Wanted to practice some emote making, so I drew these~ using some free to use bases as ref (not tracing, just using the same pose).
I will probably make more of these, some of my friends OCs too to practice more~ What do you think so far? 👀 Also, look at them small, they're not intended to be seen big hahah

Oops! All Snakes!
I've seen 2 other folks with TWST OCs based on Kaa and figured...Fuck it I'm drawing them together to show how diff people interpret a character.
Left to Right is: @eirasummersart 's Adorable Akshaya and Kuldeep, my own Slimy Bastard Aadesh, and @squidwen's Biggest Flirt on Campus Basil Balanaga. (Thank you two for giving the OK to throw them all together!)

I WANNA KNOW THE APPLExSNAKE SHIP PLEEEEASE
Ahhh, thanks for the ask! I'm glad someone cares to know about them as well 👉👈
I still haven't decided exactly how the ship is gonna work, but I'll try my best to organize my thoughts and explain my ideas so far for you~ I'll even add Akshaya's banner. I need to make one for the ship hahah
Text under the cut!
Tumblr media
Akshaya definitely mets Epel through either Jack or Yuu. They're the two people she sitcks to at first and she's really bad at making friends, so she just tags along with them. One of the times when the 1st year group is together is when she and Epel are introduced, most likely.
They're just acquitances from then on, but at some point Epel helps Akshaya out with something (still undecided, but in the vibe of "catching her before he falls" or "blocking a ball that was gonna hit her"). Either way, Akshaya thinks that was a cool move and tells him "Thank you, you're so cool!" or similar. "Cool" is definitely on the "manly" side of praise (you know, from Epel's basic boy gender norms perspective XDD), so Epel gets all happy about it and boasts a bit.
Akshaya takes more notice of him from then on. She mostly enjoys when he's being "himself" and not meek for Vil. And she genuinely thinks he's cool and manly and all that. Basically, she admires what she lacks (she's so shy and meek). So she tells him. And since Epel likes those kinds of comments and attention, he'd keep showing off for her at the same time.
Little by little they'll get closer and somehow(?) they end up being a couple. I haven't thought that far ahead hahahah
And now, some little things I also have in mind for them or that make me like this ship, in no particular order:
They're a really confusing couple gender-wise. For others, mostly, they each have their own gender clear. But with Epel looking so "cute/femenine" by traditional standards, and Akshaya being more in the non-binary appearance wise, dressing in a really neutral way, it's easy to mistake who is what. And you know what? Too bad, you shouldn't judge people's gender by their appearance anyway~ But yea, I find this kind of thing fun to play with~ Also, Akshaya is 1cm taller than Epel (he'd hate that forever, maybe he'll grow taller than her in a couple of years XD). It's a small difference, so they basically look the same height 😌 It's just cute!
Kula is a bit more sceptical about Epel at first. In the end, he's the most cautelous of the two and his priority is always to keep Akshaya safe. He also doesn't think Epel is as cool as Akshaya does, but mostly just rolls his eyes at her about that hahaha. He warms up to him after, and mostly does not care as long as he makes Akshaya happy. When Akshaya and Epel are having a moment or they spend time together after they become a couple, Kula will either hide himself away inside Akshaya's clothes and sleep, or go to a hidden close-by location and sleep there until they're done. At that point, he trusts Epel, so he has no worries leaving them "alone".
I like to imagine Akshaya tagging along in the Harveston event too. I did a drawing of it for Twistober this year~ But a bit more about it. Akshaya is terrible with the cold, so even if she prepared in advance and put a lot of clothes on the day they go there, she's still cold af. They give her one of the warmest outfits later when they change, and Epel keeps checking on her to make sure she's never too cold. He even will give her his poncho sometimes to help her keep warm 🤭 And well, she'd love the part about making their own little animal plushies to help with the race! She loves cross-stitching the most, but also likes sewing in general. She'll be really happy learning about the tradition and how they're used. She'd make a snake plushie for herself, of course! She'd also be interested on how the traditional outfits they wear are made and probably chat with Epel's grandma about them for a while~ She'd be extremelly awkward around her at first, tho. Akshaya is super shy after all, and she wants to make a good impression on her. But seeing how she's really sweet (usually), and she's similar to her grandson, she'd quickly warm up to her ❤
Also, regarding the song I shared yesterday, I think some of the character developement for Akshaya will come from being close to Epel. With the other 1st years as well, but since she'll end up being closest with Epel, he'd have the most influence. Just how he openly welcomes her, always includes her and is really nice to her. He'll also be patient when she's all shy or can't quite make up her mind about something because of her fears of rejection. And slowly, she'll be a bit more open and be less social awkward~ (she's still that way, though, that won't go away completely hahah but getting better slowly 😌)
On another note, because of how you worded your ask… I realized I could even add some symbolism about the apple and the snake hahaha I never thought about it but it could be fun XD If only I knew more about religion(?). Maybe I'll ask a friend of mine who know a bunch about it if she has some ideas for this C:
And I think that's all I have for them so far~ One day I wanna answer those "ship questions" I have with them~ that would be fun :D
OH, and if anyone has ideas for the ship name, let me know~ I'm so bad at thinking those XD
That's it for the rambling. Thanks for giving me a reason to talk away away about something I enjoy 💕
And to everyone who read untill here, thank you as well! Have a nice day!

