"Ladykiller the Maneater is a primordial eel. She was a deity, but it has been so long sine she has emerged on the physical plane that no one is quite sure of what. Ladykiller was in a sort of hibernation/dream state until she was awoken from her subterranean slumber and thrust into the world of men.
Ladykiller the Maneater is a manifestation/means of processing trauma. She takes the shape of an eel. In Tlingit culture the eel, although edible, was considered too “lowly” of a creature to eat and thus largely ignored.
Ladykiller is loving and gentle at her most natural state but highly carnivorous when agitated. She has a taste for men, pun intended."
