Appearance
With a petite frame and tanned, freckled skin, Linde does not look like more than an average citizen to the untrained eye. Her jade eyes and Tuscan red hair do little to avert this conclusion either, and nor do her varying attire. Perhaps it's a set of ebon dress pants, a crisp white shirt, crimson tie and dark bartender's vest, or maybe it's one of the two dresses she loves to wear, in either case paired with black combat boots, crimson knee-high socks and maybe her favorite long forest green coat. Or maybe it's something new.
Of course, as all nexusgoers know, few are average or stay average for long in the nexus, and Krista is not one of those few.
Personality
Linde is at heart a woman of curiosity and indulgence. She loves to tinker and learn, never more at home than when she sits down at a workbench or delves into a good book. However, Linde is a bit gluttonous in more than just her hunger to learn. You see, before her change of diet, she took delight in savoring food, though never to the extent of obesity, a trait Linde still exhibits in her infatuation with coffee and her binge-eating tendencies.
Her personality is far from unbridled gluttony, however: Linde's once impulsive nature and indulgent behavior is tempered by the wariness that she's developed, among with a healthy dose of suspicion. Linde is at ease deceiving and with a quick mind always analyzing, developing escape routes and determining personalities. This is all due to a life of being hunted, always having to stay one jump ahead of the lawmen or else meet a swift end. Prey survives only if it knows to be vigilant. However, being hunted is not the only way Linde developed these traits, for by nature she is a hunter as well, learning to analyze and deceive in order to corner and consume her quarry.
Abilities
Ghoul Physiology
Due to her status as a hybrid ghoul, Linde has quite a few supernatural traits. Her skin is quite tough, normal attacks from guns and blades unable to pierce through it, though strikes of strong enough force or attacks from kagune can damage her despite this. Linde's strength is also boosted, and regeneration keeps her on her feet.
One of the most interesting traits being a ghoul grants her is a very acute sense of smell. To Linde, every race smells different and delicious (their blood, more so). This is all for the purpose of hunting, for being a ghoul means Linde must feast on the flesh of humanoid beings. Her powers weaken without it, and she can starve. The food humans and others eat tastes absolutely repulsive to her and makes her sick to the stomach if consumed.
Ghoul Physiology: Chimera
Linde is a special type of Half-ghoul known as a chimera, meaning she possesses two different combat appendages known as Kagune. Linde possesses an Utaku and Rinkaku kagune, the former bloodred wing-shaped appendages that shift as she wills, able to launch parts of them as crystals and shield herself with them. Rinkaku kagune is a set of blood-red tentacles that sprout from the waist, used to spear as well as grapple or assist in movement.
To use a kagune does require energy from consumption of flesh, and can be taxing to release.
