As Puugwol is inordinately fond of using her abilities to make both temporary and permanent changes to her form, it should be noted that this section focuses on the currently stable features of her “default” appearance and may change over the course of the arc.

Puugwol is highly visible, with a bright orange head and back and alternating stripes of the same orange and a verdant green along the rest of her body. She is short, skinny, and streamlined. She has an extra thumb on each hand, and has also modified the phalanges of her wings to include claws and restore some of their ability to grip, at some cost to her ability to fly easily.

Her face is long and narrow. Her status-markings are a set of parallel wavy lines running from her forehead, between her eyes, down the top of their muzzle; they are light but not extremely so. She has, for some reason, turned her eyes magenta, and the tips of her antennae have been curled downward.

Puugwol prefers to decorate herself through bodily modification rather than through ornaments; in any case, anything she wore through a significant change of size might well fall off, or snap. When working with dangerous animals, she may wear leather gloves or gauntlets.

Puugwol's greatest joy is in making things other than what they were. If the process proves to their advantage - or at least to someone's advantage - then this is a valuable bonus.

She subscribes enthusiastically to the idea that reality, to be adequately comprehended, must be experienced through various lenses, the more the better. For most, diversity of views are not often found within the same person; they must be experienced sequentially over time, or through mind-altering substances, or by exchange of views with another person. To be able to change form, as she can, is to be able to transcend this limitation and see many things in new lights.

Similarly, because her powers allow her to change the form of other beings, she considers doing so to be a gift, an act of benevolence on par with healing, and is overjoyed if called upon to do so. While she generally will not force change on an unwilling enenkal based on her own desires, she will respond to requests from higher authority to do so, seeing them as a sign from her chosen god(s). Non-sapient plants and animals are, of course, fair game.

She does not set out to cause physical pain in her work and will avoid it if she can, but at least if it is temporary and apparently a necessary step in what she is doing, she will do so regardless; it is simply the price of change. Psychological damage or trauma is, of course, simply part of changing one's perspective, to which making an adjustment is one's own affair (and, in any case, one can always call on a qualified mentalist if they feel the need).

Puugwol is a devotee of the [ˌk͜ʘaːq.diɬ.ʃen.ˈnaj], the Lords of Remaking of her native faith. She believes that her ability to shift form brings her closer to her god(s) by allowing her, like it/them, different perspectives at will.

Puugwol is probably the only inhabitant of the Citadel to hail from southwestern Sekhaa. Though it is said that the region looks more tolerantly on the Chosen than many others inhabited by takmar, it is not known what her life was like there; though she seems to have been well-integrated enough to partake of, and retain, parts of her culture's religion, she otherwise has undergone significant effort to shed most remnants of her past and does not seem inclined to talk about them, either due to her beliefs about change or to past hardships (or both). Given her powers, it cannot be said that her current physical form reflects the way she was born, though a general preference for female forms suggests that this may have been her original gender identity.

Eventually, however, she felt called to the Citadel, and arrived there at some point in 84 Cloud 26; exactly when is not clear, as she was possibly the first person since the middle of the Cloud Era to slip through the mountains and the watchposts unobserved. It was Dlyss who first realized what had happened, and, seeing a possible asset, quietly contacted Puugwol and had her moved out of sight. Her quarters are on Oghiras, though she has occasionally been brought through to Hzataal-managed facilities in the Citadel.
