Appearance:
Kasikedi overall has a more slim build, made to be more agile rather than strong and ferocious. She's about the average size of a wolf, but that doesn't hinder her ability to be a fast forest dog. She reaches the height of twenty-eight inches at the shoulder, and the length of six feet from her nose to the tip of her tail. She weighs about sixty-nine pounds on a full belly but about sixty-seven pounds when she hasn't eaten in two days.
Kasikedi's coat is beautiful. Her thin fur is long and silky, feeling very soft and lustrous to touch. Her coat is very full, making up for her thin fur. It clusters together all over her, which makes it difficult to feel her skin underneath her fur because it's so full. Her primary coat color is a beautiful creamy color, which covers almost her entire body. On her muzzle, the creamy color fades into a white color, that travels around her lips and her nose, but still keeps the swift, but gentle fade into the white. Around her nose, the fade is a more gray color, which this gray color extends on the top of her snout for about two centimeters long before stopping. This white color from her muzzle doesn't continue down her throat, but leaves a few flecks of white here and there. Around her shoulders, the fur on her neck turns white as if it's like marking where her shoulders are and where her neck is. Above her shoulders is a huge patch of white fur, where a stripe of gray fur parts the middle of it. This white color continues around her front legs and also down her spine. Her sides and back have a smokey ash kind of effect on them, where cream fur still slightly remains, but it's mostly covered by an ash gray color. This blanket avoids the fur of her hind legs. Her tail stays the same creamy color, but the tip has a bit of black fur.
Kasi has barely any scars, with her main scars being on her paw pads from when she steps on sticks and painful rocks.
Kasikedi's voice has more of a calm and soft tone, with a sweet pitch to it that makes her voice a little bit louder. She can hum in a very calming way, which is great for making pups go to bed. She can't sing out loud good for her life if she had to.
Appearance after Power Gain:
After gaining her powers, Ẹranko will turn into a full beast.
While Ẹranko might have turned into a cat, her overall height is the same. She remains the same twenty-eight inches tall at her shoulder, but she shortens in length just due to her tail, and ends up being only five feet and two inches long after. Now her build definitely changed quite a bit. She gains a more robust and strong build compared to her original build. She also will weigh a bit more due to the change in her build. Her heavier and stronger build will definitely help her gain some confidence in herself and her abilities.
Ẹranko's fur is more of short and thin kind of fur. The tips of her fur will poke anything it touches, and is so short that it barely even budges when brushing up against something or someone. Sometimes this can be helpful, as it can help her be stealthier, but this also makes her more vulnerable to cold climates. Her primary coat color is copper, making her able to blend in with the shadows and branches of the trees quite well. Her most noticeable and first pattern is her rosette spots. These spots come in two colors, mocha and midnight black. The mocha spots cover her cheeks, the sides of her neck, around her ribs, and down the sides of her front legs that are facing outwards. The black spots cover the top of her head, the back of her neck, her back, and down her hind legs and tail. These spots help in stealth, since with them, she can be looked over because she looks like branches. Her next pattern is just white underfur. Her bottom jaw has white fur, that spreads to her muzzle, and then down her throat area, and on her chest, and underneath her front legs. Her paws are also white furred. Her hind legs don't have this pattern. The tip of her tail has a tuft of white fur on it, and the tip of her ears have a tuft of black fur on them, similar to a lynx. Her colors overall are somewhat similar to her original appearance's colors, but a bit darkened.
Ẹranko will gain a suit of armor, that looks somewhat like a saddle more than anything. It's rims will be made out of utahraptor bones, and her shoulders will have the skull of some kind of small-sized herbivore attached to the leather flap that covers her shoulder. There will be a huge chunk of some kind of animal's skin attached to her back, on held onto her by a rope that is tied around her waist like a belt. This rope also holds two bones against her sides, more around the top of her sides. Another rope keeps the top part against her her sides, and wraps around her chest. Above her hind legs is another bone that attaches to the two bones on her sides with another rope to tie them together. This kind of makes a soft little bed on top of her, definitely not for bed purposes, but can be used as one by small creatures. Around her neck is another piece of pelt that kind of guards her from being clawed there, and gives her a fake mane. If you were wondering, yes, she can remove this armor is she wishes to.
