Now, I realize I have two quests now, under the name of Tyven, and this is because I have two different visions of the 'same' child. Until I reach my gold goal, I won't know which animal I shall be going for. I might get a stoat another time, but I KNOW Indigo Snake is the DNA I NEED to have. Hahaha. You all love it too.

-Tyven: A Bemusing Kind of Predator-
Name: Tyven
Gender: Female
Animal: Indigo Snake [Drymarchon corais]
Hairstyle: Like this, Very sleek, and rather androgynous, since boys and girls can wear this style.
HairColour: A rich purple, brighter than her black/purple scales, but still a deep color. Darker at the roots, like her scale color, but slowly lightens to about This Shade. One small section, a part of her bangs, should lighten from dark purple, to white, like her skin.
Skin color/Texture: She should have dark scales that look almost black, except where they catch the light and reveal themselves to be an attractive purple. Strangely, she is not as snake anthro as say, Terpsichore, and has not only legs, but strange, pale, smooth skin that sheds as her scales do. There should be a small spattering of scales on one cheek, down her jaw and neck, on her shoulders and collarbone. Then reappear from the tip of her fingers to the ends and along the back of the hand, leaving a flesh palm, to her elbow. Her feet should be entirely covered, up to her knees. She should also have some scales on her abdomon, such as around her belly button, and a mirroring amount on her back. Scale Color and Skin Color.
Clothing: Nothing.
Personality: Although snarky at times, and rather solitary, she's also very, very charming. The girl is a trickster, like most of her kind, but also a vicious predator. Humorlessly calculating, is another phrase that comes to mind. She loves to steal, and is addicted to collected baubles and shiny objects. She seems very accepting, but if she feels slighted, she won't hesitate to strike out, physically, even at the danger of harming herself. Fearless of battle, and willing to take out fellow predators for her own gain. Darker in natture than most small children.
Markings: On her lips, which should be white, there should be a purple mark to match her scales, along with almost eyeliner like designs in deep purple under her eyes.
Eye color: Purple! :B A light, pale, lavenderish shade. Very bright, almost glowing.
Eye style: Slanted, and rather almond shaped, half-closed as if drowsy or amused. Feminine. Slit-pupil, naturally.
Pose: Since she won't be wearing any clothes, perhaps standing with one hand held over her lower regions, but not in a shy way, almost as if she's doing the bidding of someone telling her to cover herself. Looking to the side at that person, head tilted. Maybe tongue out? Perhaps her other hand running through her hair, and lighting up some of her shiny scales. Sweet.
Extra: Don't make her look too anthro, please. Tyven doesn't have a snout or anything. Her fingernails and toenails should be black, and slightly clawed. She's a gorgeous child, just like her animal, which are prized as pets, although endagered, for their attractive looks and color. Also, tongue is black, and forked, like a snake. Hurhur.
Suggested Abilities: Immunity to Poison/Venom; Beserker Strength

THE DNA
I couldn't find a picture of the snake showing it's purple, but it's a fact that they are indeed the shade I would like Tyven, it's simply rare.
Name: Indigo Snake/Drymarchon corais [It gets its name from the glossy irridescent blackish-purple sheen it displays in bright light].
Size: The longest snake in North America, with the longest recorded specimen measuring 9.2 feet (2.8m) long. However, not near the heaviest of snakes.
Dietary Habits: Carnivorous, will eat any other animal it can overpower. Its diet has been known to include other snakes, including venomous ones (ophiophagy), as it is immune to the venom. They do not kill their prey by constriction, but swallow their prey alive. Common foods include: other snakes (including venomous species), frogs, small mammals, birds, and fish. Even... Canned sardines, and other food not the norm of a snake.
Skills: Extremely strong snakes, known to kill its prey by wildly beating it against nearby objects or simply bashing them with their own bodies.
Habits/Behavior: Indigo snakes are active snakes that spend a great deal of time foraging for food and mates. It often will cohabit with small animals in their underground burrows, which don't seem to mind the intrusion. They are one of the few truly diurnal snake species, meaning that they are active during the day and rest at night. They do not kill their prey by constriction, but swallow their prey alive after subduing it. These snakes live in a variety of habitats, but prefer vast homes. Extremely docile when not hunting, they are laid back, easily trainable snakes, although when fighting, are known to not give up, even at the danger of hurting themselves.
Reproduction: In late spring, female indigo snakes lay about 5-12 large eggs in an underground burrow or other cavity. The snake eggs hatch in about three months into patterned hatchlings. These 1-foot babies grow rapidly and may reach adult size in two to three years.

