BLOOD FLAME → A droplet of blood falls and turns into a small, floating mote of flame. You can control its motion and size (up to 1 foot in radius), and the flame will last 10 minutes in duration if held in its original state. Otherwise, the flame can be thrown like a projectile, or sat on the ground to create a stationary blaze with the ability to grow and ignite other objects.

Level One
Disguise Self allows for an nonhuman modification in addition to its previous capabilities. While your form remains humanoid, you may choose one functional and distinctly nonhuman feature to exhibit as well. Once your choice of functional feature is locked in, you may choose to exhibit this one specific feature anytime the spell is used. (Examples of functional features include longer/extra-jointed limbs for longer jumping, an extra pair of either set of limbs, a pair of wings, rows of savage shark-like teeth in your jaws, etc.) This functional feature will manifest for one hour.
All other modifications made using this spell can last up to four hours now.
Your number of daily castings remains the same.

Level Two
Adaptation can now last up to four hours.
You are capable of using this god power roughly 5 times a day.

Level Three
You can now cast Polymorph!
The updated buffs for Polymorph are as follows: This spell transforms a willing creature that you can see within 60 feet of you into a new form. The transformation lasts for up to four hours, or until the affected creature is knocked unconscious, at which point they return to their original form. When you cast this spell, you choose what form the affected creature takes. It can be any animal that is less than seven feet tall and weighs no more than 250 pounds. The creature is limited in ability by the nature of its new form, and it can't speak, cast spells, or perform any other action that requires hands or speech.

Written Requirement:
Ariadne was starting to find her place in Asgard. She had a few trusted friends who knew her secrets. A garden to cultivate. A feeling like she could genuinely help. And a bedroom all to herself (whoa!). All things considered, live was good. In fact, she didn't really think she could want more, other than a few explanations. Leave it to her friend Peter Quill to throw off her balance a little. At the party in the castle, they struck up a casual conversation which hit a funny nerve with Ariadne. Thinking about him marrying Gamora, possibly having children with her, Ariadne realized that they were living in a place where such children would be accepted. Potentially green children, that is. Sharing her secret with Peter was one thing, of course. But green for the whole world to see? It was possible here, wasn't it?

She might have let it settle there, but something decidedly unsettling came to light that same night, in the form of Padme Amidala. When they laid eyes on one another, it was like looking in a mirror. Ariadne immediately came clean to Padme, not wanting to give her the wrong idea. Padme, of course, was more than patient and tolerant. But it left Ariadne with a bad taste in her mouth. Was she stealing someone else's face? That was different from trying to blend in. And it sort of stank of bad intentions.

The questions from the ball bothered her over the next few weeks. When Kol Mikaelson, a new friend she found quite fascinating, introduced her to the concept of new years resolutions, Ariadne decided she needed to jump on board. Her resolution? "Try to live a more honest life." But how to to about doing that, while still surviving? Another new friend, Connor, told her about how his "people" fought for the same rights and fair treatment as Humans. Ariadne found herself desperate to know more, haunted by the possibility. If them, why not Alastrians as well? The idea of coming out as Alastrian was a daunting one. For guidance, she turned to her pal, Jim Kirk. As always, he proved both supportive and confusing. But mostly supportive. Which gave Ariadne the reassurance she needed to open up.

So Ariadne went live with her secret, broadcasting her true form for everyone on the network to see. Although she expected backlash, she was surprised on any number of fronts. Not only did Brother Cadfael, the person she'd been lying to the most forgive her. But even strangers she'd never met before were willing to forgive her. People like Chizuru Yukimura even wanted to know more about her! This changed Ariadne's entire perspective on Asgard and the people therein.

Level One: Disguise Self: You make yourself, including your clothing, armor, weapons, and other belongings on your person, look different for up to ten minutes. You can't change your body type (i.e. from humanoid to avian), so you must adopt a form that has the same basic arrangement of limbs, and may only appear as 1 foot taller or shorter than your real form. Otherwise, the extent of the illusion is up to you. The changes wrought by this spell fail to hold up to physical inspection, and anything you pick up after the spell is cast is not included in its effects.
Level Two: Adaptation: As your surroundings change, so does your physical form: for up to one hour, your features shift to allow you to better survive in difficult environments. If you are submerged underwater, you grow gills; if buried alive, your hands morph into claws to allow you to dig yourself out. See the link for the full list of effects; only one effect can active at a time, and the effect can be dismissed early if the environment changes and is no longer necessary.
Level Three: Polymorph: This spell transforms a willing creature that you can see within 60 feet of you into a new form. The transformation lasts for up to 1 hour, or until the affected creature is knocked unconscious, at which point they return to their original form. When you cast this spell, you choose what form the affected creature takes. It can be any animal that is less than 7 feet tall and weighs no more than 250 pounds. The creature is limited in ability by the nature of its new form, and it can't speak, cast spells, or perform any other action that requires hands or speech.

