>You send out a wave of arrowheads. She takes a step and to the right from them, then further back, but she is not quite so swift as she was, and a few clip her in the arm as she tries to move around them, she grits her teeth to avoid crying out.

For reference, I've personally no idea what it means, aside from possibly a reference to Nue, but I feel it's something that can wait until she's calmed down a bit and not still trying to eat us and/or run away. An internal check isn't a problem, though, of course.

//So changeling may be referring to something or someone that can alter something at their will ?

//Or the more generic Seelie/youkai/whatever.
