{{Tab}} | {{Tab}}Isra stands just over six feet at her full height, but usually carries herself a bit lower. She has no hair and hardly any body fat, and tight cords of muscles run beneath beneath her brown skin. Her eyes are hazel-green, their outer corners slanted up toward the roots of backswept horns that sprout from above each temple. She has bat-like wings that span twelve feet when fully extended, and a partially prehensile tail. Until recently, Isra has dressed in extremely conservative clothes to conceal the more obvious of her physical mutations. Not anymore. | ||

{{Tab}}There, while working on her doctoral thesis in protostellar dynamics, Isra attended a seminar on cutting-edge genetics by guest lecturer Charles Xavier. She was subsequently offered a teaching position by Xavier’s School for Gifted Youngsters. While initially reluctant to leave the research opportunities in the city, Isra changes her mind after visiting the school. She now teaches astronomy and physics while continuing to pursue her doctorate. | {{Tab}}There, while working on her doctoral thesis in protostellar dynamics, Isra attended a seminar on cutting-edge genetics by guest lecturer Charles Xavier.

{{Tab}}She has recently learned that her physical mutations are not stable but continue to develop. The most obvious addictions are a pair of bony horns upon her head, but her the nails on her fingers, toes, and wings are also growing harder and thicker. | |||

Even with no training, she can easily outrun most humans and deadlift her own weight. However, she rarely takes advantage of these abilities except under duress. Her wings and tail give her superior balance, but she has never attempted flight. Were she to do so without first strengthening the neglected wing muscles, the result would be comical at best. | ||
{{Tab}}The least obvious feature of Isra’s mutation is also the one she values most: acute night vision. | {{Tab}}The least obvious feature of Isra’s mutation is also the one she values most: acute night vision. | ||
