Conjurer

Conjurer was a regular human once. Bright, timid, liked to learn all she could. The trip to Antartica with a group of researches sounded like a golden opportunity for her, with mysterious reports of a breach in the ice after an earthquake. She got more than she bargained for, stumbling upon an old creature caught in the ice, twisted and strange. It only takes a scratch to infect her, and change her into the feathered monstrosity she is today. She wears the weird costume to convince people that it's just that: A costume.

Don't make her startle. You won't like where things go next.
