Lucilla Orphypise

**Lucilla Orphypise** is a hybrid, specifically, a werepyre, even more specifically, a lamia.

## Lore

Lucilla was the daughter of a wealthy aristocratic couple; her father was a vampire, her mother, a weresnake. Like all werebeasts and part-weres, Lucilla experienced her first change underneath the first full moon after her thirteenth birthday. Her mother was, of course, thrilled, and though he would've preferred she was full vampire, like him, her father was nonetheless proud of his daughter. Her parents expected that, considering her parentage, the chances of Lucilla being full vampire or full weresnake was....slim, to say the least. At least she inherited features from both sides of her heritage, and that was all they could ask for. Lucilla lived a life of luxury, at least until her parents went on an adventure with their old friends, and never returned. Lucilla now lives in the family mansion, waiting to get her inheritance until she comes of age.

## Appearance

Like most people with werebeast heritage, Lucilla has three distinct forms; a human form, a therian form, and a full animal form. In her human form, she looks like someone who was born a vampire, with black hair, pale skin, red eyes, pointed ears, fangs in her mouth, and claws on her hands. Her wardrobe usually consists of dresses in different styles, but that are usually in black and purple.
In her therian form, Lucilla looks like a hybrid of a human, a bat, and a snake, with black, scaly skin, with bloodred scales from underneath her chin to just before the tip of her tail, bloodred, serpentine eyes, pointed, bat-like ears, a serpentine face, with a bat-like nose, fangs, claws, a forked tongue, a serpentine tail in place of legs, and large, bat-like wings sprouting from her back.
In her animal form, Lucilla looks like a strange hybrid of a snake and a bat, with a mainly snake-like body and face, but with bat wings, ears, and nose.

## Personality

If Lucilla was to be aligned on the D&D alignment chart, she would be smack-dab in the middle, in True Neutral. She does what is best for her at the time. She behaves in a good manner to those she considers friends and allies, but will only act maliciously against those who try to hurt her in one way or another. For everyone else, she doesn't really care. She doesn't wish ill on those she doesn't know, but she also doesn't care when she hears of evil befalling them. Better for others to suffer the evil than her and her allies. If an ally is in need, she will aid them, out of genuine love or because she may be able to count on that ally a little more in the future. If someone else is in need, she will weigh the options of the potential rewards and dangers associated with the act. If an enemy is in need, she will either ignore them or take advantage of their misfortune. Also, due to the full moon that she first transformed under, she is a natural leader, and has a high amount of charisma, as well.
