MORRA
BASICS
Leader of an intimidating, but all around friendly, 'girl' gang, Morra spends her sleepless life seeking out the vulnerable folks of society, and giving them the leg up they need to escape their unforunate lives - be it help with transport, or using violence to remove a problem person from the face of Jo'arca.
Morra uses her height and her all around spooky appearance to her advantage, but at heart - or er, gem - she's kind and warm, opting to do good for the world rather than cause more harm to Jo'arcans, but also the reputation Robbers tend to have.

TRIVIA
Morra is extremely affectionate, and with anyone ok with physical touch, she will be physically affectionate with. Hugs, cuddles, bunting foreheads, the works. Platonic kisses are to be expected with her closest friends.Being a Robber, Morra does fear being Blighted, especially considering her tentacles, however she displays none of the feral behavior, or the hunger.
Morra has very little regard for the law if the law stands in her way. If law dictates she shouldn't kill a guy about to cause great harm, then the law is stupid, and worthless. Protecting the innocent is more important than the rules.
Morra's innate magic is, in essence, heatvision, except it works through most materials - so many walls wont block her vision should she choose to activate it. With powerful magic comes drawbacks however, using her heatvision for more than a few seconds a time will result in her passing out, it can sometimes take days for her to wake from this. The longest time she was out for was two weeks. This is the only time she 'sleeps'.
She considers her inability to sleep a 'curse', something Helgin bestowed upon her so she could tirelessly work towards saving people, believing she was inflicted with such a curse because she must have been cruel when she was alive. She has no idea who or what she was in life.
Morra is very open about her opinions, and generally refuses to be silenced on any matter unless the matters are personal to someone involved in the conversation.
PERSONALITY
Morra is loud, but simply. She's loud, a little chaotic, entirely about being shameless in her actions and her words because she does everything with the best of intentions. She wants to mean everything she does and says, and such she sees no need to be quiet or secretive. This can of course be startling, considering how she looks and the sheer size of her.
However she has the ability to be quiet and calm, and extremely comforting. She's extremely protective of her friends and even strangers if they seem to need help. Fiercely protective, in fact, she has ended lives to keep people safe, and will do it again, as many times as needed.
Many people find Morra abrasive, or just too 'wild'. Despite her best efforts to be a good 'impression' for folks new to Robbers, she's never bound to be the quiet, meek brand of safe that tends to get a free pass with the public. This fact pains her greatly, she just wants to be seen as a person, not a monster in training.
DESIGN NOTES
She has six eyes! Two where they 'should' be, two above her eyebrows, and two under her left (our right) eye.
She's got lots of white bone markings, keep your eye out for those!
Stitches on her right (our left) upper arm, joining near the shoulder.
Her 'butt' tentacles actually extend from the base of her tail, and can be just about any length, with a minimim of 1ft each either side.
BACKSTORY
LIFE
Morra knows absolutely nothing about her life, other than how she died, and even that is vague. All she remembers is on her 20th birthday, there was an insanely loud bang, and then she was clawing her way out of the ground as a Robber. She believes she was someone awful in life, raised to make up for her evil deeds. This is partially 'supported' in her mind by the fact she was in an unmarked mini-mass grave, and was the only one of five dragons buried to raise. The others were too rotted for her to make out any details, and does not remember what species they were. She wants to find out who they were, however.
GIRL GANG
A few years after raising, she took a young woman under her wing, keeping her safe and teaching her how to defend herself. Morra never pressed for details about what had happened to make this woman run away, trusting the reason was good, and never expected anything in return for the help offered. Eventually, this spiralled, the two of them rescuing more vulnerable women and adjacent, most choosing to leave when they found their feet, though some did stick around.
Despite calling themselves a 'girl gang', they are actually open to all genders, it just seems to be majority fem-aligned folks that wanted to tag along for good, or at least for a while.
This gang has since become Morra's entire life. She works odd-jobs and bouncer work where she can to pull money in for the squad, and everyone else that is able to does as well. They live in a renovated apartment block, small as it is, and all of the wages they can spare goes into its upkeep, the gang's varying skills keeping it maintained, though there is a fund aside for if they need to pay someone else to come in and take care of something.
