**Whitesnake** is the Stand of The Taco Salesman.

## Appearance

Whitesnake is a humanoid Stand of a height and build similar to Pucci's. It is sparsely clothed in black, with a mask covering its face to the bottom of where its nose would be, in a piece that rises above its head by half its height in a row of peaks, like a crown. Its attire is based on an executioner. Its light skin is marked by horizontal stripes of roughly an inch's height, with "*TFSD*" (**T**ortilla/**F**illing/**S**auce/**D**ISC) repeatedly written on every other stripe which the letters are the main ingredients for Quintero’s special tacos. Its irises are also unique, appearing as if they are melting.

Whitesnake is white and black, with golden spikes and bumps on its clothing.

## Personality

Despite being controlled by Quintero, Whitesnake moves with its own sense of self-awareness and will often portray a cold, scornful, and hateful personality. It acts as Quintero's mouthpiece and security guard for his taco shop when he is not there, serving to protect the shop while Quintero himself watches from afar.

## Abilities

As a long-distance Stand, Whitesnake possesses an extended range (about 20 meters, allowing its user, Juan Pedro Quintero, to use it as if it is an employee. Despite this, it displays strength similar to that of most close range stands and is capable of performing precise and deadly movements.

It's strong and fast enough to fight most close ranged stands head-on, though not necessarily overpower them. Thus, Quintero relies on Whitesnake's esoteric set of powers to ambush enemies and take them down in one strike.

### "Melt your Heart" & Illusion

Whitesnake can produce an acid that slowly digests objects like stomach acid. It constantly exudes this acid and can even take a partially molten form to hide. While dissolving, targets of this attack are distracted in a delusional dream-state. A person trapped in the dream may wake up from it by noticing discrepancies between the dream and established reality. The melting portion of the ability requires a significant amount of time to use effectively, reflected in the "D" in its speed parameter. The Stand itself’s punches are still quite fast despite this.

Whitesnake can also create sophisticated illusions to disguise itself as other people, which it usually uses to make itself appear to be a regular security guard. However, non-stand users can still not see it in this form, making it still possible to tell apart from a real security guard.

### Disc Creation

Whitesnake's primary ability is to manipulate spirits through the use of special DISCs.

Whitesnake can first and foremost extract a portion or the entirety of a person's psyche out of their bodies in the form of tangible DISCS and then put them into people. To do so, Whitesnake must touch its victim and take the time to physically "extract" the disc from them; as such, partial extraction is ineffective.

There are two main types of DISCS: Memory Discs contain a person's memory and Stand Discs contain a person's Stand. Discs may be inserted into another person's head, allowing them to either freely consult the memories inside or use the corresponding Stand, much like the original user. Quintero can use this mechanic to force a detrimental power into someone, as long as he has collected the right Stand DISC. In certain instances, those with inserted discs can eject them, presumably through enough force to the head.

People whose Stand and Memory DISCs are extracted will fall into a coma and may die, their bodily functions stopping and having to be maintained through machines. Putting a Memory DISC back inside their rightful owner will restore them, however, the same does not apply with Stand DISCs. A Stand User with only a Stand DISC can regain consciousness and be capable of learning, but the loss of their will to live results in muscle atrophy and eventual death of the body. Exceptions can be made to this through unknown methods.

Whitesnake also possesses the ability to insert and extract DISCs of miscellaneous use. Discs can contain instructions the host will instinctively obey without question, and enables them to do seemingly impossible feats like exploding, showcasing the power of suggestion over a physical body. He can also insert CDs into people, causing their body to repeatedly play that CD. Finally, Whitesnake is able to extract senses.