Written Requirement: Ariadne was born and raised in a world that demanded she hide exactly who and what she was. Thanks to genetic luck, she inherited her mother's ability to pass for a Human, an ability that she lost the second she arrived in Asgard. Ariadne immediately sought new ways to hide herself, and was surprised when she met Josie and learned that her attitude toward non-humanoids was tolerant and peaceful. This conversation convinced Ariadne to press her luck and reveal her true self to Josie, who immediately accepted her without any fear or hesitation. It wasn't the first time a humanoid had seen her true form, but it was the first time that Ariadne had the choice. And she knew she was going to need allies.

Filled with hope about Josie's kindness, Ariadne attempted to reveal herself a second time, this time to Lucifer, over the network. His response was confusing, but not at all hostile. Because she didn't understand it, she remained guarded. But some of the fear started to evaporate. She opened up about her wings for the first time to Ivar (the swan). This was something she'd never talked about with anyone, not at home and certainly not in Asgard. Admittedly, she thought Ivar was a swan. But it was good practice.

With Peter Quill, who initially thought she was an alien and not all that weird, Ariadne started to open up a little about the life she left behind. Specifically, she revealed some of the details of the war and the Red Dragon, both of which managed to disrupt her childhood and lead her down her path of secrecy.

Ironically, when Ariadne was finally gifted with the ability to shapeshift, she lost control of her powers and accidentally revealed her true form to Jim Kirk. Like Peter, Jim was almost blase about the whole thing. But it inspired a new change in Ariadne. For the first time in her life, she started to wonder if she truly needed to hide at all. Not just her form, but her entire self, a self she'd only shared in bits and pieces.

Character Name: Ariadne of Valeria
Age: Nineteen
God Houses:

Option A: Sigyn
Ariadne grew up in a forest and, as such, as a great affinity for plants. Her intimate knowledge of the smells and uses of flora came with her to Valeria, a place settled and "cultivated," where the forests didn't run wild. A culture shock, to be certain. Missing the wilds of her youth, she took to gardening as a hobby, quickly becoming a favorite among the kitchen staff (and making up for her utter inability to cook anything). She understands soil and moisture, and deeply respects the natural processes of nature. She loves her plants so fiercely that she names them. And sometimes talks to them. Actually, talks to them quite a bit. Had she not become a thief for the rebellion, she might have made a decent healer and gardener.

But, of course, her affinity for Sigyn goes beyond the harvest. Just as Sigyn is a font of kindness, so too is Ariadne. You might argue there's not a single cruel bone in her body. A slight exaggeration, but grounded in the truth. When asked if she's a thief, Ariadne will insist that she isn't. Thieves have bad intentions, she never does. What she takes goes to the cause of goodness and righteousness. She treats everyone she meets with love and respect. Even enemies. Ariadne would never take a life. And although she can fight and fend for herself, she always uses the least lethal of weapons and the aims for the least lethal of targets.

Option B: Njord
Ariadne is a liar. There's no escaping that fact. Her intentions may be the purest of the pure, but they also aim for survival in an incredibly dangerous world. As a thief, she'll play a variety of roles to get what she wants. Sometimes, she's a dignitary's secretary. Sometimes, she's a minor noble. She'll sneak behind closed doors, scale rooftops, even dig small tunnels under fences. If caught, she'll make up plausible excuses, leaning heavily on the fact that people perceive her as a frail girl who doesn't know a thing about the world.

She's also a storyteller. Even when she's in Valeria, in the company of the people she knows, she's still lying. She's created a biography for herself that hides her Alastrian blood. To everyone but her aunt and Princess Amanda, Ariadne is a simple Human girl. The losses she's endured, the fear of being hunted for her hair, and even her family have been blurred away, hidden behind a more pleasant fiction. And while Ariadne doesn't necessarily believe her own lies, they come to her so naturally that she barely has to think.

Additionally, Alastrians have a deep love of language, often capable of picking up new tongues very, very quickly.