Twistober prompt list.
Day 10: Harveston Kelkkarotu. I was unsure of what to draw for this event, I had a few basic ideas. But then my friend gave me the idea of this scene for these two and I really liked it C: Because she's half-snake, she isn't good at all with the cold, so he put his poncho on her to keep her warm 😌💕
I haven't introduced it yet for you all, but one of Akshaya's ships is actually Epel. They're really cute (at least to me), she thinks he's really cool and manly, genuinely, and tries to get closer for that. And Epel really gets his ego inflated with her admiration and shows off even more for her hahaha
Maybe one day I'll actually write some info for the ship. For now, here's a sneak peak~
Oh, and as an extra note. Kula is obviously with her too, they're always together. But he's even worse with the cold, so he spends most of the time in Harveston curled up around Akshaya's waist under all her clothes, to keep as warm as he can. Poor snakes, I put them in the worst event for them, but they had to be with Epel too! hahaha
Commissions are open, check out my pinnned post if you’re interested~

I need 1 and 6 for Akshaya owo (plz)
Refering to this.
Hello, thanks for the ask! I'm glad to answer some answers for my snake kid~ Here we go!
Tumblr media
1. Do they love Christmas? Hate it? Is there a particular reason for it?
It's not her fave holiday for sure. Not particularly because of what you do in it but because of when it is. As a half-snake and having Kula with her, the cold is really harsh on them. And her mom, being a full snake beastwoman has it really rough too. So for her whole life, Christmas to her has meant staying at home with her family, warm next to the fire and with lots of blankets and being quite lethargic most of the time. Only her dad (the only human) is more active and is the one preparing everything and taking care of them usually. Akshaya can move around and all normally, but it's much more difficult for her than during warmer times.
They do exchange gifts every year and it comes with a lot of family bonding time, so it does bring good memories for her, so she somewhat likes it, anyway.
6. How are they when receiving gifts? Do they really value handmade gifts? Do they like surprises?
She'd go really quiet and probably even cry a little bit if someone surprises her with a Christmas gift (or on any other ocassion, really). She's only ever received gifts from her family, which were not a surprise. She never had close friends before, so to have someone care enough about her to give her a gift, she'd be moved beyond words.
She'd love just store bought things (someone though of her enough to buy her a present!!) and she'll definitely appreciate those. But with handmade gifts and all the effort behind them, she'd treasure them forever. And her love/appreciation for said person would go way up from it. If it's some kind of accessory, she'd definitely wear it everyday for a LONG time (she'll cry if it breaks or she loses it).
Also, not in the question itself, but expect her to return the gift 10 times over~
---
That's all! Thanks for asking about her~
And everyone else, feel free to send some for my other OCs too! Christmas is gonna be soon so~ C:

