Bridgeport character idea

A character I'm submitting to  :iconbridgeport: http://bridgeport.deviantart.com/ haven't thought of a name yet, but she's a manticore x sphinx. Her wings have been cut off, she has a human form which I'm going to do, she lives on the street and has no memories of who she is, how she got to Bridgport, why her wings were cut off or how she got her affliction. She's also British and curses often with all the typical British slang and more.

She's no stranger to being homeless, so wherever she came from she lived on the streets too, she knows the best places to dumpster dive, she eats whenever she can and seems to eat all the time. If she's not eating, she's looking for things to eat or sleeping :P

I'll try and get a more 'offical' stat page up and flesh her out a lot more.

A manticore is typically a red lion/tiger with the head of a man, 3 rows of sharp teeth with a smile that stretches from ear to ear and a scorpion or dragon's tail, it can shoot posionous spines like an arrow from it's tail and if a person is missing, it's because a manticore has eaten them, they leave nothing behind. No blood, no items, no clothing. They have a roar like a trumpet and their voice is musical, luring their victims to them.

A sphinx is typically a lion with eagle wings and the head and chest of a women, she loves riddles and eats travellers if they do not answer correctly. They are guardians and have the lioness' motherly instinct.

So I thought I'd combine the two so I can have a female manticore, sorta :D She has a human(ish) head and breasts, a tigeress' body, wings and she can shoot quills out of her tail that can paralyise or knock out her victims, depending how many quills are embedded can range from a limb to the whole body being paralyised. Because she is a hybrid, her vemon isn't as strong as a pure manaticore so cannot kill, and because she looks mostly like a manticore, she looks more mascline when in that form because of the jaw, but she isn't very femimine looking anyway. :P

She also occasionally eats people. Only if they deserve it.

Also, instead of having a black outline, I thought I'd be creative and have a dark red outline and grey for the wings. :)
