Character Sheet for Penni The Timber Rattlesnake
Character Description
Penni is a mercenary/cultist leader who only fights for herself. Her hypnosis comes in two forms: Her eyes which she developed from an experiment she paid for to better her skills. Who conducted the experiment is unknown but the results speak for themselves on their effectiveness. Anyone looking at her hypnotic color rings will quickly fall into a trance and be obedient to her. Her other hypno ability is her original natural form, and comes from her venomous fangs. They inject a hallucinogenic venom that toys with the victims mind making them believe things Penni wants them to believe. Her 5 mt long tail is very useful to grab things out of reach or to keep people still when she hypnotizes them.

Background/History
Mercenary, merchant, treasure hunter and adventurer, Penni is a snake of many professions. But she is by no means a good person. While conducting her mercenary work she's prone to indoctrinating sleeper agents of enemy factions to assist with her assignments. Because of her species she has a light and dark phase pigment that she can change at will making her extremely difficult to track and know if she has anyone converted to her sleeper agents. As a merchant she sells the odd collection of treasures she finds along the way from her missions. Penni is a pure anti-hero never on anyone's side nor caring about the people she indoctrinates in her path to her mission. There are rumors she amassed a small cult-like group who follow her who are comprised of members who betrayed their comrades and only have Penni to follow.
World/Setting
She's nomad, so she doesn't have a fixated home.
Body
She has a sleek, nimble body, making her quite proficient when it comes to escaping. Like all good hypno snakes, she can make her eye color change very fast, in a cascade of colorful mind-altering rings.
Clothing
Adventuring robe and hood
