    Abilities
    (Natural)
    - Venomous - As with all members of her species, the cobra has fangs with potent venom.
    - Eidetic Memory - Self-explanatory.

    (Learned)
    - Translator - It can be assumed that whatever the language is, with very few exceptions, she has learned to read and write it with a skill that is little short of magical.
    - Cryptographer - Codes, for her, are a little like puzzles to jigsaw enthusiasts. Some are more difficult than others, challenging, even! But none of them have foiled her yet.
    - Organizer - It exists, she organizes. This is not unlike having created a Dewey Decimal System for the universe, which she follows to great effect. It is rumored that the naga is literally incapable of losing anything with the possible single exception of her glasses because without them, she can't see.

    Belongings
    - Spectacles - A lovely set of wire-framed spectacles, made with rather heavy wire to support the thick ovals of glass that allow her to see. The earpieces curl almost completely around the back of the ear to prevent being knocked off.
    - Pince nez - Back-up spectacles. When one is as nearsighted as she, it helps to keep a spare set for emergencies, in this case a small gold pince nez in an embroidered bag kept on her person at all times.
    - Chatelaine - An ornate clasp done in tiny gems and fanciful enamel on gold that she wears clipped at the waist of her sari, the chatelaine includes a small sewing kit, tiny scissors, a number of keys, a tiny pen, a miniature inkwell, and a small file.
