Uliva Valaresso
College: Morvidus
Familiar: Sasha the Cool Moonstone Snake
Uliva is obsessed with snakes, making Morvidus the ideal house for her. There aren’t many native species of snake on Mineta, so she spends a lot of her time in the bestiary trying to work with the imported species that the school keeps there. The snake is such an odd choice, though. It can’t really do anything other than eat things and slither around. No one really knows why she’s so fascinated with them, but sometimes you can catch her moving her body like a snake and hissing...
Her ultimate goal in life is to learn to transform into an animal herself so that she can spend her time as a serpent. It would also be nice to be able to speak to the snakes, but that hasn’t been proven to be possible yet. Ever since she can remember, she has been having dreams of serpents—if she could become one, she feels, she might finally understand the meaning of them.
Ability: Serpentine Study
Studying serpents has its benefits; close and careful study of her favorite type of animal has given Uliva boosts to her Animal Husbandry (+2), Amphibians (+2), Anatomy (+1), and (it's a long story) Cryptology (+1) Skills.
Clique Ability: Serpentine Tactics
With as much time as Uliva has spent around serpents, it’s unsurprising that some of their habits have rubbed off on her; members of her clique can learn from hanging out with Uliva and enjoy Increases to their Move Silently (+2) and Danger Sense (+1) Subskills.
