What I can Do and Can't
Powers:Rain is a feline shape shifter. She can shift into the shape of any feline past or present. She is still learning how to control it and will sometimes shape-shift into the wrong feline. When she gets mad she will shape-shift partially, for an example she will form a tail without meaning to. She will shift partly and will on occasion shift half way. In full morph she can use the attributes of the cat’s form she has taken. For example, in full Cheetah morph she can use the Cheetah’s legendary burst of speed. Or the Lion’s strength in full lion form.
Her powers give her an understanding of felines. She can understand feline’s body language and noises thanks to her feline side. Unlike most cats she is not territorial and does not mind sharing space with other cats.
Rain has the senses of a cat even in human form. Her hearing, sight, smell, touch, taste are on par with a lioness. She can identify someone from their smell, footsteps from a distance away.
Rain has brain has a part that is pure feline. It thinks and reacts to everything around her like a feline would. Most of the time her human mind dominants over the feline side, but, on rare occasions the feline part takes over and Rain struggles to make her human mind dominant again.
Abilities: Rain’s father taught her several martial arts disciplines including many traditional African martial arts. She is learning the use of a spear as a weapon and the use of a shield.
She is proficient with bows and arrows and has a bow and set of arrows in her room. She can use her cat senses to shoot a target from a farther distance than a normal human.
Weaknesses: Rain’s feline mind will take over whenever she smells catnip. For her, it makes her totally happy and she rubs herself all over it and starts purring like mad ignoring the happenings around her.
Rain hates strong smells and if the smell is strong enough it can actually knock her out. She also hates loud noises and can hear ranges that humans can’t and if it is loud enough Rain’s feline side will try taking over and urge her to flee.
Rain hates dogs and canine mutations. She is likely to get into fights with canine mutants at first meeting and has a tendency to scare any canines in her vicinity.
What Happened to Me
Rain was born into the Royal house of Wakanda along with her twin Kehinde. Their mother had died in child birth and they were raised by their grandmother, aunt and father. From an early age they were made aware that they were royalty. Well Kehinde thought this made him better Rain knew that it meant they should always be the best they could be for their country. Growing up they heard stories of an goddess of weather and Rain found interest in the stories while Kehinde thought they should try making the goddess work for them.
As the twins grew Rain found peace in the nature that surround the palace and would often climb trees and take naps in them, even before her powers manifested. Rain took a interest in the traditions of her people and strove to find as much as she could and preserve them. She spent a lot of time practicing older forms of defense from her father and elders while her brother was interested in how the advanced technology of Wakanda could be made to make Wakanda a national powerhouse on the global scale.
Rain first manifested her powers while taking a nap in her favorite tree when she shifted into a black panther. She was at first mistaken for the legendary black panthers that guarded the sacred heart shaped herb that gave the Black Panthers, like her father, special skills and connection to the cat god Bast. When her nanny could not find her she immediately sought out the King whose own sense of smell was enhanced to the point he could tell a person by scent. He then located Rain in the tree and gently woke her. He started her training that day. Both Rain and Kehinde were trained in the use of their powers and were accepted by their people. In Wakanda it was acceptable for someone to have a mutation.
When civil unrest broke out in Wakanda T’Challa feared for his children’s lives. Contacting a friend he made many years ago T’Challa sent his children to the Xavier Institute to continue their training. Soon after the moved to the Institute there was a minor incident with the Brother hood. Being the rebel of the family Kehinde joined the Brotherhood and tried to get his sister to join him. She refused and continued learning at the Institute. Rain had quickly made friends with the other students and found a motherly figure in Ororo and came to realize she was the goddess she had heard about as a child. Rain had been visiting her father who was briefly in the states when the mansion had been raided.

writing sample:
Rain was curled up on the mansion’s ground in the sun. She was in her favorite feline morph, a black panther. Her tail twitched as she cat napped. Her ears twitched at every sound locating the source.
Rain than heard her name being called woke up. She stretched her front legs out and dug her claws in before stretching out her back and back legs. She then looped off to find the person who had called her. Rain knew who had called her and shifted back to her human form. She was wearing a simple black bodysuit and no shoes.
“You called?” she asked when she walked up to her fellow student who called her.
