Anna Conda: The Bride of Smoke and Blood

“You warmed a snake on your bosom… and now it warms you.” -Anna Conda Anna Conda is a modern embodiment of the lamia mythos—a serpentine seductress descended from the ancient Greek horror-folklore. Like her predecessors in classical tales, she possesses the allure of a courtesan and the hunger of a predator. Her ancestry reaches back to the vampiric lamiae described in Life of Apollonius of Tyana, beings who took on the form of beautiful women to prey upon the youth, draining their blood and consuming their hearts. But Anna is no phasma—she is the ophis. She doesn't merely disguise her nature; she embodies it proudly.
