Appearance

Physical Description

Lithe and strong on a small frame. She's wicked fit and moves with a measured, almost feline grace. Her bust is small, but she has some feminine curves.

Facial Features

Taiga is attractive with a nicely proportioned face. Her lashes are thick and black, and her eyebrows naturally have a nice shape.
 
Her eyes are a shimmering silver that shift and dance with very pale purple and blue flecks. They wont seem to change while you're looking directly at them, but every time she blinks, the flecks will have shifted slightly. The silver always has a slight metallic sheen.
 
They change appearance when she experiences intense emotions.

Anger/aggression/focus/fear: the flecks fade away leaving only pure, hard silver.

Sorrow/grief/exhaustion/depression: the colors fade and they go a flat pale gray.

Joy/excitement/love: the flecks grow slightly more saturated.

Her nose is slightly crooked through the bridge. It looks like she had a mild break that was not properly set and it does not impead her breathing.
 
Her face and shoulders are strewn with a spray of freckles that darken when exposed to the sun.
 
Very thick dark auburn hair that she usually wears in a ponytail, the bottom half of which is shaved into an undercut. When loose, it falls several inches past her collarbones.

Identifying Characteristics

Witchmarks:
Her once dark brown eyes are now a shimmering silver
 
Her hands, lower forearms, feet and ankles are covered in a frost-like webbing of silvery coloration that starts at her toe/fingertips and disapate as it moves onto her arms/legs. They started as barely visible, almost like faded, pale scars, and have slowly spread and become more visible as her powers grow. They are the same texture as her skin, but are visibly not tattoos. When she channels, they shine with a silvery-blue sheen.
 
 
Tattoos:
Her upper back and shoulders are adorned with an intricate artistic depiction of a dragon's wings spread as if in flight. She has a coordinating and equally intricate quarter sleeve on her left arm. The ink of her tattoos is infused with adamantine and they shimmer with the same black-blue-silver-white irridescent sheen as the metal, though their placement on her skin means that the colors change more readily than they would on a blade or armor plate.
 
 
Scars:
There are two thick scars running in parallel across her upper chest that look like she was swiped by a set of massive claws.
 
She has surgical scars on the inside of her right forearm that would suggest that her forearm was once carefully and purposefully cut open and all dermis peeled away to reveal the muscular structures below.
 
There is a very small scar on her knee from slipping and falling on rough stone while chasing after her brother as a child.
