"That's why we'll keep it green. Just a little more... muted. Just a nice big make-over." she says as she makes contact with Will's mind again. She's still no sculptor, but imposing mental images as she reaches out to hold Will's head in her hands she can work through trial and error, adjust features on the fly and muddle her way through. Really, she does most of the work mentally, but feeling the clay shift underneath her hands keeps her partially focused in the real world, able to better judge the effects of what she's doing. Here and there she pulls from Will's library of templates to fill things in and have some baseline aspects to work with. Start with that nose, adjust it a little, mold the cheeks to fit, find lips and adjust them. Bit by bit what starts out as kind of a jumbled patchwork comes together.
As 'promised' the hair is a little more muted, less immediately clashing with her own predominantly dark wardrobe but still distinct enough. Accessorizing with people isn't really demeaning when it's a shapeshifter you're color coordinating, right? That's just... appreciating the range and flexibility. What she hadn't announced was the fact that she'd flipped Will's gender while she was working. It seemed to make little difference to Will so she sees no reason not to chose the one she's more comfortable with.
"There we go..." she says, taking a step back to look Will over. "What do you think?"
