Physical Prowess / Natural Strengths: Nissu has beyond average sense of smell and hearing. She can hear critters crawling around within the ground (up to 4 ft down) and easily spot small prey while flying. As a prevalent digger she has a sense for weak areas or places that may fall in while digging or traversing caverns and caves.While digging she can also sense the tremors of other things within the ground or above, using them to navigate or find said things.

Description: Bright yellow eyes, the scales around them freckled with a hint of green. Nissu is an acid dragon, with a long serpent-like body and four short legs that keep her low to the ground. Her head, while shaped much like a large dog, is missing all of the fuzzy friendliness of one. Two spiraling bright green horns protruded out from where a dog’s ears might have been, and instead of a cute nose she had a longer snout with two sickly yellow fangs on either side that stick out even when her mouth is closed. Her long black body is like a shadow, at least ten feet long and barely a foot off the ground. The only thing keeping her from really disappearing in daytime shadows are the bright green upright bony plates that run down her back.

Special Markings: Bright green horns (like a ram) and bright green upright bony plates down her back (like a stegosaur), long whip-like tail

Wardrobe: None. Technically. She does occasionally order bags be made that she can wear stapped around her front where she may reach in to grab things.

Personality: Pretty chill. Kind of uptight morally. Believes in honesty first, and in not doing anything bad to sully one’s reputation and therefore also doing as much as possible to make one’s reputation positively glowing. She is eager to help out even when not asked because she wants to change public opinion about her kind.

Brief History: Nissu was a "chemist" making pesticides (or equivalent) with a "naturalist" acid dragon and delivering them to farmers outside of Dry Gulch. One day when they entered the town there had been a terrible accident, some people had been trampled by a runaway horse/wagon, and were gravely injured. Between herself and the other dragon they didn't know what to do. They did not possess healing powers and had no access to anyone that could help. When she returned home she started asking around. Of course dragons could heal quickly themselves and they could find ways to help other dragons but there was no "healing" for non-dragon beings, even though they found ways to help with overly acidic places in nature. So, she left home on the search for ways acid could help humans with medical purpose.

Family Tree:
Nissu does not know her family! She hatched by herself, large enough and strong enough to hunt and find things on her own.

Story so Far:
(Nov 2020) Nissu is in Sterilis, where she is helping a "grand archeologist" named Vajir find an end to his curse.
(Feb 2021) Nissu is in the Southern Forest where she seeks a "lady spider" to help her find cursed beings to learn more about curses (and maybe help Vajir)
