Mana Mulier

“Another strange humanoid organism found usually nearby or within the Yosemite National Park. This entity is a dangerous adversary capable of killing prey with extreme proficiency and altering her prey's form into mangled corpses. We decided to categorize her name like that of the Aranea specimen, living in practical coexistence without a turf war. Poor rangers...” 
-Chief officer of Yosemite Security.
== Biology ==
==== History ====
Not much is known of the origins of the macabre creature. She seemingly raised one day, first from rare sightings to now a common threat to the people of Yosemite. It is hypothesized that she originated in a different dimension or planet due to her extremely foreign biology, however nothing has been proven as she has been less than cooperative with humans.
==== Daily Life ====
A rather quiet yet mischievous entity commonly causing chaos purely to watch it develop for entertainment, Mana usually sees fellow organisms, especially humans, as weak (both in physicality and in their mind) prey items to only be fed upon, or serve her. Mana can be hostile at times but usually just views a target in a cold, dignified manner, studying and sizing her opponent usually with a smile on her face to keep them guessing. She can be quite calm and even nice at times, often trying her best to maintain good behavior in order to use her targets effectively. Sometimes, though, she will thoroughly enjoy a fellow human or humanoids company, seeing as they are one of the few creatures to understand her and speak back in a language she seems to understand fondly. She is also very ignorant, often running into the face of danger confidently and has no current romantic or sexual interests or desires, however will tend to tease her prey or other individuals into a false sense of security before securing a lethal attack. While she is often found in the presence of catastrophic events and disasters, her home seems to be somewhere in the Yosemite National Park.
==== Hunting ====
While it is unknown if she is a subspecies of wendigo that has been undiscovered or simply a wendigo specimen with abnormal traits, or even an entirely different specimen, she has an exceedingly feminine appearance that can fool nearly anyone, with only few attributes resembling that of the Wendigo’s of the National Park that being her ears and a pair of very young and small antlers, or spike horns, on her head. Despite being a Wendigo she is actually very clean, especially in her human form as she spends her time pursuing her prey for long periods of time before violently attacking them. She physically has the ability to snap and bend her bones in an irregular manner that allows her to change her form, and can see extremely well at night. Despite being given the “shapeshifter” classification for her abilities, she can only really shift into two forms; her humanoid form, and a Wendigo form. Her humanoid form possesses rather sharp fangs within her mouth and a thin body physique, useful in hiding within her environment and moving extremely fast with her slim body. Because of her thin size she can easily outmaneuver and outrun a human with ease, although a strange blade she always carries seemingly can allow her to cross rifts of unknown power. These attributes are partially shared with her Wendigo form. Her humanoid form also possesses reddish pink hair and deep glowing red that allow her to see proficiently at night, and a small tail, like that of a rabbit or deer. Her Wendigo form differs greatly... [Full description Confidential to Yosemite Research Facility. Please refer to the images displayed on your right for photographic evidence of her Wendigo form.] She is a strange wendigo specimen, as unlike others of her species she does not primarily eat human flesh, but can also eat other woodland creatures. This desire for flesh however, is what drives Wendigo like her. Her need to feed can change her from passive to hostile in almost an instant, and can give her a boost of energy of the sort, causing her to be even more stronger and faster than she normally is. She also loves chocolate as much as raw meat, and might possibly be tamed if given enough.
== Abilities and Weaknesses ==
Regeneration: Like all Wendigo, she regenerates extremely fast from wounds and can grow back lost limbs, at the expense of her hunger and extreme pain. This can be torturous for her. The effects of alcohol will reduce the pain, but also reduce the speed of natural regeneration speed. The more she eats will also aid in natural regeneration.
Body Contortion: An ability where she can snap her bones and twist her flesh in an irregular manner different to that then humans without feeling pain, this proves useful when she is trying to access smaller areas, or utilize her body for some other manner impossible for humans. She can even increase her height or arm length by repositioning her bones to make her taller. This is what she does to enter her secondary form.
Faulty Shapeshifting: Her faulty shapeshifting makes her unable to freely change her body like true shapeshifters, however can still change her body between her Wendigo and mixed human-like form. This shapeshifting allows her to maintain a form that humans won't flee in terror from. She will still retain some attributes related to her Wendigo form, but overall has a humanoid female body physique.
Feeding Frenzy: The Feeding Frenzy mode she possesses is, like sharks, a special feeling she will feel when smelling blood. Once she smells blood she will become animalistic and begin searching for the source, seeking to ingest as much of it as possible. She will become much more faster and aggressive, hastily willing to make her own source if she must. During this, she will also regenerate from wounds much more faster, and pursues prey regardless of injury. She is easier to trap in this state, as she will think irrationally.
Animal Manipulation: She has the ability to speak to the wildlife around her, an ability bestowed upon her as a Wendigo.
Cursed Blade: She wields a strange blade of a steel alloy combined with an unknown element, and remains with unknown origin, appearing with her as she mysteriously arrived. This blade often emits small embers despite not burning, and almost satanic runes decorate the sides of the blade. the very tip of the curled blade possesses an incredible sharpness. This material seems to be a directly opposing element of the musocarbon on Lilith's equipment, as instead of glowing an eternal darkness it emanates a constant glow
Tail: Due to her small tail it remains as a sensitive region of her body. Because of this, it is very possible to prove as a potential weak spot.
Bright flashing Lights: Sudden bright, flashing lights often seem to cause her to freeze up, although it is undetectable if this is out of fear or curiosity. Because of this, she can almost be paralyzed by a sudden bright light, and thus work as a weakness to her.
== Trivia ==
-She loves sweet foods, especially chocolate. Because of this, she will enter an almost drunk like state consuming it, and is even proficient at baking with it. She can be easily swayed and even domesticated with it, however will suppress her urges if ones demands are too unsatisfactory.
-If she is not holding or near her blade, she loses her ability to travel effectively and it's prowess in combat.
-She wears a...rather unique outfit underneath her suit. The purpose for it remains unknown, however it is theorized to be used for further manipulation and/or interrogation. Because of this, theories speculate she is the result of a succubus and a wendigo.
File:Aggression.webp|Mid transformation Mana. Her eyes will sink into her skull and her teeth double their rows, as well as her antlers growing long and sharp. It is best to avoid such a form as violence after transformation will occur for sure!
File:Friendly.webp|The usual form of Mana. Despite her passive form she enjoys studying an organism as a potential adversary, and like a deer will flee almost instantly if in non combative contact with a human or other lifeform.
