Sourteu is most comfortable when having the option to fly, and will almost always choose a disguise at home in the air.
Shayla
This is the form she usually assumes when she needs to do tasks better suited to hands.
- Shayla has milky white skin, feathery brown hair, pointy ears, amber eyes and iridescent crystal wings. She wears medium length dresses in a variety of natural colors, with touches of brighter color on accessories and undergarments.
- Shayla is industrious, quiet and cheerful. She sometimes coos absent-mindedly when she is working. She has a soft cheerful voice when she chooses to speak. She is intelligent and full of wisdom that she shares during quiet moments when she thinks the hearer will be receptive.

Lunette
This is the guise she will use when she feels the need to enter buildings or locations with Demi-humans. She makes very judicious use of this form due to limits on its use.
- Lunette is very petite and has fair skin with blue tinges, medium length black hair and silver green eyes with gold flecks. She likes to wear long colorful dresses or robes with faint patterns. She’ll add necklaces, rings, earrings and wire braids to her hair as appropriate to the event.
- She is very reserved and goes about her business very quietly. She has a soft voice and is full of wisdom. She’ll often have a far-off look to her eyes when her immediate attention is not required.
