Name:She doesn’t exactly have a name for it. Just called the Winged Wolf Form.
Description: Desoto can shape shift into something of a werewolf; short black, silky fur, and enormous black, feathered wings, that are a bit too big for her body mass but she isn’t complaining. This werewolf stands at exactly 6’ in height and weighs as much as a small pony. She receives heightened scenes, as well as being able to smell better, see better, and the jaws are stronger; being able to bite through solid bone like butter and chew up a table in less then 10 minutes.
Desoto is able to walk and run upright in this form with great ease. For many reasons, she keeps her wings tucked close to her back even though they still enormous, seeing as they can get in the way for some things and hinder quick movement. She can also run in this form on all fours and can reach great speeds quickly. Her claws are razor sharp and are often used to propel her forwards at amazing speed when she's at a stand still and also grasp things.
Because of her large size(and her wings), Desoto doesn't transform in buildings with small spaces. If it's large enough to accommodate the size of her wings and her bulk, then its possible.
After great use of this kind of transformation, she must rest for a while. As she put it, “It’s like sprinting the mile ten times straight without stopping once.” So, in other words, she gets very tired after fighting in this form for a prolonged period of time.
The down side is that she sometimes eats things that a human can’t eat, such as a squirrel, bones and all and will change back to a human, giving her one heck of a stomach ache. Like the wolf, she sheds fur and as a bird, molts her feathers occasionally. Desoto is not proud of the fact that people could call her a cannibal because on more than one occasion, she has killed and eaten people she found breaking the law.
Activation: Usually it’s based on instinct on weather or not something is a threat. It is most commonly activated by her anger, the smell or taste of blood, survival instinct or her wish to rip someone apart.
History: At the age of thirteen, Desoto had been playing around with her three friends on the roof of a particularly tall and old barn. She happened to stomp on a rotting piece of wood and fell through the roof. She panicked, thinking she was going to die and suddenly shifted into her winged wolf form to land with a thud but otherwise unharmed except for a few dozen bruises and being sore the hour afterwards.
