Kawaii! I do agree. I can’t wait for a silhouette trailer. Hopefully PAX? I don’t know if they are gonna be there, but it would be nice.
What about the name Hemlock? Named after the highly poisonous flowering plant?
I just don’t feel like verbs make good names… It’s like calling Aganos “Rumble”. There’s just no character or personality behind such names. No story.
This character idea is pretty cool though.

I remember you mentioned Hemlock in the past, I like that name so much more than the name that suggests an action.
Hemlock is a pretty cool name, but would only fit if the venom/poison stuff is used. Maybe there’s a different poisonous plant name which could be used that has a bit more of a feminine sound to it? I like the idea, though!
Personally I still prefer Slither, as the only thing she would require for the name to fit is her snake tail - already a guarantee as she’s a gorgon!
Can we not give IG more ideas for another anti-hype launch trailer please? Silhouette trailers are boring, at least the way S2’s was done. We need S3’s launch trailer to be like S1’s was. Hype AF.
It really depends on how developed the characters are at the time they make the trailer I guess.
If they have the characters pretty much complete, I have no problem with a full reveal trailer. And who knows? Maybe we’ll get most of, if not all of the Season on day one if things are far enough along!
If they only have the concept art, I like the idea of a silhouette for those characters who are not ready for a full reveal, as it keeps us guessing. I enjoy speculating on what these unknown characters could be, personally.
It was only done that way because that was all they had to show at the time. I’m pretty sure it’ll have more this time around.
Works for me!

The concern I would have with Hemlock is that it’s the name of a plant - we already have a female character named after a plant (Orchid), which makes me think this idea would make it kind of redundant and unoriginal. Personally, I still like the idea of adding an “a” onto the end of her originally-proposed name “Slither” and call her “Slithera” - it’s still got that fun connotation to it, but allows you to roll the name off of the tongue, and sounds like it could fit in many cultures (for example, it almost sounds Greek). It can sound like “Slither-a” or “Slith-there-a” - there’s any number of ways you could say it and make it sound awesome… 
For a medusa character I think these wuld be neat design aspects:
Instead of millions of snakes for hair, she would have 3-5 snakes but they would be large and cover her head so she doesn’t look bald. The snake heads can be used to add additional attacks outside of just a bow and arrow. She could also have the ability to swing her own body at her opponent for a heavy sweep attack and her grapple can envolve constriction.
Hopefully IG can get real creative with this character. Alot of the pics I’ve seen a re good examples but only as bases.
I also think she should have some small traits in common with Omen like glowing fingers and maybe a bit of shadow mist with her movements. Seeing as she may be a part of Gargo’s region.
Had a few more ideas, and wanted to see if anybody had any more input they wanted to offer!
Slither’s Intro - moving forward low to the ground, then spinning up to her ingame height: “Stand aside, or face my gaze!” (or “Stand aside, or I will SWEEP you aside!”
Slither’s Taunt - “beauty tosses” her snakes like hair, with a confident laugh.
Slither’s Outro - Instinct activation animation, sound of opponent turning fully to stone offscreen, and a grim smile on her face: “A monument to my people’s strength.”

Love the idea of a medusa style character. We need more monster girls in games as it is, so this would be a good start.

You aren’t the only one.
Obviously I would LOVE for IG to get ideas from our discussion here!
If we don’t get to see Slither in the roster, it’s at least fun to imagine and discuss this with everyone who’s contributing to the discussion.

I like the hair toss idea.
A character like Slither would be a good opportunity to do something really fun with colors and accessories.
Her different colors could change the pattern displayed on the snake-scaled parts of her body, to mimic the patterns displayed by various kinds of snake. I’m picturing bands of color (coral snakes), stripes with spots (garter snake), and diamonds (cobra) just to name a few! Her ‘hair’ snakes could change color as well.
One of Slither’s accessory sets could be her Tribal Queen garb, with bone armor plates, jewelry, and weapons, such as those worn by indigenous tribes. Another set could look like bronze, with snake like designs, as a reference to her ancient mythological roots.
Do you have other suggestions or ideas? What about for her retro costume?

Well, I just made sense of this:

I’m not sure about a gorgon yet.
I mean Aganos has Greece. So what if this gorgon is the last of her kind who survived in another country? Perhaps India since they have “Nagas”?
I’d rather see her legs bipedal and change her legs to snake in her moves or go instinct mode when going snake mode.
I keep going back and forth on the idea of a gorgon character. I do like the concept, and I don’t mind that it’s another greek myth character.
But the more I read up on @SourSaturn99690 idea of an Indian naga, the more it really seems like a winner to me There’s actually some really cool and unique images of this mythological character and if I recall correctly, we haven’t seen a character from India yet, so that’d be pretty awesome. Good idea, man!
According to Hindu stories, which run through contemporary times, nagas can be good or evil, they protect rivers, springs, seas, etc. They can bring rains and fertility or disasters like floods or droughts. In stories, they can start off with legs and become more snake-like or they can start off snake-like. Honestly, some of the pictures lend themselves to a very ornate and beautiful character design.
I think I’d actually prefer this over a Madusa type. It looks more original, or at least like a more unique variation on something we’re already familiar with, though not nearly as familiar with in this incarnation.
I could see her being a human Indian woman, perhaps a protector form the Night Guard, with the ability to morph in to a snake-human hubrid as part of her attacks, an ability to control water and poisons… I could see a lot of potential in a character like that.
