Appearance Description:

  • ~With a height of 5'2" and a weight of barely 99 pounds, you can tell that Coatzin is your average everyday latin girl, if not a bit smaller than usual.
  • ~She has a slender build, and this mixed with her height and weight makes her look a bit more fragile than she really is.
  • ~Her skin has a peachy tone
  • ~Her eyes are yellow and are easily comparable to those of a viper thanks to the shape of their pupils.
  • ~Most of her teeth resemble those of a human (Though they are a bit sharper), her upper fangs are just like those of a rattlesnake, she even can fold them against the roof of her mouth to avoid hurting herself with them or being forced to keep them poking out of her mouth all the time.
  • ~Before you ask, yes, she can produce venom at will. She doesn't likes to inject venom though, so almost all her bites are dry and harmless...more or less.
  • ~To match her fangs, she has a forked tongue. From time to time she may flick her tongue in a snake-like way. Thanks to her tongue she has a small lisp, and though she had learned to avoid it almost completely most of the time, in certain occasions she may drag the "S" a bit, making it sound like a snake hiss. Both the flicking of her tongue and her lisp are related to her mood.
  • ~She has two wings covered in beautiful rainbow feathers. Their length and strength, mixed with her height and weight, allow her to fly freely through the skies at high speeds and even do a couple of tricks if she wants to. If she decides to fly at a calm peace, letting the air currents do almost all the work for her while keeping her wings almost completely immobile and fully open she can stay on the air for fairly prolonged amounts of time.
  • ~She has a fairly long and strong snake tail covered in rainbow feathers, with some especially long feathers making a fluffy tuft at its end. After several uncomfortable occurrences she learned to keep most of her tail wrapped around her own body. While flying she uses the tail to keep her stability and balance, thing that has proven to be a huge help when fighting strong winds.
  • ~Instead of hair she has some feathers that share the same rainbow coloration as the ones on her wings and tail. Usually these are mostly flat, only their tips lifting on a slight curl. When she gets scared or someone startles her these tend to puff up completely, the reason they do this is to "Give her a bigger and more menacing look", but let's be honest here, the only thing they really do is make her look hilarious, so she immediately forces them to get flat once more with the hands as soon as possible.
  • ~She has some smaller feathers around her wrists and ankles, unlike the rest of her feathers these are predominantly emerald green. There is an occasional feather here and there that isn't green though, giving it a more colorful look at these feathers.
  • ~She has several scales on her shoulders, upper arms, back, neck, cheeks, forehead, upper nose and sides of her head. The predominant color is emerald green, but scales of other colors are scattered between them.
  • ~They maybe don't look like it, but her feathers are quite soft, probably softer than any bird's.
  • ~Even if she tries to mask her emotions from time to time, it's really hard for her to do so. She may be able to force her face to go neutral or hold a fake-emotion, but is fairly easy to know her true mood by looking straight at her eyes and see the movements of her tail.
  • ~She likes to wear loose colorful clothes, the most usual colors being emerald green, sky blue, purple and silver. Her clothes may have a couple of golden designs here and there.
  • ~She always carries a purple backpack with her, where she carries all her valuable stuff, which includes some notebooks, pencils, her videogame handheld console and its videogames.
  • ~She always wears a medallion with the shape of a Feathered Serpent wrapping a multicolored gem. The colors of this gem are always moving and changing in apparently random patterns.


Personality Description:

