Aaaah it’s finally here! I’ve been working on htis ref sheet for a hot minute. I was veeeeery happy with how the main drawing came out!
Except that I couldn’t fit her necklace on XD Please don’t forget her necklace if you can fit it!
Melyssa is a character I first drew ages ago as just a one-off thing. a cobra hooded lamia hypnotising berry twist. Then everyone wanted a piece of her coils (I wonder why) and wanted to commission her. So I ended up making her a permenant character.
But she’s never really had a proper full ref sheet. just whatever I could throw together.
THIS HERE is the definitive, up-to-date, accurate reference sheet for Melyssa. You should defer to this one over all others.
You are welcome to draw Melyssa or write about her if you would like to.
Melyssa is a beautiful creature that has the upper body resembling a pony and a lower body of a serpentine form. Her long, smooth, shiny coils can easily wrap a pony up all the way! Or maybe even two or three. (they cna change size a little if she needs them too.)
She lives in an abandoned temple on the other side of the everfree forest, kinda in the middle of nowhere. (Not the castle of the two sisters, futher than that and a different direction I think probably. I dunno, one only ever seems to find Melyssa’s abode when they’re hopelessly lost!)
Melyssa LOVES the feeling of holding ponies in her coils and hugging them. She’ll capture ponies and cuddle with them all day. This sounds great, but she also sometimes eats ponies! so be careful.
She has a very powerful version of the same magic that the snakes in the Everfree forest do, which lets her dominate a pony’s mind and scramble their thoughts, putting them in a lovely, warm and relaxed state of complete freedom from their thoughts and worries. For the price of their complete obedience, of course~ But I hear it feels super nice to have the honour of being put under this beautiful lamia’s spell.
You just have to understand she’ll probably keep you for a while and play with you, maybe letting you think you’ve shaken off her power and can make an escape for it, only to find out she was playing snake & mouse with you the whole time.
