Full Body Reference

Moira is a muscular woman. Toned from years in the fighting rings. Her hands are calloused from training, and she has many battle scars for people to focus on. Her facial shape, eyelashes, jawline, and lips suggest a feminine beauty, but she never does anything to accentuate it.

Her bright red hair would normally fall just below her shoulders, but she tends to keep up pinned up messily with a black flower band. It tends to frame her face but does nothing to cover the horrendous claw-scars over her blind right eye.

She enjoys wearing tights and leggings, along with short dresses or pleated skirts. She is always wearing the first piece of clothing Titus got for her, a button up and high-collared pinkish poncho. Moira favors pinks and greens to go with her red hair and brilliant blue eye.

She moves with the posture of someone who was bred and born in the military.

Dragon Form

Moira is a Dragon about the size of a two-story house with quilled spikes all along her body. She is much more similar to a wyvern, with hands that contain only two large claws and short legs that tend to be hidden while she's on the ground. Her wings are a tattered mess of torn membranes.

Her neck and tail make up the majority of her length. Her tail is similar to an Ankylosaurus, with a clubbed tail to match. Her tail is covered in her quills, making it a dangerous mace-like weapon. While her head and neck are very much like a snake.

Her eyes face toward the sides rather than the front, and her mouth opens wide to show off around five to six rows of sharp teeth meant for hooking into flesh and tearing away at it for maximum damage. Her tongue is long and snake-like, while also being retractable in a small sheath in her mouth.
Personality
❝War had the effect of encouraging people to try to stay alive. Poverty, too. Survival was simply too hard-won to be given up lightly.❞ ― Aminatta Forna

Moira's temper is about as hot as her hair, but through a surplus of composure and discipline gained through her time in the fighting rings, she's learned to hold her tongue and focus her anger in a way that doesn't have her losing her head.

She is very prideful and hates to admit her weaknesses. She won't ask for help when injured or sick and attempts to hide any pain or discomfort she feels in fear of being attacked or taken advantage of.

She is paranoid and doesn't trust people as a collective, though she tries to treat everyone with the same respect she would demand. She is very protective of those who cannot protect themselves and has a soft spot for people who are endlessly optimistic.

Because of a life without socialization, Moira often misreads people's intentions and social cues. She gives off the impression of a soldier who has only just returned home after a long war.
Abilities
Actives Automotion: Moira can absorb kinetic energy around her to become immune to magical or poisonous/venomous effects of immobilization. Physical binding and methods of containment still affect her the same.

Dragon Quill Armor (Dragon Form): Moira has quills that double as exoskeletal armor and projectile weaponry. When she's angry these quills rise and point outward.

She can shoot these quills outward with the power and momentum of a crossbow bolt. The downside to this is that doing so will leave the parts of her skin where she has shot the quills from without much armor. The skin under her quills is only about as durable as leather.

Her quills take approximately a month to regrow. Her quills do naturally fall out and replace themselves, specifically during the winter months, but she is never without them.

Human Form: Can turn into a human form.

Hyperkinetic Exertion: Moira can exert the force of five times her own body weight with a touch. Scales with her Dragon form.

Hyperkinetic Pushback: Moira can call kinetic energy to herself to prevent her from being moved. While rooting herself like this, Moira can withstand five times the amount of momentum her body could resist without using this ability. Scales with her Dragon form.

Mace Tail (Dragon Form): Moira's tail is like a mace, both incredibly sharp and hard. Think of it working like an Ankylosaurus, made entirely of vertebrae woven together to form a hard rod. This mace tail is named so because unlike an Ankylosaurus, Moira's tail is covered in her quills.

Passives Long Life: Can live well into her thousands.

Supernatural Smell, Sight, & Hearing: Can use her tongue to smell, it works ten times better than her nose. Moira can smell even a drop of blood well before she can see a person.

Moira's ears aren't as good as her tongue, but her hearing is far superior to a person. Like animals in the wild, she can hear the scurrying or a mole or mouse under snow or Earth.

On the flip side, this means she can hear lower and higher frequencies than a human and sounds that a human might not hear tend to hurt her ears and head.

While Moira's eyesight isn't that much better than a human's on a daily basis, she can see ultraviolet light (like black light vision) and has thermal vision like that of a snake. Her nighteye isn't as good as some nocturnal creatures, as her thermal vision and ultralight vision would make it irrelevant, but she can see well enough in the darkness that she can see in pitch black like a human could in a cloudy night.

Supernatural Strength & Endurance: Her body may not be resistant to attacks (especially when her quills have come off), but she can take extreme amounts of damage without stopping.

Moira goes into a berserker mode when fighting that leaves her ignoring her injuries. This is best utilized in her dragon form where she can take more damage without her body giving out from the injury.

Short of blowing off her head, or punching through her chest, Moira can and will fight until her body naturally gives out from the destruction it has suffered. All the pain she ignores comes back to her afterward tenfold.

But Moira can dish it out as well as she can handle it, able to topple large, sturdy buildings in her Dragon form and break through most natural metals with ease. In her human form, she doesn't have that pure power, but she can still bend a thick iron beam with a little effort and a thick steel beam while working up a sweat.

Weaknesses Aquaphobia: Moira has a huge fear of being submerged in water. In her Dragon form, she will do anything humanly possible not to cross rivers or lakes that reach her elbows, and in her human form, even the idea of a bath terrifies her.

Things like showers or rain (and even most fountains so long as they're only ankle deep) are fine, but anything, where she feels surrounded, can put her in a panic attack or worse, a flying rage.

Bodies of Water (Dragon Form): While in her Dragon form Moira is far too bulky and weighed down to swim. She sinks like a rock.

Hoarding Compulsion: Moira has the intense compulsion to hoard unique/antique coins.

Partially Blind: Due to her past injuries, Moira is completely blind in her right eye. In her Dragon form, with her eyes further apart, this is even worse..

Speed (Dragon Form): While in her Dragon form, the sheer amount of weight to her body makes Moira a very slow beast. She is slow, but powerful, like a tank. A human child could undoubtedly outrun her.

Moira is unable to use her kinetic abilities to make herself quicker or give her boosted speed in any way. Her abilities just don't work that way.

Torn Wings: Moira's wings are a tattered, butchered mess. Even with the use of her kinetic abilities, she is unable to fly or glide. The membranes of her wings are entirely useless and can't be fixed, having scarred over a long time ago.
History
○ Born to the first generation of Drakenhardts. As a young Dragon, Moira was stolen and sold off in the black market.

○ Made quite a name for herself in underground fighting rings where she was forced to fight as a Dragon.

○ Many years later she was found and saved by the scouts, particularly her younger brother, Titus.
Resources
As a scout with a rich family, Moira is very well off. She lives in a moderate home and saves most of what she makes. She's sitting on a pretty penny.
Extra
○ Hoards antique coins. Because of her previous living condition, her hoard is quite small and this is a point of discontentment with her.

○ Can't swim.
