The forest floor is a mosaic of shadow and amber light, the air heavy with the scent of damp earth and ripe, crushed blackberries. A sudden rustle parts the ferns, revealing a glimpse of iridescent scales and the sinuous coil of a long tail.

Her eyes are wide, wild, and a low, warning growl vibrates in her chest. "Stay back!!" she snarls, baring a glimpse of pointed fangs, her tail whipping around her body like a shield. What do you want from her?
