make, making sure to protect it with spells and wards as she created it. It is repellant of most enchantments, and has endured many fights and battles. It has never shattered nor splintered, though it will when the toughened wood has had enough.

Race:
Gaint Cobra

Hair:
As a human, her hair is the same shade as her scales; tawny brown streaked through with shimmering bronze, and usually hangs in curling ringlets down to the middle of her back.

Eyes:
To her enemies her eyes are a cold blood red. To her allies and friends, they are a soft, welcoming ruby. As a human, they are a gentle bronze

Home Village:
If you can call a big cave/hole in the hot sands of the Hadarac a home.

Parents:
Shina (Mother) Zant (Father). Both deceased to her knowledge.

Siblings:
Hanel, San, Bathel, Coth (brothers), Sana, Veva, Venta and Savia (sisters). Hanel, Bathel, Sana, Venta and San were killed by wild animals shortly after hatching. Coth lives deeper in her cave. She has no idea where Veva and Savia might be. All three are younger than she.

Character Personality:
Shaina is as cunning and sharp as any snake would be. As she is one of the last of her entire race (to her knowledge), she always prefers to be in her inherited form. She can also retaliate faster if she is attacked. Since she was hatched, she learned the hard way that life is most of the time harsh. She lost her mother, father, and most every one of her siblings. After, she learned that it was best if she hardened her heart to compassion. The only one that can see her true emotions is Coth, and even he is sometimes closed out.

She is no heartless monster. Closed her heart may be, but she still feels. When she is not caring for her brother, she is either hunting or spying. She doesn't pillage towns and villages if she can help it. She would rather directly kill a human than starve them slowly to death by eating their only source of food; meat. When she isn't watching herself, her emotions do break through the hard shell she has constructed around herself. When this happens, her true heart emerges, she can feel compassion, happiness, and love. Coth enjoys seeing these fleeting shows of emotion, but they never last long.

Shaina hides her inner heart for fear that it will be hurt again. If she ever lost Coth, she doesn't know what she would do, and she doesn't want to find out. Despite her shield, she still has enjoyments. On a hot day, which is everyday in the Hadarac, she slithers out from the cold depths of her cave, usually joined shortly by Coth, and lays out on the sweltering hot sand, her scaly skin soaking up the heat like a sponge. She also enjoys tail wrestling with her brother, which entails twining their tails together and trying to pull one all the way toward the other.

Character History:
Shaina was hatched when the land was still quite young, and had not been named yet. She watched and helped it flourish, always from the shadows. For decades upon decades she had a hand in the growing of the land. She was proud of what the land had become. Sixty years after her birth, her parents had another group of eggs, out of which hatched her four brothers and sisters. Only one of her brothers and two of her sisters survived from a wild animal attack shortly after their hatching.

She had searched the nest for days for her two surviving sisters, Veva and Savia. Not finding them, she took her brother with her and retreated to an unoccupied cave. Every day she goes out and tries to find her two remaining siblings. After centuries of not finding them, she began to lose hope all together. In all that time, she taught Coth, her brother, how to hunt, fight, and otherwise survive in the world. On one of her scoutings, she found the body of a big snake; more directly known as a cobra. She could not identify whether it was one of her siblings or not, it was so mangled from scavengers.

Shaina was alive when the dragons came. She was curious as to how she and the dragons were so alike. Both of them were dressed in the scales of a reptile, and had dangerous fangs. The only difference was that they had wings and legs; she had neither of those things. She never approached them, only watched from a distance. The one dragon she watched the most was a great golden one with piercing blue eyes, who was said to be the direct descendant of the Great Dragon.

After the elves came, she decided to come out finally and greet the new inhabitants. The first elf she met was not receptive to her presence and tried to attack her. Unwilling to kill, she simply slithered away and hid in her cave with Coth. After this, she tried several more times to contact the elves, but was always attacked. Soon she gave up trying to make friends; her form was to menacing at first glance. As she was moping around her cave, she discovered her ability to change her shape. She could only shift to one other thing beside her true form; a being resembling an elf, without the pointed ears. She tried using this skill in approaching another elf. It worked miracles. She and a female elf named Leýa became close friends. After several decades, Shaina told her friend of her secret. Contrary to past expierance, Leýa was quite open about it.

