Jenny Lou Davies | Rifter OC canon update

Character: Jenny Lou
New Canon Point: Just after setting out to do some soul searching solo traveling
Synopsis:
* Trained with some witches! Got better at her magic while her mentors tried to figure out why the fuck a teenager was sent on a quest to kill a god! Meets some sketchy Briton priests!

* Things came to a head with her dad and her high elf fiancé! They went incredibly poorly, the high elf king killed her dad and Jenny Lou got trapped in the Fae realm!

* Trapped in the fae realm for a whole ass year, made some friends, made some not friends, got better at magic, had some encounters with the seething masses of Mordred, the evil god she's meant to be killing!

* Road Trip To Camelot.

* Fight through the overrun castle to the Old King's tomb, try to do the resurrection, get interrupted by Mordred, dramatic fight sequence. King Arthur is resurrected before the killing blow to Mordred is struck! Hurray! Relief cut short when he commands his knights be gathered to begin a Crusade to bring the other realms to heel! FUCK!

* Road Trip back thru Camelot, this time with an advancing horde on their tail, trying to convince the Sainted Knights not side with King Arthur and also try to figure out how to put another god, it's a deeply mixed bag. Gawain's there to help, the Briton priests are Decidedly Not.

* Climactic Last Battle. Rag tag group of misfits, assorted armies rolling up like it's Lord of the Rings. Jenny Lou is nearly killed while in the form of Gringolet, but manages to survive, though she loses the ability to shift into his form. Gets in a brawl with King Arthur, wins by the skin of her teeth.

* Post Event Horizon, with steep costs both physical and emotional, Jenny Lou gets time to heal up, but once she crosses back into the mortal realm, has a lot of trouble reconciling the things she's experienced with the life she's trying to lead now, even with the help of her new friends/found family. Makes the decision to pick up and travel solo again, specifically where the wilder, magical things dwell.

Key Character Developments:
- Has more stable shape shifting forms that she can access without needing to touch the animal, four of which she can access in Thedas*:
* a turkey vulture
* a cat
* a wild boar
* a hippo

* (she no longer has unfettered access to a horse form and like all other forms has to come in physical contact with the animal within 24 hours of shifting, then loses the form after that set time)

- Her wind powers are more refined (she still can't pull the air out of someone's lungs or manipulate objects like telekinisis, but she can create whirlwinds of varying sizes and strength. As per previous nerf, it works similar to primal magic and the stronger the wind, the less time she's able to sustain it and she can't cast it while in animal form.)

- She's 20 now!
- A lot more Tired and less inclined to take every fight that comes her way. More confident and self assured, much less feral teenage trouble maker. Much more comfortable in battle and crisis situations.
- Middling swordsman (swordswoman?), leveled up her sneaky stats and can pick most locks now.
- Lost an arm and an eye in the Event Horizon and has spent the last 2~ years learning how to compensate, suddenly having those things back/never actually losing them is gonna fuck with her.
