Story So Far: She was once Romcha, a powerful Beast/Demon hybrid (a draconic raptor) that lived on Cisum. She was seen as proud, beautiful, an accomplished huntress, and most of all, respected. One day, she was cursed and her soul was sent to Earth to be reborn as a human. She grew up in a male body, hating it, and her human family was a bunch of narcissists who never attempted to understand or emotionally support her. This led to her avoiding them and trying to live her own life, with much stumbling on the way. By the time she hits 40, she’s fully transitioned to a woman, in great shape, and has a simple job, living out of an RV van. One day, she’s walking home when she stumbles on something bizarre: weird energy swirling in the air. When she gets close, it expands into a portal and sucks her in. She falls and lands into bushes, which thankfully cushion her fall, leaving her somewhat bruised at the worst. When she gets up to rub the back of her neck, she looks around and then catches that she looks different. Her hands and feet are now clawed, and her feet are digitigrade and have ripped out of her shoes. She now has a tail, horns, wings, and sharp teeth, and her hair and eyes are the color of Shadowfire with her pupils being slit. She looks in awe, aware she had species dysphoria her whole life, but never realized how good it would feel to be how she’s supposed to be… or at least, closer to it. She learns she is incomplete, unable to shift into her true form fully. She runs into someone who checks on her, and after she tells them what happened, they offer to go on a journey with her to get her beast form back. She accepts the offer and thus begins her journey on Cisum.

While she loves fighting, she prefers to solve problems with empathy first. She’s also very much interested in the elemental and spiritual aspects of Cisum. Although she appears reserved, she is quite curious about the denizens of Cisum, wanting to know everything, but trying not to look like a wide-eyed girl about it.

She has been at least once or twice shamed for her diet of preying on animals, and tells them that predators are a necessity for an ecosystem to function. She would empathize with Mao deeply if she ever met him, but unlike Mao, she is not as crass or grumpy, though she is every bit as bitter and feeling cheated as he is.