A century later, the Dragon War. Most of the dragons were wiped out by the elves, and most of the elves by the dragons. Leýa was severely injured by a dragon that scales shone like the moon. She barely survived, but somehow, she did. After her friend's near death, she has never trusted the word of a dragon, even after the pact between dragons and elves. Humans came not long after the pact. They were added to the pact, and also were able to become something great and mighty; The Rider of a magnificent Dragon.

Weapons:
Venom:
When Shaina hatched, the smallest drop of her venom was fatal if it entered a wound. As she grew older, it grew less deadly, but is still lethal if not removed within a few minutes. To trigger her venom, pressure must be exibitated on her massive fangs, and then the venom will shoot out from the pockets in the roof of her mouth, and it will then squeeze its way through a vein inside her fang and so penatrate the victim through the tip so that the venom is in direct contact with flesh. She also has two different types of venom. One is for when she is hunting, and one is for when she is being attacked. While hunting, she can trigger the venom that will only stun her prey's muscles so it can't move. In battle, she can trigger the other venom that will enter the nervous system and shut the body down, basically killing it within a few minutes of her bite.
Fangs:
Shaina's fangs are as long as half of the body of a man (three to four feet). They can rip and shred through the toughest material, including bones. Scales are harder for her to puncture, depending on their thickness.
Stave:
With a large, slightly round nub at the top, the long stave is almost as long as she is tall in human form. Slender and strong, it is smooth and polished from the rubbing of her hands on its surface.

Likes:
Her brother, Coth. Nature. Heat.

Dislikes:
This new threat in the land, Galbatorix and his fell dragon, Shruikan. Dragons in general. Death. Cold. The giant birds known as Rocs.

Animal Companions:
None

Character's Physical Description:
In length, Shaina is fifty-five feet long. Her head alone is five feet of that length. In actual size, she is four feet around, slowly tapering off to her whip-like tail. Her scales are a tawny brown streaked with bronze. From the tip of her nose to the end of her tail, she is a coil of writhing muscles. Everytime she moves, her scales ripple with color and strength. Despite this, she only uses her body as a weapon when hunting. She rarely battles.
As a human, she is tall, lean, quite muscular, and quiet as a mouse. At nearly six feet tall, she towers above most women, and some men as well. Her eyes change to a soft brass color, concealing her true shape. Her hair however retains the shimmering tawny brown/bronze of her scales, and hangs to slightly before the middle of her back. Her rose bud red lips curve around a enchanting smile, when she feels like easing someones temper or damaged ego. Her quick feet can carry her most anywhere without detection. Her small and lithe frame can fit in the most unlikely places. She mostly wears a light leather armor that protects the bare minemal; chest, lower part of the neck, shoulders, upper legs, and groin. Her arms, lower legs, stomach, lower torso, and face are not sheltered by the toughened leather. Held in a harness strapped to her back is a hard wooden stave. Made with magical means and almost indestructable, this is her ultimate weapon if she is attacked. To conceal herself and her stave, she wears a indigo blue cloak lined on the edge with silver.

Dreams for the Future:
1:
Somehow make contact with the Varden. Without being attacked first.
2:
Take Galbatorix down.
3:
Find her remaining siblings, Veva and Savia.

Reason for Dreams:
1:
Shaina wants to have a better home than a cave. She doesn't want to die.
2:
She doesn't want to die.
3:
She does not want her brother to be alone if she is killed.

Alignment/Side:
Shaina hates Galbatorix. She tolerates the Varden. With her age, she remembers better times when all types of creatures could walk, slither, or fly without fear. In that respect, she leans more toward the Varden, for it is they that wish to end the war and restore the peace that was lost.

OOC:
Did she live up to your expectations, Draco?lol Anyway, here she is. Hope she's good so I can have some fun with her.

Seems fine, just try to avoid putting to many spaces between lines. Even though you make the requirements, it makes it look like you have more than you should.
Just a word of advice. =)

Anyways it looks good by me, Accepted.
