Unique Conditions

Physical Transformation: (lasting) Mark this condition when changing into your animal form. Clothing and belongings on your person do not change with you. While this condition is marked, the following apply:

Take the Form of the [Animal] aspect in addition to your other aspects.

Swap the ratings of any two approaches with any other two approaches, to reflect your animal form. For example, if you are a werefox and your highest approaches in human form are Force and Intellect, you might swap your ratings in Haste and Guile for those two while transformed.

Gain all the inherent abilities of that animal, which may confer automatic success on certain rolls. For example, if you’re a bird, you can fly, which renders certain movement-related obstacles inconsequential. However, you also gain all their inherent limitations, such as not being able to speak or lacking opposable thumbs.

You also benefit from scale (page 182) when using your animal form to exceed human capabilities: keen predatory senses, inordinate strength or speed, overly large or small form that provides access to something inaccessible to normal mortals. Any opposition you face, however, will have a level of scale against you whenever you are at a significant disadvantage compared to human beings. You and the GM should collectively name a few examples as guidelines of when you would benefit from scale and when you deal with scale in opposition.

Recovery of this condition begins when you retake human form; full recovery requires concrete efforts to recharge from the experience, such as enjoying a hearty meal or uninterrupted rest. The GM may allow this recovery to occur between any two scenes involving a sufficient time jump.

Character Aspects

High Concept

Reluctant Daughter of Fox the Trickster

Your fathermother was a demigod, a trickster, and you don't quite know what to do with that.

Invoke:

Compel:

Trouble Aspect

Reckless to a Fault

There's not much you won't do, and there's not much point in thinking on it first. That's how the term premeditated gets introduced in the courtroom.

Invo/pel: When your reckless nature might get you in deeper than you wanted. When the smart plan is to let cooler heads prevail.

Free Aspects

Child of the Ways Between

The Ways between the Mortal Realm and the Nevernever pulse with a life all their own. You have been steeped in their power and mystery your entire life, and no matter how far you wander, they always draw you back.

Invoke: When using the Ways themselves or tapping into the Wild Magic of the Ways and the Wild Nevernever. When travelling or planning to travel. When dealing with things in-between.

Compel: When the lure of the Ways might lead you astray

The Compel on this one feels a little weak to me, but I'm having trouble coming up with better.

"Hexen-freude, Bitches!"

The energy of the Ways courses through your veins, and it does not play nice with modern technology - a trait you've been known to put to good use in the Mortal Realm.

Invoke: When you want to bring tech crashing down.

Compel: when you need tech to not come crashing down.

Not gonna lie, this is my favorite Aspect on this character.

I Got Friends in Low Places

Walking the Ways means you get around. You've met a lot of people - people with unique and specialized skills and expertise - and you aren't the least bit picky about pedigree.

Invoke: When you need to locate a specialist in a given task or field.

Compel: When the specialist is shadier than you thought they'd be.

This one is here in part to give Alice a distinct, if tenuous connection to the Undercity and other criminal elements without straight up throwing her headfirst into that mix.

Approaches

Guile

Intellect / Haste

Focus/ Force

Flair

Core Stunts

Glyphs and Sigils: You utilize a set of powerful runes to wield ancient Norse magic. Choose two different combinations of approach and action, then name the effect associated with them. A defend action with Force might be a “ward of power,” or an attack with Guile a “shadow strike.” Either combination grants +2, with scale (page 182) determined by the GM.

Crazy Like a Fox [Intellect/CAA]

Bending the Real [Focus/Overcome]

Shifting Adept: When you transform into your animal form, your clothes and anything else on your person likewise transform and return undamaged when you shift back. Anything stored in this way is perfectly concealed and can be affected only from within the Nevernever

Additional Stunts

More Glyphs and Sigils: You are versed in a wider variety of rune magic. Choose a third combination of approach and action, per the Rune Magic stunt. Although this stunt may be taken repeatedly, the same combination of approach and action may not be repeated.

 ? [Guile/Defense]

Briar Patch: You are able to quickly cross short distances by briefly sidestepping reality. Gain +2 to use Haste to defend or create an advantage.

Fleeting Transformation: Use of the transformative magic is practically reflexive to you. Treat the Physical Transformation condition as sticky, requiring no time or rest between activations.

Stress & Conditions

Stress

In Peril

Doomed

Indebted

Refresh

Spent two of my three refresh on additional stunts.

Personal Details

I'll do this bit after I know she's locked in mechanically.
