Igmu
Calleigh has the unique ability to tap into the energy of her totem spirits. By uttering the word "Igmu", she can tap into the first totem animal she ever received: the Cat. Calleigh's nails elongate a little and get sharper, but now they're made of tougher material and can leave large gashes on soft and semi-soft surfaces (like wood), though concrete, stone and things like them are materials where the nails don't really make more than a few shallow scratches. The short black hair is now absent, however, for some unknown reason: the nails are now pitch black in turn. Instead, Calleigh's ears are now a little longer and somewhat pointed: the change is not easy to notice, but once you see it seems so obvious.
Calleigh's eyes have slitted pupils that react to differences in light very much like a cat's, and now they also have tapetum lucidum. That is, her eyes shine in low lights like a cat's, dog's or a raccoon's, creating quite an eerie effect, especially when the shine is a sort of dull yellow meets light green-sort of color. For no functional reason other than to bring together the whole theme it seems, Calleigh's canines also elongate and sharpen into cat-like fangs (both lower and upper canines). Mentally, Calleigh is now at the same level she usually is, but she gets very playful and stops taking things seriously unless it gets so bad she has to flee. It can get annoying after some time.
Fullbring Abilities
This Fullbring pretty much only upgrades Calleigh's senses and speed more than anything else. All her five senses get enhanced, especially her eyesight and hearing, and her nails toughen a lot more.
Borrowing the skills and abilities of her spiritual guide, Calleigh's flexibility, speed and balance are enhanced slightly, but only so that should she fall, she can correct herself and fall on her feet and arms rather than smacking on her back or perform other similar feats. She can also jump more, run on all fours without too much difficulty, and slightly better reflexes thanks to the enhanced senses.
Also, by slashing the air, Calleigh can send crescent-shaped cutting blades that fly at the opponent. The maximum range of this attack is about 3 meters, after that the strength of the attack fades quite quickly. The blades, consisting of Calleigh's reiatsu, can be stopped by a sword or another weapon/item large or thick enough to block the blade out completely. The lengths of the curved blades are 20 to 25 centimeters at max and there are about four or five of them depending on whether Calleigh makes a vertical or a horizontal slash.
Strengths
All five senses are enhanced (i.e. ability to see fairly well in low lights and near complete darkness) as well as balance, speed and flexibility. Calleigh gains the ability to run short distances on all fours (and to use walls as springboards) and her nails are made of tougher material (ability to do greater damage with less damage to herself). For long distance attacks (if one can say 3 meters is long) Calleigh has her aerial blades.
Weaknesses
Calleigh stops taking things seriously and is still very likely to flee rather than fight. The Fullbring emphasis is more on speed rather than strength, and Calleigh can be overwhelmed by outside stimuli. Even if it doesn't apply everywhere, Calleigh pretty much only sees blue and green when this State is activated and has a hard time distinguishing between the colors red and green.
Wakiya
A totem spirit of Calleigh's, Wakiya represents the Eagle, and this state and totem animal could be regarded as the most important one to Calleigh in many senses. The Lakota view themselves as the Eagle Nation, after their version of the creation myth: The thunderbird, literally called the Wakiya in Lakota, is regarded as the defender of humans, taking the shape of a gigantic bird who can create storms and thunder as it flies through the sky.
Wakiya has been in frequent use ever since Calleigh acquired it, and it seems that a strange event that still baffles her may have forced a jumpstart on this state. The strength of Wakiya increased so suddenly and so exponently that Calleigh was, for a brief amount of time, unable to move and spent three days in a coma-like state, her body mercifully shutting her down for a while until she became accustomed to the new levels.
Physically, Calleigh's body is changing more drastically than what it used to. While her nails grow and toughen up to curved talons (still controlled subconsciously), her arms and shoulders become covered in dark brown and occasionally white feathers like they used to, the eyes are still completely black.
But here's the most drastic change: Now Calleigh gains a pair of large, powerful wings constructed mostly of solid reiatsu, the feathers appearing brown and occasionally white and spanning as wide as 13 feet from wingtip to another. Arcs of electricity course over the surface of the wings almost constantly, but the arcs are small and far apart. The same feathers covering her arms now cover her upper back to give some protection. The wings are fully mobile.
