+1 winged shapeshifter
So, it's nice to meet all of you! My name is Stareyes, and I specialize in playing obscure book characters and stuff from 90s/00s anime. Today's selection from the former is Jade from The Books of the Raksura series by Martha Wells. She's a Raksura, which are... well, matriarchal forest-dwelling kinda-dragony/gargolyey-or-something shapeshifters. Though in Jade's case, she can only go from 'form with 20-foot wingspan' and 'form without 20-foot wingspan'. (Seriously, Raksura have wings actually look feasible to lift a person, but it's a good thing they can shape-shift them away when not flying.)
Jade is the heir to running a settlement the size of a small town that has been having a run of Interesting Times, and she'd been looking forward to a life where the most exciting things were cleaning out clogged drains, dealing with young idiots, and 'ensuring proper succession' with her consort. She's relatively comfortable with dealing with non-Raksura, but she's usually done it with advice because diplomacy is hard enough when you share a species with people.
If you do know the canon, she's coming in decidedly pre-The Dark Earth Below, because the only thing that will make her more annoyed than being kidnapped is being kidnapped right after giving birth.
Anyway, I'm open to plotting and advice on getting into things as a newbie. My plurk is at![[plurk.com profile]](https://plurk.com/favicon.ico)
