Name: Sigrid Maxine Browning
Nicknames: Sig, Daddy, most of her contacts call her 'East' (inherited from her own father).
Date of birth/age: That's strictly on a need-to-know-basis. ... 44. December 2nd, 1967.
Gender: Female
Sexuality: Fairly fluid.
Job: Works from home as a financial analyst, deals in antique weaponry in what little spare time she has. Some folks might know her as a high-end, black market arms dealer. But those folks also value their privacy, just as she does.
Degrees/Permits: Firearms training (Handguns, Rifles), Concealed Weapon License (Issued in Florida), MBA, CFA Certification, FINRA licence.
Languages Spoken: English, Spanish, basic Latin
Human or shifter: Shifter
Appearance:
PB: Annie Lennox
The first thing that might strike a person about Sigrid is her height. Sig is 6'2" and rather enjoys wearing tall heels. She has a fairly lean build, somewhere just comfortably between elegant and awkward. Sig doesn't have much in the way of a chest unless she takes certain measures to make sure it shows up. Her eyes are grey and her hair's a light blonde that she usually keeps quite short and dyes quite often. Has a rather large burn scar on her right shoulder that stretches from her collar bone, over the shoulder blade, and down to her elbow. Also has various small scars on her legs due to being quite clumsy growing up, and does have a number of rough calluses and powder burns on her hands.
Sig's dresscode is simple. There is no such thing as casual, unless a job is too messy to do in a suit. Other than being fond of high heels she's also fond of leather boots, jackets, and gloves, often paired with pinstripes, tweed, and long coats. Once in a very rare little while, she might even be inclined to wear a dress. And honestly, she doesn't really care about the Miami climate at all when she dresses. There are other methods to keep yourself form overheating or sweating too much.
Personality: Sig is incredibly confident in her abilities as a shifter. Confident enough to dip into the arrogant side of things sometimes, especially when talking about the gift of flight, which she often refers to as the best feeling in the world. Her knowledge doesn't stretch much farther than history, politics, literature, mathematics, and anything related to her trade, but she tries to expand her knowledge at any opportunity.
She's a warm, friendly person in general. Always polite, always courteous, always trying to be as helpful as she can. But when the situation calls for it Sig will switch into high gear. She's colder and more authoritative when push comes to shove, and often just hides her steely glare underneath an affable smile just in case she has to act on a spur-of-the-moment incident. It's kept her near the top of her trades, and she's not above hiring a few 'friends' to make sure she stays near the top.
Strengths:
-Graceful and quick on her feet
-Fairly competent boxer.
-Has an absolutely wonderful memory. As long as she's using a system to remember something.
-Numbers and math. Does invest her inheritance and has made quite a good amount doing it.
-Knows her way around a gun better than most people do.
-Connections? Oh, she has lots of those, thanks to taking over her father's business.
Weaknesses:
-Often gets stuck in "overdrive", a state where she absolutely needs to be busy at all times. Usually completely exhausted and lethargic afterwards, since it can last anywhere from a few minutes to a few days.
-Busy. She rarely has time in his schedule for anything that deviates from it, and the stress does wear her down and makes her a terror to deal with.
-Not exactly keen when it comes to general repair as opposed to weapon maintenance. As far as she's concerned even the smallest of screwdrivers is out to get her for some reason.
-Often loses things the second they're put down if she isn't using a system to remember.
-Threaten her family and you've got her in the palm of your hand.
-What she does on the side isn't exactly legal, per se. If she somehow manages to get caught, she's done for.
History:
Sigrid doesn't remember much of her childhood. Now, that's not because she's repressing anything, but because it just wasn't that memorable. She was born in England, a short while after her larger twin, and was always regarded as the runt of the litter. Her father left when they were quite young, which was when she and her sister were about four. A year and a half after that her mother became pregnant again (this time through a sperm bank) and gave birth to her younger brother, the little boy she'd always wanted. Things were well and good until Sig reached just about the age of twelve, when they received word that her biological father had died, leaving their mother a substantial amount of money on the condition that the girls were to be brought to America.
They moved in to his old house in Miami, which they inherited as well, and things seemed to be fairly normal until the pair of siblings hit puberty. Things changed, and so did they. Sig sprouted up and became the tallest of the three. Augusta fell in with the wrong crowd, and Claudius became increasingly more distant until the day they both just... left. Claudius moved out west, Augusta stayed in Miami until the nightlife caught up with her and left her dead on the pavement from a drunk driving accident. Sig stayed behind, furthering her education, skills, and taking care of her mother. The old singer passed in her sleep when Sig was 22, shortly after she'd heard the news of her Augusta's death.
From then on, Sig picked up the old family business of gun-running and invested her new-found fortune. She excelled at it, especially when it came to the numbers. It was in her blood really, how could she deny it? When Versi struck, it was in her blood as well, and she adapted quickly to her new form. Flight was... magnificent. Best feeling in the world really. Not too long after, she became a slightly adopted 'father' to one Odette Advaire, and also plays a part in restoring the Lir Estate.

Abilities: Sig hasn't gained much from becoming a shifter. Sure the ability to turn into an owl and fly's a crazy awesome gain and all, but other than that, she's just about human. ... Other than gaining a very much sharpened sense of sight and more than a little bit of strength. She can heft things around much easier than she could before, from building materials to high-calibre, unregistered rifles. Recoil? Psssh. That's easy to handle.