Sidenotes
Possible Dragons: This is all speculation, since I know little about the types, but.... As you can see, all of these dragons are either Neutral or Evil aligned, so it might be best to go with Lindworm, simply to minimize Tyven's... Darker behaviors. Also, she'd be pretty pissed it it didn't match her purple/black and white colors, since she's rather... Pleased by the superficial at times.
Lindworm: Awesome, because the love the heat, chokes their enemies to death, and thrives in deserts, moutains, and forests, places that Tyven is suited to.
Red: I would say it's a good choice, considering environment, heat preferences, and fighting style, however, they do not like theives, and therefore, could never match with Tyven.
Green: I say Green would be a better choice than say, Red, mainly because it has a lot in common with Tyven, such as a love of power and treasure, yet it could stop her from hurting herself, with it's habit of assessing a battle before rushing in.
Blue: Just as good a choice as Green, only with the added bonus of liking the same heated environment.
Wyvern: Naturally, because I do believe they're poisonous, and she's rather immune to such a thing. However, I'm not sure it's the best choice.

Plots
Well, consideringTyven was the result of an experiment taken a step too far. Seeking to make a rather violent fighting D-corp, the lab tech took Indigo Snake DNA, and tried to give it human legs, having the tail split into two. Whereas this worked, it unfortunately minimized some of the animal characteristics within the child, and she ended up with a few more human attributes than expected.
So, now to find a caretaker that wouldn't mind the possessiveness, violent tendancies, and odd appearance.
Enter Nijemi Reever, a person D-corp would only find out about when seeking out ways to blackmail Rapier, the guardian of Cleo. Rapier is an ex-slaver with a dark past, and not-so-nice behavior, yet Jem, with her sparkling cheerfulness, doesn't seem to mind. Seems to calm Rapier.
Jem needs no threats to arrive at D-corp, rather, her curiousity would pull her there at the mention of the place. And unlike a lot of people, she finds dangerous things with fangs adorable. Not to mention purple is her favorite color.
Plus, a creature like Tyven might to well with a more helpless sister, and two parents. Spending her time protecting Cleo would stop her from senselessly fighting.
The experiment already took place for this girl, now they're just trying to deal with the result.

