Her werewolf form remained the same but there was a strangeness to it that she couldn’t explain. Like it wasn’t the right form for her to take and none of the other options she had at her disposal even the lion from the Assegai seemed to work. Like She was a baby getting teeth all over again; there was something just uncomfortable about everything she had about her. The heightened senses did a lot to help her out in the day to day stuff sure but it also meant in areas that had a lot of people she’d be a little irritable or at the very least distracted until she got used to it.
So today Lucretia had decided that she would be out and about. Training at the guild hall where there’d be less of a flow of people. Her jaw set in a determined way as she swung her spear around. Even after her loss against Kon she still felt she was a good fighter; she might not have directly hurt him but there had been quite a gap between the two. Swinging her spear around in an overt fashion against the training dummy felt right but she also couldn’t help but feel like she shouldn’t be wasting her time against leather bound dummies.
”Tch… barely even really worth the time. Maybe I should go and find other fighters to…”
Lucretia stopped herself and stared down at the spear; she couldn’t go to the baska tournament without killing someone before and now? She’d just do it again but worse. She’d let out a frustrated huff and plant the butt of the spear in the ground. Staring awkwardly at the dummies in front of her outside her guildhall. She could still feel the sun beating down from the sky; somewhat broken up by the cloud cover but even that felt different.
”Nothing ever stays the same; but why does this bother me so much?”
She’d mumble and the white haired woman would instead take a seat near the dummies, waterskin in her hand and she’d take a sip out of it. Was a little too early to get toasted but this break would hopefully let her even out…. Even if she was constantly distracted with her bodies’ rapidly developing abilities.

Abilities:
Apex Predator Smell : The user can smell the scent of anything within a 50-meter range to determine their location and hunt them down.
Night Vision: Werewolves are able to see in the dark as though it is day. This also allows them see through magical darkness.
Alpha Physiology: Instead of the normal 20% increase that Werewolves receive passively, the user receives a 30% increase in their Strength, Speed, Constitution, and Endurance. This does not stack with the Transformations.
Magically Inept: Werewolves have difficulty casting magic having a 20% increase in mana cost and a One post cool-down increase for all spells.
Composed Transformation: Not turned, but born as Werewolves, these few can control their transformations better than others. Their transformations have a 0 post cooldown.
Bestial Scaling: The user can dig their fingers into a surface, then propel upward and dig in again, generating the effect of wall-crawling. This can be done on vertical and horizontal surfaces. They cannot stand straight on walls though.
In Tune With The Lands: The harsh savannah of their homeland offered Shaka little refuge from the elements. Constant prolonged exposure to the sun and landscape had toughened Shaka's skin to the resilience of natural reflection. Thus, whenever the user receives damage to their Constitution via Physical Damage, the damage is returned to the source as well for 3 ranks lower than the equivalent received.
Steadfast: The user is not affected by any knock-back effects.
Armored Movement: Spellswords are used to wearing heavy-weight armor and wielding heavy weapons. The speed reduction that is applied for wearing heavy-weight armor and heavy weapons is halved.
Yeti Strength: The user can wield a two-handed weapon as if it was a one-handed weapon without the necessary Strength requirement.
