X-Men Evo: Instinct

Another fan-character from the X-Men: Evolution RP that I'm in. Willow Felton, AKA "Instinct", is another victim of project Weapon X. While she was still very young, her natural claws and fangs have been heavily laced with adamantium, creating deadly metal weaponry that grew with her. However, she managed to escape, and was taken in by a young couple who happened to be out backpacking in the Canadian Rockies. Willow does not know that her 'parents' found her, and believes the metal of her claws and fangs to simply be part of her mutation.

Along with the claws and fangs, Instinct has a long, hairless tail, heightened senses (sight and scent in particular), and, with the exception of Quicksilver, her reflexes are unmatched. Her vision is motion-based, making it very hard for her to detect stationary objects, but she can see clearly with almost no light at all. Instinct is very lithe and agile, built more for speed than brute strength. She lacks any form of regenerative powers, and must rely on lightening reflexes and quick dodges to avoid getting hit in a fight, but her speed allows her to land several attacks for every one that her foe attempts.

It should also be noted that her alias was not chosen simply because it sounded cool. Willow's instincts, particularly those dealing with hiding her tracks and disguising her trail, are extremely well honed. Unfortunately, her natural impulses seem to be haphazardly drawn from many different species, which can lead to some very erratic behavior.

(As for the image, I was very happy with how the pose came out, but I'm still working on acquiring the "X-Men: Evo" style. Any constructive criticism would be greatly appreciated.)
