It was her favorite place to be for both the view and the many rows of books that she protected. The old stone building was a library, something that was beginning to lose it's popularity among the humans as they became more technilogically advanced. Still there were those that cared for the old art of written words, and those individuals made it their mission to keep this library open for those that might not care so much for it's beauty. She stretched her wings out wide, feeling the muscles pull spread apart with a comforting pop. Her talons hung off the edge of the building's ledge as she sat at attention. Looking to the sky above her she sighed, quickly becoming bored. "Alright as great as these books are, I have read them all but a thousand times. I should look for something to add to my collection." She hissed to herself, a nasty habit that came from hours of standing in one spot alone. She pounced off the ledge, falling a few feet before spreading her wings to catch the light breeze and glide to the floor of an empty alley way. It was there that she cast her spell, then appearing as if she were just another human girl. The strange thing about it was that sometimes she could feel herself stalking about like the creature she was, then there were moments as she was then where she actually felt as if the human girl was her. She couldn't understand it, but it was one of the ongoing mysteries that she was determined to solve. Her dark brown hair fell down in eligant curls to just below her shoulder blades and her blue eyes sparkled with the knowledge of years and years of time alone reading. Her skin was fair and she was a rather beautiful being, but if anything were to stand out about her, it would be her most magnificent eyes. And so she stepped out from the alley and walked down the street in no particular direction.
