Four Footed But Still A Person - quite a few Kind Wyldkin cannot do what she does: speak. This is an ability that any given person should have, but limited by beaks, fangs, and the like for other four-footed versions of normally upright Kin. However she also has an entirely different view of life from her lower-to-the-ground profile. She can use 'wolfy' skills and senses, in addition to those found among more bipedal people, things which might have been considered crass such as smelling a wall or cocking her head to get a different sound location. She doesn't require magic or shifting to speak, but she does need a touch of that ability that her ancestry has in order to grow thumbs. Her dexterity is still somewhat limited, but she can still hold things, write to a reasonable degree, turn pages in books, or hang on to small items. All of those are very important for spells, and had she been unable to use her thumbs her life would be very different right now

Psionics - from both sides of her family line are strong elemental psionics. The colors on her fur mark her as very different indeed, but both of her parents were green too! And also *very strong!* She has several abilities that get used commonly but also a number lingering in her genetics which might surface eventually, and can be reinforced with some training with great-grandparents and grampa. She does have a basic ability with familial telepathy, knowing when any relative - descendants of those great-grandparents shown - is around, and able to ping them even across dimensions if they're literally those shown.

-- Blood Psionics - she is quite capable of breeding with virtually any other equitably sized or configured person, and this isn't just because she'd be diggin the doggy style. It's because she has a long family history of being able to detect life, sense injuries, healing, and self-alteration. She is partly human, partly animistic Convocation, shapeshifter, and all - but it's her Wyldkin queen ancestor with the strongest ability with Blood that lives on in her. She can detect at a distance up to 50 meters any creature that has 'blood', not other fluids such as xenomorphs or insects or even intelligent machinery might sport. Able to assess an injury on sight with a skill, she can also place paws onto the area and begin mending broken bone, stopping bleeding, and at least briefly healing ulcers or internal injuries. Some are beyond her skill, she does need to know a bit about the breed she's working with first. Alternately she can also negatively affect blood-born creatures, inflicting minor but extremely painful wounds that, while temporary as they will heal within a few hours, may give her or her friends time to get away or formulate different tactics in the field.

-- Life Psionics - In addition to her sensing of blood-based creatures, she can assess their condition in terms of emotion and overall exhaustion, mood, or urgency of a condition. Her dimension hopping power also means she needs to self-regulate for temperature, balance, and perception needs, if she winds up on a world with different conditions or lighting, though these changes if needed (such as 'seeing farther into ultraviolet' or 'growing heavier paw pads from the very cold surface') are temporary and will revert to their normal state once she leaves that dimension.

-- Plant Psionics - her mother is a plant and earth psionicist, a natural talent. While Mint doesn't have much in the way of altering ground or soil, she does have the ability to nurture small plants from seeds or spores, into their fully grown form. She works mainly with fungi and herbs, literally-small plant life rather than sprawling trees or things which would require a lot of space to cultivate such as grains and orchards. She doesn't deal much with water-based plants other than those which float at the surface of ponds or streams. However she can detect all plant life and plant-adjacent life larger than fungi spores at distances up to 50 meters, and under 10 meters with very strong clarity of knowing exactly what they are and what life stage they are in. She can wither and wilt grown plants even outside her chosen types, only to a small area, but that small area can be 'right at this particular tap root' which may topple even the most giant redwood. A severed root will attempt to regrow but time will tell... Mint's ability with herbs is partly responsible for her name, coloration aside, as she can distill and mix them psionically in a sort of telekinetic 'bending', once they're in a format that is appropriate for brewing or rendering. Brings out the most effect in medicinals and flavors, but can also mask their flavors or scents for a ... special surprise attack if you're not expecting to be poisoned. Yes, that's a Lane Ravenheart request, shhh.

Genrehopping and Dimension Movement - many of her ancestors have visited numerous dimensions, not-earths, and planets that are in distant galaxies. She can concentrate on this and knows by just standing in a place for a few moments, where exactly she is in relation to where she had been. 'this earth only its a tiny bit faster on the rotation', or 'it smells like plastic and cleaning fluid oh no this is a cartoon'. She can move at will from dimensions that she knows well enough - such as Dragondeep in her home at Wolfholde or another of their varied vacation homes, to Carramba High, or House Domina - but does require a few hours to fully recover the ability and go home. Combined with her strong perception and knowledge, can understand and notice when someone is out of place, and looks over her students easily spotting the hoppers and reality shifters among them.

Royal Clutter +6 anything that might involve debate, diplomacy, psychology, law, and relations among various factions or social strata, she is quite good at. When the only thing you can really 'do' is talk, rather than stand up or dance with a partner or - you get good at it

Natural Born Psionics +3 though not as staggeringly strong as some in her family, what she does do is tempered by skill and clever usage. Always working out ways that she can solve a problem before anyone notices she's not using hands, that's bonus points

"Look At That, A Talking Dog" +5 she has heard every single joke, but then again on either Dragondeep or Twoarth this is not even an issue. Though on both, it's not fully expected that a four-footer actually speak in intelligible words. That one time she started up a conversation with a non-anthro husky and only realized he wasn't really speaking in English (at least, more than 'you smell good there is food and it's too hot on the beach for me') when he started barking at the local chihuahua... She can pick up on subtle accents and differences in speech patterns, but also this is part of her Howl Caw Scratch class, body language and scents, head tilts and tail flops, everything contributes to how non-bipeds or non-humanoids communicate

Discerning Scents and Senses +3 that nose is not just for show like her gramma's is. Her ears and nose, and to a degree whiskers or guard hairs on her body and tail, are quite sensitive and she has dedicated a good amount of time to memorizing herbs, dirt, pollens and spore scents, anything that a dog or wolf might be able to detect she now has a name, file, and samples of. These are mostly for classes and the ritual magic they might perform, but she also has some sitting around for flavorings and spicing up foods

Multidimensional Instructions +3 When she puts teams together for class events, she makes sure to select folks that are from different backgrounds, be it 'mars and venus and earth' or 'zekira and ketvaozh and the arboreosphere', she knows where they're from and what each type of kid or culture will bring to the table

Can Read Magic And Not Speak It Out Loud By Mistake +3 In all her years of watching mages on Dragondeep and some on Twoarth make this horrible error in judgement, at least she doesn't try sounding out words that are unfamiliar when they're from a book of spells...

Sometimes She Pretends Though +3 Speaking in barks and whines, using those eyebrows and ears to wheedle something special from a kitchen or a passing tourist... Oh heck yes you have a bacon cheeseburger. Can has? Never let it be said she doesn't enjoy having a little fun!
