Winter Royal Lady |
From her appearance - whites with soft blues and pale white-blonde hair, to her quiet ways, most would likely consider Snowbird to be cold and unfeeling, and yet the exact opposite is true for the demi-goddess. She feels quite a lot. |
Animalistic Nurturing |
Because of her quite personal ties to the animals she becomes - such as taking on their traits, Showbird champions enviromental and preservation causes, and cares deeply about the environment and man's impact upon it. |
Human Goddess |
Heavy is the burden of responsibility upon Narya. She knows eventually she will have to follow in her mother Nelvanna's footsteps and become a proper Goddess of the North. However, for now, she's trying to etch out something of a bit of humanity in herself, to understand, to fit in. Her time on Earth as a human is limited by cosmic standards, and she's also coming to terms with this idea and intent on cramming as much of the human experience into her as she can. She wants to fall in love, have a fight, eat a corn dog, try to drive a car.. everything that humanity takes for granted she wants to try. However, in her own occasional naiveity, she forgets sometimes to have truly human reactions to things, such as being barefoot in the snow is supposed to make her cold. |
Human Shape |
Snowbird is able to take the shape of a human female who has pale blonde hair and blue eyes. |
Animal Shapeshifting |
Snowbird has the ability to assume the shape of any Northern Canadian (Artic) animal. With the animal form, she also obtains any ability that the animal can do; e.g. Echolocation for a bat, keen senses for a wolf, swimming for a seal, etc. One telling trait for her in animal form is the creature is always white. She's taken many different forms, including one of a white Sasquatch. |
Mystical Senses |
As Snowbird, she has special senses that allows her to pick up on certain things such as the presence of magical energies, the rupture of a magical fold, and even the presence of a great evil. |
Hand-to-hand |
Snowbird was taught to be a fairly decent hand-to-hand fighter. |
Nature Survivalist |
With Snowbird's link to the Earth and the teachings of the shaman, she knows how to live and survive in the outdoors, including the northern artic areas. |
Flight |
In her Snowbird form, she is quick, easily going subsonic speeds (Benchmark 9). However, she generally takes the form of a great owl for flight, putting her speed around 60mph. (Benchmark 7) |
Limited Postcognition |
With concentration, Snowbird is able to see events around her current location up to six hours in the past. |
Regeneration |
Snowbird regenerates her wounds over time. Small wounds may only take a few minutes, more severe ones can take hours or days. (BM: 7). However, if she is in Canada, this becomes a near instanteneous process (BM: 10). |
Superhuman Stats |
When Snowbird is in her natural form, she has superhuman levels in strength, agility, reflexes, stamina and durability.
For Strength, in Snowbird form, she can lift up to 1 Ton (Benchmark 7). In larger forms she may lift more. Her largest shape to date is Sasquatch, who can lift 75Tons (Benchmark 11).
For Agility, Reflexes, Stamina and Durability, she is on par with the Asgardians. (Benchmark 10)
Her Human form is of average normal stats in these regards. (Benchmark 2)
Her Animal forms all differ depending on their size. Smaller than Human would likely have human stats. Larger than human, would have higher. |
Inua Lore |
Brought up within the beliefs of the Inua, Snowbird has a deep understanding of the their native customs, beliefs, and magicks. |
Multi-lingual |
Snowbird speaks several languages fluently - French, English, Canadian First Nations, Inua, and Great Beasts. |
Occult Lore |
Because of her unique birthright, Snowbird is an expert when it comes to Innuit, Canadian, and Arctic lore. She knows of the Great Beasts she is eventually supposed to battle, her mother, and other deep legends of the Wilds. |
Rcmp Training |
Snowbird, as Anne, trained and became an officer with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police. She has all skills that one would need to do this job. |
Teleportation Resistant |
Snowbird cannot be teleported by tech or supernatural abilities. Because of who she is, she is resistant to any attempts. |
Family: Because of her heritage, she has contact with not only her mother, Nelvanna, but the other Northern Gods as well. _
Michael Twoyoungmen: he is the Shaman who was not only the midwife to her birthing, but has served as mentor and sort of father-figure to her. ||
Resources |
During her time with the RCMP, Anne put most of her paycheck into a savings account since she lived with Michael. She has that money to fall back on now if/when needed, plus pay she might make further as a general secretary in the city. |
Animalism |
After about an hour or two of being in an animal form or under strong animal emotions (bloodlust of a predator, fear in a prey animal), Snowbird's personality, thoughts and control will be lost until such time as the animal emotions subside and she can regain control and/or shift back to her own body. If she stays too long in animal form (over 12hrs), then she runs the very real risk of being stuck in that form and loosing herself to the animal's psyche. Rumor is that there is a ritual that could change her back. Maybe. |
Taxing Transformation |
While Snowbird can shapeshift from one animal form to another animal form, it is extremely taxing on her. Generally, she will return to her natural form before taking on another. |
Unable To Shrink |
While Snowbird can take on the shape of any animal, if it is smaller than a human in mass, the animal will not be small, but also contain a human's mass. She has no limit on growing bigger, oddly enough. So, if she shapeshifted to the form of a domestic cat, it would be the size of bobcat or so. A cardinal would be even bigger than an emu that could fly. |
Healing Downside |
Snowbird's instant healing is only available to her in her natural form. When in human or animal, she /has/ to be able to transform back to Snowbird to take advantage of this ability. |
Great Beasts |
It is her destiny as foretold by her mother's vision, that Snowbird will be the one to do battle against these evil mystical beasts within Canada. This makes them all her archenemies, and it is her duty, to find a way to kill them to save Canada (and the world, perhaps) from them. |
Medicine Bag Necklace |
When Michael first performed a ritual to bind her to Earth (was to be plane) upon her birth, they would learn that it was not quite right - it limited her to the Earth within Canada's borders. Leaving the country had dire consequences - she aged, got weak and sick, and lost her powers - it was unknown if she might have died. Michael redid the ritual, tweaked it, so that she is no longer contained within the borders…. as long as she keeps a small amount of dirt from home home with her. It is found tucked into a small leather medicine bag pendant worn on a leather thong around her neck and tucked into her clothing. If the necklace is taken away from her, she looses her powers, becomes sick/weak, and begins to age rapidly, needing to be taken to Canada ASAP or rick possible death. |
