Pendant quelques instants, Rika a de nouveau été prise de panique pour regarder à blanc les débats. Cette idiote... elle essayait de l'empêcher de tomber malade, de ne pas l'attaquer ou quoi que ce soit qu'il pensait qu'elle faisait. Oui. Peut-être qu'il réaliserait à quel point il était stupide et retournait de sa propre volonté... Pour l'instant, les autres gens semblaient plus sensés... et vu leur nature pas trop choquée par le fait qu'elle avait une queue de serpent au lieu des jambes. En lui portant la paume sur le visage pendant qu'il s'enfuyait, elle laissa un soupir et se redressait avant de décider de suivre les autres... du moins... jusqu'à ce qu'elle sente la tête. Et a senti le sang. Elle a été confuse pendant un moment, mais elle a pu identifier la forme de fer du sang dans l'air. Elle s'arrêta un moment, se retirant sur sa queue serpentine. Pourquoi quelqu'un saignait? Pourquoi était-il si chaud?
- C'est quoi, ça? C'était le kitsune...? Elle était... saignée de nez et si chaude que Rika pouvait le sentir... même si ça semblait subventionner. Qu'est-ce qui se passait? Rika n'a pas pu s'empêcher d'être inquiète un moment. Certainement, cette fille n'avait pas l'air d'avoir fait quelque chose de mal. Pourquoi n'est-ce pas arrivé à la personne qui a essayé de les nourrir de viande gâtée? Peut-être que ça le bourrerait de sens.
"Quoi... Il s'est passé...?" était tout ce qu'elle pouvait demander alors qu'elle s'était glissée vers eux, essayant de garder son esprit sur d'autres choses puis le changement radical qui avait été infligé à son propre corps. Au moins se déplacer avec la queue de serpent n'était pas difficile, même si elle n'était pas complètement sûre comment elle avait si facilement pris à elle. Mais on aurait dit que la fille kitsune était malade... C'était tellement déroutant en ce moment. "... Eh bien... elle... elle a besoin d'un endroit où se reposer. Si nous voulons trouver de la nourriture vraiment comestible, nous devons rester loin du cadavre pourri et trouver... une autre viande."
Elle ne pouvait même pas penser à manger quelque chose à base de plantes. Elle se sentait un peu malade, mais pas aussi mal que la carcasse de cerf.
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.
