Powers

Triptych Shapeshifting, as below; note that forms and spirits add innate +2 to Clusters

Anti-Rumple, cool goes to 7 when needed, and even though she's quite weird in ways, that gives off an impressive and eye-catching feel

Clusters 9

*Offense and Defense +4 If it needs to be hit, tackled, tripped, caught, or alternately avoided, soaked, taking-it-for-the-teamed, she is your gal. Even if she likes taking her shifts slowly, she can very rapidly change from a biped into a bird or tiger and if she's on four paws you are going to get tackled so just learn to live with it

*Shapeshift +3 She can shift herself in clever ways, but also she knows how to recognize other shifters, and actually can help if someone is stuck or having difficulty when they know they should be able to do it too

Skills 18

Sports Rules Playbook +3 Even if she's a natural at fighting or doing that physical aspect of life in the wilderness, she is also very good with rules and regs for most sporting types. Her favorites are football, rugby, team-based full-contact sports are her go-to. But that doesn't mean she neglects badminton or ping pong!

Identify Shifter Type +3 Being from Triptych Earth means knowing your shift and species! Everyone she knows from home (and some that aren't 'from there' but are still Triptych) has a distinctive look, smell, way of moving, and she's got a very good eye (thanks to her Harrier form) for those things. She can also sense when there is a non-human or non-biological form, such as metal-shifters or even holograms or Vortal/Magical energies involved. After all, the Trippers aren't just physical shifters (like the Zekirans, she notes) they have a spiritual component.

Not A Fish? That Can Also Be Sushi +3 She's a shellfish. She can sense shellfish. And eat them, too! Or insects, reptiles, birds and eggs, mammals large and small... Doesn't matter to her palate, she likes it raw but with a nice side of rice and seaweed or algae. Though she's not as nimble finger-wise as some, she's still very apt to arrange meals into very pleasing shapes, and knows the right meats to put together with spices and sauces. She loves to eat. So, there's also that. She will suck down as much sushi as any given anime character at a feast!

Knacks 3

Venus In The Clam Shell Now Featuring Fur +3/-3 Jasinder's shapeshifting sometimes looks more like a weird "AI-Art" morph between a woman and an open clam shell. And yes, yes, she does keep that shell. Even as a human-form. You guess where it is. Go ahead. Guess. Some people are a little turned off by any of this, and with good reason. One is, "will the tiger eat me" and another "what is that odd smell?" But she doesn't smell 'bad', just 'odd'... Though if you have a shellfish allergy you might want to stay clear

Surprising Eye For Pretty Things +3 Even if her own shell is a bit dull and grey, the other two thirds, technically three quarters, of her persona is quite colorful, and she understands color theory as well as what a person might want out of their visuals. Also she can 'spot a bargain' when at the mall, but that's literal - she has incredibly good eyesight even without the bird or cat features...
