You are such a Harpy!

So, I figured out a species for my character, bet you can guess what she is.

It suits her perfectly. A harpy is everything she doesn't want to be, and she's scared of heights which makes me giggle.

She isn't going to have wings. I'm going to have to do some research on the harpy before I decide exactly what her abilities/weaknesses are going to be. But this story just started sounding a lot more fun.
