Manasa

A famed cobra-headed Naga pop singer — a Valtay-piloted worm-head star, killed by the pulse meant for Carl.

Story so far

Manasa was a galactically famous singer (latest single ranked 8th in the universe) appearing on the Danger Zone panel — a towering silver-and-black cobra-headed Naga. The original Manasa died long ago; her career continues because a Valtay-Corporation parasite pilots her body (a 'worm head'). Reassured she wasn't of the Blood Sultanate (so Princess-Donut won't have to kill her on the ninth floor), she was an old friend of Princess-Dnadia.

She perished in the pulse attack — killed in the production trailer she had generously swapped to Carl and Donut, taking the strike meant for them. Her death, of a priceless Valtay asset, triggered the Valtay's destruction of Stalwart's yacht.

Appearance

A towering Naga with a silver-and-black cobra head, a hood nearly a meter wide, and a flicking forked tongue.
