Whilst she appears mostly normal aside from the runes upon her horns most days, her true form shifts a bit more dramatically.
Her skin pales to an unnatural, ethereal white with blue undertones. It has the texture of soft leather, though in areas where the skin is thinner faint dark veins can be seen. As her skin pales, her body seems to become more defined, features sharper and more hawkish, and she stands a little taller. Her hair seems more wild as her horns grow longer, sharper, and dark as they curve backwards. Their surface has Infernal runes that take on a teal colouration. Her skin over the hands is like charcoal in tone, fading up to the middle of the forearm with sharp black nails upon slender fingers. When she moves, illusory dark blue embers and wisps of smoke sometimes trail in her wake.

Those under his wing are able to warp small portions of nature through their touch, and force it to carry a more nether-like equivalent appearance. Grass can appear like red crimsonroots. Vines can twist and turn green-blue and shriveled. Any violent tendencies they have will calm when corrupting nature.

Those of Dranoden tend to have vivid nightmares of madness. Visions of faltering in battles of armored foes, falling great heights, and being persecuted. Magical means can ease it, but cannot remove it entirely.
