Description Name: Lamia
Pseudonym: Silence in the Night, Devourer of Children, Goddess of Pain, Ender of Life, Guardian of the Tomb, and many more
Style: Unknown
Age: Unknown, believed to be at least 4000 years.
Blood type: Unknown. She's also never been observed to bleed.
Weapon: Powerful magic, razor-sharp nails, unnatural strength

Likes: Beautiful things, art, magic, ' pets'
Dislikes: The briefness of mortal lives, loneliness, being imprisoned

Background: Lamia has been hidden away in the Tomb of the Ancients for millennia. Legends speak of crimes so heinous that only eternal imprisonment could even begin to punish them, of the devouring of children, murders, and a wake of terror left behind her in the time before her judgement. All that is known is that she remains in the Tomb, using her prodigious magical talents to maintain the network of devious traps that keep intruders out of the innermost halls. Nobody knows what she's guarding, and nobody who enters the Tomb has ever remained free for long.
She's bound to her catacombs, and is only capable of leaving for short periods of time. She usually only comes out to chase down people who get partway into the Tomb and then leave.

And yes, her hair is capable of changing length. It usually does so depending on her mood. It also has a tendancy to be blown around by breezes that aren't there, or perhaps aren't there any more, or might be there... magic leaves its mark.

lol, if you say so, but in my book some one who puts girls in bondage, and turns them into slaves through magic means because they were sealed in a tomb and need people to get them things is a tiny bit evil ^^

Slaves? They're offered the chance at immortality in exchange for a bit of service! Fair trade, maybe?

This sounds like the story of an actual Lamia creature from mythology.
