Name: Wings of the Angel
Magic: None, but must be activated
Effect: Mairi-chan grows a pair of feathery wings that match her hair in color. The wings enable her to fly. They are small, cherubic wings to match her child-guise.
Past: There is more to Mairi-chan than meets the eye. She seems to be a helpless child, and most of the time she is, but sometimes she grows a set of wings and some hint of her true nature begins to come through. Just what that true nature is . . . is anyone's guess.
Name: Wings of the Angel
Magic: None, but must be activated
Effect: Mairi-chan grows a pair of feathery wings that match her hair in color (when not altered in appearance via use of Make-Up). The wings enable her to fly. They, also, alter to match her apparent physical age (as per Growth Manipulation); as a child they are small, cherubic wings, as an adult they are fully developed angelic wings.

Name: Make-Up
Magic: None, but must be activated
Effect: Mairi has learned to Shape herself and others in a manner similar to Aurora's innate ability. She can alter coloration such as hair, eyes and skin tone. She can alter the shape of certain features like ear length or such or the number of fingers on a hand. She can add fins, but they are purely ornamental and have no actual effect on speed while swimming. All alterations are purely matters of appearance and have no effect on abilities or anything else. Any targets of the ability can choose to change back to their natural appearance at will.
Past: Tiraleen left Aurora playing with Mairi one day while she went to see to some matters with the First World. When she got back the little girl came running up to greet her, only Mairi had pointed ears, cat-slit green eyes, yellow striped skin, and spots in her blue-tinted hair. Mairi thought it was fun to look like a kitty-cat and really couldn't explain how she'd changed herself. After that day, though, she could apply Make-Up to anyone. She had lots of fun with playing with colors on all three of them until they decided to change back.
Name: Pockets of Holding
Magic: None, passive
Effect: Pockets are extra dimensional spaces that allow her to carry more items with her than would normally be possible. Nothing flashy, just pockets that are bigger on the inside than on the outside and carry no noticeable weight. She can pull from these pockets just about any random item imaginable that could be needed for plot or situational purposes.
Past: Mairi has pockets. Usually this is only a problem for little boys, but in Mairi's case what ends up in her pockets isn't anything living . . . but it could be just about ANYTHING. She's also a Selkie though, so chances are sometimes what she's got wasn't always something she obtained with permission. Normally, though, her pockets wouldn't be large enough to carry anything dramatic. Mairi's pockets, though, seem to be somehow bottomless and she's always pulling the ODDEST stuff out of them. It would likely be safe to suggest that even SHE doesn't know what all is in her pockets.
Name: Funny Voices
Magic: None, but must be activated
Effect: Mairi can alter her voice to sound like any thing she wishes and she can make her voice sound as if it were coming from any location within 40 feet. However, if she takes care with the volume of the sound that she is producing, then it can actually sound to listeners as if it were coming from much further away. The sound, though, must have a point of origin within that 40 foot radius of Mairi.
Past: One day Mairi decided to go visit the Empress of Ivalice, one of the most beautiful women she had ever seen. Empress Yukina and Mairi played a game while she was there where they made themselves look different and went to scare the guards. Yukina changed her voice to sound exactly like that of a tiger. The display of ability so impressed Mairi that she learned how to do something very similar, only with a slight twist. Mairi added the ventriloquist feature.

Name: All Grown-Up!
Magic: None, but must be activated
Effect: Mairi grows up! Seriously, though, her body grows and gains the mass and form of a young woman of roughly seventeen years of age. When this Enchantment and Wings of the Angel are activated then her wings are fully the size and shape of adult angelic wings, though they are still pink like her hair . . . unless she's altered them with her use of Make-Up. Her understanding and mannerisms change to match her years . . . to an extent. She is still *very* sheltered and innocent and wholly unknowing of how dangerous it can be for her to be all-grown-up and unable to fight for herself. This is intended to be a matter of appearance more than combat-readiness, though she is fully as mature as any other late-teen while in this shape.
Past: Mairi-chan . . . has always had more secrets to her than she has ever let be known. She has incredible magic and even more incredible potential. She used that magic to make herself grown-up like Tira and like Aurora, and caught herself unawares by some of the mental and hormonal changes that took place when she used the ability for the first time. Still, she wanted this and so her magic provided it for her whether she truly understood what it was that she was seeking . . . or not.
Name: Growth Manipulation
Magic: None, but must be activated
Effect: Mairi is able to alter her body to that of a selkie with pink hair and blue eyes of any age she wishes. This is a physical transformation only and does not affect her combat abilities in any way. This can be used in conjunction with Make Up to give her a wide variety of appearances.
Past: One day, in a fury at the cruelty of a dragon towards a friend of hers, Mairi made the momentous decision to become an adult and to take up the rights and responsibilities of adulthood. This, however, was not something she hadn't done before. Mairi was always capable of changing her apparent, physical, age to whatever point she wanted to be at. Before this point she wanted to be a child, and so she was one. Now she wants to be an adult, but that doesn't mean that she can't make herself look like the child that some still think she is. It's just that now it's her choice.

Name: Glowy Eyes
Magic: None, passive
Effect: Allows Mairi-chan to speak telepathically to anyone she wishes in the same thread, or to any of her group (Tira or Yuna) no matter where they are located. If she does this to bring someone into a thread, then they must be on the same world or be either Tira or Yuna or Aurora (NPC).
Past: Mairi-chan liked the way Aurora could talk to her without using her voice. She always thought that it was the funniest ability and she would giggle at some of the things Aurora would say when someone was being pompous and arrogant and Aurora didn't want him to hear her. When she met the Wolfmother, though, and saw someone else who could do that same thing, Mairi decided that she wanted to be able to do it too. Just how she learned is one of the mysteries of her magic. The name of the ability comes from the tendency of those who are adept at the ability to have a noticeable glow (sometimes more slight than others) to their eyes when using it.
