(read more here)

How does it work?
The user turns into a red panda. She transforms back on own will after a maximum of 16 hours.

Pros:
Has all the abilities of a red panda and is much smarter than a usual red panda, yet not working with the entire brain capacity of a grown up human being (more like an 8-years-old). Can climb trees, scratch and bite, withstands cold, is fluffy, etc.

Cons and Weaknesses:
Clothes don't transform, that's why a safe environment when turning back to human is preferred. Inability to speak or perform real complex actions, like driving a car or cooking. The user could write though, using her claws for example. Animal instincts apply before common sense of the person.
Would need a long break of minimum 5 hours for recovery after staying a Red Panda for too long.

^// Loyal, observant and analytical, protective, patient when doing her job, impatient in private situations, very predictable, competitive 

Strength, loyalty and dutifulness sum up her personality quite well. She WILL try to help you out of trouble, if you aren't an enemy of humanity. Klaudia is devoted to the fulfilment of the collective goals and thus puts the lives of her fellows over her own - she would rather give away her spare ration or sleeping space during hard times in a heartbeat than keeping it for herself. She's the person for spotting tiny but sometimes important details, most of her comrades would overlook, but seeing the big picture might take her a while. It's hard to lie to the Feral and she's a terrible liar herself. She'd follow her superiour's commands without further questions. During missions or important activities, she wouldn't allow any intrusion into her personal life, in other words, her military training would speak. She would ignore personal questions or inform you to ask at a later time. Expectations of herself and others are high and any failure is at least cringeworthy. 

In a more casual setting and among the people she calls her friends, she can still be a loud mouth, uptight and combative, though she'd never put up an act in serious situations. Klaudia all in all is helfpul and friendly, and over the years at the Agency she grew more patient.

1990 - 2007
Born and raised in an environment that always expected Klaudia and her siblings to be free of flaws, she rarely grasped the concept of enjoying something for the sake of joy but rather work as a machine that hardly fails. Her father is a captain on a marine cruiser in the baltic sea, her mother a lawyer, specialized in military affairs and thus her brothers went through military training, as well. Klaudia was the last born child within this family. Her two brothers and one sister turned into a joyful bunch with interests in comics and videogames - their strict parents still expected them to give nothing but the best despite their hobby. Klaudia continued living up to her parent's high expectations, not sharing the interests of her siblings and turning into a hard worker on her own accord, always loving the competition nonetheless. The highy energetic girl focussed on a hobby that suited her way more than wasting time in front of a monitor.

She and her siblings studied hard for the best grades in school, Klaudia started getting karate lessons with 4, before she even went to elementary school and kendo lessons with 8 as she was completely hopeless on an instrument unlike her siblings. The rest of her childhood she spent in private schools, always being the one that caused trouble or being bullied for her looks, red hair, weird personality and whatever reason might come up. Klaudia was a proud little girl and always fought back, taking any attack towards her or her family as a grave insult, that she never left unpunished. (And that her parents weren't leaving unpunished, too.) She was one of those children, that acted first, then think - yet she worked on filling that "room for improvement". And even though she appeared like the rough kid among her class mates, she had big respect for her teachers and, of course, her parents.

Over the years, her strength grew - thanks to her training - though her three older siblings ended up having to tame the wild child with stern but responsible treatment, while their father was away on week-long trips to the sea and their mother had a busy working schedule. Being a child, Klaudia never held a grudge against her parents at that time as everything that happened still seemed to make sense to her. She still highly respected everyone in her family and valued them above all else. By the time her first brother Sevin enrolled in the Marine, Klaudia ended up working hard in her year-long forte, - Karate and Kendo - letting out her pent-up energy that, at home, was usually kept under wraps by her other two siblings. Three years after Sevin, Jens enrolled as well, training to become a Medic at sea. Prestige, as well as money, played an omnipresent role in her family’s lifestyle after all. And while she was always encouraged by her parents to achieve things on her own, it was an undeniable fact that many doors would have stayed closed in the path of her career, had it not been for her parents’ money.

