Branwen

Branwen is a shapechanger with good motherly instincts. She's frequently the rational voice of the [party] and isn't afraid to take point in most situations.

Physical Characteristics
Branwen is usually a half-elf woman of average height with dark brown hair and a forest ranger's look about her. When she needs to get violent, however, she shifts to a large grizzly bear with claws the size of the heads that roll from her enemy's shoulders.

Reason for Existing
Branwen just wants to protect her home, as far as her new friends know. 'Her home' just happens to have a vague definition.
