Male

A wild, bestial figure met his gaze in the reflecting pool. After jumping back, trying to dodge the attack, he soon realized the pool was way to shallow to have anything "hiding" in it. He cautiously leaned forward again, and studied his reflection again.

His face was now elongated into a long snout. A pair of pointed ears set on the top of his head, that flicked and turned wildly. His slack jaw revealed sharp, wicked looking fangs that peeked out from under his lips. His face was now covered in a deep blue and white fur, with a white "V" set in the middle of his forehead. A wild mane of midnight blue hair was perched on top, between the now flattened ears. And his eyes, his eyes were a bright red color, that almost glowed, even in the daylight.

Stunned, he fell back and felt his face. It was no dream. His self examination gradually went to the rest of his body. His hands looked normal, except for the fur and the deep black, one and a half inch claws at the end of his fingers. And they seemed much larger. His body was completely covered in the same blue fur with occasional white markings and his feet were bare. They also had the same dangerous looking claws on the ends of each toe.

Every limb was bursting with power. It almost felt like a caffeine high. He'd never been built like this before, he thought. It was a little fuzzy in places. Gasping, his hands went to his butt. A long sigh of...relief?...it was hard to say at this point. But there wasn't a tail back there. As for the rest of it, he seemed to be adorned with a simple loincloth and a thick belt.

He stood up and stumble back a bit. His center of gravity was off from what he was used to. After some quick experimentation, he soon got his balance. But he did find out that a crouching position was nearly as comfortable as standing, if not more so.

He took a deep breath. Everything was heightened, the smells, the sounds, the taste of the air. He could even smell the person on the far side of the meadow that was watching him. He quickly turned, realizing he was being watched.
