I'll do Medusa before bed:

1) Medusa is not looking at your character unless explicitly mentioned. Even if she's wearing glasses (which is an 'if'), she's trained herself far too much to look down to casually look up at people.

2) she's a 5'3, very attractive North African female humanoid, with a 12 foot wingspan of living gold feathers and moving snakes throughout her hair. The wings are more noticeable than the snakes, although the snakes are probably more disconcerting once people notice them.

3) She's a monster. This is her species - she doesn't have a human conscience, she doesn't have a linear, coherent memory, and she's a predator who has (and will) hunt and eat humans. Unless you are a friend, she would happily eat you. And then probably forget your existence (refer to not having a human memory).

4) She's shy and skittish and tends to smile a lot, mostly because she's shy and skittish. But it's a shy and skittish the way a hawk or a big cat might be shy and skittish - there is still the possibility of fight instead of flight.

5) She doesn't sound human, either. Her voice is too clear, too eerie, too similar to flutes to be human.
