Heather's appearance is non-static but she has a clear default form that she reverts to when not in the field.  Like most of her family, she is naturally slim, but she lack the well defined bone structure of most of her siblings, with rounded cheeks.  Her nose is also much less defined than her siblings, seeming to sit more shallowly over thin lips.

Her hair is usually grown long, but can change on a whim.  Heather still enjoys playing with color and texture at will, though often in ways that avoid revealing her powers to her peers and the public.

Costume: She dresses in a somewhat stylized hooded vest with fingerless gauntlets, purple tights and athletic shoes.  She often shifts her hair to a dark violet as well.  She creates an purple eye-mask effect by shifting her skin pigmentation.


Heather is a nerd. Mildly awkward in some situations, she mimics her brother by playing at confidence that, in most situations she simply lacks.  The conservative nature of community growing up did not help given her sexuality, and beyond that, its small size made it difficult to find people that shared her hobbies.

Still, when once she is close to someone, she is genuinely warm and, occasionally, downright silly.

The nature of her superpowers, despite no direct affect on her mind, detaches her from the world around her.   This frees her to make decisions that, in the cold light of day, might be labelled monstrous.  It is a struggle to remember that she is still herself, and that her actions are still hers.


Born in Upstate New York to middle class parents, Heather had a fairly conventional upbringing.  However, from an early age, she knew she was a metahuman.  When she was young, she learned to amuse herself by reshaping her face while looking in a mirror.  She would set outlandish goals and push the bounds of what made sense.  At the time, this was her special thing that she did not have to share...

Like her other siblings, she was a remarkably high achiever.  However, Heather was a more classical nerd whereas Sarah and Cory were also star athletes.  Still, being a legacy to the school's elite, she was protected from bullying.

When her sister, Sarah began looking into her Criminal Justice career, she began to insist that her sisters knew how to protect themselves.  Sarah did comment that the reason for this had to do with shifts in metahuman culture but it was a bit of an open secret.  Obviously, this strained their relationship...

She did remain quite close to her brother, Corey.  He was quite open-minded about metas.  He proved equally open minded when she admitted she was a lesbian, cementing his role as her most trusted confidant.  This made his eventual coma a severe blow that left her more shaken than she had expected to admit.

She had been planning to come out, both as a meta and as a lesbian, three days before Corey disappeared.  She quickly came to blame her family, closing off to them.  She would continue to study, while also honing the martial techniques she had picked up from her brother and sister.

She now attends college online, freeing up more time for her superhero persona.

Shapeshifting: Heather has the ability to change her form by reshaping her tissue, from her skeleton out to her skin and even her hair.  She can replicate the form of anything sufficiently human, creating an impenetrable disguise.  She can even modify the texture of her skin, allowing it to replicate the form of clothing, such as in the case of her costume.

Shift-Weapons: Living up to her name, Feral is able to shift in ways that make her more dangerous

• Tooth & Claw: Heather is able to lengthen and harden her teeth and nails into razor sharp weapons.  Though able to deal severe soft tissue damage, they lack range, used solely during grappling.
  

Minor Healing: Heather is able to repair most superficial physical injuries through the application of her shapeshifting power.  Through force of will, she can close wounds and potentially regrow limbs with existing biomass but she must be both conscious and alive to do so.


Act of Will: Heather's powers are all controlled actively.  She cannot take any other action while shifting, making places of cover ideal both before and after combat.

Biomass: Matter cannot be created from nothing or turned into nothing.  Similarly, Heather is not able to change her mass, limiting any shift in size to still maintain her current mass and weight.

Familiar Forms: For a mix of personal and neurological reasons, Heather is unable to adopt forms and features that are not recognizably human.


None

None

Recognizable: Heather bears a certain resemblance to her siblings.  Those who know either Sarah or Corey could well recognize her as part of the family in her default form.

Grappler: Heather is a competent wrestler, thanks to some instruction from her brother.  She can combine these techniques with her innate weapons for a style of combat all her own

Traceur: Trained in Parkour much as her brother was, Heather can navigate along the secret pathways reserved for the few dumb enough to go looking for them.
