The Kathar is capable of shifting into a hound-like creature. The hound appears to be a mix of a Saint Bernard and a lion. While it appears more like the actual hound itself, the face droops down and is more elongated like the predator feline's, while its fur is much thicker in almost like a mane. It has jagged teeth capable of tearing through flesh, and claws that always sticks out. Drool constantly pools from the side of its saggy mouth.

Personality and Abilities: First Contact: The Kathar's personality has continued to twist over time. Va'al has tried to shut the world away after she lost a friend. However, that solution didn't work. Now Va'al has learned to express herself and open up more in a friendly way, and tries her best to connect with strangers. Though, the Kathar may come off as blunt or rude as she is still improving on her behavior. She tends to freely and carelessly express her feelings, oddly finding that speaking to strangers is easier than confessing to friends. Introspection: Va'al takes pride in her Fai'llir heritage, and the fact that she isn't a savage, and holds confidence in herself as a living being. However, she worries about losing more family. People appear to be dying like flies, and it's as if nothing she could do will ever stop it. However, trying is better than doing nothing. Va'al believes that without diligence and courage, the world would fall apart without someone to stop the evil. Connections: She is tightly bonded with her friends and family. She refuses to lose anyone else and keeps a steady watch for their wellbeing. Va'al will protect them with her life, even if it means endangering herself for the sake of saving her family. Despite her love for family, the Kathar struggles to balance out her emotions and ambitions that could be completely overwhelming for them. She wishes to take her loved ones on her path and adventures, but sometimes fails to consider how they are feeling about it. Alignment: Va'al does not lean towards evil, nor good, but does remain lawful most of the times. She fends for herself, her friends, and her family. She puts them above everything else, even above herself. The Kathar now avoids crimes and refrains from committing evil. She comes off as crude, and even selfish at times, but her intentions are usually good-hearted. Life Story Birth - Childhood: Va'al's mother fled from the Shadow Isles after she heard whispers of being selected for The Feast of Llov. Fearing for her life, Va'al's mother managed to stowaway on a pirate ship by offering a handsome bribe. After switching from ships to ships, and coast to coasts, the mother finally managed to settle down in Regalia. However, during her adventure she mingled too closely with a man who happened to be an Arken. Va'al is born on September 17th, 288 AC. While growing up, life was hard for the Kathar. It didn't help that she was also born as a golden-eyed freak. As a child, Va'al suffered from intense scrutiny, bullying, and even twisted games brought by other children. Dangerous whispers left the child frightened for her life, and her mother. Adolescence: While growing up as a teenager, the Kathar's attitude began to grow nasty. Around the age 14, she allowed "friends" to be terrible influences onto her. It started up a spree of stealing, mugging, fighting, and even being drunk in public. Her mother never really tried to snuff out the influences, nor did she scold Va'al for her terrible behavior. Believing what she did was right, Va'al began to gain a sense of entitlement for respect. She finds a Qadir within the slums. The mysterious tone that surrounded the man had allured the volatile Kathar. Soon, she found herself as a pupil to his teachings. His fluid words inspired her, and the thought of being a spirit animal felt freeing, and exciting. Va'al went through his teachings. Now: Va'al is employed at the Alchimia Order as a student. She meets new people and softens up. The Kathar also developed strong, familial bonds with the members of the Order. Rowan eventually taught her the second spell, Aeleiv. Valentius is brutally murdered by the Shenaths of the slums. She vows to get vengeance on the remaining criminal cohorts and aims to reshape herself to be the best. Va'al joins the Vigilant Shield.

Added in a recent commission picture of Va'al. Requesting to have the approved tag re-added. @Wumpatron
@Wumpatron Edits: Changed her personality since she was deeply affected by her best friend's death. Added a tiny bit to her life story. Changed trainee to novice since she learned two spells. Changed from Violent Soul to Strong Soul. All edits marked in blue.
You only gain the Atraves bonus from investing into the weapon with any proficiency points. So really if you invest a single point you gain the extra 10. Make the appropriate changes to reflect this, or remove the proficiency. Tag me once completed @Narrju
Made edits! Ellon change and personality change because I just wasn't satisfied with her being violent. Little life story additions and edits. Swapped out the word "Shendar(s)" into either Kathar or Shenath. Aged her up by 1 year. @Wumpatron
