Character: Medusa
Series: Soul Eater
Age: Appears as a young woman
Job: Direction Provider
Canon: In the world of Soul Eater, living weapons eat souls. Not just anyone's souls, though: eating the soul of a normal human is forbidden, and the souls of those who break that rule turn into something evil. At Shibusen, a school for aspiring weapons and their wielders, they only eat those bad eggs. For a weapon to become a Death Scythe, a weapon powerful enough to be wielded by a shinigami, they must eat 99 of those souls... and one soul of a witch.
Medusa is a witch; however, unlike most other witches (who are content to work their magic safely far away from the students) Medusa is a snake in a den of wolves. She infiltrates Shibusen by disguising her power and playing the role of an attractive school nurse. The deception is easy, since Medusa can lie as easily as she breathes. She appears polite, kind, and trustworthy enough that she can proceed with malicious plans - including experimenting on the students - mostly unnoticed. Even after she chooses to reveal herself and put her evil plans into action, she still smiles charmingly between her dark threats.
Medusa's magic takes two main forms: thousands of amorphous snakes (which can grow large enough to stand on or small enough to slip into someone's body unnoticed), and arrow-themed spells (arrows that cut people, arrows on surfaces that propel people, etc.).
Sample Post:
Hello, campers! You can call me Medusa. As long as I'm here, I'll be advising you all about what direction you want to take in life. I assure you, I'll can guide you on your path as straight as an arrow. Of course, your path doesn't have to be straight if your preferences lie elsewhere - I'm confident that you can manage whatever kinks you encounter. After all, you're all capable of amazing things. If anyone ever finds themselves incapable, just let me know - I do have some medical training. I hope you'll confide in me, even if it's a personal issue. Just remember that everyone here can change the world, as long as you keep moving forward and getting stronger, and I'm here to help guide you on your way.
However, I would first like to clear up some misconceptions. First of all, no matter what my name is, I won't be turning anyone to stone, and I would rather not hear any jokes about turning you rock-hard, either; isn't that sexual harassment? It's completely inappropriate. Secondly, I also hear some people calling me a snake! Oh, dear. The stereotype of intelligent women as cold and conniving is worn out by now. Where would you have gotten such ideas? ...Toucans? Well! I'll have to track those birds down. Whether they're witches or just magical beasts, to have them spread such unfounded rumors about a teacher--! Children, please remain here while I investigate.
...Ah, here we are. Brightly colored birds aren't terribly hard to find, magical or not; you might want to invest in some camouflage if you're going to spread such vile slander. Still, you're such a pretty bird! Oh, but some of your feathers seem to be out of place; let me - ah! Your beak is as sharp as your tongue, I see. Fine, I won't touch you - but you seem talkative, and I would like to know where you're getting your information from, if you would be so kind.
Hmm, mind reading, is it? That does seem like a bit of a liability for me. In that case, I wonder if you can still use that ability with snakes eating away at your brain? It should be a good experiment. ...My, such horrible language! I'll definitely have to punish you. Although if you'd rather not have your skull torn open, I'm sure that we can come to some arrangement. Perhaps you could be my spy? I've been placed in charge of guidance, after all, and mind reading could be very useful in discovering who here is worth manipulating. I'm sure some of the people here think about more interesting things than where inside my body I keep my snakes.