Personality:
Before:
Kind | Sweet | Caring | Courteous | Selfless | | Thoughtful | Very overprotective of family | Empathetic | Calming | Reserved | Quiet | Humble | Modest | Cowardly | Not very confident
Kasikedi is a very kind and sweet wolf. She cares about her packmates that she barely knows enough to consider an acquaintance, which is taking the trait of "caring" to the extreme. Kasi considers everyone in her pack family in some way, even if they aren't. Sometimes, she'll consider her close friends brothers and sisters, even if they aren't related in any way. Kasikedi always makes sure others are happy before taking care of herself, meaning that she lets everyone eat first and never invades another's personal space intentionally. She always thinking of others before herself, and her mind automatically defaults to worry about others first. She can easily understand how other wolves feel when they tell her how they feel, and is able to picture what it would feel like if she was in their position, which helps her ability to be comforting.
Kasikedi is very reserved, but that doesn't mean she is difficult to approach. She prefers to not speak as much, and keep her secrets to herself only. She's not ashamed of anything about herself, she just prefers to not talk to other about it in case they don't want to hear it. She's also very humble, and barely boasts about her achievements just so no one misinterprets her as a self-absorbed wolf. She's always worried about what others will think of her. Kasikedi is very cowardly. She's very afraid of losing in a fight or failing a hunt. She never discusses her opinion or feelings out of fear that others won't care or if they'll look at her like she just grew a second tail in front of them. A fear constantly echos in the back of her mind, which is just the fear of judgment from others. She fears it more than death, and would probably rather die than be the deranged one in the pack that everyone hates. She thinks living a long lonely life is worse than death, and in her mind, what's the point of living if it's miserable? She always thinks everyone should live life to it's fullest, and a long lonely life isn't to it's fullest.
After:
Ẹranko's personality remains very similar to before her transformation, except she gains a huge leap of confidence and is definitely much braver. She might be less afraid to state her mind in front of others, and be less afraid to fail a hunt or two. She'll begin to notice that most wolves probably won't outcast her for a few small failures she makes in life. She might be more willing to engage in a conversation that she started with others, instead of just waiting for others to speak to her first. She'll be more confident in her abilities, and understand that if she uses her skills, she'll succeed more often than not.

Strengths:
Before
Calming abilities- Kasikedi has a good ability to be calming to others. She doesn't know if it's her voice or her personality or the words she says, she seems to always manage to calm someone down when they're afraid or angry. Kasi is a great helper if there's a pup having a temper tantrum or a pup that's sad, because she always seems to manage to cheer them up. The easy ones at least.
After
Claws and teeth- but Ẹranko will have to learn how to properly use them. When she turns into a smilodon, wolf hunting and fighting techniques won't work anymore. She'll have to learn how to pounce on her prey like a cat, and use her jaws to strangle it instead of biting it's pelt like a wolf would until it dies.
Weaknesses:
Before
Way too passive- Kasikedi struggles to kill a rabbit without feeling bad. The only creatures she can kill without feeling bad are the ones that threaten her packmates, like coyotes or bears. Anything that is harmless, like a deer or a rat, is going to make her rethink what she did to the creature for the rest of the day.
After
Her stamina- when Ẹranko becomes a cat, she won't be able to run for as long. Like most big cats, she'll be more built for ambushing her prey from the bushes rather than chasing it for long distances until it gets tired. Adapting to the change will probably be the hardest challenge about losing her stamina, because then she'll also have to learn how to hunt and how to fight along with it.
~
Increased Ability:
Accelerated healing- I really don't want to write a paragraph on this.
Power(s) that will be gained:
New species: smilodon gracilis- which means that Ẹranko will no longer be a wolf after the transformation. Her blood and DNA will change altogether, which may be a bit tingly and strange feeling for her. This new form isn't much of a boost, as she remains the same size she did before, but she just looks like a sabertoothed cat. She will get big teeth and claws, but these will take a long while to get used to using.
Beastial affinity- which will definitely change Ẹranko's life. With this power, it gives her a bit of a boost in her bravery. It won't change her personality altogether, but it will definitely make her much braver than she was before. Bravery is something Kasikedi has always struggled with in her life, because she knows that a simple mistake can cost her her life.