  • ~Loyal: Coatzin is loyal to death, literally, you can always rely on her and she won't disappoint you. You can tell her a secret and you can take for sure that nobody will ever hear it from her. Also, if she ever makes a promise, she'll do anything and everything to stay true to her word.
  • ~Friendly: She loves making friends wherever she goes, so it isn't unusual for her to talk to anyone she may consider interesting in an attempt to do so. Anyone can talk to her, and as long as they're polite they'll be welcomed instantly.
  • ~Thinks with her heart instead of her mind: This usually causes her to make things that could be considered impulsive, maybe even illogic by some people as her emotions take over her actions. Yeah, this indeed can cause her trouble from time to time, but you it also helps her to see solutions to certain problems that fully logical people wouldn't see, as well to understand other people's feelings better.
  • ~Curious: She's constantly trying to find out what causes the stuff around her and why, fair is to say that she's constantly knowledge-thirsty, reason why it isn't unusual to see her reading books or articles related to whatever had caught her interest in that moment during her free time. If she sees anything that can wake her curiosity she'll try to investigate as well, thing that had caused her to get in trouble several times before.
  • ~Easily amused: Whenever she sees anything new she'll immediately grow interested towards the new thing and probably won't stop until her curiosity is satisfied. This can cause some people to think that she's a bit simple-minded from time to time
  • ~Playful: Since she hates getting bored, at the slightest sign of this she'll immediately start acting like a small kid who wants to play, depending on her boredom levels she may even reach the point where people may see her as immature or childish.
  • ~Hard to upset: It's really hard for anyone to make her get angry, sad or offended. Most of the time she just let the insults slide, or sometimes she doesn't even realizes that she has been insulted at all.
  • ~Cheerful and optimistic: You usually would find her smiling and enjoying life at its fullest, always seeking for that mythical rainbow in even the most terrible storm. She's constantly trying to spread this optimism to everyone around her.
  • ~Impulsive: Even if making her get angry is a bit of a challenge, if you manage to do so she can become fairly aggressive and attack without warning. She may not be physically strong most of the time, but drop your guard against her can be a huge mistake. Against the rest of her body, her long tail can be fairly strong and she can produce a really lethal venom.
  • ~Second chances: She easily forgives and forgets most of the time, giving out second chances like free candy to anyone around her. She's a firm believer that most people only need some time and support to take the right path. This can lead her to be betrayed fairly easily, but she isn't a fool, a third chance can be a bit tricky to get.
  • ~Easy to manipulate: Thanks to her overall personality, it isn't that hard to manipulate her if you know how to do it, but be warned, if she catches you trying or actually doing so she'll immediately stop trusting you at all.
  • ~Dare-devil: If watching her aerial tricks isn't enough to let you know his, I'll tell you now. She loves to stare at the danger straight to the face from time to time. Luckily for her the worst thing that had ever happened to her so far was a broken arm.
  • ~Relaxed: The word stress usually holds little to no meaning to her, you can find her chilling and laughing calmly when other are running around the place with panicked or angry expressions.
  • ~Gamer: Whenever she isn't studying or satisfying her curiosity, you'll find her with her precious videogames. Her favorite videogames are Pokémon, Left4Dead, Resident Evil, Luigi's Mansion and The Legend of Zelda.

Species Abilities:

Flight: Fairly self-explanatory, her wings give her the ability to fly and even do countless aerial tricks, while her tail gives her good stability even against strong winds. Being strong enough to hold a good amount of weight, she can carry one fully grown human on her back without much issue, though carrying anything heavier will start to cause her issues to fly correctly. It would also be worth to mention that if the feathers covering her wings get harmed enough or wet, she won’t be able to take flight, and if her tail is harmed or loses it somehow her stability will be seriously hindered.

Venom: She has a very powerful venom in her fangs that she can inject at will, though sometimes the injection can come out as an involuntary reaction to fear or anger. Without treatment, this venom is always fatal with the ability to kill a fully grown human in approximately five minutes.

Shape Shifting: This is the ability that Feathered Serpents have to change between the form of a full human and their true full Feathered Serpents form. She, given her hybridization, has a third form which is her hybrid form and the one she likes to stay more time in as it feels way more natural than the other two. Her human form is quite similar to her hybrid form, just without scales, feathers, tail and wings, as well as brown hair and eyes. Her full Feathered Serpent form is a fairly big emerald winged snake with the same arrange of feathers on her wings, head and tail, having a length of 36 ft. In her full Feathered Serpent form she can’t speak at all, so she can only communicate through body language or through her mind if the creature she has around has any way to read minds.

Powers:

Blessing of Life: Through this ability she's able to heal living beings who may be in trouble. She would only use it under extreme circumstances. The ability takes its toll on Coatzin's energy after she uses it, regardless of how serious the injury or illness is. For example she can heal scratches or paper cuts without feeling any effects, however, a slash or fractured bone are completely different stories.

Healing wounds is the easiest for her, only those serious enough and broken bones making her fell some energy being drained from her body, however, she can heal several of these at the same time. Mortal wounds, however, are way harder for her to heal and require her to focus only on those before healing any other wound. It must be noted though, while she can reattach limbs and/or organs with some struggles through healing as long as these hadn’t been separated from be body for more than 24 hours, she can’t make limbs nor organs regrow. Also attaching limbs/organs of one person/creature to another is something she had never tried and has no idea if it would even work.

