SUBJECT C- 394

CORE DATA

Name: Karen Emily Thomson

Date of Birth: 12th December 1993

Gender: Female

Species: Gryphon, formerly human

Threat Level: D. Do not engage unarmed.

Registered: 7th October 2010

Location: RASA. 7 Birch Street. Ranelk. Idaho.

Family: Ernest Thomson, Sylvia Thomson Nee Montoya, Oliver Thomson. All human.

Security: Tracker installed in left hind leg.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION:

-True form: C-394 appears as an adolescent gryphon of grey coat, though she refutes this claim due to tetrachromia. She has a smooth head, hooked beak, and yellow eyes. She has a wingspan of 24 feet when fully extended, a length of 11 feet and a scar on her left flank.

-Veiled form: C-394 appears as a teenager of Caucasian descent, with blue eyes and caramel brown hair. She stands five foot four inches, and has numerous freckles.

-Original form: C-394 was a teenager of mixed descent, with dark eyes, dark brown hair, and tan skin. She stands five foot two inches, with sharp features and a thin build.

PERSONALITY:

C-394 is aggressive and territorial. Staff are discouraged from standing within wing reach. She is more active than other gryphons, often running, jumping and exercising for her own amusement. She has a sharp mind, and sensitive information should not be discussed within the same chamber as her.

She is quite reckless, and prone to rapidly changing moods. Her pride is a noted point, and the best method to get C-394 to open up or perform a task appears to be doubting her capacity to do so. This method should not be overused lest she figure out what reverse psychology is.

She has little empathy, but will try to fake emotion to match human social cues.

ANOMALOUS NOTES

Due to the rare nature of permanent trans-species changes, C-394 has a number of concerning properties and behaviours that merit further investigation.

Magical History: C-394 had previous interest in magic, and had used a form of Veil manufactured by Mr Logan Tohaken twice, on Wednesday 25th September and Saturday 28th September. C-394 initially spent one hour as a Naga, and then two hours as a Red Tailed Hawk.

NOTE- SEE, THIS IS WHY THE MAGE REGISTRATION ACT NEEDS PRIORITIZED-Dave.

Note- Mr Logan Tohaken would be qualified by the act regardless.-Kirk.

NOTE- THE MAGE REGISTRATION ACT NEEDS MORE WORK- Dave.

C-394 reported seeing a spiritual anomalous entity upon Sunday 29th September. Called the Bad Egg, this entity exhibited many avian traits. No other reports.

Note- This entity appears to be a completely mental fabrication as a result of the stress on her mind.- Dr. Verity.

Note- You’re not a Doctor and anyway, we don’t sign off with such in memos. -Kirk.

Missing Mutton: Despite having been acquired shortly after hunting two sheep, C-394 held a surprisingly low body weight when weighed and did not appear to have eaten recently.

Theory: The Matter Debt: Ordinarily in magical transformations, a temporary though considerable change in mass occurs. This mass appears magically and vanishes in the same manner. In C-394’s case, she magically created permanent matter rather than temporary. Could the mutton have paradoxically been erased or instantaneously been reconstituted into her body to neutralize the supernatural change in mass? -Morris.

Identity Notes: C-394’s identity has been verified by Mage A2, Verity.

Note-During interview, Dr Morris conducted further testing on C-394 to check her self awareness and knowledge of her claimed identity. Subject was particular about her middle name, knew blood type, and adamant about minor gymnastic details. These are consistent with information concerning Karen Thomson. -Morris

Note- Gee thanks for double checking my work. - Dr Verity.

Behavioural Distinctions: Despite her origins, C-394 does not operate from a human mindset. Her mental state and behaviour display many mannerisms and instincts befitting an anomalous predator, including:

-Frontal vision- Rather than moving her eyes to follow objects, C-394 follows with her entire head as befitting a creature with avian vision. She also benefits from Tetrachromia as a Gryphon, and so can perceive additional colours.

-Prey- C-394 considers sheep and other herbivores to be a food source, and is likely to attempt hunting again. Her guardian should be fully briefed on the importance of keeping her sated.

-Food Choice- When presented with a buffet of cheese, chocolate, ham, biscuits and grapes, C-394 ate only the ham and requested more before she was finished.

-Dominance- C-394 will always attempt to appear larger than another individual. In gryphon form she will use her wings, fur and stance to suggest greater size. In human form she is likely to stand or climb on things. Extended eye contact also provokes an aggressive reaction.

-Note- Extended eye contact tends to provoke that in anyone. -Kirk.

-Claustrophobia-C-394 becomes stressed in spaces smaller than 25 feet across. This is common among gryphons, though she has little experience dealing with it and is more likely to act irrationally as a result.

-Bunting- When reunited with her father, C-394 immediately headbutted him numerous times to help mark him as hers, a bonding tactic seen in felines, including Guard C3.

-Sharpening- C-394 often scratches matter in either form in an effort to return claws to a sharp state.

-Locomotion- C-394 occasionally crawls on all fours when Veiled rather than usual human gait. Stairs seem likely to provoke this behaviour.

Because of these traits, it is advised that monthly check-ups be conducted with C-394 to ascertain if her mental state is degenerating or turning more feral. Knowledge of whether this change is dynamic could be vital in helping her and protecting the Ranelk Anomalous Settlement Area community.
