The Tserisa portrayed in role-plays differs slightly from the real Tserisa, mostly to make stories more interesting. Think of her as a fictionalized version of a real person. Although Tser doesn't RP often, she very occassionally joins in on the Gryphon's Guild RP boards, and often allows other people to use her as a character in stories, with permission. She's shown up in several Guild fics by Crystal "Phoenix" Shekeira, and Gravis, as well as stories elsewhere.
Character Special Abilities, Weaknesses and Other Notes:
Tser is fireproof. She is impervious to heat, and can withstand fire and even swim in lava.
Tserisa is a vegetarian/herbivore.
She hates swimming and getting wet in standing water (lakes, pools, etc.), but she loves rain, storms, and thunder. During thunder and lightning storms, Tserisa usually wants to be flying out in it.
Tserisa can breathe fire.
She has no magical ability and is not telepathic.
Tserisa's natural habitat is temperate rainforest (cool, wet, green). Dry and hot places are very uncomfortable to her, although she finds natural beauty everywhere.
Unique to Tser are her tears; they are rolling drops of flame until they lose contact with her scales, when they cool and harden into a rare, iridescent crystal called lachrydrakonite.
For humorous, silly and insane RPs and stories only, or comic relief:
Tserisa has an additional breath weapon -- nontoxic citrus-scented mosquito repellant (with aloe!).
She is very distracted by shinies. Shiny things (such as anything silver, pretty crystals or rocks, a well cared-for sword, large amounts of ice, anything iridescent, even a sparkling lake at sunset...) may cause her to go into a Shiny-Pretty Induced Trance. She will gravitate towards such objects just to stare at them. Gold, brass and other "yellow" metals, on the other hand, have no such effect.