Illnesses are way harder, with even common, simple illnesses being as hard if not somewhat more than healing a broken bone. Unlike wounds that can be healed in one go, if the illness is serious enough several sessions are needed for her to heal the creature. Her worst nightmare are terminal illnesses. Even cancer she can heal after long struggles as long as it isn’t terminal. Terminal illnesses require her to focus on that and only that for prolonged periods of time, and even if she hates to admit it the fight isn’t always one she can win. She needs long repeated sessions just to try and fight an illness like this and more often than not she only stops because she’s near to fainting as she uses up all the energies she had.

Now, she's able to bring back to life someone that has died recently (It won't work on anyone that has been dead for 10 or more hours), but doing so will take a major toll on her and she'll need to recover before trying again (What usually takes from 24 to 48 hours). Even then, if the revival works or not depends a lot on how the person died, it's easier to revive someone who died from a single stab than someone who died from old age or by blood loss, however, there are occasions where she can’t do anything to revive somebody, such as if they were crushed to death, burned down to ashes or situations like these were the body isn’t in conditions to be revived. Also luck plays a major role here It's almost like flipping a coin. Now, there are some occasions where reviving the person will be extremely hard for her and the toll that the power will take for her, regardless of the successful or unsuccessful outcome, will cause her to faint (An example for this would be someone that was dismembered or cut in half). Reviving anyone else before fully recovering is a huge no-no, since the chances of her dying during the process are huge, as the power drains her energy, if she has any left, and starts feeding on her life force instead.

She can heal quickly and is almost immune to most diseases thanks to this, but just like when she heals somebody else, her ability will use her energy to do so. The amount of needed energy for self-healing will be doubled or tripled, depending on the wound or illness.

Healing injuries, illnesses or reviving creatures feed on her energies since she starts using her power and until she’s done or faints as her energies are completely drained. Just like anyone that gets tired through extreme workout, as her energies run out she will become slower, clumsier and overall more and more tired. It’s also worth noting that the more tired she is, the less effective her healing will be.

Light manipulation: She can produce or absorb light at will, and even control it to her liking. Yeah, it may look like only a small show of lights for most people, but after toying with it for a bit she had managed to bend the light enough to make illusions or even make herself invisible as long as she stays completely still. Yet, as said before, this is only an illusion, so people can still touch what she's hiding or even break the illusion under certain circumstances, so she has to be careful.


Biography:

Coatzin was quite an unusual child. Born as a hybrid between a Feathered Serpent hiding behind a human form and a human girl after they both drank a bit too much. When the father found out that he had a daughter he panicked quite a lot, after all, how are you going to explain to the girl why their accidental daughter had Feathered Serpent characteristics when only a couple of minutes ago she didn't even knew that said creatures existed in the very first place?

It took him quite a while to help her to calm down and explain. Let's say that things didn't went as he hoped though, since the girl was furious at him, and her anger was obviously justified. After a long heated argument, his father just took the small hybrid with him and left without saying a word or looking back. His daughter would be safer with him, he was completely sure of that.

Though he would never admit it, he felt a huge mix of feelings after he reached the place that he called home. He never had thought about being a dad before and now he had this little hatchling...uh...baby...hybrid creature with him that he had to take care of, and he had no idea of how to take care of her at all! Hard enough would be to take care of a Fethered Serpent hatchling for him, a MALE Feathered Serpent, to now having to deal with a hybrid that obviously was going to have mixed needs. Just because he could transform into a human it didn't mean that he knew enough about humans to know how they took care of their young.

Even though his father did try to take good care of Coatzin, it was obvious that it was easier said than done. Even if more than once her father had to do some last minute emergency research about how to care for her, since he screwed up more than once, as she grew up she learned to forgive and forget fairly easily, it wasn't his father's fault that he didn't knew how to take care of an hybrid anyways, right? On the good side, she learned to be fairly independent rather quickly.

Her childhood was a bit strange and with quite a lot of slips from her father and herself, but it never bothered her at all, she was happy with her life. Her father felt a lot more relaxed once she started to do things on her own, he still kept a close eye on her, yes, but at least now he didn't had to be worried 24/7 about what he should do and if what he just did was the right thing or not.

