Draconians can form an addiction when they feed on the same blood repeatedly, especially the blood of the seraphs, Soleil and Artemian. Triumph is the most Blood Heavy Draconian, meaning that she consumes extreme amounts of this blood. It was originally believed that Triumph's shifting abilities came from Sol's blood, but it has since been established that this ability came from the body swap in the waters of Arcondelial.
In order to keep her high, and thus her Draconian form, Triumph must dose within 16 hour periods. If she doesn't, the flood of memories lost to the haze returning, as well as the slow painful return of her true form is agonizing enough to completely incapacitate her for a number of days. Withdrawal lasts no less than 2 weeks.
Effects of the blood are immediate, like a jolt of adrenaline which makes everything PRIOR to when she began using seem more like distant dreams. Coming in contact with anyone she knew before this point is more like seeing someone you feel you've met in the past, but can't quite put a finger on. It's possible she may get fleeting gut feelings associated with people, things, and places that are familiar to her.

While far more erratic in behavior, her moods are now motivated entirely by the chemical reaction of her mind to the drugs... making her surprisingly easier to interact with than previously. This new mindset on the femme feels less responsibility than previously, spending almost of all of her time amusing herself in some fashion or another. At times she can be cruel and dismissive, but she's more likely to use those around her for entertainment, company or playthings, depending on their mentalities. Submissive only when she sees an intriguing prospect, this femme is not one to allow herself to be used or abused unless she's in it for the excitement.
​Triumph has little to no true regard left for others, however, and while she may be kind to some, flirtatious to others... the chance that she's formed any sort of attachment to another person in this state is unlikely. She now considers herself to be free from worry or consequence.
As long as Triumph is drug-induced shifting, the shift is fluid and fairly beautiful to watch. Much like her Draconian armor, her transformations appear like molten gold running over her body, before rippling away into their end result... Most of this is hidden by light expelled around her for protection, meaning she must shift in safe areas.
The shift BACK when she's coming down is INTENSELY painful and incapacitating. Especially coming from a form with wings, where the attachments will essentially wither and die, fur and bones shuddering at a crawl back to their norm. In this scenario, her eyes become her torture, and often she'll lose her sight for a day or two.
