M. Bison

The buffalo-Troll that calls themself "M. Bison" showed up in Miami just in time to help hold open the escape route when the Freehold was attacked, and ended up being handed the seedstone of the Balefire when they swore on their life to protect it; the seriousness of that commitment is what raised their Seeming to Errant. They claim to hail from a Freehold in Buffalo, NY, and have been sent to Miami by the seers there.

Personal Information
Mortal Appearance: Alex, as they call themself around mortals, is a tomboyish young White woman with straight brown hair usually in two braids, brown eyes, and tanned skin. In this form they use both she/her and they/them pronouns. Usually they wear jeans, tee shirt, flannel (often tied around their waist), hiking boots is a pretty typical ensemble, and they carry a messenger bag rather than a purse. However, they always wear a beaded medallion, clearly of Native American make, featuring a white buffalo in the middle of a geometric design.

Changeling Appearance: M's form as seen through fae eyes is tall and strong but androgynous, with smallish horns similar to a buffalo’s in shape and position, and a short brown fur mantle or wrap resembling the thick fur of a buffalo’s hump around their shoulders; though it always seems to be on top of their other clothing, it’s part of their actual mien. They might be able to pass as an unusually large Pooka, if they chose to. In this form they generally only use they/them pronouns. Their Voile sometimes shifts to being leathers instead of the modern jeans, and for formal events they wear something like a vest and frock coat with fitted trousers. The beaded medallion remains unchanged.

Fae Mien: M's Fae Mien is much more powerfully built, marking them as clearly a Troll despite not having the typical blue skin, and fully masculine though beardless, with much larger horns. The short mantle expands to a full buffalo robe, and as with the shorter form it appears over their other clothing but is part of them. While they only maintain this form for long in the Deep Dreaming, they use both they/them and he/him pronouns. Their Voile is nearly always leathers, usually shirtless, and the beaded medallion appears to take on a glow.

Personality: Honorable and ferocious in the protection of the Dreaming, their unusual animal aspect lends them a bit of a trickster streak more typical of a Pooka; the name "M. Bison" is definitely 100% the joke you think it is.

The beaded medallion is a Prop keyed to Metamorphosis, and they typically touch it and whisper a prayer when shifting from any sufficiently human form to do so. It often either remains present when their other clothing merges into their animal forms, or becomes a marking on their animal's upper chest.
