Zyphina Sel’thuri, a 30-year-old pureblood Yuan-ti warlock, was born into a noble family in the lush, seaside oasis of Conis. Known for its booming agriculture and vibrant architecture, Conis was a paradise that masked the dark undercurrents of its society. Zyphina, with her striking beauty and the rare ability to conceal her serpentine features, was considered one of the most beautiful women in her homeland. Her appearance, a blend of human allure and subtle Yuan-ti traits, included piercing emerald eyes, a cascade of raven-black hair, and a lithe, graceful form that belied her true nature. She often adorned herself in flowing robes that shimmered like the ocean, further masking her true heritage.

Unbeknownst to her, Zyphina made a pact with Dendar, the Night Serpent, a malevolent entity that became her patron. This pact plunged her into a life of dark magic and questionable deeds, leading her to commit heinous crimes that forced her to flee Conis. Seeking refuge, she found herself in the rugged nation of Signia, a land founded by warriors fleeing their own pasts. In Signia, Zyphina attempted to start anew, hiding her past and her true identity. She walked a fine line between what society deemed good and evil, her actions often driven by the necessity to survive and the whispers of Dendar.

Zyphina's unique quirk was her mesmerizing voice, which could lull even the most vigilant into a trance. This ability, coupled with her intelligence and cunning, allowed her to navigate the treacherous waters of Signian society. Yet, her past haunted her, and the fear of exposure constantly threatened her fragile new life. Her motivations were complex; she sought redemption and a place to belong, yet the dark pact she had unwittingly made pulled her towards chaos and destruction.

As Zyphina struggled to balance her desires for a new beginning with the sinister demands of her patron, she found herself embroiled in conflicts both internal and external. Her journey was one of survival, deception, and the eternal struggle between her human aspirations and the serpentine darkness that lurked within her soul.
