Background
Medusa ruled the Snake People from their Holy City in the Tagor Desert. Bitter over human persecution and the capture of Snake People, she initially intended to lead her people into human territory once she reached Dou Ancestor. Her goal was instead redirected toward relocation and rebuilding the tribe beyond the desert. 50 59 64
As queen, she risked her life to obtain the Green Lotus Core Flame, swimming through underground magma despite the Snake People's innate fear of fire. The attempt left violent fire poison within her body, but she regarded such sacrifices as her responsibility to the Snake People. 52
She encountered Ye Tian while investigating reports of a young human in the desert. Initially attempting to seize him, she brought him to the Holy City and withheld the Sand Mandara he sought to ensure his help with her evolution. 48 50
Appearance
Medusa is an exceptionally beautiful Snake Person woman whose regal bearing and intimidating power draw immediate attention.
- Usually wears a crown and red veil or red dress as Snake People queen. 48 59
- Has an alluring figure, snake-like waist, and a cold, commanding presence. 50
- Can take the form of a small Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python or a giant serpent several dozen meters long. 55 59
- Her original true form before evolution was the Purple Nether Flame Snake, approximately thirty meters long. 54
- Later disguises herself in a purple long dress to avoid recognition. 87
Personality
Medusa is proud, domineering, and fiercely protective of both her people and Ye Tian. She does not tolerate challenges to her authority, openly dismissing Gu He's offer for the Heavenly Flame and rebuking the Snake People elders when they question Ye Tian or Little Cai. 53 268
Her harshness is rooted in responsibility and past hardship. She sees strength as necessary for survival, having endured the danger of the Green Lotus Core Flame to secure a future for her race. The mistreatment of captured Snake People can provoke her into immediate violence. 52 62
Around Ye Tian, Medusa becomes possessive, jealous, and deeply devoted. Her original scheme to keep him in the Holy City develops into trust, affection, and an unwavering promise to accompany him through any danger. 50 67 86

Story Role / Major Arcs
Encounter in the Tagor Desert
