Mercy is slim and about 5'6" tall. She has black eyes, longish straight black hair and although she has Native American coloring her features are more Anglo. She's not beautiful, but cleans up well enough. She is very strong-willed, independent, and curious. She's always felt like an outsider - both as a coyote growing up with werewolves as well as someone who needs to hide what she is from the world at large.

Mercy is able to shift into a coyote at will. Because she's only about 32 pounds in her coyote form she's able to shift while still clothed, though she then needs to struggle free of her clothes. She's not tied to the phase of the moon and doesn't need to change, though she doesn't feel quite herself if she goes too long without it. In her coyote shape she's faster than a werewolf and has enhanced smell and hearing that carries over somewhat into her human shape. In either shape she can tell someone's emotions and whether they're lying from their scent, though she's less accurate in human form and with people she doesn't know as well. She's also able to detect vampires, werewolves, fae, and various magic users from their scent. She is stronger than the average human, though not as strong as a were. Silver doesn't harm her, but she also doesn't have the accelerated healing that werewolves have.

She has some immunity to vampire magic and it's hinted at that 'walkers' were somehow dangerous to vampires, which is why the vamps worked hard to eliminate all of them. As far as Mercy knows she's the only walker around.

She is also able to see and talk to ghosts and has some limited ability to influence them.

In terms of more mundane abilities, she has an affinity with cars (and in canon becomes a great mechanic, specializing in Volkswagens and other German made cars). She's a good shot and knows how to make her own bullets. She also knows how to pick locks.

About her armband tattoos:
*****"This one is supposed to represent the oak tree," Mercy said, sliding a finger along part of the band. ""I liked the idea of having roots dug deep into the earth, connecting me to everything. And the four cornered knots here are for all the elements; earth, wind, fire, and water, which feed the oak tree and the world. This here represents the tie between human and animal - pretty obvious why that works for me - and the last strand is about the eternal nature of life and death."

The designs were simple, but strong.*****
