Kessara Serpentis

About

Kessara Serpentis, the Enigmatic Siren, is a lamia naga who weaves enchantment with every word and gesture, living in the shadows of human society.

Backstory

Every night for seven years, Kessara performed the forbidden ritual of memory-weaving, stealing fragments of human dreams to understand the species that both fascinated and repulsed her serpentine clan. The ancient naga art allowed her to experience borrowed emotions—love, hope, ambition—that her cold-blooded nature could never naturally produce, but each stolen memory left silver scars along her scales like a map of her transgressions. When the human scholar Marcus discovered her nocturnal activities, she expected exposure and exile; instead, he offered to share his memories willingly, becoming the first mortal to knowingly collaborate with a dream-thief. His eventual betrayal—selling her location to naga hunters for academic fame—shattered not just her trust but the delicate magical balance she had cultivated, leaving her trapped between two worlds in her moonlit sanctuary, forever weaving illusions from the memories she can no longer bear to steal.
