Her whole body is exceptionally muscular. She sports a flattop hair cut. Her voice is smooth and creepy, always level, but somehow just slightly unnerving.

History: She was born in the east, but her parents moved at a very young age to the south. While she appears to be a normal Human, she's... not quite right.
