Re: Forest Dweller (Iggy)
Setia Alarra is a cockatrice. Her body is that of a human's and bears a tail like a lizard's, and her feathery soft wings and talons are that of harpy's. In place of arms, she bore large feathery soft wings. She has a modest, small bust and a curvy, slim figure. Despite her partial reptilianne appearance, her physiology is closer to that of a harpy than that of any reptile. She has short, chestnut brown hair, the scales on her tail are a shimmering green color, the scales on her thighs were an almost glistening opaline white, and the feathers on her body and wings that are opaline white, similar to the coloration of the scales on her thighs. Atop her head, amongst her soft, short-grown hair are a few feathers sticking upright, almost decoratively. White feathers grew all around her lower leg, just below the scales on her thighs, and below that were her bird-like taloned feet.
Setia lives alone in a small cave deep in the thick forests near Acheron. This isolated lifestyle is frequently hard on her, but is necessary. Her body emits powerful pheremones which attract human men, which makes it a bad idea to live in or near any sort of human civilization. It is instictive for her to run away from any human that finds her.
Another disadvantage of this nomadic lifestyle is the need for self-sufficiency. Setia doesn't have much in terms of clothing and had to make due with what she finds lying around the forest. Wrapped around her chest and nethers are small strips of decorative cloth, that just cover her erogeonous zones. She had fighting tape wrapped around her feet and in between her talons, as a simple, makeshit way to protect her feet.
Setia hums softly to herself as she makes her way to the river spring to gather food and provisions for the winter season ahead of her. Her thin strips of cloth she calls clothing didn't provide much warmth for her while she was out in the chilly air. Also, having wings for arms did make it more difficult for her to gather food. Winter was close approaching and she was on a strict schedule to gather specific food items each day. Today, she is scheduled to catch and store fish for the winter season ahead. With her, she carries an old, worn leather satchel to carry home her provisons in.
When she made it to the spring, she immediately eyes a large, juicey looking trout and gets in position to scoop it out of the water. However, she hops up startled by the sound of the snapping twig. She quickly turns to the source, her facial expression transitioning towards that of a look of panic upon discovering the human hunter. Her instincts kick in as she attempts to quickly hop into the water to dampen the effect of her pheremones and back out to start dashing away through the forest away from the human.
