HistoryEdit

Early life Edit

Luna is of Mexican descent on her mother's side and Indian descent on her father's side. Luna's mother died giving birth to her and she was raised by her father and grandparents in a Navajo reservation. As Luna's mother died giving birth to her, Luna is responsible for indirectly ending her mother's life. A shapeshifter who kills another shapeshifting member of their family becomes a skinwalker, someone capable of turning into any animal (including humans) on Earth. The Navajo believed skinwalkers to be evil witches so Luna most likely had a difficult time growing up. At some stage, she shapeshifted into her dead mother. Luna deemed the experience "crazy" and "scary" but she was also happy to assume the form her own mother who she never remembered.

Powers & Abilities Edit

Shapeshifting - Luna is able to shapeshift into any other animal at will although she is forced to change on a full moon. While most Shapeshifters can only turn into typical animals, Luna is also capable of transforming into other humans because she killed another Shapeshifting member of her family; as her mother died giving birth to her. This makes Luna a Skinwalker.

Superhuman Strength - As a Shapeshifter, Luna is also slightly stronger than humans though she is no match for even newborn vampires.

Superhuman Speed - Luna has slightly superior speed while in human form. Her speed peaks while in the form of fast animals.

Superhuman Senses - Luna has greatly enhanced senses.

Luna is a Hispanic woman with dark hair and eyes and lives in Dallas.
