Age: 32

Gender: Female

Species: Non-Pony

Appearance: <p> Species: Amphisbaena<br /> In general, Taer & Raer have the look of a leopard covered in a loose coat of small scales of a jungle-like green-grey tint that resembles that of a coat of chain mail.<br /><br /> For those of you not familiar with mythology; an Amphisbaena is a double-ended creature not unlike that of the Pushmi-Pullyu of Doctor Doolittle fame. A living palindrome of sorts!<br /><br /> Raer & Taer each have their own ribcages, but where their hipbones would be attached their spine only continues on into another front end. Both have their respective sides have a pair of scaled paws that point forward in the direction of their heads. Though as Taer, the leopard head, is more muscular they favor to walking more in her direction.<br /><br /> In opposition to Taer being the stronger half, Raer is more flexible and can bend her long snake neck over their shared back to face the same direction of her sister or to just rest condescendingly on her shoulders.<br /><br /> Together they have the expected muscular frame of a predatory feline and stand a few inches higher then most stallions. </p>

Personality: <p> Taer & Raer do consider themselves to be both the same being, but different personalities entirely. Both of them do love their sister even if neither misses a beat to snark at each other. Taer may be the bigger flirt & Raer may not really care, but they make a point that if you date them, you get BOTH of them!<br /><br /> Taer is clearly the louder & more outgoing of the two. She's completely stallion-crazy & rarely misses a beat to pounce on one to play with. She is still baffled by how her efforts usually send them fleeing in terror instead; despite the constant reminders from her sister that most usually don't appreciate being nibbled on by a giant reptilian mountain cat.<br /><br /> Raer is more intelligent & reserved. She usually is the one that has to do the planning & assessment of what they may have to do next. She frequently has to remind her more bubbly & ditzy sister of danger, past experiences or to spend more then a minute thinking before doing anything. She may be without fangs, but she has more then enough bite to her sarcasm. As she's spent alot of her life rolling her eyes or reprimanding her sister's antics, Raer has lost a good deal of her patience being yanked around by her other half. </p>

Backstory: <p> Taer/Raer lives in the Foal Mountains between Canterlot & Fillydelphia. For most of hers life, they've spent it living in the crags of high mountains and pouncing down on the unsuspecting caravans that travel the roads though their territory laden with food & other resources. While they certainly have the teeth to eat meat they have always spared the ponies they've ambushed, mostly because Taer's favorite part has always been chasing down the hunky stallions that always seem to pull the carts.<br /><br /> It has gotten to them over the years though. The fact that neither of them recalls where they came from, if they had parents or where any other Amphisbaena is. It's started to worry Tae that nopony seems to be happy seeing her lunge at them from above & Rae must admit that it won't be long before the pony's leaders catch on to their attacks and send somepony with something that actually can pierce their scales. They can admit they're lonely, and they are far overdue for a change of life, for good or ill. </p>
