NaethynelNaethynel is a Yuan-Ti halfblood, put in a strange position of never fitting with his people but truly never fitting with the rest of the world. Despite having inherited strong reptile features, it was always said that his blood was too weak, too human. His thoughts were too different from the cold, predatory minds of the snakes.
He departed his home in time.
Naethynel started his career as a tattoo artist in a city of humans. He might've accidentally adopted several children from the streets just to give them a place to sleep. He might've accidentally fallen in love.
Northern winters don't suit the Yuan-Ti. Painted Scales is open for business only during summer months. For the rest of the year someone hangs a sign above the door that reads "Beware: don't wake up giant snake!" It's offered a few giggles.

More NPC art!!! This one's not as pristine but I like it! Naethynel is an absolute saint ♡ Also, Yuan-Ti are such an underappreciated race, there's so much nuance and intrigue in their culture! They deserve more love!
