You can do that in Gamma World too. Dabbers have been around since GWv2.I have too much lore around goblins to steal it, but now I want to have a sentient raccoon race in my setting.

So, a pureblood Yuan-Ti working in a city post-Yuan-Ti invasion...
I hope she has a backup character...
There's lots of real-world history that could be mined for inspiration about this sort of story. In the US, for example, there was the anti-German hysteria during WWI, the Japanese internment during WWII, and the Red Scare, to name a few obvious examples...
Are you actually comparing Japanese people to inhuman snake-eyed monsters, and don't think that is problematic?
I just went through this Sunday. Running a game where Yuan-Ti have been an issue. Players wants Yuan-Ti Pureblood PC. I told her, "I won't make an issue of the PC race... until I do. But when I do, you'll feel it." She said "Okay!"

1) I seriously question why you didn't bring this up at all before she made her character.There's lots of real-world history that could be mined for inspiration about this sort of story. In the US, for example, there was the anti-German hysteria during WWI, the Japanese internment during WWII, and the Red Scare, to name a few obvious examples. Reactions might depend on the character's social class along with her own political leanings. If she's opposed to the expansionist aims of the Yuan-Ti, then she might be tapped as a source of information or recruited as a spy. If she supports the Yuan-Ti, then maybe she is a spy for them (whether informally or formally, à la The Americans). There may be a network of other Yuan-Ti attempting to lay low until the xenophobia settles down. They might have safe houses and sympathetic NPCs who will do business with them without asking too many questions.
Plenty of adventure can come out of a character background like this. It need not lead to the character's demise.
Though it need not lead to the character's demise, its expected lifespan will largely be determined by how the other PCs react to its presence in and around the party, and how willing they are to defend the Yuan-Ti PC then and later.Plenty of adventure can come out of a character background like this.
