En effet, elle pouvait le sentir aussi... cette odeur terrible sur le vent. Quelqu'un a laissé des carcasses d'animaux? On dirait qu'ils sont peut-être aussi un feu... soupiré par Rika. Espérons que celui qui l'a mis avait une idée lointaine de la façon de mettre correctement un feu sans faire monter en flammes toute la vie végétale locale. Heureusement, la plupart des plantes n'ont pas brûlé aussi fort à moins que les conditions ne soient bonnes. Ce n'est pas comme si les arbres n'étaient qu'une arnaque, après tout, ils avaient beaucoup d'humidité en eux. Certaines personnes ne semblaient pas le savoir, et Rika classait ces personnes dans la catégorie des «morons qui n'ont pas de connaissances de base sur le monde». Sérieusement, tout le monde ne savait pas que les plantes avaient besoin d'eau? Où pensaient-ils que l'eau allait? - C'est quoi, ça? Pourtant, ce n'est pas comme s'ils n'étaient pas inflammables, et quelqu'un assez stupide pourrait encore déclencher un feu de forêt. En contemplant ses options, la fille naga a deviné qu'il y aurait probablement du bois pour construire un feu et potentiellement quelque chose à manger sur n'importe quelle route qu'ils prendraient. Ça et, eh bien...
« Toi, kitsune et elfgirl », a-t-elle dit, gesticulant chacun d'eux à tour de rôle. Elle n'avait pas pris leurs noms auparavant, pris dans ses efforts pour ne pas paniquer si profondément, donc j'espère que cela les inciterait à les répéter. "S'en aller sans aucune bonne connaissance de ce qui est comestible et ce qui pourrait être dangereux est la chose la plus stupide que j'ai jamais entendu, et je suis sûr que vous ne voulez pas être idiots. Alors je viens avec toi. Je peux rassembler des provisions pour un feu pendant que nous partons aussi."
Name: Kobayashi Rika
Age (Prior): 18
Appearance (Former): Don't let the pleasant look fool you. She stands at 5'3.
Appearance (Current): Hey, not much has changed! Her hair's a bit lighter, she has pointed ears... oh, wait, she's also a giant snake from her thighs down. About 5'0 at rest. The tail portion of her body is around eight feet long and causes her height to vary depending on how coiled it is or how upbright she is making her position.
Race: Naga
Personality: Rika looks like a pleasant and friendly girl. To be fair to her, this isn't really what anyone would call totally inaccurate, as she can be quite nice and friendly to people she likes. But that's people she likes. If you don't give her an excuse to be nice, she's a surly, argumentative, and sarcastic girl who tends to insult others for what she perceives as stupidity and complain rather openly. She's prone to teasing somewhat, as well, but any counter-teasing easily flusters her. Rika is easy to embarrass and tends to become something of a stuttering mess when she is, trying to find the quickest and most direct path out of an embarrassing situation and take it. That being send, deep down, part of her motivation for the insults and complaints is driven by a desire not to see people do something stupid and get themselves hurt... though a lot of it is low tolerance for what she sees as stupidity too. Putting it simply, Rika can be quite irritable.
Skills: Prior to suddenly taking a trip to "I'm a naga now" fantasyland, Rika had very few skills based on strength. She wasn't that athletic, but she did know how to start a fire, learned from her father who was an avid camper. She is also a decent cook and can identify some forms of edible plants and fungi due to her father's nature lessons. Currently she retains this skill, as well as a new one. While the humanlike portion of her body is not too different in strength from her human self, everything from her thighs down is a massive snake tail. And a snake tail is, essentially, a giant tube of muscle. Incredibly heavy and extremely strong, it can be used as a remarkably potent offensive or defensive weapon. Her back teeth are like they are in a human, regular molars, but her front teeth are sharp and can, however awkwardly and likely as a last-ditch defensive measure, be used to deliver a painful bite. To her disappointment she lacks any kind of venom.
History: Born in the Ikebukuro district of Tokyo, Rika has lived a fairly normal life. Her father was an avid nature fan and her mother was a more down-to-earth individual. This resulted in something of a dual upbringing, where her father brought her on camping trips and taught her about nature, and her mother taught her about practical things she'd need to know in life. While she did not at all dislike her father or their camping trips, in the end Rika ended up as rather critical of anyone doing anything silly, like her mother. This was likely because, in spite of all his knowledge, her father was something of a clutz who constantly got himself banged up, bruises and scraps all over from his hiking and camping trips. It was, to put it simply, a good thing he knows basic first aid.
Rika went through school excelling in all her classes and scoring very highly in every class, proving herself to be quite an intelligent girl throughout her life. However, in middle school, one of her friends was injured in an accident caused by fooling around. This made Rika, already a girl who didn't suffer fools, even more vehemently outspoken against what she felt was stupidity. And now, on the day after her high school graduation, well...
She's going to awaken to a bit of a shock.
Other: As a naga, Rika can only eat meat.