I always wanna ask permission from folks but: Would it be OK if I added Akshaya to a small collective art piece involving my own and another friend's Kaa-TWST OCs? I just adore how creative everyone is and the neat directions people take a concept like an established character >w< If you're not okay w/ it it's entirely fine! Like I said I wanna ask first!
Hello, thanks for asking first ❤
It's completely ok to add her there, for sure C: I just ask that you put proper credint and please, share the art piece with me once it's up so I can see it and share it too! I'd like to see everyone else's OCs as well 💕
If you want me to share a transparent file or anything for it, send me a dm and I think I can easily do that 👌

I haven't talked about Akshaya's ship here, I think? (or did I?). Either way, the most solified ship for her I have right now is with Epel. And I randomly listened again to one of the old Love Live! songs I still like and thought it really fit Akshaya, specially when they're already together or almost there. It's a cute and adorable song, so I'm sharing this with you all, here you go:
youtube
If anyone wants me to ramble more about how the Epel/Akshaya ship goes, you can tell me here or send asks~ I just need an excuse and I'll ramble XDDDDD
Also, I need a ship name 🤔

Here is the first introduction of my new OC(s)! C:
I'll introduce them properly in the info posts, but for now, he name is Akshaya and the snake is her familiar, his name is Kuldeep~ She's a half human, half snake beastfolk~ They're based on Kaa from the Jungle Book.
I've had them as OCs for a while, but there were lots of important details I wasn't so sure on so it took me so long to finally have then finished enough to share here. But from now on you'd see content of them here too C:
I hope you like the drawing, it was hard to make with the snake and all <3
Commissions are open, check out my pinnned post if you’re interested~

Akshaya’s basic profile:
Name: Akshaya Gender: Female but goes by she/they. Age: 16 Species: Half-snake beastfolk, half human. Birthday: 30th November Zodiac: Ophiuchus (Sagittarius).
Height: 157cm Eye Color: Bright yellow. Hair Color: Dark brown.
Homeland: Scalding sands. Dorm: Savanaclaw. School Year: 1st year. Occupation: Student. Club: Gargoyle research society. Best Subject: Potion making.
Dominant Hand: Ambidextrous. Favorite Food: Spaghetti. Least Favorite Food: Veggie puree. Dislikes: The cold/winter.
Hobby: Cross-stitching. Talents: Making others sleep.
Elemental Magic: Water.
Unique Magic: (Name pending) - Can change the size of her snake familiar to make him tiny or huge, depending on her needs.
Personality: Shy and closed off. She has a lot of social anxiety and she gets really uncomfortable and anxious if she’s surrounded by a lot of people she doesn’t know. She usually finds a “strong person” that can protect her and tries to make friends with them and gain their favour so she can feel “safe”. She often fails because she comes off as creepy instead (her expressions are often “weird”, specially her smile, because she’s so nervous she’s not natural at all) and she ends up being really upset.
She’s also quite nervous and skittish, moves around quickly and appears and disappears fast without anyone noticing. Prefers small and dark places where she feels safe, that’s when she really stops moving so much and finally can relax a bit, especially if she’s with people she trusts.
She often makes bad decisions because of her anxiety, so that’s why her familiar is so important and helps her so much. He’s the opposite of her, always calm and much more rational. He’ll start analysing the situation if he feels Akshaya gets too anxious and try to come up with the best solution to get her out of it (or make it better for her). She can’t always listen to him, especially if she is far too upset to be rational, but she really tries if not, because she knows he only has their best interest in mind and helps her a lot.
Her first instinct when she feels really scared or fears for her life is to flee or hide. But if there comes a situation where she can do neither of those, she’ll instead try to “intimidate”. She’d use her UM to make her familiar as huge as she can and have him hiss and show his fangs at the offender(s). That usually deters anyone who tries to harm them and makes them leave. But if it doesn’t… her familiar would defend her fiercely. It never has come to that so far, thankfully.

