Human Form
Nahlah is a shapeshifter by birth, her origin animal being a griffin and as such her pure form is also a griffin. She has 3 forms: Pure Griffin, Anthro (Were) Form and Human.

In human form, Nahlah stands 5'11 with dark Auburn (Reddish brown) hair, though when she spends alot of time in the sun, it lightens substantially in color. Her hair is just a bit longer than shoulder length and wavy. She has long Brown and red splotched wings, with a wingspan of 13ft, hidden within her feathers of each wing is a solitary 6 inch sickle talon that can pierce metal (this trait is in all 3 forms.) Her skin color is pale, as it does not see much sun as she usually spends most of her time in either of her two other forms. Her eyes are dark grey, like the sky during a storm.

Flying
Nahlah is a master of the skies in all 3 forms. She has learned to fly in all forms from her family, having lived with them for the first 25 years of her life until she was deemed an adult. As an adept flyer, Nahlah knows how to use her body as a weapon in the air.

Archery
Nahlah's preferred weapon, outside of herself is a bow and arrows. With sharp eyesight her ability to aim is very good. Scaled forearms in her griffin form are great for pulling a bowstring taunt, the string against flesh doesn't hurt like it can when in human form.

Eyesight, sense of smell and hearing
Like eagle brethren, Nahlah can see prey just shy of a mile away and she can smell scents, especially of dead animals slightly over a mile away. She also has keen hearing, the deeper the sounds the further away she can hear them. She has near perfect eyesight in the darkness in her pure form as do most of her kind and can sense heat signatures to some extent, though she has to be pretty close to whatever she is seeking out to do so.

Speed
Nahlah can run roughly 40 mph on the ground. When she dives, wings tucked from high in the air she can hit speeds upwards of 150mph (golden eagles can hit upwards of 200mph, I researched it for validity...)

Speech
Nahlah has learned a few different languages though she is only considered proficient in human and griffin. She is able to speak telepathically through most "Intelligent" animals and can read thoughts.

Having been raised around her kind, she is pretty self assured and can be quiet the brat. She knows her strength and her worth . She tries not to be rude though sometimes she comes across as such, especially when talking to non-shifters because she is not too familiar with some of their customs and such.

She has been raised as a warrior for her clan, so she sees herself as strong and intelligent. She spent the first 25 years of her life learning to fight and hunt.