When Klaudia was 14, her oldest brother, Sevin, died at the young age of only 24. Him and their younger brother, Jens, had went on a military boat trip and were just nearing the pier, where Klaudia and their parents were waiting for their return. Standing in the front of the ship and ready to leave for the anchorage, half of the ship suddenly went up in flames as an explosion from a thus far unknown source hit it. Klaudia and her parents were hit by shrapnel and flying wood pieces and were knocked over into the ocean, even though her physically strong father had tried everything to at least keep her and her mother safe. Due to the lack of orientation and almost drifting underneath the ship, the three ended up close to drowning but were later saved by bystanding members of the Marine. Sevin paid with his life as his body was ripped into pieces, while Jens ended up heavily injured but alive and with amnesia. Klaudia spent a few days in the hospital, along with her parents, but mostly for observation purpose. The 14-year-old ended up developing a heavy fear of water due to the painful experience of almost having drowned. The explosion itself had barely registered in Klaudia’s mind and thus, she merely remembered the near-drowning experience of it. The police, after further investigation on the ship itself, found out that the incident was politically motivated and would be declared as an 'act of terror' against the military itself.

It took a lot of time for Klaudia to mentally recover from the incident and find joy in life again after the loss of her brother and the horrible incident itself. She watched her brother Jens recover as his body healed and him gaining his memories back. However, he was not the same man that he used to be, he refused to go back to continuing his work at the military and grew more and more lethargic. While this should have discouraged Klaudia even more, it made her go back to her former self one by one. Her naturally cheerful and wild side that had been missing in the past weeks returned and she tried cheering up her brother with little acts of affection and keeping him occupied throughout the day. At first, she did not talk about the military at all and his parents, as well, left him be about it. After a while though, Klaudia started asking him about his work that he had not planned to return to. She would ask how different ranks were achieved and how one’s everyday life looked like at a military base. Jens did not respond too much at first but after a while, he remembered why he had joined the military and admired its lifestyle. It had not only been because of his family’s history but it was the discipline, comeradeship and thoroughness that had intrigued him in the first place. In turn, Klaudia too became intrigued with her brother’s newly awakened admiration. Most importantly, her own wish to follow a career at the military only grew stronger. Not only because she wanted to keep her family safe from such a tragedy to ever happen again.

Her parents meanwhile had arranged an interview for Klaudia at an all-girls school at Russia, where they hoped to lay the foundation for her future career. Not only because wielding guns at a young age was allowed there, while it was strictly forbidden in Germany. Being introduced as the prodigy of her family - even if she lacked the proper behavior - she was offered the chance to study and train at the military orientated girls school. Russia, being a country where the children would have the opportunity to start military training by the time they were 12, Klaudia was able to deepen her knowledge and techniques as a fighter herself. As it was a place, though, where a branch of her family lived, she usually spent her free time with them to get away from the usual school life. As she was still rather young and inexperienced in the military field, she learned the basics of military training during the cold, russian winter and was ‘knocked into shape’. Klaudia even had to absolve a tough survival training at Siberia, also to strengthen the girls’ teamwork ability.

2008-2010
For her parents these happenings were downright disastrous and Klaudia didn't hear the end of how it damaged their reputation, ignoring the feelings of the young girl completely. Many things came to her realisation, how she didn't wanted that life she worked so hard for, the thought alone of holding a weapon made her throw up and a process of diminishment started, despite counselling. It was only two days after her 18th birthday that she received a mysterious message on her smartphone, disappearing again right when she was about to show it to her tech-savvy brother. The screen started acting weird as soon as she was alone again. "Steh auf deinen eigenen Beinen." (stand on your own two feet) was written on her screen and she wasn't sure wether to feel insulted or not. Klaudia felt hurt, just because it was the truth. Not a single thing she did in her past was for herself. A dialogue with the mysterious person on the other side of the screen started and it lasted for hours, he reminded her of the happenings a few months ago and informed her about how much they know about her already. The cloud of confusion started to disappear quickly and the day after she was on her way to HQ04 as there was nothing left for her at home.