Akshaya's trivia:
Based on Kaa from the Jungle Book.
Her name is derived from Sanskrit अक्षय (akṣaya) meaning "eternal, imperishable" (literally "not decaying").
Her familiar’s name is Kuldeep, but she usually calls him Kula. From Sanskrit कुल (kula) meaning "family" and दीप (dipa) meaning "lamp, light".
She’s great at potion making of any kind, but she’s especially adept at making sleep potions. They always have a really strong potency and duration. This is a reference to Kaa lulling people to sleep.
Her familiar is always under her clothes, curled around her waist and with his head resting on her shoulder. He spends most of the day sleeping, unless something wakes him up. He’s much more active at night and keeps guard on Akshaya while she sleeps, just as she takes care of him when he sleeps. 
Kuldeep is an Indian Phython (Python molurus), the species of snake Kaa is supposed to be.
Akshaya has slitted pupils, snake fangs and a lot of scales in various patches around her body. She’s usually all covered up so you can only see the ones on her face. Also, her body temperature is lower than an average human, so she always feels cool to the touch.
The reason why she uses she/they is not because she’s nb (although she doesn’t care much for how she’s perceived and likes looking androgynous). She just often uses “they” because she means her and Kuldeep as a set, since she’s not alone. People didn’t know that was the reason (not knowing she had a familiar with her all the time, since he stays so well hidden), and with her androgynous looks, weren’t sure of her gender/assumed nb, and started using “they” for her, as she often did. She never thought it was weird since it’s still correct when referring to both of them, so she never corrects anyone.
Like with Dalia, she attends NRC but it’s an AU where it’s a mixed school.

Akshaya’s lore and relationships:
OC’s Lore Summary: 
Born from a snake beastwoman mother and a human father, she has traits from both, which has made her socialisation difficult. She’s too much of a snakefolk for the humans and too much of a human for the snakefolk, so she was always rejected by both.
She ended up alone most of her childhood, barely having anyone to play with her, aside from some of the kids at her school who would let her join sometimes, but not treating her too well.
Even with all that, she was never truly alone. Since she was really small she was with her familiar. A snake that bonded to her and who shares her life and magic with her. Since their life forces are connected, he ages at the same rate as she does and, if one is hurt, the other feels it and vice-versa. They also can easily communicate, he speaks in a really low voice, but since he’s always close to he,r she can still hear. Others might be able to understand him too, but he usually stays hidden inside her clothes and not letting anyone else see him unless it’s necessary or it’s night time (when he’s most active).
They both take decisions together most of the time, or he’ll give advice to Akshaya as a sort of “conscience” when she’s gonna make a bad decision. She usually listens to him and tries to do as he says… if she can bring herself to do it.
After such an isolated life, she ended up receiving an invitation to attend NRC. No one was really surprised since her magic is quite strong and she’s good at controlling it. She had a lot of anxiety about joining, though. After her isolation she ended up being really shy and socially anxious, so going away from her family, not knowing anyone and also in a school famous for their strong willed people?? Really scary! But she still decided to go to improve herself. It’s a really unique opportunity, after all!
Relationships:
She was already anxious about joining NRC but when she’s placed in Savanaclaw she feels really exposed and vulnerable. She desperately looks for someone to latch onto and protect her.
She ends up latching to Jack, who doesn’t judge her from her appearance and her skittish nature. She usually only wants to help him and have some company, so he lets her.
She feels a weird bond with Jamil and tries to get closer to him and be his “apprentice”. He ends up letting her do as she wants since she also tries to help him and it’s not so bad.
When she heard people saying that the new 1st year over at Ramshackle also had a familiar, she was so happy thinking there was someone else like her and she could be friends with them, maybe!! So she went to find them. After realising Grim is not a familiar at all she was really bummed. But Yuuki (my MC) was still nice to her and they ended up being friends anyway.
 She joined the Gargoyle Club because it seemed really peaceful and stress free. And also, because Malleus is such a strong mage, if she gained his favour she’d be safe, right?? And she feels a bit of a kinship with both being “reptile” in a way (dragon and snake). He’s just so happy that someone joined his club that he keeps info dumping about gargoyles to her at all the meetings. She doesn’t mind, finds it interesting and feels safe with him soon after. She spends most of the time sitting in a corner doing cross-stitching as she listens to him. So it counts as a “gargoyle club activity”, she cross stitches gargoyles. When Malleus saw it the first time he was really impressed and praised her a lot, so she gave it to him and made him unbelievably happy. So now she keeps making those, and once they’re done she gives them to Malleus. His collection keeps growing.
More relationships might be added in the future. You can also ask if you're curious about anyone in particular~
