All I know is I forgot to mention something important about her. The abilities she has effects her personality sometimes. If she stays in her shadow form for a long period of time it can make her vicious, cruel, dark, sadistic, and almost unfeeling when it comes to the people around her. Though it only lasts for short periods of time.

Thought I should give you a heads up on the reason for Shade's sudden mood swing.

Did not expect to spend my Saturday in bed with a nightmarish headache. Replies might be slow today.
Bio
So, hello all, I'm Shi. I've been participating in play-by-post roleplays for the past 8 years, though I did just come back from a break. If I'm working with you and go silent for more than a week without any explanation or heads up please send me a message and call me out on it. (Check my status if this happens. I leave most of these warnings there now.) I honestly just lose the motivation to write a lot...or forget to give a warning and then feel super guilty and put off replying longer.
On a better note; I just recently completed college and my schedule has opened up for the first time in years. Unlike before I am no longer balancing school, work, and life.
That is all...
"My life is my own, its secrets are mine,
I keep my world to myself, so don't cross the line,
But if fiction is what you are looking for, then I will be there,
A pen in my hand and a story to share.
That is what I am here for, to create stories galore,
Epics of heroes, battles of gore,
Lives unheard of, worlds not yet explored,
I am here to write, to no longer be bored."

Shade, still oblivious to the robot behind her, jumped onto the robot before her. Her hands quickly slashed at the wires as it flailed its arms in an attempt to get the girl off its shoulders. The shard made contact with the frail little things running the metal man, slicing them cleanly apart. With a shudder the bot collapsed, the thin girl flipping off its shoulders before it landed and landing in a crouch on her feet. It was then she noticed the other robot, the one whose arm was glowing brighter. In a panic the girl ducked, only for nothing to happen.
Shade stood back straight, looking over at it confused. The ray had malfunctioned. Something had been lodged in the beam’s pathway. Her eyes flitted over to the mystery man again. “You keep saving my life today don’t you?” she joked before approaching the malfunctioning bot. It flailed, backing up only to trip over one of its companions and fall over.
“Alright, who sent you and what purpose do they have?” she asked, her eyes becoming darker. It was as if her personality switched over, something that hadn’t happened in a long time. In seconds she had her boots clad foot on top of its throat, keeping it down forcefully since it didn’t need to breathe in the first place. “I’m not joking! Who’s behind this Tin-man!!” she yells, her voice suddenly menacing and cruel.
In response a flickering light began to flicker across its face, almost like a television screen. It wasn’t just this one though, it was all of the robots, or at least the still functioning ones. A man’s face appeared on it, though it was hidden by a mask, the mask however didn’t mask the chilling grin on his face.

That's a scary thought.
It makes sense, after all if he had attacked her just then she would have just disappeared before reappearing to attack him. If he stays around her long enough he might find out the little tidbits that make her weak. Or find her hideout since she doesn't walk in to it, ever, so it has no door of any kind.

One of the bots lunged at her, only to grab at air as the girl disappeared into the shadows. The creature didn’t have much time to counteract though as she appeared behind it with a sharp object made of shadows in her hand. In seconds she had cut through some of the exposed wires, resulting in the beast collapsing into a heap of unmoving metal. “Try cutting the wires, the ones that are exposed!” she yells to the man who had seemingly helped her. Not sparing any more time with words she spun around, shadow weapon in hand as she leapt at a new opponent.
There had been four of the metal men just seconds before but since her last enemy now lay motionless there was just three left. One of the unlucky three now stood before her, trying it’s best to catch the girl of shadows but she merely disappeared each time it reached for her. In her haste though she didn’t notice the other metal contraption walk up behind her, ready to blast her with some sort of ray on it’s arm.

I think the poor creatures would either be kick butt and be able to do un-cat-like things or they'd be scared all the time.
Kind of both, mostly philosophical though. I am starting to wonder how we're going to get him to work with her without trying to kill her though.

Terror's Kitten Shop.
Oddly enough I can kind of see that working, like a little pet shop of horrors with just kittens.

Every time there's not something more pressing he goes to take shade out, is it really just the fact that there's a hero in 'His' city, or is it something more? The world will never know.
Oh and if you can't tell, Shade can be oblivious sometimes. It's one of her many flaws.

Terror really doesn't seem to like my character does he?
Maybe she should be thanking the robots for getting in his way?(Sarcastic but it's kind of true.)

Alexandra was puzzled by this new being, questioning her presence. It was becoming hard to do that though as the strange ooze worked its way into her system, making it hard to focus on anything. The ground felt as if it was spinning under her feet while her throat felt as if it were constricting due to the substance no doubt coating her esophagus. “Guys-“ she attempted to say, wanting to reason that they should probably get far away from this girl. Her words however came out in a desperate wheeze, the shape-shifters lips becoming numb. That’s when it became hard to fight this poisonous substance, her entire form slumping sideways into Xerc like she was a rag doll. She couldn’t move, her eye lids drooping as her eyes glazed over and her vision blurred to a point where she couldn’t see the new girl’s face.
“You don’t look so good.” Marianne chimed, looking a little worried in Alex’s direction. The tiny girl stepped a tad closer, seemingly looking at the ooze that coated our group. “No. That really isn’t good.” She adds, suddenly stepping back. The girl’s eyes conveyed the fact she didn’t want to come in contact with the substance, yet she seemed to know something the group did not. “Maybe I can help.” She finishes, a smile on her lips.

A loud metallic thud sounded in the air as the dart hit the bot, the sound alerting the woman on the ledge to the two behind her. Her head swiveled around, shocked by the sound, only to find a giant robot behind her with some sort of projectile sticking out of some sizzling wires. Behind it was a man, his arm pointed towards the bot.
So that’s where that dart came from.
Shade quickly swung her feet back over the ledge, using the momentum to kick the metal man over the side before standing up gracefully. Her icy-grey eyes locked with the man before her, a small smile on her face. “Thanks.” She chimes, the word sweetly falling from her lips.
How did they even get up here?
That question would be left unanswered though when she noticed dozens more of these metallic men appear on the streets below. Shade almost jumped right then and there, wanting to stop these new threats, but she was stopped when a handful of the bots landed around this new guy and her. They were outnumbered and surrounded. What was going on?

As the hands retreated they harshly dropped a struggling Alexandra, her sleek black jaguar form landing on her back. She quickly attempted to stand, already spitting up the tar-like liquid coating her teeth, yet her feet gave out under her with a shudder. A growl escaped her lips as she once again struggled to stand, finally standing up on four unstable legs. This stuff, it had already taken down one of them, and Alex was determined to beat it.
The shape-shifter quickly lets her bones turn back into her usual form, but her disheveled condition didn’t change. Her white hair was dripping in the black ooze, her lips coated with the disgusting substance like her pale fingers, the liquid even dripped from her clothes. Seeing herself in the mirrors though she began to worry, how much of this stuff did she take in? “There’s nowhere else to go. The other way is a dead end as well.” She says, her eyes scanning the hall for any escape. “Wait, is that- A door!!” Alex chimed, shocked as her eyes locked onto a reflective knob on the wall. With steps much slower than her usual pace she stepped up to it and opened the door, shocked to find a relatively normal hallway that seemed to open up to a foyer of sorts. “It looks safe enough, come on.” She quickly calls, her voice slurring slightly. Alexandra shook her head to get rid of the dizzy feeling. No. She wouldn’t let herself fall to this, she had to get out of here.
