The Sphinx

The Sphinx is a sphinx. She is roughly 15 feet tall and 30 long. She moves on all fours, though can use her forelimbs as hands. Her head, shoulders, breasts, upper arms, and belly are that of a human woman, while her lower body is that of a lion. Her forearms and hands are enormous scaled talons, like the feet of a predatory bird. She has a pair of bird wings growing from her back that allow her to fly. Her feathers are like those a a peacock's tail; shimmering blues, greens and purples. The Sphinx's human parts are pale skinned and gigantic compared to a normal person. Her eyes are solid black with glowing orange irises. Her long hair is actually made of elongated feathers. Her teeth are the sharpened fangs of a predator. The little clothing she wears resembles the ornaments of an Arabic dancer: strings of beads, jingling collections of overlapping coins, lengths of transparent colored silk, and the like.