However, the secret she was careful to keep from her father was the one related to a dark being that she found out about one night around her 5 years of age, and which nearly killed her after jumping out from a mirror. That was the first time Mikistli and Coatzin saw each other face to face, the first of many lethal fights that would become a normal occurrence between the two for a long time and the fear of mirrors and darkness she had for several years.

It wasn't until she hit her 12 years that he finally decided to find out if she had powers and, if she did, help her to train them a bit. She was going to need them in the nearby future after all, and he had already waited for a bit too long to start this thanks to his constant insecurities. Funny enough, they found out about the light manipulation ability before they found out about her healing ability. Not that she minded though, since it gave her some extra time to practice it and find out how to blend in as a common human through illusions. She already knew a nice amount of info about Feathered Serpents thanks to her dad and now she wanted to learn about her other half, humans.

Even if it obviously made her dad get worried, as soon as she mastered her little hiding technique she started to roam around the human streets, learning a lot of things while doing so. Like the need of keeping her hidden wings as close to her as possible and how doors could close on your long tail (Which hurts like Hell) so you had to have them wrapped around your body as much as possible. She also discovered something that would become a really important part of her life rather quickly: Videogames.

Though earning money was a bit hard for her it took her quite a while to gather the money needed to buy her first videogame console, which ended up being a Nintendo DS, and some videogames, she never gave up, and even her dad gave her some money as well after he noticed why his daughter was so interested.

Also it was during this time that Mikistli started to finally be able to communicate with her through mirrors and, in one awful night, her dark alter-ego almost was successful on killing her, but…for some reason she didn’t. From that day forward things took a change for the better as the two lethal enemies became weird allies, a change of behavior that not even Coatzin knows how or why happened at all but is really grateful for.

She spent several years living a life with a feet on each world, just like any hybrid, but instead of growing attached to any of them over the other or feeling confused she simply accepted it and even started to find out the advantages of being a half-blood over a pure species. You could imagine her surprise when she came back home one day after exploring the human city once more only to find his dad, who was always a nervous wreck whenever she decided to leave his home even after she proved to be fairly independent, with a letter for her.

Curiosity taking over, like always, she quickly grabbed it and read it with his father. He was a bit hesitant at first, but after a lot of talking he finally acceded to let her go, but not before giving her a small gift. He took off the medallion that he always carried around with him, though the gem it usually held had been changed for the one it currently has, she told her that the medallion would let her finally transform and gave it to her after giving her the basics of how to use it, unluckily there was no time for her to test it out. With that gift, several promises and goodbyes, Coatzin finally left his father's home, flying towards this interesting place, Starlight Academy.

Her story in the place was full of adventures and all kinds of new friends…but it was cut short much to Coatzin’s displeasure. However, even if she didn’t want to leave at first, she finally gave in for a simple reason…chasing her alter-ego’s greatest dream, freedom from a curse that kept her inside the mirrors whenever it wasn’t nighttime.

The travel and trials they had to go through were way harder than any of the two could’ve anticipated, and more than once Coatzin found herself in lethal danger and seriously wanting to go back even with her usual cheerful and fairly optimistic personality, though never shared these feeling with her alter-ego given how bad she wanted this. It took them way, way longer than they expected at first, but in the end they found themselves facing the mythical Smoking Mirror on a really old forgotten temple in the middle of a jungle. With a deep breath and bracing herself for the worst, Coatzin shattered the thin obsidian mirror, following the instructions of an old script. The mirror, instead of shattering and getting reduced to dark shards, turned into a black smoke from which Mikistli soon emerged, free at least from the curse of old.
Now, after their great adventure, they are coming back to Starlight Academy, ready to continue where they left off.


Additional Information:
  • She has an Alter-Ego, Mikistli
  • Given the alter-ego relationship she has with Mikistli, she is affected by one of her powers which makes her mind open to hers and vice versa, allowing them to communicate telepathically and even share info and emotion with or without their consent. I didn’t put this on her powers as it doesn’t belongs to her and she’s simply affected by it, but I’ll make Mikistli’s app right after this to go further in depth in this power.
  • The antidote to her venom is extremely rare, so it’s a good thing that she learned to make some on her own and always carries at least three syringes with the needed dose in her backpack in case of an accident. She is completely immune to her own venom.
