| Physical Description | Ayasha is tall by the standards of humanoid species, standing on digitigrade legs, s/he surveys hir domain in sickbay from over the heads of other crewmembers. Hir front and limbs are covered by thick, black fur, transitioning to brown, and then red on hir back, head, and tail. Hir Bushy tail is ringed with bands of dark red, and the fur is soft, and voluminous, giving the appendage a pillow-like appearance, but underneath it remains long and sinuous, able to move with surprising speed and agility. Hir pointed, white-tipped ears flick this way and that as s/he takes in the sounds of the world, reading them carefully, and s/he scans everything around hir with golden slit-pupiled eyes. Hir body is lean and sinewy, kept in peak condition by a carefully optimized fitness regimen. Some of the fur on hir head grows out continuously, like human hair, s/he usually keeps this cut to a medium length, and styled in a businesslike fashion, but has been known to experiment at times.
Similar to Allasomorphs, Antosians, and Vendorians, the Felinoid and Ailurian species possess the ability to shapeshift. In their case this ability is limited to changing shape between a bipedal humanoid form, and a quadrupedal ‘Feral’ form. Ayasha’s feral form displays a mosaic of features, just as hir humanoid form does. S/he overall resembles a ringtailed cat, having, pointed ears and snout, slit pupiled eyes, semi-retractable claws, and a sinuous agile body. S/he is taller longer, and leaner than an Ailurian, standing on long, gracile legs capable of sprinting at tremendous speed, or springing high into the air. While shifted, s/he is still somewhat heavier-boned than an average Felinoid, or terran feline, with larger, more hand-like paws, and s/he retains hir conspicuous bushy tail. |

| Personal History | Felinoids and Ailurians both are born in their ‘feral form,’ living the first decade or so of their lives much like animals. They then experience the ‘first change,’ and go through a period of change and growth called ‘adjustment’ where their new bipedal body grows into its adult form. Ayasha was a late bloomer in this regard, perhaps due to hir mixed parentage going through a time in hir adjustment where s/he was treated poorly by hir peers and felt uncomfortable in hir own body. Reading and study were retreats, and s/he developed strong learning habits during this time. As these studies began to pay off with growing mastery, and hir development caught up with, and surpassed hir peers, hir love of learning, and hunger for knowledge were cemented into hir character. Continuing to work hard, s/he excelled in hir studies, graduating at the top of hir class from hir settlement’s school. S/he then chose to go on to Starfleet as a sort of ‘ultimate test,’ they faced the greatest challenges in the known universe and came out on top. | |
