Lady Viper: The Snake Charmer

Lady Viper

Legend and popular myth says that daughter and sole heir to Scottish Lord and Lady McInnes, Aileana McInnes (a.k.a. Sideshow’s Lady Viper), was born into a family bloodline once cursed by faeries hundreds of years ago during the ‘Great Faerie Battle of Scotland’. A conflict that started over land ownership. The curse states that, “Any women carrying the seed of a McInnes, will die during childbirth”.

Lord McInnes, like many of his ancestors, sort ways to break the curse once and for all. It was rumoured he even sort the controversial help of an Irish Banshee.Whatever the mystical bargain may have been, it seemed to have worked… at first.

Lady McInnes succeeded in giving birth to their beautiful healthy daughter, Alieana, and happy they all were until Alieana’s 6th birthday. On the day of the birthday celebration Alieana became violently ill, her complexion changed and her nose began to recede and disappear altogether. Concerned for her health, Lord and Lady McInnes uprooted from Scotland’s north to warm sunny southern Spain. They noticed an instant difference in Aileana's health, although sadly her nose never recovered, and with age her skin became more green and reptilian.

Shortly after the family settled in Spain, tragedy once again caught up with the McInnes family. Aileana's parents and head butler Manny Marcos Ratón disappeared under mysterious circumstances while on a picnic trip – rumours speculate that it was  yet another consequence of the ‘McInnes Curse’. His son, Señor Manuel Miguel Ratón a.k.a “Squeaky”, succeeded Manny Marcos Ratón.

“Nowadays I live at the family home in Spain for seven months of the year with my butler and faithful confidant Squeaky, and Santos my beloved green tree python. The rest of the time I’m touring with the Sideshow. I’ve never returned to the old family estate in Scotland. I’m told no one lives there anymore, although I’ve heard through the grapevine that some people believe the faeries have staked claim on that land again. Good for them”.
