he's just a snake. he can't talk, because he's a snake. he has no coherent thoughts, because he's a snake.

his name is one given to him by fairies, whom he is friends with. not that he understands, because he's a snake.

he scares easily and is prone to baring his fangs, but he isn't much of a biter.

he doesn't have any family, because he's a snake.

he allows pettings by the fairies, and is often given passage to fairy parties (and given all sorts of decorative accessories to accentuate his beauty), but doesn't understand why they do it. because....... he's a snake
