Appearance
Bird Form - Eirwen is a Simurgh, and with that comes the responsibility to be a fabulously, giant bird. Yep, she definitely does have the head of a dog (a very regal wolfhound to be exact) and the claws of a lion. Her plumage is a irisdescent indigo interspersed with white feathers, especially on the wings and tail feathers. Eirwen has violet eyes that are always concealed by half-open lids in pretense of tiredness. Also because she's a bird, she has a fabulous headcrest. It's often compared to a mirror and can change colors depending on the light. She is estimated to be about three stories in height, though it is to be noted that she can change her size when needed. Her wingspan extends out for several football fields in length.
Human Form - Being a giant gigantic bird isn't all that fun sometimes, so Eirwen glamors up, and walks around looking like a human. She stands at a rather average height, around 5"2. Her skin is brown and smooth, like she's been working away in the beauty parlor for way too long. Her hair is black with white tips and extends halfway down her back; Eirwen loves wearing it down without any adornments except for a few barrettes of blue metal to keep it from falling into her eyes. Like her bird form, her eyes are violet and seem to be framed in a state of perpetual sleepiness. Don't let that fool you, Eirwen is very alert and doesn't let anything sneak up on her ever. Her face is rather rounded, radiating a joyous aura whenever she smiles. She has occasionally forgotten what humans look like, so at times you may see random feathers mixed in with her hair or a slightly hawkish look about her.
As for her clothes, she has found that she really likes wearing robes. So her typical outfit is usually an embroidered sea-blue robe with black stoles. The sleeves are expansive and fall beyond her hands, concealing them. Despite wearing a robe, Eirwen wears white breeches and slippers.
She wears quite a few pieces of jewelry, mostly gold bracelets on both of her wrists, and feather earrings. There is also the sound of ticking somewhere on her person, said to be from a timepiece that keeps track of the motion of time and the location of space. The most striking one is a silver dragon-like sculpture that usually coils around her shoulders in a sleeping position.
Personality
Eirwen is a benevolent being, often showing generosity and tolerance to others. Often times, you can see her even giving away valuable items to people, if she judges that they need it more than she ever will. Eirwen is a good judge of character and is quite accepting of even the most hotheaded individual. She is a calm individual, and it takes a lot to even bring a hint of annoyance to the surface. And even when that happens, it'll only be a mild frustration that quickly fades. She isn't known to hold grudges at all, and it's often hard trying to hold one against her because of her calm, easy-going nature. Eirwen often acts as the mediator between two parties and resolves disputes in an easy manner. Because of this, she can be seen to dispense sagely advice even to other higher-ranking members of the Eschaton faction.
Below the calmness on the surface, Eirwen is a shrewd tactician in a sense. She abhors violence, but will dispense judgement only when it's necessary to do so. One could describe her as a stanch pacifist, and this is mostly true. She will even spread this ideal to others, urging them to seek the option with the least amount of casualties. As for making those decisions, Eirwen is able to process information quickly and often will suggest the best options. She isn't one for trusting her gut feeling, but in the confusion of battle, that's usually the best thing she has to rely on.
Her ideals are pretty simple; doing her best to protect everyone for the greater good, and making sure all works as it should.
Weapon[s]
Metal - It's basically a 50kg hunk of metal. Because of Eirwen's skill in manipulating space, she can manipulate this metal into any shape she wishes, including weapons. Its preferred state is the sleeping dragon sculpture on Eirwen's shoulders.
Abilities
Enhanced Strength (S) - All that strength from flying's gotta go somewhere, y'know. Between bird form and human form, Eirwen is pretty strong. She could probably throw around a few large boulders without any effort. But she's so slender! Don't let that fool you.
Precognition (D) - She has great initution and can often predict people's actions or figure out cause-effect scenarios with some accuracy when coupled with known information. She cannot actively look forward into the future. This is about as far as her time manipulation goes, since her specialization is in space manipulation.
Space Manipulation (B) - Quite proficient at using this skill, Eirwen applies this primarily to the metal she carries around to change around its shape. However, she can use this magic to hasten long-distance travel on a world by using the interactions of dimensions to shorten the total distance she has to fly or walk.
Water Manipulation (A) - Only usable when she's in her bird form, Eirwen has the strongest control over water. She is able to create small storms or draw water out of the ground, but only for the benefit of those who need it the most (i.e. people dying of water deprivation or starvation). Though she can use it as a weapon, can you imagine fighting as a giant bird? It's not quite as efficient when you're a larger target.
Background
As a Simurgh, Eirwen has seen the rise and fall of her home world. She was known as a guardian of several artifacts that heroes and gods had entrusted to her, and those came with her when she became part of the Eschaton faction. As a result, the faction does carry a few legendary weapons only to be used in the direst of conflicts.
Other: Nope I got nothing.
