Beast Factor

Beast Factor was a power that Michiru gained from obtain Beastman blood for an operation a year before the events of the story.

It serves as Michiru's main power.

## Usage

As the result of receiving her Beast Factor through artificial means (blood transfusion with a Beast Factor-laced blood), Michiru is not an ordinary Human or Beastman, displaying the ability to take on the form of different species and also many unusual abilities not associated with any known species.

She is shown to at first unintentionally activate these powers but later on she is shown to be able to control her powers at will.

## Abilities

* **Shapeshifting**: As with regular beastmen, Michiru can shapeshift between her human form and base beastmen form (blue tanuki) as well as turning her body parts into that of other animals to suit her needs:

* **Bunny Ears:** Michiru's ears can elongate resembling rabbit's ears allowing her to hear conversations from far away or listen through walls or doors.
* **Bird Beak:** Michiru can turn her muzzle/snout into a bird's beak allowing her to amplify her voice. She also appears to gain tail feathers as well as a crest on her head similar to a rooster's.
* **Gorilla Punch:** While preparing to throw an object or throw a punch, Michiru's arms enlarge to a massive size due to an increase in muscle mass, easily allowing her to overpower opponents or create bursts of wind with thrown objects. Her throws at least with a baseball seem to be able to dent and break concrete.
* **Cheetah Speed:** Michiru's lower half of her body turns into a cheetah's, replacing her legs and tail with the agile predator's, allowing for an incredible burst of speeds. The tail is probably there to act as a real cheetah's tail in the wild would as a way to counteract body torsion while she is turning at high speeds keeping her balanced.
* **Wings:** Michiru's arms can transform into wings which can grow in size when needed, the tail and legs acquire bird characteristics. When she first increased the size of her wings, she managed to raise and fly with Hiromu Yaba in the form of a beastman (Nirvasyl) and Shirou.
* **Chameleon Camouflage:** Michiru can turn her fur into a chameleon's skin and use it to blend in. Her clothes are unaffected by that ability.
* **Wolf's sense of smell:** Michiru can shapeshift her head into a wolf's head and gain a sense of smell as keen as Shirou's.
* **Hawk Eyes:** Michiru's eyes change to help increase her view distance and sharpening her focus by changing her eyes into hawk eyes.

## **Special Abilities**

* **Long Arms:** Michiru can extend and bend her arms to reach faraway objects.
* **Expandable Tail:** Michiru's tail can expand to an enormous size easily weighing her down or use as a shield by engulfing around herself and others to protect them from harm.
* **Pseudo-Photokinesis**: Whenever Michiru shapeshifts any of her body parts or shifting between her human form and basic beastmen form, the process often accompanied by flashes of light, particularly while being distressed. When she expanded her tail to stop Shirou and the attacking terrorists to stop fighting, Michiru unknowingly generated a flash of bright light that blinds everyone present. The light itself is produced by excess energy generated by her beast factor.

## Weakness

This power requires a lot of concentration to master this power and sometime Michiru gains new animal form she wasn't even aware like her recent rabbit legs.

There are times where her powers are so unpredictable that Michiru can't control it.