It was Klaudia's ability which made her so interesting for the Agency and she was not quite sure whether she had made the right decision to join after all. Actually, she had tried to forget she was even able to turn into a fluffy animal and had even succeeded in completely denying it for a while. Here, at HQ04 however, she was encouraged to train and develop her ability even further. A year of training, developing her ability and getting actual mental support had seemed to give her back what she thought she had lost along the way, which was the passion she used to put into progressing.

2011-2013
Later, she was sent to HQ02 to undergo more specialized training, now that her ability was better developed. She started being able to cope with her ability, seeing as those around her also had abilities of their own. Once at HQ02, she enjoyed the training, picking up Karate and Kendo again and she was looking forward to all new challenges that were awaiting her. Not to mention that all this gave her a purpose again.

She appeared to be especially useful in outdoor situations, where the instincts and perception as red panda and her usual quick reflexes were of advantage. At this point she was focussing on developing her survival skills in the roughest of climates and worst of situations the agency was able to display for training purposes. Sometimes, it all seemed to become too much though - and she fled to the animals that were kept at HQ02. She found their presence rather soothing, when the people around her were more company than she wanted to handle. Besides her usual training, she learned to take proper care of the animals, especially the avians after she started treating an abandoned Caracara she picked up on a trainings trip to Tierra el Fuego. This kind of company helped her accepting herself much more and feeling less missplaced in this world. Only a few months after, she was sent to HQ01 to become a Feral.

2014-present
The purpose of her new line of work was so much more graspable. She finally had the feeling of being able to make a difference. Klaudia, now an Agent, continued training where it stopped at HQ02. She never missed a single chance to improve her skills, namely training units and assignments plus she managed to teach a few new tricks to Fey to improve communication during missions and carefully familiarised the bird with her feral form. Klaudia got to know quite a lot of new people, approaching more on social situations than before - sometimes with more, sometimes with less success. She still is a hard worker that suffers sleep deprivation ever so often, yet at the agency it less feels like she "has to" and more like she "wants to".

Her Feral Partner is Fey, a Chimango Caracara, she picked up as an abandoned young bird on a trip to Tierra del Fuego.
During the years they trained together, worked on their communication and eventually these souls were bound together. Both had a few difficult weeks while trying to properly deal with the new sensation. Fey inherited part of Klaudia's shape shifting ability - and thus is able to turn into a collared owlet for a short time.

<sup>Roleplay Sample: 

"You belong to the most adjustable species on this planet, so... try to adjust." The Feral took a deep breath after she reminded herself of what she was, while looking over the skyline of New York City. It was loud. An ambulance just passed by the building she was standing on. What happened now? Was it an accident? A heart attack? Her mind drifted off to all kinds of possibilities that demanded urgent medical attention. She leaned on the handrail and continued watching the crowds and cars down there. This city was so lively, a bit too lively for her taste but it was convenient for the people living and working here. They traded this convenience for room to breathe. But it was necessary to remind herself what the agency was protecting, the peace these people took for granted and this fact somewhat made sense to her or so she convinced herself. After a while she let out a long whistle and a bird appeared in the distance. "Let's head back, alright?" Klaudia asked her with a smile as soon as Fey landed. And with a silent cawing sound the bird replied.

This elevator, she just couldn't handle using it all by herself. And Fey being a bird had her issues with it, too. But together they could... adjust. The ride was short and smooth so it was just a matter of finding a good enough distraction. Here, look at these pictures of food, Fey, I cooked it myself and I love to use avocado a lot. Klaudia swiped over the screen of her phone, making random pictures appear and disappear just long enough to last the elevator ride down to the headquarter. Quickly she stepped out of this thing, wasting no time to head to the Feral Den.</sup>
