Dhiriss is a magically uplifted snake, created to guard a long lost temple of some forgotten deity. These serpents would lay dormant in their egg form untill an intruder would trigger one of the hidden mechanisms that would activate the guardians.
Though after ages the temple had fallen into disrepair and the traps had all locked up or fallen apart, allowing for the temple to be picked clean of it's riches aside from the guardians who were left ignored in their niches untill a mage happened across them.

She managed to activate the guardians away from the temple, giving them free will without the magical wards controlling them. having no true purpose most decided to stay and guard the mage's tower instead, while a couple of them decided to either go back to the temple or find a place to belong as they wander the world. Dhiriss is one of those who initially decided to stay but she eventually became curious to see some of the world, often accompanying the mage on an errand in one of the nearby cities.

While the runic lines on her body provides protection from physical and magical attack, and thus removing the need for armor or clothing, Dhiriss actually likes to wear armor and clothing finding it helps people accept her more easily rather than see her as a monster. She also doesn't need to carry weapons as each of the guardians can conjure up any type of weapon they wish.
