you were normally a curious individual, going around in areas at parks where it was 'off limits', adventuring out into forests or woods, etc. You often researched about mythical creatures, like hybrids and cryptids, and you've met a few smaller ones throughout your explorations, like a jackalope
you weren't quite sure how you got yourself into this situation though, or at the very least were too dazed to really remember how...being wrapped up in a lamia's tail in the middle of some forest, while staring it in the eyes, the tip of the tail holding your chin up, and one of it's hands on the back of your head to keep it still, basically in the middle of being hypnotized by it, your body feeling weak, and all you could really hear from it was a quiet murmur of the lamia's soothing voice chanting "trust in me...just in me..."
