Name: Elizabeth "Ellie" Blake
Age: 17
Race of Monster: yee naaldlooshii
Gender: Female
Appearance: Being a shapeshifter, Ellie rarely stays in the exact same form for long and almost always changes something every day. When she has to live among humans though, she normally stands at about 5'4" with rather fair features. She purposely tries to make herself look as average as possible, not wanting anybody to acknowledge her for long. Yet in a place she feels relatively safe, such as the school, she has a habit of changing her appearance multiple times in a day... one minute having plain brown hair, the next bleached blonde and maybe, if she's feeling adventurous, hot pink an hour later.. The only thing about her that could make her stand out in the slightest, would be her eyes... One a bright yellow-gold which seems to glow... the other a misty grey that looks to swirl and twist with every beat of her heart.
History: Ellie never knew her father... But she knew that he was the one to blame for her issues... Her mother never talked about him much and all Ellie knew was that she was the result of a much regretted one night stand years ago. Her mother had never been able to hold a job for long and they were constantly moving from town to town and state to state.
Her mother had been a regular human, which meant that her abilities came from her father's blood... And that would explain her mother's reaction when she stumbled into Ellie's room as she was staring down at her arms which were quickly beginning to shrink, thick orange hair rushing up along them as the girl began shrinking. Her face was twisted with emotions of both fascination and fear as she looked up at her mother and released a strained, "Mrowl" as her face scrunched up into a feline muzzle... which elicited a terror filled screech from her mother.
And less than a week later... Ellie was on her own... She didn't know what to do... where to go... how to survive... But she learned... she figured out... In the end, she found a way.
After that she just wandered aimlessly as she learned more about her powers... She visited nearly every state along the east coast of the US and up into Canada... moving as a stray dog along the street stealing food here and there to keep herself fed... Or traveling as a bird to cover ground... With no true goals, she felt the need to set one. She decided that she would just travel the world, seeing whatever she could to make her life interesting and worth living... So after two years of roaming through canada, she got the idea to go across the sea... Nobody seemed to notice the mouse stowing away in the kitchen, hiding out under one of the loose counters at night... Nor did the other members of the cruise realize that so many of the young women on the ship shared the same strange eyes... And upon reaching England, only a handful of women noticed they were missing clothes...
Slowly, she made her way across the continent... going out of her way to see as many different species of animals as she could... Lions... Tigers... Bears... Oh my did she learn... and with every new location, her respect for the world and the creatures living in it grew... But... no matter where she went... She felt unwanted... No wolf pack would accept her.... No pride would allow her in their territory... Although she repressed it well... She knew that she was alone and it hurt...
So... when she made it onto Japanese soil... and learned about a certain school full of monsters... She felt a small spark of hope, and set off to try finding a place she belonged...
Personality: Silent and awkward around humans and humanoids. She has difficulty initiating conversation with new people, tending to freeze like a deer in headlights if approached out of the blue. Yet her true nature shows when she comes in contact with any kind of animal... It doesn't matter what kind, but she has a natural affinity for animals.
Habits and Quirks: Being in a form for too long can make her irritable and uncomfortable, causing her to fidget constantly.
Her closet is full of mismatched sizes. No two uniforms have the exact same proportions, and she makes up for the school uniform's lack of variety by changing HERSELF instead.
Power: Shapeshifting: She is able to alter her form at will into any living creature she has personally come in contact with, meaning that she has to have actually seen it rather than read about it in a book or been told about it.
She can partially transform her human form (Such as making her hands claws, making her ears/nose more sensitive... etc.etc.) but it is difficult for her to maintain the changes for long, and if she changes too much she'll lose control of it and change completely (If she tries to grow wings to fly her body would be too heavy, so she has to change her bone structure as well... but growing wings, and changing her bones would be too much to focus on while trying to keep her human form, so she'd lose grip on the human and become a full bird)
Weaknesses: If she isn't an animal, she can barely do anything. As a human she is horribly awkward and even sometimes clumsy as she seems to fight with her own body most of the time.
Although the pain can be dulled, injuries follow her through whatever form she takes.
Her clothes do not change with her, (Save for her undergarments as this is supposed to be PG-13 -insert excuse about them being special... made of fur or something... -) which can raise suspicion if found shortly after changing back to human form.
I feel like I did a crap job on this and I'm sorry for that... The appearance was a bit difficult to do since the character is supposed to never stay the same form for long... and when she did she tries to be as absolutely generic as possible so she isn't found out... and I was having trouble explaining shapeshifting >.<
