Mara can feel the warmth of the woman sitting behind her; she's at the smaller size of a woman, just like the grand duchess. But seeing the way she kills her old comrade, Mara knows that the woman behind her isn't just an ordinary beta female.
Meanwhile, as a half-white tiger beastman and half-demon, her appearance reflects the fierce blend of two powerful bloodlines. Her tall, muscular frame exudes raw strength, honed through countless battles.
Her skin carries a faint, pale undertone, reminiscent of moonlight on snow, hinting at her white tiger heritage. Dark stripes mark her arms and shoulders like natural war paint, subtle yet unmistakable, glowing faintly when her beast blood is roused in combat.
Her long, black hair flows like a wild mane, streaked with silvery strands that shimmer under the moonlight, a sign of her demon lineage. Atop her head, sharp, furred ears twitch restlessly, their white tips contrasting with the darker fur beneath.
