It felt a bit off adding all the non-mechanical stuff to the <a href="https://www.enworld.org/index.php?posts/6927246/" target="_blank">Sheneya Original Stats</a> post. BackgroundSheneya’s parents, Jandi and Alleya, were entertainers who  traveled the sands of Zakhara in search of adventure and gold. Theirs  was a stormy relationship, and they were known to quarrel loudly with  some regularity.During their travels, the couple met a mysterious  nomad who offered them magical secrets for charming snakes. He gave his  name as Hister but would say nothing of his past. Hister was, in fact,  an agent of the almost mythical Grand Snakemaster (See “Snakes” in the  MONSTROUS MANUAL tome), who had taken the guise of a man. In exchange  for his secrets, Hister asked that Alleya bear his child. He explained  that he was growing old and wanted to leave the world some offspring.The  deal completed, the disguised serpent went on its way. Sheneya’s  parents made good use of the powers they had gained, and their act  became renown throughout the land. The couple’s fame and fortune—like  the child in Alleya’s womb, Sheneya—grew with each each passing month.When  the time came for Alleya to deliver, however, trouble arose. As the  entered labor, a terrible fever wracked her body. Minutes after Sheneya  was born, Alleya died.An examination of the body revealed that  Alleya had been poisoned. Knowing that the couple was prone to loud  arguments, the authorities grew suspicious. Investigating further, they  learned that the child was not Jandi’s. This, they thought, was  certainly motive enough for a man to attempt murder of both his wife and  a bastard child. They eventually beheaded Jandi for Alleya’s death,  although he protested his innocence to the last.As no one else  appeared to claim her, Sheneya was placed in the care of a man who  professed to be her uncle. Thus it was that she was reunited with the  sinister creature who had sired her. Hister explained to Sheneya that  she was a unique creature, one who would do the bidding of the Grand  Snakemaster in the world of men. In time, she would be rewarded for her  loyalty and efforts with power over men and serpents alike.Current SketchSheneya  believes she has a great destiny to fulfill, although exactly what it  is she does not know. She is convinced, however, that one day both men  and serpents will be hers to command. Most of her life is now spent  researching ancient lore and learning secrets of mankind. She is  especially interested in human stories involving serpents in general and  the Grand Snakemaster in particular. When the day comes for that  creature’s plans come about, Sheneya intends to be ready.PersonalitySheneya  is a cold and cunning woman, utterly emotionless and without  compassion. She has no respect for life other than her own, and anyone  who crosses her is likely to wind up poisoned in the night. Although the  years have brought her a greater understanding of human society, she is  still uncomfortable when dealing with people. Most notice there is  something odd about her manner and speech.</blockquote>
