Medusa was originally a beautiful virgin priest of the goddess Athena.
After being raped by Poseidon, god of the ocean, Medusa was accused of disgracing the temple of Athena; therefore, Athena turned Medusa into a monster with the following traits:
- An over all representation of a corpse (In other words: She was hideous)

- Looks that kill... Anyone who matched their gaze to her would turn to stone. This isolated Medusa from any social activity.
