Personality:
Sweet and loving, but very protective of those she cares about. Apt to sleep most of the day when not playing around. Has a tendency to explore and spends most of her time that she isn't with Mao with her Vrael friends, Magic and Shade.

About Her:
She is Mao Wildmane's pet, and she is roughly the size of a medium sized parrot or squirrel. Between her tail and wings, she can sorta fly, though it's more like a sugar-glider's or flying squirrel's gliding flight then a full flight. In order to truly fly, she has to engage a bit of magic, and she can only fly like this for about five minutes. The four spikes on her head are normally soft and flexible, but when she gets protective over her friends or defensive over something, they harden and sharpen, they become like miniature knives. The outer edges of her tail fins also get very hard and sharp, turning it into a double-edged flat-dagger. When her spikes and tail are hardened, they are like diamonds, and they can cut through almost anything. Her claws are also very sharp all the time, and she has to be careful to keep them retracted.

About Her Name:
Her name was the first thing that came into my mind when I saw her, per the rules of the species. I believe that 'Vissa' came from my love of the Belgariad/Mallorean series. Issa is a god in the series whose totem is a snake. But who knows.

About Vrael:
Vrael are a species created by Mekattak (Weasyl). It is co-owned by Zaezar (FA/Weasyl). There are two rules of the Vrael - you cannot design your own, and you must name it the first thing that pops into your head. Only Mekattak and Zaezar may create Vrael for right now. The Vrael start life as an egg. After they hatch they grow. going through a hatchling stage before growing to full adult form and size. They can often sometimes develop a small magic talent.
