Powers:
1) Smooth Shift: The ability to shift from one form to the other more smoothly, with less pain, and less mess. They will however still need to feed and rest afterwards as any other Shifter would, they just will be in less pain and cleaner after!

2) Moon Blessing: Some shifters are able to soothe or heal other shifters with their touch. It works differently for everyone, it can be just physical closeness over a certain amount of time, it can be kissing or licking wounds. This ability will not completely cure injuries but it will prevent the worst and initiate or speed up the healing process. Proper medical care will still be needed for traumatic injuries. Luana must be physically touching the person for this as well as paired with her other skill wolf song for it too work

3) Ad libitum: The ability to change into beast form at will and without any present trigger, as well as shifting back to human form without the penalty of passing out into a comatose sleep. Shapeshifting still takes a lot of energy and even an Alpha will need to replenish it with a decent amount of protein rich food.

4) Alpha Form: With this ability, strong alphas can assume a third form. This is an ‘in between’ form that is a mix of human and beast. The shifter remains standing on two ‘feet’ and has the upright movements of their human form as well as the physical characteristics of their beast: muzzle, teeth, fur, claws, etc.

5) Display Dominance: ​Even in human form, the Alpha is able to connect to their beast and enhance the potency of their alpha aura. This is usually used to get a point across in arguments or to claim leadership in a situation that needs someone to make the decisions. Some may even use it just for fun or to cow someone, some may use it to boost their own confidence for a short while, it depends on the personality of the shifter. It's not a permanent effect and can only be kept up for 30 minutes. After activation of the ability it needs 24 hours to recharge before it can be used again. Though Luana can use this, sometimes she lets it go too far and she will shift if the argument begins too heated... so this must be used sparingly with the white wolf

6) Silent paws: Most shifters can move silently, Luana has mastered this skill.. She can do so in all her forms and has an ability to sneak up on the unaware...

7) Strength: Luana is a strong female. She was above average in height and strength as a human but once bitten by an arctic wolf shifter this seemed to strengthen even more so. She is larger than most female wolves and This strength lets her challenge larger wolves, especially males. This is one of the ways she was able to become a pack leader. She has this strength in all three of her forms (x2 normal strength of other females).

8) Metaphysical Rift: The alpha shifter, as long as they are awake, can mentally slip into the metaphysical realm and draw on their power to disrupt a Vampire's call by creating a Metaphysical Rift that blocks said call. It is not possible to keep this effect up indefinitely as it will drain the Alpha until they finally pass out if they don't stop. If the shifter is strengthened by a group bond, Luana can only do this once per 24 hour period as she is not used to being called... She also cannot withstand it as long as others who have had practice.

9) Wolf Song: Luana can howl or sing to help ease another wolf or someone close to her. (Consent only) She can howl into the night and those within a 15m range can feel her effects, humans need to be closer about 10m to feel such effects and must be willing to accept it. She has a delicate but strong voice but it can be worn down easily.

10) Spirit Walker: To sense the general energies of Spirits and in a way be a foci for a Vargamor. She cannot convey words, just vague emotions and energies. She can help to calm them with her other power of wolf song.


Weaknesses:
1) Loss of voice: Due to her ability to calm by use of voice if these abilities are used more than 4 times in a 24 hour period Luana will loose her voice for another 24 hour period or longer, it can also be draining and she will shift to her wolf state to sleep off the effects.

2) Alpha form: If in her alpha form more that a 12 hour period (Day) it will become harder and harder for her to revert out of this state.

3) Cannot hide the beast: Claws and her eyes always show the beast within
making her easy target for hunters

4) Loneliness/Depression: Can easily drift into a dark state of mind, unable to feel emotion (depression) due to not being with the pack or touch another for long periods (24 hours or more)
This occurs if she is alone in any state for longer than 6 hours (So if she goes out to hunt solo etc), the longer alone the deeper she falls.

5) Bonds/Protective: Even though Luana at times finds comfort in her own solitude it does not stop her from feeling protective or bonding with one or more people. She will form strong bonds if possible with those who accept her for who she is. She will protect them with her life but if the person she thought she could feel safe or bond with breaks that, it leads to her feral mentality and rogue nature making her shun social interactions once more and disappear into the woods.

6) Aggressive outbursts: Sometimes suffers outbursts of aggression, normally after a nightmare or stressful situation.. and can aggress on anyone or thing closest to her.

7) Allergic to Chocolate: The purer the chocolate the worse it is, can cause rash, breathing difficulties and even death depending on exposure (She is a wolf.. puppy.... >.>))

8) Preference for the beast: Prefers at time to remain in her wolf state, life is easy this way and sometimes has to be brought back.. She is harder to reason with though when in this mindset

9) Lack of Awareness or Social rules: Has no concept of boundaries with humans, she has no problem wandering through cities and streets as her wolf or alpha form.. She will shift in the middle of a club to her alpha state... Many times edging hunters on.

10) Hearing: She cannot hear as well as others, both in her human form and wolf states... Things will be easily missed if not spoken loud enough.

11) Not as Fast: Luana has never been one for speed, she is a tall woman and wolf and does not have to speed or agility of other wolves, causing her to be slower to throw a punch or move from one.

12) Hotter temperatures: She is an Arctic wolf, prefers cooler temps and can get agitated, nauseated and sluggish in hotter situations al (includes clubs or heated areas etc) - also prone to stripping if too hot, cause why not?

13) Rogue/Feral Mentality: Luana comes in and out of social situations, she is awkward with groups of people even with one person she does not do well. She will revert to her wolf, her natural instincts and feral state of mind when within such situations and sometimes cause social tension and aggression with humans and other shifters with her mannerisms and behavior. As she sometimes feels outed in these situations she sometimes will just remove herself totally and disappear back into the woods to find her peace within her solitude... Which can be its own worse enemy which leads to her loneliness and depression.

14) Random (Squirrel complex) , though calm by nature sometimes Luana seems to get distracted and will suddenly walk off mid conversation... She looses focus if something catches her nose or attention.
Something can easily lure her into the hands of a Hunter if they find out what she 'likes' (And yes she has almost been hit by vehicles)

15) Possessive: Can get possessive over people and items she thinks are 'hers' or have a connection to her..
She will physically get in between people if she finds them to close with another...

16) White wolf: Any place that does not have snow, Luana stands out.. It makes hunting and hiding harder for her... It also makes her pelt that much more tempting for hunters as she has a stunning white pelt.

17) Claustrophobic: Luana cannot stand to be 'trapped'. If she feels she cannot escape easily, especially if she is alone she will begin to become fidgety, short tempered and if she cannot find a way to get out she will turn more feral to the point of shifting to allow her wolf freedom.

18) Quick to take blame: From her past Luana has never come to terms with the death of the pack, so if something goes wrong and she was apart of it she will quickly take the blame and shut down, she will become unresponsive about the subject and become defensive at times if the situation was bad enough it has driven her to leave a place to wander once more alone.

19) Spiders: Ya, especially those big ones that hide at the back of wood sheds... those suckers are creepers, this is one thing the wolf will high tail it from.

20) Spirit Walker: A spirit could distract Luana, she can fall into a meditative type state suddenly and without warning if a Spirit 'draws' on her attention. She is highly vulnerable like this as she has no awareness of the world around her. In many cases the Vargamor or witch must draw her out of this state as she has no skills how to avoid it. She can be 'physically' awoken but normally means having a pack member higher in dominance to pull her from the state, force her to shift or physically harming her so she 'feels' again, normally to the point of breaking flesh and bone.
