>"The latter, I suppose. If she's already fighting us, I doubt there's much room for ambiguity."
>"Her natural form is that of a physically attractive female in her mid to late 20s, by human standards. Her skin is a powder grey color, like silver dust, and she has black wings, bat-like in form, and a tail that ends in a shape similar to that of a diamond. She has slightly longer than shoulder length black hair, though it may have grown since the last time I saw her. Normally her height is 5'10, but this not constant. She will be wearing expensive clothing, no matter what form she is currently in, but she tends not to wear jewelery. She is too vain for jewelery, believing her natural beauty is near perfection."
>"Is that something we can use?" White Rose asks him. "Like, distract her with compliments?"
>"Possibly, but it is dangerous to do so. She is too vain not to be distracted by obvious flattery, but intelligent enough to see through the most obvious kinds. And she only accepts flattery from opponents after she already has the advantage, and never enough to distract her enough to make any difference. I would say to try it only if you are desperate."
>White Rose nods. "Got it."
>Razorclaw continues answering your question, "When she wants to blend into human society, the form she uses is that of a mixed race youkai. That way she does not disguise her wings or tail, only her skin color. Her hair color is usually blonde but she uses white hair as well sometimes, and never longer than her natural form's length. Her wings and tail will also be a different color than they are naturally. Usually they're the same color as her current hair, or at least close to it. She tends to be shorter in human form, if only by a few inches. Her pride prevents her from shrinking herself too much."
>"What does pride have to do with height?" White Rose asks.
>The corners of the lion's lips pull back into an expression approximating a human grin. You've seen Rin do that often enough to be used to it, but on a lion, even one as pretty as Razorclaw is, the effect is scary. "She can't stand not to be shorter than the people around her for long. She is better than them, you see, and enjoys looking down on people. The only time she shrinks herself for any length of time is when she's abusing someone very tall, if she thinks it will hurt them more." Rin clenches her teeth and lets out a quiet hiss. "You've known people like that?" Razorclaw asks, the gentleness of his voice belying the power of his form.
>"Yeah, I have." Rin answers flatly. "Too many."
>"Be pleased that there will be one less of them by the end of the day. You survived the Stuntrons and the Champions. Do not underestimate Semitur, and you will survive her, too."
