"Want to come in," the first dragon said, "and see my hoard of gold?"
"You still sleep on gold?" said the other.

"Ooh!"

Lin-Fa is a wise, compassionate dracophidian (think "like a dragon, but a snake") who belongs to the Cupid division of the Cosmos Corps. Cupid are the Corps' medics and therapists, and Lin-Fa is one of the latter. She is a calm listener and good at coming up with stories that resonate with others, and is a trusted advisor to anyone not afraid of snakes large enough to eat an adult human whole.

She technically doesn't eat meat, although she has subtle magical powers related to perceiving mental landscapes and hunting down harmful illusions, and this is how she sustains herself. dragon.style/media/yWemEEc-BAY
