Countess Tern

Tern

The fur on the back of your neck instinctively rises as you hear a familiar hissss in the grass. Spotting the snake in the grass, you growl and ready your claws -- but it slithers right past you. Instead it makes its way to a shaggy lioness, who lets it climb up forelegs and around her neck without a flinch. She speaks to it softly, a kind of soft cooing tone you've heard from mothers to their cubs, and carries on her way with her passenger in tow.

Tern is a charming mover, and would likely be a charming talker too if it weren't for her "pets." It can be rather distracting, or even unnerving, to have a conversation with someone crawling with snakes. However, those who don't mind her companions -- or better yet, see them for the intelligent creatures they are -- will find Tern to have a sweet, gentle heart and an sharp mind. She is soft-spoken, but possesses quite the way with words; she is a natural poet, especially when musing to herself or her snakes.
