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 shapeshifting her body with weak changes. We decided to categorize her name like that of the Aranea specimen. Another odd anomaly...”*

## Biology

#### ***Daily Life***

A rather sarcastic and arrogant specimen with the ability to shapeshift, Mana usually sees people as weak minded prey items to only be fed upon, or using them to do things for her. Mana can be hostile at times but usually just views a target in great disgust and if she can’t kill them, will flee as to not waste her time. She can be quite selfish at times, often trying her best to see humans as equals but still considering herself better. Sometimes, though, she will enjoy a humans company, seeing as they are one of the few creatures to understand her and speak back. She is also very ignorant, often running into the face of danger confidently and has no romantic interests, only acting so to certain humans in order to catch her prey. She is often seen walking on human trails acting lost and luring people to help her. This is usually the last person the victim will help.

#### ***Hunting***

This Wendigo-like creature has an exceedingly feminine appearance that can fool nearly anyone with her shape-shifted appearance, with only few attributes resembling that of the Wendigo’s of the National Park. Despite being a Wendigo she is actually very clean, especially in her human form as she spends her time pursuing small children and teenagers as prey by lying to them and using her body to make her seem harmless, and trick her prey into a false sense of security. She physically has the ability to snap and bend her bones in an irregular manner, and see extremely well at night. She often has turf wars with Aranea Mulier despite being “sisters” of the same classification. 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 hunting frail prey by ripping at them and moving extremely fast with her slim body. Because of her thin size she can easily outmaneuver and outrun a human with ease. These attributes are partially shared with her Wendigo form. Her humanoid form also possesses long curling antlers and shining golden eyes that allow her to see very well at night, and a long winding animal-like tail. Her Wendigo form differs greatly…so it’s [`description remains invalid. Please refer to the images displayed on your right for photographic evidence of her Wendigo form.]` She also possesses the natural desire of a traditional wendigo; a rather thin body physique from starvation and a near insatiable hunger for human flesh. This desire for flesh 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 will occasionally feed on other sources of meat and even human foods, but mostly loves the taste of human meat. She also loves chocolate as much as human meat, and can easily be tamed if given enough.

## **Anatomical Weaknesses and Strengths**

**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.

**Body Contortion**: An ability where she can snap her bones and body 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.

**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 remain slightly undetected among humans, however can grow carefree and often say things that prove she is the shapeshifting monstrosity. 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 animals around her, an ability bestowed upon her as a Wendigo.