How Jem Gets Tyven
Pulling a jacket from her knapsack and slipping it onto tan, bare shoulders, Jem adjusted from the dry heat of her home-dimension, to the brisk, autumn chill of this one. As she pulled the cord strings to tighten the bag's opening, and shut it, her mismatched eyes, one blind and silver, the older a vibrant green, scanned the alleyway. Deserted. She was getting better at dimension skips, considering. Her ridiculously charming grin in place, she fit her ipod's buds into her ears before hanging her knapsack over one shoulder and walking out onto the main street, only to find...
A man in a labcoat, arms crossed in front of his chest, an envelope clentched in one hand, the expession on his face... He'd been waiting for her. Poopykins. She swallowed her fear to glanced around, noting that the only thing to be seen was a white van. Was he here to kidnap her? Jem could take him, he was pretty scrawny, but... His eyes narrowed, as if knowing her thoughts, and the van door slid open, another labcoat jumping out. The only sound as she finally approached them, was her thundering music, loud enough to make her deaf by thirty.
"MAKE A SEASONED PASS, TO MOUNT THAT a**, AND BOB HOPE THAT I MIGHT ONE NIGHT STAND A CHANGE. LET'S GO FENG SHUI THE ******** AROUND MY DIGS LIKE A SUPERBALL, BRING THAT SUNNY SIDE UP, AND..."
The 5'2" redhead flashed the labcoat her charming grin, while her eyes quickly assessed him. No visible weapon, strange name tag. What sort of parent gave their child a number for a name? Still, the second one was stranger, with a bag on his head, and a tag that read "182". He jerked his head toward the van, and spoke to the first labcoat, as if explaining himself.
"Toblf cju nf. J cfu uif cptt jt uszjoh up ljmm nf, ps nbzcf ju xbt bopuifs mbcufdi..."
Riiiight. As the man lifted an arm to reveal two bloody puncture wounds, her brows shot sky high, disappearing into long bangs. The first man ignored his companion, and held out the envelope, an almost malicious smile on his face.
"Miss Reever."
Unsure of what to do, she forced a bored expression, and tore open the side envelope, something that generally irritated Rapier, and flicked the letter open, quickly reading it.
"Ya gotta be smokin' some major crack, buddy. ******** no, Jemi don't want no baby."
Get a kid from some lab? Oh hell no. Rapier wouldn't talk to her for a MONTH! The truth was, she actually had no idea where her girlfriend had gotten Cleo from, and hadn't asked, simply because she didn't care. In this dimension, Jem seemed to be at least nineteen, however, in her home dimension, and in years, she was only sixteen, and spent a lot of time dimesion skipping so she could finish her senior year of highschool.
"Toddler, actually... But you may want to reconsider. D-corp... Well, we wouldn't want to let anything slip to the authorities."
Wait, what? Authorities? As in, the five-oh? Looking skeptical, she figured he was bluffing, and scowled up at him, not at all intimidating, and instead rather endearing.
"Let what slip? You ain't got nothin' on me. Best back up off'n me, cuz I gotta get to 'Pier's house, she's expectin' me."
But his smile only widened, and he shared a look with 182, shaking his head slowly.
"Ah, Rapier... It was through her that we found you, actually. You see, when we were investigating her, we noticed that you were in residence at her home part time, and decided to background check you, only... There didn't seem to be any files. How interesting. Still, we set a small team to track you, while also cross-referencing results for 'Reever' until we found a family of three sisters, with red hair, whom... Were missing a younger sister. Nijemi. Who was being raised somewhere with their aunt. Hmm. According to the records of the missing baby... She would be... Sixteen. That would make her, You, Miss Reever, a minor. Are you not in a sexual relationship with Miss ? That would be... Dare I say it? Illegal, wouldn't it?"
Despite her tan skin, Jem looked rather pale, scared, and very young. There was a long silence, as she simply stared up at the man, horrified, then... Her face darkened in anger, and her small fist... Flew for his stomach. Obviously not expecting that physical of a reaction from such a harmless looking creature, The labtech's eyes widened, and he made an 'ooomf!' noise, retreating a few paces, as the short young woman glared at ******** you! If I hurt ya bad enough, I betcha won't tell NO ONE."
If it had just been JEM, maybe she would have been more docile, but she wasn't about to let them haul Rapier off to jail, for something she hadn't even known about until recently. 182 stepped forward, and both technicians now seemed wary of her, but the first pulled out a phone.
"D-corp is speed-dial one, Miss Reever. If you refuse again to go along with our demands... Your Rapier will be arrested within minutes."
Which was a lie, but Jem didn't know that. They weren't about to try to rehome Cleo. The techs could be lazy at times, and probably thought it was funny that the hyper child was with a serious woman like Rapier. Breathing hard, the girl forced herself to unclentch her fists, and tore her ipod buds from her ears, shoving the whole mess of wires and hardware into the backpocket of faded, paintsplattered jeans.
"... Fine."
The girl tried desperately to get away with one last thing... Perhaps Rapier could help her come up with a way to weasel out of this if she got home to her...
"But I can't get to D-corp right now, Rapier will freak out, and-"
She was cut off by the labtech, who looked incredibly smug.
"Ah, Miss Reever, we at D-corp seek to accommidate our clientle. We've brought the child to you."
Three pairs of eyes slid over to the van, and 182 scooted away from it, as if unwilling to remove the d-corp, and give it to Jem. Looking highly irritated, the first one tore open the door of the van, and reached in, turning to face her with something curled in his arms. White and purple, and in the fetal position, trying to hide away from the cold of the air. Obviously, the van had been a lot warmer, with the heater probably on. Jem automatically felt the urge to cover the nude critter with her jacket, or something, and scowled at the carelessness of the men.
"Indigo Snake. She was a mistake. Figured you'd do well with her, Miss Reever, considering your perchant for accidents and dangerous beings."
182 flinched when the small toddler lifted her head, and... Hissed at him, black tongue snaking out, as her eyelids slid open, revealing a pale, lavender gaze.
"Awww..."
Jem couldn't help it, and turned pink at the incredulous looks both men gave her, before removing her jacket, and taking the child with a scowl, wrapping the girl in it. At the sudden warmth, the toddler looked more lively, and her tiny, black-clawed hands came up to grip Jem's shoulders. Another flick of the tongue 'scented' the teenager, and apparently found her worthy, a satisfied noise rumbling in her throat. The redhead, not wanting to feel completely defeated, shot a glare at the labtechs.
"I'm takin' 'er. But the second I'm able to hurt you? Don't doubt that I will. That underage thing only works for so long, assholes."
Walking away from them, she paused to throw a very Jem-esque comment over her shoulder, before turning the corner. She figured they'd go back to where ever they'd come from soon enough.
"And I'm telling on you."
Rapier was gonna be pissed, but at least Cleo had someone to play with now...

MAJOR THANKS TO KANTH, AND NOZZY.
Kanth: Gave me her share of every Fables auction we held in the last month or so, and provided the majority of my funds. Also gave me her own gold, straight up.
Nozzy: Gave me the idea to quest for Tyven, and the 97k I needed for the home stretch, so I could get my quest completed in time for my birthday!
