Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Gorgon

The Hebi Hebi no Mi, Model: Gorgon is a -type that allows the user to transform into a hybrid or full Gorgon, or call upon the powers of the legendary creature. It was eaten by Harlequin W. Heili.

Etymology

 * "Hebi" (蛇) is Japanese for "snake".
 * A "Gorgon" (ゴルゴン) is a mythological half woman-half snake creature in Greek Myth, the name derived from the Greek word "gorgós" (γοργός) meaning "grim" or "dreadful".

Strengths & Weaknesses
Using the powers of the fruit, Heili is granted all the strengths of a gorgon in their natural form. The more obvious traits are the feral, venomous snakes that adorn her head in place of hair and the long serpentine tail that replaces her lower half. The tail is covered in thick, durable scales that are capable of receiving high amounts of blunt damage without any signs of damaging.

Her upper half is covered in a thick furred hide that actually dulls her sense of pain, actually feeling no pain at all in her forearms where the hide is thickest. She possesses retractable tusk-like teeth and claws, blood that has healing properties when willingly given or highly poisonous if forcibly drawn, and transparent wings for eyebrows which are typically used to cover the eyes.

The wings are useful due to the fact that in all forms, Heili is granted an ability she has dubbed Eyes of the Gorgon. It allows her to petrify individuals through various ways, the strength of the petrification and the eye contact required to initiate it being based on her form. When in her natural state, she is capable of paralyzing her opponents with fear so long as she makes eye contact. In her Hybrid Form, she is capable of gradually turning an opponent to stone if their eyes meet hers and in her Full Transformation she is capable of quickly turning a target to stone if they lay eyes on her face.

Opponents are paralyzed for a short duration of time, however those who are turned to stone remain that way until Heili herself reverses it. Those petrified become statues comprised of stone and are incapable of movement or action though if freed they are unaware of the passage of time since they’ve been petrified. If shattered however then the victim will never revert back into their normal form and are for all intents and purposes dead.

While a useful ability, Heili must be careful while utilizing her Eyes due to lacking any immunity to her gaze. Should she look into a mirror or clear reflective surface, she will be afflicted by her own power and, if fully petrified, will remain that way due to not being able to reverse the process. Her ability is also seemingly ineffective against Devil Fruits that enable one to become stone or stone-like materials such as cement, as she cannot petrify that which is already stone. Outside of this, her fruit possesses the standard Devil Fruit weaknesses.

Usage
Like all Zoan Devil Fruit users, Heili possesses three base forms: her natural state, her Hybrid Form and her Full Transformation. She has trained extensively to master the use of the fruit, allowing her to create various forms outside of these that focus on empowering specific aspects of a Gorgon's physiology above others.

In her Hybrid Form, Heili is capable of transforming into an anthropomorphic Gorgon increasing in height by two feet, now measuring at seven feet even. Her width has stayed roughly the same although she has become a bit shapelier due to the furred hide covering her upper body, as well as the durable scales covering her lower body due to possessing both of her legs in place of the serpentine tail typical of Gorgons. She retains her hair snakes along with glowing eyes which are still typically covered by transparent wing-brows; she lacks tusks though the rest of her teeth are sharpened as are the claws which adorn both of her hands and feet.

In her Full Transformation, Heili is capable of transform into a Gorgon increasing in height by a foot, now being six feet tall. Despite being humanoid in appearance, she possesses a serpentine tail nine feet in length in place of her legs. Numerous writhing feral snakes form her hair all of which are poisonous and capable of moving independently of her will however she can exert control over them if necessary. Her face is typically completely obscured by the hair snakes, however if revealed it is truly horrifying as it is filled with miniature snakes wriggling all along her face except for her mouth, which has two tusks, each a foot in length, protruding from it and is filled with rows of razor sharp teeth, and her eyes.

Heili's eyes are actually covered by transparent wings with the blood vessels being visible and the skin being clear enough to see through, her eyes glow with a pale gray light and she has no pupils. Her body is split into two sections with the upper body being clad in dense furred hide and distinctively mammalian due to possessing breasts and arms which end in clawed fingertips which can be retracted and extended at will and the lower section is serpentine clad in durable scales which are smooth to the touch.

Sister Hancock
Sister Hancock is a voluptuous version of Heili that has been described as having a radiant beauty. The snakes that made up her hair are now absent, though the tresses are instead composed of long scaled tendrils. Furthermore she lacks many of the other features of a Gorgon the only traits remaining being her glowing eyes which are uncovered seeing as her wing-eyebrows are also absent being replaced with normal eyebrows which end in a wing pattern. She possesses both legs and is taller in this form, standing at about six foot four inches, while her scaled hair is long and wavy reaching far past her waist to brush against the backs of her calves. This form, like all of those belonging to the Gorgon fruit, is inspired by "Gorgons" of ages past. The eldest and most beautiful of the three Boa Sisters, Hancock’s abilities focus primarily on her hair; initially it glistens in light providing an appealing sight which aids with seducing others, though with her skill she is capable of manipulating it for cosmetic effects. Her fine control over her Fruit allowed for development into being able to be manipulated for combat, Heili being able to extend and retract said hair at will. Her mastery of this form has resulted in her being able to secrete aphrodisiac venom from her scalp as hair oil which can be utilized to envenom her hair-based attacks.
