History: Crotalus was born and hatched in the Mojave Desert along with her three brothers and one sister. Like most snakes she left the nest at an early age but still hung around most of her family. When she was about six months old her mother was killed by a coyote. Just a short two months later her brother, John, and her sister were killed by a mated pair of hawks. Almost a year later her other brother, Austin, was strangled and eaten whole by a California King Snake which her father promptly killed three months later. From that point on Crotalus, Atrox, and Delgado traveled side by side, protecting each other from the dangers of the desert. At the age of three, a flash flood happened and while trying to get his only remaining daughter to safety, Delgado was washed away with the water. Left stranded on a pile of rocks, Crotalus and Atrox waited for the flood waters to recede before looking for a safe place to live. They found what they thought was a safe place before there was a fire that ratted them out of their burrow. It had been a trap, because only a short five minutes later a pair of humans trapped and took off with Atrox, leaving Crotalus by herself. From that point on, she has learned to look out for herself though her hunting skills are a bit weak. She was six years old when she got into a fight with a hawk, earning a scar under her right eye. The hawk died due to a bite Crotalus inflicted upon it during the fight. Later that year, she had a run in with a young Cal. King Snake looking for an easy meal. She remembered her lost brother and took out her fury on the unsuspecting king snake. Blood had never tasted so good from then on....
Lengthy description, yes? Anyways, tell me what you think of her.

Oooooh, she's pretty
lol, I have a character that's a Kingsnake, but she's too much of a derp to be too harmful unless provoked |D Because that derp is really me being a weirdo and wanting to design myself as a Rango character

Crotalus is actually part of the Latin name for Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, which is crotalus atrox.

It took me a while to draw them like that. It's surprisingly hard to draw snakes. Anyways, thanks! I've been slowly but surely working on more chapters...moving at a snail's pace...
