Name: Lahshawnda StormClaw the manynamed... HawkSlayer... BloodWing... the guffawing vulture, unmercifull devourer and scourge of the Skies. ((there is more... I spare you the worst.))

Gender: Female
Age: 29 (Harpies can become around 60)
Species: Harpy
Height: 176 cm (5'9")
Spread: 460 cm (15'1")
Weight: 45 Kg (10lbs)

Physical Description: Terribly ruffled feathers in Red, Yellow and Brown on top and blue and White from below covering most of the sinewy Body. Only the face, neck and Chest are free and appearantly very Human, while the lower body slowly fades into birdlike Legs which end in large, eery clawed bird feet. The Arms are part of the Wings, but similar heavily clawed like the feet, and, when the Wings are foldet, can be used as fearsome weapons. Lahsh is quite heavy and large for a Harpy, and dispite her low weight she is very strong and easily cabable to carry a grown Man in her Claws... not very fast or long, though. The fine, leathery skin beneath her Feathers and the Human skin on her Face and Chest are covered in it seems hundrets of scares, her Eyes are a light brown, allmost orange and somewhat too large for a human face. The nose is thin and sharp and surey had been broken not only once. The cheeks and chin look meager.

Abilities: Like all Harpies, Lahsh can Fly and has terribly sharp and large Claws. She is however a strong Speciwomen and where other Harpies need to carry a person in pairs of two, Lahsh can take one on her own. She has the typical above average Dexterity like most hard trained fighters and very keen Eyes. She does not have any Magical abilities aside the Inherit one which makes all Hyrpies being able to fly, cause indeed even the large Wings could lift a Harpy off ground if it weren't for the Inherit Wind Magic ((I am not sure if Nanos can do Wind stuff, I can't exactly come up with any Idea how... but then, so couldn't I about creating fireballs.)) Harpies can indeed use tools, but hardly those tools made for Human hands, and they had not much use for weapons as their Claws do just fine.

History: Harpies, the wild Woman-Birds or Bird-Women of the Mountains. Many tales and rumors are spread about these creatures. Fact is: Yes, they do hunt Human Man, kidnap them to breed children... and yes, the male children are thrown out of the nest. They also eat raw meat, but they usually spare humans. Dispite their Strenght, they aren't very fast or enduring flyers. Lahsh was one of the Strongest and Wildest in her Mountains, a reckless hunter... but she never gave birth. A Long while she was tolerated, but when she grew older and stronger and cleverer, the tribe's chief grew afraid of her. Feared she would take over the tribe... In a foul complot the chief convinced many Harpies that is were a bad think if an infertile would reign... and so Lahsh was atacked and driven away. Bannished from her tribe... without nest... a Lost Harpy. She began to explore the world, learning and wandering.

Personality: Lahsh is wild and agressive, but more than that curious. She loves Dark, creepy stories and often pretents to be dark and creepy herself, but she is really more the rude, violent type. As Harpy she disregards men as a mere neccesarity, she would never respect one. Women on the other hand, and expecially strong or smart ones, can easily become friends... or respected enemies and rivals.

Lewt: Since she is wandering and relies on hunting she does not posses much, some clorhings and bags, a blanket firestone and steel... some outdoor survival stuff.
