Personality
Quirky or eccentric would be the kindest way to put it. 'Not all there' would be a slightly more frank one. Caddie comes across as rather odd to most that meet her. She speaks in very simplistic, almost childish terms, and doesn't appears to pay a lot of attention, seeming to be daydreaming frequently. She neglects herself a lot, often forgoing eating and wearing ragged, filthy clothing without concern.
Caddie likes to climb things. She's happier sitting on a book shelf or a window-ledge. Being on terra-firma makes her rather nervous. She's very fidgety, moving around an awful lot when allowed to, and also prone to messing with things. If there's an object that interests her chances are she'll have picked it up and will be toying with it within a few minutes of being in a room with it. She is extremely forgetful and rather prone to losing the thread of a conversation in the middle of a sentence.
Her good points are that she is a kind, and quite intelligent young woman. She has an almost innocent outlook on life and seems to have a massive appreciation for things most people would overlook. In the right situation she is also very generous and self-sacrificing.
On the other hand she is completely unpredictable and prone to erratic behavior. She is bad with other people, and will often react to things in an immature fashion, having a tendency to oversimplify matters. While she is quite intelligent she initially comes across as rather simple-minded and dense, due to her own defense mechanisms and tendency for denial. She refuses to acknowledge her past most of the time, something which does imply the dumb image is more of a front than anything.
Brief Description of Human Form
Caddie's human form resembles a small, slight young woman with slate coloured hair and pale grey eyes. Her skin is rather pallid due to lack of exposure to sunlight. She tends to wear an old, frayed, dress-like garment rather in need of a wash, and her hands and feet are wrapped in bandages that seem old, bloody and covered in dirt. Her skin tends to be marked with patches of dust, or general nicks and cuts from wear and tear. She doesn't exactly take the best care of herself.
Her eyes have a somewhat glassy, doll-like quality that can seem a little unnerving to others, and tend to be the first indication that something is not quite right.
Caddie is pretty graceful, being designed for balance and agility, though this can often get a little surprising, with her tendency to crouch or perch on overhead areas and spring down behind people in order to greet them.
Brief Description of Animal Form
A small, rather ratty-looking Bleeding Heart Dove. The dove is a bird usually native to the Philippines named for the vivid, blood-red mark on the chest. Small, and with rather dirty, unkempt feathers, Caddie's animal form could easily be mistaken for a feral pigeon if not for the prominent red mark. The dove also stands out due to the old wrappings on its wings , chest and legs.
Human Skills/Abilities
-Aside from the ability to fly that comes with her bird form, Caddie is extremely agile in her human form, able to run, jump and perform acrobatic feats most human gymnasts would struggle with due to her hollow bones.
-Caddie has an incredible mind for figures and details, able to memorize facts and work out mathematical problems with great ease, something her usual demeanour would not suggest a skill in.
Animal Skills/Abilities
-As a bird, Caddie is, of course, capable of flight. She isn't the fastest flyer, certainly...though Caddie's form has the virtue of being inconspicuous. By covering up the red mark, she is easily mistaken for nothing more than one of the few scattered feral pigeons, and easily overlooked.
Weaknesses
-Along with the physical fragility, there is something of a mental fragility along with it. Caddie is a rather inept sort. She is quite awful in social situations, often rambling on about utter nonsense. She certainly does not come across as one of the most stable people around, and can often do rather bizarre things. She is also rather terrible at most practical tasks, often needing to be instructed multiple times, or making a many errors.
History
Caddie was driven out from her birth parents at a fairly early age. Stuck in a hostile environment, and naturally rather brittle and susceptible to harm, she spent much of her early life as a dove. It was simply easier for her to survive that way. She would have stayed that way for much longer had she not been caught by an Army Miao, thinking she was prey. The cat got rather a surprise when its lunch suddenly became a person as it was trying to pin it down. The attack left Caddie's arm damaged, meaning she was grounded temporarily. As a result she was taken back to be questioned. It was through that questioning that her considerable intelligence and mind for figures came about.
The Army were quite happy to use her intelligence for their own projects, and for a while Caddie was happy enough with the comparative security offered by her servitude. That was until she committed a great offense. She harbored a rebel fugitive. It hadn't initially even been intentional. Upon finding a frazzled, terrified skinwalker in her quarters she'd been concerned, and offered them food and water. It was only the next day when she was dragged before the leader did she discover that they'd been a high profile rebel fugitive. She assured them that she'd had no idea, but the top brass were convinced that she must have had rebel involvement, and therefore information on their movements. Caddie was detained with view to extracting that information, and months later apparently managed to free herself. She was considerably different for her time spent locked up however.
She wandered around for a while, before her presence was noticed by the Pack. While her eccentricities proved to be a bit of a trial, she soon proved to be rather useful for the virtue of her flying ability.
Rumors:
It's been somewhat unclear what happened to the Aveis during detainment with the Army, though a few widely exaggerated stories of terrible atrocities have circulated. Caddie is widely to be dead by Army folk,
