daydream hour: [name] [lastname], the beautiful serpent
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
disclaimer: same as the first daydream hour, this isn't necessarily how [name] looks like, but you're free to imagine her this way too!
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━
this daydream hour may not contain that much stories/scenario, but there are a few arts and stuff. these are just nerdy rambles about the character i created in this story and some fun facts abt her :3 this is also for the readers who are genuinely curious about some lore about her and the world building i'm doing/adding to the existing dimension that dungeon meshi already exists in.
━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

another concept art of [name], because i wanted to try and make other versions of her! ^^ more versions of her coming soon once i get inspo :3

this is how i imagine her size is compared to the others. this is just laios here but if you compare laios' height to the others, i guess you can imagine the difference because i'm too lazy to draw everyone lol

i also tried drawing her hands, which are literally my worst enemy when it comes to art in general ;-; i didn't use a reference so i could get used to drawing them from my own memory. the thumbs look stupid im sorry-

i think about snake mouths a lot and how cool it is when applied to human hybrid designs. i learned that a snake's mouth can open widely at about 150 degree angle so you can probably imagine how big [name]'s mouth is when she opens it in her current form. i can also imagine [name]'s fangs being venomous and deadly because the couatl she's fused with is part of the albino cobra family.

laios can be a little strange when it comes to monsters, we all know that. and hey, we gotta love him for it you know? he's a little bit curious on how snakes taste, so sometimes he wonders how [name]'s tail would taste. marcille and chilchuck will definitely tie him up and chain him on the ceiling in one of the rooms in the dungeon if they hear him say it out loud.

★ what does [name] think about [insert topic]? ★

★—about her eggs:

✰— feeling rather neglected from her childhood, [name] takes care of her eggs very well, not wanting them to get the same treatment. while a nest is enough of a warmth source for her eggs, she still feels the need to coddle the eggs and make them feel safe by sitting on top of them, keeping them hidden under her tail pile. she's really looking forward for the day that they hatch, excited to have children of her own.

✰— [name] is very protective of her eggs. there are only a few select people who can touch them and it's the touden party. while senshi is a new face, she can sense that he has no bad intentions and therefore trusts him with her children.

✰— she thinks laios knows how to handle her eggs pretty well. [name] is aware that he's very knowledgeable about certain things that has something to do with monsters and animals, after all. marcille is very gentle with the eggs and also seems to be quite overprotective of them as well, so she knows they're in great hands with her. chilchuck is neutral, while he doesn't really touch them that much, he does keep watch from time to time when everyone else needs to rest.

★ in general, [name] can rest easy knowing that people she has put her trust in are looking after her eggs. her eggs are a very special part of her, despite only having them for a few days. the soul of the monster fused with her influenced this greatly. ★

★—about childhood hobbies:

✰—she could vaguely remember herself in her childhood having a certain obsession with catching animals in the wild. while [name] forgot everything else and could barely remember anything from when she was a child, she did manage to keep a few core memories.

✰—while she wasn't allowed outside because of her mother's very strict nature, she is allowed to hang around the backyard of their small house, where she would grow her fascination with small critters by watching them skitter around all day. [name] would then grow curious, wondering if she could set up traps and catch them.

✰—one day, she stole a piece of bread from the kitchen and sets a few crumbs down on the ground, watching as birds flew over and snacked on them. her curiosity grows, and she learn how to set up small little traps, failing multiple times. tying a string on a stick that was holding a wooden box up, she would then hide behind a tree and wait for animals to walk up to her little trap.

★ she once caught a little eurasian tree sparrow, or a maya bird as her mother likes to call them. she releases everything that she catches back in the wild right away, the only thing that she was interested in was the process of using a trap. ★

★—about laios: ▼・ᴥ・▼

✰—"it feels genuine when i am with him. while i do not understand half the things he says, i do try to. a very interesting person, indeed."

✰—[name] likes laios for his uniqueness. while it is true that everyone is unique, laios was just... different. she doesn't have a word for it, but she knows that she's enjoying her time with him.

✰—laios can "cheer" her up. well, if she was capable of showing joy in the first place. all you have to know is that laios knows how to make her happy, even if it's not obvious.

✰—the moment laios saved her from those wolves, [name] already knew he's just no ordinary tall-man. she's very wary of tall-man or any races that are taller and bigger than her for personal reasons, but she feels at ease around laios, and that means quite a lot, more than you would expect it to be. [name] also has this strange admiration for laios for his unique and impressive skills on dog impersonation. she thinks it's pretty cool, and would also like to learn it in case of an emergency. (more likely a situation similar to when they first met, where she's surrounded by wolves)

✰—[name] stays quiet most of the time, unless she really has to speak. she appreciates it when laios starts rambling about monster stuff, because not only does she get info about how to harvest materials she'll need for her recipes, but it's also similar to listening to her very own personal ted talk show. laios really is an interesting specimen for her.

