At first glance, you see what looks like a saphire-colored chakat run through a cinematography post-processing suite.

The first thing that catches the eye is hir size: shi's BIG. Shi stands 6' 4" at the shoulder of hir upper torso, and that doesn't even take hir head and neck into account. It gives hir a decidedly short-legged look, with hir lower shoulders only 3' 3" from hir foreclaws.

Hir lower torso is even more noteworthy: although relatively low to the ground, hir long, slinky body stretches about 9 feet from hir lower shoulders to the base of hir tail. If it weren't for hir obviously feline features, you could be forgiven for mistaking hir lower body for that of an ermine or ferret-taur.

Forgiven, that is, if you could possibly miss a rather unique feature: the long, deep cobalt mane that runs in a long ridge from the base of hir upper torso, down hir spine, and down the dizzying 7 feet of hir visible tail, ending in a rather large, several inch wide and long tuft of fur that makes it impossible to determine exactly where hir tail ends.

Even more unique are the wings that sprout from just behind the shoulders of hir lower torso. They're not feathered, but they aren't leathery like a bat's or a dragon's. Instead, they seem to be covered in a very soft, velvet-like covering of very short fur.

Shi stretches, hir spine arcing in a smooth curve, twisting slightly from side to side as if working out the kinks. Hir wings spread to their full length behind hir, stretching 10 feet into the air like long sails made of the softest fuzzy blankets you've ever seen. Shi smiles innocently, although there's something in hir eyes... Something seems almost to shine behind the feline pupils at the centers of hir bright blue eyes, like liquid sapphire crystal that hints at a much deeper part of hir soul.