As for her face, Calleigh now sports a warpaint of sorts. Her forehead is painted crimson, and the coloring continues in a curved fang-like formation all the way to her jaw. Black stripe accents the red, following the edges and defining the fangs, continuing in an almost unbroken line from ear to jaw, over the bridge of her nose, back down to the jaw again and to the other ear. Basically, it looks like a large, curvy W filled with crimson from the line up.
Fullbring Abilities
A large jump from her previous abilities, Calleigh can now produce electricity in larger amounts and with more lethal voltage. She can hurl small but not very potent (powerful enough to hurt and maybe throw the target off balance, but that's about it) globes of electricity for up to 65 feet: she needs to throw them, as she can't just point a finger at someone and fire at will. As for her wings, while they are large and could technically support her mid-flight, Cal cannot fly.
She can, however, glide with the wings, giving the illusion of flight. She uses the same principals as most hangliders do, but since there aren't many thermals in the city, it's unlikely that she can keep gliding for long periods of times.
The solid reiatsu and the electricity combined allow Calleigh to use her wings as a temporary shield against minor to mild medium power reiatsu attacks, but she cannot use them to block physical attacks that well. As for the rest of her, Calleigh is slightly stronger than she was in the previous first level in order to support the wings. She can also jump high, either because or despite her wings.
Strengths
Enhanced strength, electricity generation, slightly enhanced speed, enhanced eyesight, large wings that enable to glide and double as a temporary shield.
Weaknesses
As before, Calleigh becomes emotionally cold and views things as either good or bad and nothing in between. However, now she also becomes highly aggressive, easily provoked by both words and by the simple fact that her opponent exists. This doesn't mean that she'll attack blindly, but she won't pause to strategise any better either. She won't physically attack her friends if they say something she doesn't like, but she's not above lifting that person up and demanding him or her to stop it and shut up.
She's not as suspectible for mental manipulation now, but she can be duped by someone skillful enough. Her answers and sentences are still as short as possible and clipped and she still takes expressions literally. She is also still affected by bright lights, fast-moving lights and bright colors to the same extent as she used to be, giving her massive eyepains and headaches when exposed to them long enough. Still has an unexplained hatred towards snakes and reptiles in general.
Pte
Pte is the manifestation of Calleigh's on-off totem spirit, the Buffalo. As Pte, the edges of Calleigh's face, her throat, neck and shoulders gain a thick, frizzy coating of dark brown fur, mixing with her black hair. You can't see it, but Calleigh's skull thickens and her neck becomes sturdier and shock-resistant to enable Calleigh to use her horns, both of which sprouting on the sides of her head: her whole body seems to become more durable to withstand the spirit's natural way of attacking. The frizzy fur extends a little after her elbows, giving coverage from possible sharpnel that may fly when her head makes contact with a wall. Calleigh's eyes seem to be covered by the long, matted fur, thus impeding her sight a little, but she sees enough. Oftentimes, Calleigh becomes quiet, shy and relatively mellow, if not slightly jittery under the influence of Pte: she may also exhibit pacifistic tendencies and appear reluctant to attack until provoked, or she may roll around in sand if things are quiet enough around her.
Fullbring Abilities
All Pte does for Calleigh is increase her strength and overall durability as well as increase her overall body mass without her bodyshape changing. Calleigh's muscles seem more defined, but she doesn't look like a professional wrestler or anything. The concentrated mass and increased strength allow Cal to build up momentum when charging at her target, resulting in breaking through brick walls, causing sizeable dents and sending people flying several dozen feet away. Calleigh can take a bit more damage than usual, as well, because of the condenced mass.
Strengths
Enhanced strength, endurance and increased bodymass up to ten times her current weight, placing her at about 1380 lbs or 625 kg, the weight of a small-ish adult American buffalo. Hard to take down with physical attacks.
Weaknesses
Bad eyesight, docile nature, slow and lethargic. Does not always differentiate between friend and foe if she's spooked, she attacks the thing that spooked her regardless of whose side it's on. Has a bit of a one-track mind.