✰—laios either doesn't realise it, or is just too embarrassed to acknowledge it, but that ring is not just for friendship if you know what i mean. *wink wink*

★ while their relationship is not clear, with some people seeing them as either friends, secret lovers, or even an unlabeled relationship, laios and [name] doesn't really care that much. they're both genuine to each other, no matter what their status is. ★

★—about marcille: (ᗒᗣᗕ)՞

✰—"very strict, she tends to scold me a lot. i adore her, though. she always takes care of my reckless self."

✰—[name] met marcille at the magic school that was owned by an elderly gnome that took her under her wing after the incident with the ship she boarded. she was cautious of marcille at first, seeing a fellow elf for the first time in a while. she held a grudge against elves, stranger or not, despite being one herself.

✰—they would often get partnered up during activities, since the head mage wanted [name] to have friends and to also participate in school activities. one, because the head mage wants her to officially become student of the school and get a job in the future, wanting her to get a great life of her own, and two, because [name] simply just refused to befriend anyone.

✰—her reputation threw marcille off the first time, and she was wary of the girl. she often got scolded for causing trouble, after all. lighting or blowing up the alchemy room, stealing ancient relics from the library to use bits of them as ingredients for her potions, and even going as far as flat out rejecting traditional magic that was taught to every student that wants to become a professional mage, something that no ordinary person can't do. it takes talent and skill to become a mage, and marcille thinks that [name] is wasting her talent by not practicing real magic.

✰—overtime though, marcille warmed up to [name], especially after that one incident . [name] accidentally exploded the wall of her room, and her room just so happens to be right next to marcille's. she did a lot of damage to marcille's room, and the elf girl finally snaps. she expressed how annoyed and irritated she is by [name]'s carelessness, and wished she thinks more about how her actions would affect people around her.

✰—marcille's negative view of her didn't last long however, as she comes to discover that the one who fixed her room and even the whole WALL was not the school, but [name] herself. she found out through the head mage, who expressed how proud she is to see that [name] has finally shown growth in her attitude.

★ they became best friends after that, and marcille developed a habit of basically babysitting her, after finding out from the head mage that [name] never takes care of herself. ★

★—about chilchuck: ( ͠° ͟ʖ ͡°)

✰—"he sounds like my mother sometimes. is that a strange perception? well, he acts like her. it leaves a bittersweet taste in my mouth, but i do not think chilchuck is a bd person."

✰—[name] knew chilchuck didn't like her at all when they first met. the moment that falin announced that she and marcille joined the party, the first thing she heard from him was a doubtful sigh. that was enough to tell that her relationship with him is gonna be a bumpy one. he's also not shy about it. if you ask him how he feels about the new members, he'll give you his full honesty. he didn't bash them badly though, so at least that's good. it didn't take long for him to recognise her and marcille as their newest member though, he's a softie when he wants to be. all [name] had to do was win a drinking challenge with the half-foot, and that's when she won him over.

✰—when it comes to scolding [name], chilchuck is quite good at it. in situations [name] almost killed herself, chilchuck is there to give her a reality check that marcille isn't capable of. he just has that dad spirit in him, the same one where he'll probably looks at you like you've murdered someone for not holding the flashlight properly when he's doing mechanic work. what chilchuck is not good at however, is avoiding [name]'s constant teasing. she'll just randomly pick him up like a cat and put him inside her cauldron, much to his annoyance.

★ chilchuck found out she's been secretly plucking some of his hair one time for her brewing recipe, and as payback he braided her hair into pretzel styles, much to her dismay. (she hates sitting around for longer than 10 minutes, not doing what she has to do which is her typical alchemy stuff) ★

★ —about senshi: ʕ⁠ ⁠º⁠ ⁠ᴥ⁠ ⁠º⁠ʔ

✰—"nom nom. good food." -in [name]'s thoughts as a lamia.

✰—senshi is certainly a new face in the party for [name]. everyone and everything is blurry in her mind, and if it weren't for the lingering memories in her head, then she would've gotten rid of laios and the rest without hesitation. while she does not recognise senshi anywhere, the dwarf made it known that she was no threat to her or her children. in all honesty, [name] thought he was dangerous at first. during the first confrontation against the touden party where she was overtaken by the urge to protect her eggs at all cost and barely recognised her friends, senshi was attacking her relentlessly- which she mistook for him genuinely wanting to kill her, not knowing that it was part of their plan to calm her down.

✰—senshi makes delicious food, and while she can't really eat much because of the small portions, the group makes an effort to share their food with her, just so she could have something good to eat as well. she was starting to feel grateful towards marcille for not letting her lose taste or have taste buds problems by constantly feeding her, because without that, she wouldn't be able to taste the tasty meals senshi makes.

✰—she still wouldn't eat that damn necklace centipede or whatever the hell that was. the sorbet made from the crown bug was probably the best and her favourite, simply because of the sweet crystals. her dreams finally came true, and she has now consumed legitimately edible crystals, and it's all thanks to senshi.

★ senshi is the father she never had. his beard smells a little weird though, but he's still amazing. ★

♥︎—about romance:

♡︎—"i... had a lover once."

♡︎ [name] didn't want to talk about it much. ♡︎
