The Illiterate Shapeshifter |

<< Back | By Xantara Avari |
Current state: Human
Appearance
In her human form, Xantara has long black hair that flows down the the middle of her back. Her skin is tanned from a natural exposure to the sun and unmarked except for a jagged scar around her right ankle. Her expression is usually one of distrust and suspicion. When in this form she is usually nude, although she does have a set of clothes laying somewhere in Marble Dale Park. Her wolf form is that of a Mackenzie Valley wolf. Black fur starts from behind her brow and covers her head, neck, back, and tail while her underside and legs are covered in white. The scar from her human form is hidden beneath the white fur of her right rear leg. As with in her human form, her eyes are a pale green with hints of a pale golden yellow History
Much of Xantara's history is unknown as she has forgotten most of it herself. Her memory starts as a wolf and, as far as she knows, she is a wolf that has the power to shapeshift into a human. Shape-shifting
Xantara has the ability to change her form at will, but injuries in earlier forms carry on to the next. So a wound on her arm, hand, or shoulder in human form would be the same as a wounded wing in a bird form. This also means that scars made in any form are recognizable in any of the others. For instance, if she had a scar on say...above her right eye she would also have it in her other forms, making her fairly recognizable. Xan also has to learn how to use her forms. For example, she saw a wolf when she was little and decided to become one. She then had to learn the ways of the wolf: how to walk, what to eat, how to eat, etc. However, when she shifts to something of the same type...say a coyote...she knows how to move, but not the particular mannerisms/ways of the coyote. To counter this ability, she is very vulnerable while she is shifting. It also requires a lot of concentration for her to change form. If she is weakened too much while she is in any of her forms she would not be able to shift. She can change into forms other than a wolf, but she has seen little need of it and barely recalls that she as the ability at all. An added effect is that her clothes do not shift with her.
