Mamba is my "snake form"; a naga sorceress with dark powers who specializes in research and mysticism. She is a dominant character with a determined mind, very focused on her goals which always comes first hand.

She was formed from when I was playing D&D as Valcyrie and learned polymorph. I gave myself a more "snake-y" behaviour while being polymorhped and because my scales are black and my belly grey, I felt that I would be rather close to a black mamba snake. However I really adored the "hood" and the absolute badass look of my favourite snake, the cobra. So for her design, I merged the long, slender body of the black mamba with the regal presence and might of a cobra, added some humanoid features and boom, there she was~ Her look combined with being a spellcaster gave me the idea of giving her a celtic knot as a pattern. That gave her a "mystic" feel and together with the cobra thing and me being a dragon originally made me think of Apep, and thus I decided to give her a egyptian theme.

Thank you very much to my dear friend and artist Rendrassa ( https://www.furaffinity.net/user/lovesremorse ) who made Mamba come alive :-) She created this from nothing but my descriptions and a few on-the-spot sketches. She's a wonderful artist to work with when it comes to details and getting your ref right :3
