Medusa

Medusa

Medousa, Gorgon Medusa, Dussy, Medussssssa

Female

I refuse to release my current location. Some stupid hero might try to behead me (again).

Being a hideous monster (but seeking new employment)

Phorkys and Keto, or maybe Gorgo and Keto

The Gorgons
The Graeae

Pegasus
Chrysaor

My sister Gorgons, Euryale and Stheno
Anyone who hates Athena, including Arachne and the Crow

Athena, who turned me into a monster
Poseidon, who got me into this monster mess to begin with
Perseus, who beheaded me

Single. I once had a fling with Poseidon, but then Athena turned my hair into snakes. It kind of put a bad taste in my mouth for romance.
