I'm not afraid I'm wrong
I'm so afraid I'm right
My deepest fear is that I'm weak
So who am I to shine?

Pros
________________
Her strength, in bear form and out, is particularly impressive. While in her usual elven form she is only considered extremely strong when comparing her to the mundane. She still cannot suplex a dragon, carry thousands of pounds, or anything of that nature. However while in bear form her strength is much greater - though particularly docile unless given no choice but to fight.
Heightened senses are another boon that stay with her in and out of bear form, though undoubtfully much stronger while in. As explained on her page, Ehen has boosted hearing, sense of smell, and taste. Arguably a pro and con, however.
While not applicable until she gets a true handle on her shifting, werebears are able to shift whenever they wish, though they must shift during the full moon as well. There is no moon-based insanity that comes along with this. Most of the brains are still the way humans work. They recognize people, emotions. They are just more.. feral about it. Like if Ehen had a husband she would recognize her mate and still love them. Maybe be a bit more aggressive and protective and territorial. Bears have a great amount of control of their form. And are incredibly clever.
A longer lifespan, and while it is simply a drop in the hat when compared to Ehen's already long life, she will age slower than before.
Accelerated healing is yet another boon, though she will not be able to regenerate lost limbs, wounds will close faster and almost never leave their mark.
Feral communication, in and out of her bear form via the mind makes it possible to understand even animals with very little intelligence.

Cons
________________
Werebear have a severe allergy to silver. Superficial skin contact will result in redness and irritation, and a burning sensation that intensifies with increased pressure or prolonged exposure. Silver-inflicted wounds require healing times matching those of a normal human's, and often leave a scar. Silver wounds cause painful, physical burning in addition to pain associated with the particular type of wound. If the silver remains lodged inside the body, cellular proteins will begin to breakdown, causing progressive, localized damage similar to a chemical burn.
Higher metabolism, though not a direct weakness, they require large intakes of food to function at peak levels. Protein is the primary necessity, required for the near-constant cellular regeneration that takes place during transformations and healing. Though they can survive without food longer than humans, the diminishing effects on muscle mass and energy can be just as drastic.
Full moon: Natural or unnatural full moons have impact on Werebear. During a full moon, individuals usually exhibit signs of impatience, anxiety, restlessness, and/or aggression. She has control over her shift, but acts more feral during this time.
Volcanic ash will burn if inhaled and being near it will dampen the senses of sight, smell and taste. It also causes minor itching when touched.
