BACKGROUND[/i][/color]
Personality: Andromeda is a quite and secretive person, not letting anyone know of her past. She doesn't trust anyone at first sight and it is hard to gain her trust. She tends to sometimes get angry when someone questions her and she would rather be left alone. To humans, she is a cold and heartless person, but to snakes, she treats them as if they were her children, which got her quite the reputation. She also is very intelligent and can outsmart most people. She also has a strong will, which she got from her years of her father beating her and her mother.
Detailed History: Andromeda was born 25 years ago in Rohan to a mother who was a maid and a father who was a warrior. Her young life was a nightmare that she wished she could forget. Her father was abusive to her and her mother, but after he would beat them he would always make or buy them something, trying to buy their forgiveness. Sometimes he would beat Andromeda so hard that she would black-out, but those were only on rare occasions.
When Andromeda turned 14, her mother killed herself. She told Andromeda that she was tired of living and being beaten every day. Andromeda was angry that her mother took the easy way out of the situations and a few days later, her father made her the exotic and one of a kind weapon she uses today. It was when she turned 16, that her life began to change.
Her father got drunk and angry and he locked her outside. It was at this time when she began to grow a bond with snakes. She had been sleeping in the barn when she felt something running across her arm and over her neck. When she reached to brush it away, she was awoken by a hiss. She opened her eyes and was looking face to face with one of the most poisonous snakes in Middle-Earth. She held out her hand, ready for it to bite her and end her life, but the snake instead went into her hand and coiled around her arm. It was in this moment when she devised an evil plan.
Andromeda sneaked back into the house and walked to her father's room, with the snake still coiled around her arm. She opened the door and walked to the foot of the bed. She could see her father's sleeping form and she smiled, knowing that all the torture he put her threw would be over in a few seconds. She put her hand on the bed and the snake coiled off of her arm and onto the bed, moving towards her father. It was a few seconds later when her father awoke with a yelp and he jumped out of bed. Andromeda remembered smiling as she watching him as he held his throat as it closed up and he collapsed to the ground a few seconds later, dead. The snake also returned to her, crawling up her leg and back onto her arm.
Andromeda later left Rohan and began to wander Middle-Earth, her faithful snake staying with her in her adventures.
Fears: Her freedoms being taken away from her.

Dislikes: Men who try and control her.

Marks/Scars: None
Role play Sample:
Andromeda had been about a mile away, riding a dark brown horse on one of the more traveled roads. For some reason, she had seen no one else on this road today and she knew that something was wrong. You were a fool to continue on this path. Andromeda thought to herself as her left hand went to the snake that was wrapped around her arm as she stroked it gently. She had been friends with the creature since the day it killed her father, which was a day of freedom for both of them. She was able to leave Rohan and travel the world and keep her freedom, so that no man would ever harm her like her father did to both her mother and her.
Andromeda had been riding for awhile when she heard the sounds of hooves coming up from behind her. She took her snake and she let it crawl up the sleeve of her robe, hiding it. Andromeda glanced over her shoulder and saw five men riding on black horses, obviously going fast enough to catch up to her. She reached down to where she kept her staff that had two blades attached to both ends that her father gave her and she put her hand on it, making sure it was still there. It was more of a half staff, so it was just longer then a sword but light enough to make it a deadly tool with two sharp curved blades attached to each end.
When the five men caught up to her, they surrounded her and one of the men laughed. "Look what we got here, boys." He said as he pulled out his sword. "Such a pretty lil' thing, riding out here alone. If you were a man, I would only ask you for your money, but since your a woman... I will want more." He said as she looked at him. "Touch me and you will regret it." She said softly as the men laughed. "You are in no position to threaten us, woman." He yelled as he went in to grab her, but she hit his arm away and it was enough to knock him off balance and she took off on her horse, the men following close behind her.
Andromeda turned her horse off the rode and began to ride towards a lake, hopefully she would be able to elude the men, but she doubted it. Their horses were obviously faster then her's when she heard one of them coming up on her right. She could see the lake ahead, only about a few hundred yards, but it seemed to be taking forever to get there. Suddenly, one of the bandits caught up to her and was able to cut the saddle from the horse and Andromeda fell off the horse and she slammed into the ground, rolling a couple of times before coming to a stop.
When Andromeda opened her eyes, the leader of the bandits was standing above her as he knelt down and leaned his face closer to her's. "You will give me what I want." He said as Andromeda felt something cold running up her arm and she knew that her snake was still alive. She could feel it climbing towards her neck and she smirked at the bandit. He leaned closer to her face and suddenly, his eyes widened in fear. Andromeda's snake had climbed up to her and neck and out of her robe and it hissed loudly before leaping from Andromeda and biting into the man's neck. The other bandits, who were on their horses, heard the commotion and began to dismount them. Andromeda held out her hand and the snake crawled back onto her as the man who got bitten crumpled to the ground, shaking as the deadly poison killed him.
Andromeda stood up and grabbed her weapon before she began to run towards the lake, the bandits running on foot closely behind her. Her snake wrapped around her arm protectively, in case any of the other bandits would try and touch her. After a few moments, she ran across the beach of the lake before running into the water, going about ankle deep. She turned around to face the bandits as they stopped before going into the cold water. "If you give up, I promise we wont kill you." One of the bandits said as he tried to walk closer to her, but backed up when he heard the hiss from her snake.
Andromeda glanced to her right and she saw someone on a horse and she smiled before looking at the bandits. She let out a blood-curdling scream, hoping to get the person attention so he could help her. One of the bandits ran and grabbed her throat and her snake lunched at him, bitting him on the wrist. The man screamed as the poison began to take effect and he collapsed into the water as her snake moved to go around her neck. Please hurry. Andromeda thought as she looked at the figure in the distance. For now, the bandits wouldn't try to go close to her, since her snake was still with her, but she knew that eventually they would just kill her, since that would be the easiest choice at this point.
