Hey everyone,

I'd like to introduce you to Sereath, a unique lamia creature that will be a minor bit player in my AU.

She is a friendly, if rather disconcerting presence for many citizens of Equestria, but ultimately she owes a debt of gratitude for the one who discovered her and managed to, (quite accidentally,) wake her from millennia of slumber after she was banished from the overworld- cast into the darkest reaches of Equis by an unnamed sorcerer on mere suspicion that she was up to no good.

You know, her being an enormous mutant abomination, and all that- you can kinda see why he did that. That and the fangs and cute, but hissing speech.

However, this giant danger noodle just doesn't understand that ponies find her scary, and she has no idea of even the very concept of personal space. She's just a simple, loving creature that wants to spread affection in the only way she knows how.

She is an amazing hugger, I'll have you know!
