Personal history

Lady Medea Delphi was a noble-born woman from what was believed to be a normal human family, astoundingly she was born with green snakelike eyes and patches of scaly skin. She was a Yuan-Ti Pureblood, and thus a secret and a shame to her family. So for the next few decades, she was locked away in a tower on the family estate, never to see the world. Her only friends were her books, the birds that landed on her window sill, the occasional tutor, and her maids. The maids, in particular, were very kind to her, they made sure she always had her favorite meals, dressed her in favorite clothes, brought her books of all kinds (even "illegal ones") from the Imperium Academia, and even kept her company some days. Despite this, she was still lonely and longed to see the outside world and resented herself and her "curse". She developed a sense of Ophidiophobia, the fear of snakes, due to her own nature and her rejection of it. Thus in that tower, she had nothing but time, so she read many of the "forbidden" books and prayed to many of the gods and goddesses seeking freedom from her curse and for the approval and love of her family. Her prayers were finally answered one day in the form of the Goddess Hecate, the first and only deity that even bothered to answer her prayers. Hecate blessed her with a magical key that could unlock almost any door and named her a Cleric, she did not cure her of her curse but rather provided her with the means of finding one. So in the dead of night, without even tell her maids, she packed her things and stole a few necessary gears. Since then she has been on the run and seeking a cure to her curse, she knows it's out there somewhere and will not rest until she has one.

Education

As a noblewoman and locked away most of her life, her education came from private tutors that were hired discreetly and secretly by her family. They taught her many of the basics of the world and her education, the rest she learned by reading many of the books provided to her by the maids.

Employment

She has never been employed and is at this moment more so a wanderer and pilgrim of sorts.

Accomplishments & Achievements

Thus far her biggest accomplishment is becoming a Cleric of Hecate and escaping her tower, beyond that not so much.

Failures & Embarrassments

She feels that she is an utter failure to her family and that they are embarrassed by her mere existence. They wouldn't kill her and yet they refused to even see or speak with her through most of her youth.

Mental Trauma

She doesn't hate or fear herself as much as she hates and fears what she can do and her own nature as a Yuan-Ti Pureblood. This compounds into her Ophidiophobia, her fear of snakes.

Intellectual Characteristics

She can very clever due her private tutelage, but she is wise beyond her years and has a penchant for medicine and anatomy. This is due to her research into her own condition and her attempts to cure herself.

Morality & Philosophy

You tend to be morally good, but not particularly beholden to any supposedly just laws nor do actively break any laws in the name of what is right. But rather you follow the principles of Hecate and your own conscience.

The unnecessary and/or corrupt use of anyone's Noble blood or title to get their way or to get away with things, she rarely even uses her family's influence or name to begin with let alone for power.

Personality

Motivation

Her desire to find a cure to her condition and curse, her Yuan-Ti lineage. This is all done in the name of seeking the approval, acceptance, and love of her family.

Social

Birthplace

The Delphi Estate

Current Residence

Unknown

Contacts & Relations

The entirety of the Delphi family, Estate, and servants/vassals beneath them. She has no official contact with them, but if she were to use her ring or pedigree papers then they'd be able to track her down.

Honorary & Occupational Titles

She is referred to as "Lady Medea Delphi" officially, but her actual family's ranking is unknown at this time as she never cared to learn. But she knows they have a high standing in society and that her existence could lead to the decline in their power and tarnish their reputation.

Wealth & Financial state

Whatever is on her person at the time, though if she were to drop the Delphi name at a bank or store then she probably could get away with more.

Family Ties

The Delphi family has many ties to many other noble families the aristocracy, with various guilds and merchants, many different temples, and even the Imperium Academia. But those are the Delphi ties, not Medea's.
Family Tree: Father Midas Delphi, Mother Medusa Delphi, an older brother Phoebus, and a younger sister Artemesia.

Religious Views

She is proud Cleric and servant of Hecate; a goddess of magic and doorways. She of all the gods and goddesses answered her prayers, she alone gave her a way out of her imprisonment and put her on the path of finding a cure to her curse. For that she has earned her undying loyalty and all the other gods are beneath her as they did nothing for her.

Social Aptitude

Despite her private education and tutelage, she is very limited when it comes to dealing with social situations; especially when dealing with other nobles or those in power. Most young noblemen and noblewomen are trained extensively in such things, she was not.

Mannerisms

She is polite by commoner standards, but not necessarily by noble ones. If she was taught proper noble etiquette, she sure doesn't show it.

Hobbies & Pets

She really wants a pet, preferably something fluffy or feathery (not snakes). As far as hobbies go, she loves to play with her Tarot cards and do readings for fun.

Speech

She is rather well spoken, and can speak in the cadence and voice of a noble. This sometimes works against her as she is incognito while searching for her cure.
