Ekidne is a New Olympian.
History
Ekidna is particularly suspicious of, and ill-disposed towards, humans. After New Olympus makes contact with the outside world, she will be the leader of an isolationist faction that wants nothing to do with the humans. Another member of it, although a reluctant one, is her daughter Medusa.
Characteristics
Ekidna looks something like a hag (though with reptilian features) from the waist up, and like a serpent from the waist down.
Real World History
Ekidna is named after Echidna, the mate of the monstrous giant Typhon in Greek mythology. Echidna looked like a beautiful human woman from the waist up, but like a snake from the waist down. She was the mother by Typhon of most of the monsters of Greek myth, including the Nemean Lion, the Lernean Hydra, the Sphinx, Cerberus, and the Chimera. She was finally slain by Argus, a hundred-eyed giant.}
