PA - Howkin Ref Sheet

Howkin has primarily pale grey fur, although this fur is very thin and from a distance looks just like skin. She has three scars (two on her leg, one on her arm) that lack fur.

She also has darker fur on parts of her body. On her face she has a few markings, triangles below her eyes, darker eyes, marks above her eyebrows and darker parts of her ears. In addition, the skin around her mouth and eyes and look like lipstick or eyeliner. For most of her body, her darker fur is also longer. She has longer fur on her chest, shoulders, hips and tail, this fur is quite unkempt compared to her hair.

Her hair is the same texture as her longer fur, although she looks after it better. It is roughly waist-legnth, with some of it coming along her chest and a parting in the middle. On special occasion she may tie up and plat it, however most of the time she will leave it loose. She washes it using natural oils found in plants, by the way. Her ears are often part of her hairstyle, and again, usually loose except on special occasions.

Howkin is quite muscular but curvy in her build. She has broad shoulders (though usually hidden by her fur) and a distinct hourglass shape. Although she may be stronger than average, she is even moreso in her transformed state, where she also becomes faster and more alert. She has no problem standing upright, but is actually more conformable lower to the ground and tends to crouch or crawl about a lot, resulting in a bit of clumsiness. She has exceptional senses, specifically hearing and scent, making her quite a good tracker. Although her eyes are alert to sudden movement, she isn’t very good at taking in detail and prefers to touch using the pads on her feet.

For the most part, Howkin wears very little armour, allowing her to transform quickly if needs be. She does not like wearing armour, and formerly had no need to wear anything at all, but Chrom wouldn’t let her into the shepherd without some form of ‘protection’. _{I would refer to a particular manakete at this point, but I’m digressing} The armour is made of a form of leather and is designed so that it can stretch when she transforms.
