Name;; Kira 'Owl' Bengal (Doesn’t have a second name...)
Age;; Fourteen
Class;; Freshman
Gender;; Female
Date of birth;; Sixth of April, 1992
Appearance;;
Kira has bright green eyes, and wears gigantic glasses which give the impression her eyes are far too large for her head. This was how she earned the nick-name ‘Owl ’, which most people refer to her as. Her dark-brown hair almost always has twigs and leaves tangled within it, for she is now outside more often, though enjoys sitting under or in trees and reading. It is short, and looks as though she hasn’t combed it in a month, which it probably hasn’t.
Her skin is rather pale, and has a few scratches upon it from recently falling out of a tree and cutting herself on the branches. She is extremely short for her age, and often is mistaken for a six year old girl because of it, assuming she is won’t bother her, though insulting her about it will usually earn you an insult on your intelligence. Being short, she also lacks physical strength, though is hard to injure anyway, because she is quick on her feet and extremely agile.
The main noticeable difference besides her height from a human is her hands. They are missing the opposable thumb, and the fingers are short, stubby and paw-like. Due to this deformity, Kira often can be seen on the computer, seeing as it is easier and quicker for her to type then to write. However, years of practice have given her the ability to still hold a pencil and use it.
She is often wearing a large, over-grown cloak, well to her anyway, which covers most of her features, and is rarely seen wearing something different. It is rather old and has a few rips and such here and there, and thousands of pockets, some hidden and some not.
Personality;; Kira is extremely intelligent, and usually receives high marks in class, providing it did not involve PE. Being extremely short in stature, she has become a rather shy person, and doesn't really talk that much other then answering questions in class. She has a tendency to day dream outside of class, and can often be caught starring at some random object, caught in her thoughts.
However, around the time of the full moon, she becomes more jumpy and tends to mutter to herself, getting angry over little things which end in her trying to bite someone’s hand off. Though yet to change, she eventually will morph at full moon, but is unaware of this and doesn’t even know she is a lycanthrope.
History;;
Kira Bengal, daughter of Mia and Dan Bengal, single child.
At a young age, her height difference did not show very much, though even then she didn’t play with the others of her age and usually could be found inside reading a book. The was a very effective way of getting her to come out though, simply by informing her that a flock of dragons were flying overhead, she would suddenly appear beside you and be gazing up at the sky, disappointed when she realised there was none.
Her parents both worked at a small zoo, her mother being the medic for the place and her father being one of the zoo keepers, which was how they met in the first place. This was where Kira received a few of her forms, when she was occasionally allowed to play with the younger or more docile creatures. However, it wasn’t until later did the interaction with the animals come into use.
She lived a normal life, though by the age of six, it was clear she wasn’t going to grow much bigger. When she reached the age of thirteen, near the beginning of her last year in a primary school, it was revealed that she was a gifted while in class.
She was reading an extremely detailed book, one on people slowly turning into animals through witchcraft. As she read the words, she imagined herself as the one in the book, as she often did, only to find that she had begun morphing. It was nothing major, just a slight sprouting of fur, and the fact that her deformed hands were real paws at the moment. Luckily, this change went unnoticed by the class, and Kira managed to morph back soon afterwards.
Now, she is attending Trinito’s School for the Gifted at the age of fourteen. Her first year of high school was at a normal school until she figured out the basics to her gift, and was then moved to Trinito’s in her second year.
It was here that she found and befriended Kiki, a talking rat from the Science Labs. If questioned on her own gift, the rat claims she was supposed to be a creature for the psychics and empaths to practice their abilities on, though at one stage the practice lesson backfired on one of the students, and Kiki gained a large amount of intelligence.
Relations;;
Mother- Mia Bengal, Alive, No powers, Zoo Vet.
Father- Dan Bengal, Alive, Lycanthrope (Can control his wolf side though), Zoo Keeper.
Pet- Kiki, an albino rat that can communicate verbally and has the intelligence of a human. The two are rarely seen without each other, they are extremely close, but rather different personality wise.
Hobbies;; Art, both digital and traditional, Reading, Day-Dreaming, Tripping over invisible items.
Extracurriculars;; None at the moment.(I don’t know what’s open, so I might wait for now until I can find out…)
Dorm Number;; Dorm 209. (Open for Room-mates, if they’re allowed.)
Powers;;
Shapeshifting- Kira is able to shapeshift, though this is only after she is able to ‘soak up the DNA’ as such. (Yeah, Animorphs reference…) After this, she then has to practice with each morph until she is eventually able to completely morph the creature. She can only practice one morph at a time, so only has a few animal forms at her disposal.
Telepathy- Can only use this when morphing an animal unable to speak. She can not read minds with it, only communicate. This is controlled by the amount of energy she has though, and if she is tired, it is harder to hear or she may even be unable to ‘speak’.
Lycanthropy- Kira is a werewolf, though is unaware of this, and has not yet morphed into one at full moon. She probably will eventually, though currently only gets more snappish and cranky.
Drawbacks;;
Fire- Kira is pyrophobic, due to many animals not liking fire, and will not hesitate to squeal and run out of the room should something catch alight.
Silver- Being a werewolf, even silver paint will burn her greatly, where as contact with pure silver can even render her unconscious.
Physical Strength- She doesn’t have much strength in her human form, and usually is squished into walls because of it during fights between other gifteds.
Lack of opposable thumbs- Speaks for itself; she has trouble picking up various items.
Anything else;; Er…Might list the morphs Kira has here….
Owl- Completely
Polar Bear- Almost completed, is still the same size as a human when she morphs.
Rat- Completely
Praying Mantis- Half Completed (Working on this one)
Wolf- Came with the lycanthrope infection, though Kira is unaware of this morph.
Werewolf- Again, one Kira is unaware of.
