WARNING! If you come across the woman known as either HALCYON or HYACINTH YORK, do -not- attempt to apprehend. Call your local authorities immediately.

Strength level: Halcyon isn't very strong. Though she's incredibly lithe and light on her feet, she has no feats of strength that she can easily preform.
Known superhuman powers: Well, first, Halcyon can fly. She can sprout wings from her shoulder-blade area at will and take flight. By beating her wings, she can cause a small updraft and she can hover in place. This, in itself, is enough, but she also has talons hidden in those little knuckle holes. The talons can cut through most any material, as long as they hit at the right angle. Lastly, she can see far distances.
Other abilities: Halcyon is a tremendously talented flirt. She speaks four languages: English, French, Spanish and German.
Weapons and paraphernalia: Other than her talons? One can be assured that she now has access to guns. Further, she usually carries a nail file (heavy duty), Derma-Blend makeup for knuckle touch-ups, and Sunglasses. She's known for her penchant for extremely expensive shoes and can be seen wearing anything from Prada to Gucci and Manolo Blahnik.
Other notes: Halcyon has excellent teeth.

Other notes: To any humans and those without supersenses or telepathy, Vera looks nothing at all like Halcyon and there really isn't anything that should immediately draw your attention to her, or to lead you to a conclusion that Vera -IS- Halcyon. Weapon X has worked with both mutants (psychic surgeons) and mortals (regular plastic surgeons) to create the new look of Vera. Unfortunately, when she does change to her feral form, she still maintains the same hair coloring, wings, and talons as Halcyon.
