"An accomplished hunter who can shape-shift into a bird of prey."

This idea thread got a couple dozen different takes on a purposely short character concept in a couple days, some impenetrable statblocks but some characterised and flavourful.

And in my case, I kinda want to do something with the character I knocked together, a mildly elfy ranger-wannabe part-time-eagle in a Buffy game.

Name: Curled Claws of the Grey Oak People ("Claw" to her friends)
Type: Hero
Description: Lean and wiry, with spiky brown hair and hazel eyes verging on orange. Hippy/practical/rambler style, wears a claw necklace on a leather strap but doesn't make a big thing of it.

“Ancient Elven peoples, mystical calling to protect the wild wood, it's a whole big thing. Ooh, are those crisps gluten-free? My mom says I always ate like a bird anyway.”
