Khimaera
"I am a friend to a friend of I."
Appearance
Khimaera is the work of magic clearly not of this realm, resembling a hybrid between a Chimera and a Human. She posses Lion ears and goat horns, sharp green eyes, and carries with her a stern expression. Almost seven feet tall, Khimaera has legs not too dissimilar from a Satyr, with chestnut brown fur covering them almost completely up to her hips. Her forearms are often indistinguishable from a human, but can also manifest as the forearms of a Lion, including their claws. With long curled grey hair, Khimaera is complete with a near-sentient viper acting as her tail.
Skills and Abilities
Fire breath: Borrowed from the creature she once was, Khimaera can make manifest a flame not too dissimilar from that of a Dragon's breath. It is unclear how exactly she can breathe fire at-will without causing herself serious harm.
Chimeric Strength: True to her origins, Khimaera's transformation has not hindered or disabled her raw power with fists; however her Strength is also her weakness, she will often choose to forgo using a weapon unless deemed absolutely necessary.
Viper: The serpentine tail attached to Khimaera has a mind of it's own, able to inject poison into bites, this Viper is also capable of seeing things in infrared, much like their real life counterparts. However, the Viper is not truly sentient, and therefore anything it sees is only communited to Khimaera through acute senses or actions, rather than a direct thought.

Personality
Despite having technically lived well into adulthood, Khimaera posses little memories outside of her dwelling. By default, her former nature as a scattered mind in a violent monstrosity has left her innately distrusting of others, reserved, and seemingly always alert. However, should one be able to befriend her, they are much more likely to find a loyal and caring ally, rather than a treacherous beast.
Biography & Lore
Khimaera is... simply put - a Monstrosity Ascendant (not to be confused with the species). Created through the meddling of a Demon, who saw sentience in what should have been a mindless Chimera, Khimaera is both a work of art and a force of nature. Enslaved to the Demon who "saved" her, Khimaera serves her Masters will under a contract yet known. An amnesiac with no knowledge of the world outside of simple vocabulary, Khimaera struggles to fit in both physically and mentally, leaving her reclusive. Because of this, almost nothing is known about her, even her allegiance to any Demon is hidden through her stonewalling and evasiveness. The one thing she will admit is that she chose her own name to be a reminder of what she once was, and to an extent will always be.
