Editing The Simurgh (section)

==Appearance==
The Simurgh appears as a fifteen-foot tall human woman, waif-thin and unclothed with pale white skin.<ref name="17.1e1">She seemed human, but fifteen or so feet tall, waif-thin, and unclothed.  Her hair whipped around her, nearly as long as she was tall and platinum-white.  The most shocking part of it all was the ''wings''; she had so many, asymmetrical and illogical in their arrangement, each with pristine white feathers.  The three largest wings folded around her protectively, far too large in proportion to her body, even with her height.  Other wings of varying size fanned out from the joints of others, from the wing tips, and from her spine.  Some seemed to be positioned to give the illusion of modesty, angled around her chest and pelvis. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/08 Excerpt] from [[Migration 17.1]]</ref> Her facial features are delicate,<ref name="17.1e2"/> conventionally beautiful in every sense, with classically attractive features such as high cheekbones and luxurious hair.<ref name="28.4 e10">Beautiful in every conventional sense, in that every classically attractive feature was there, from the delicate, thin frame to the high cheekbones to the luxurious hair… horrifying in the manner it was all ''framed''. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/07 Excerpt] from [[Cockroaches 28.4]]</ref> However, her eyes are silver, dull, cold, and empty.<ref>The Simurgh twisted in the air, staring at us with eyes that had nothing to them.  One silver eye, and one perfect silver orb in a badly tarnished silver skull framed by wisps of hair. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/03/17 Excerpt] from [[Last 20.7]]</ref><ref name="17.1e2"/> The Simurgh's hair is almost as long as she is tall and is, like the rest of her form, platinum-white,<ref name="17.1e1"/> appearing gossamer-fine and straight.<ref name="28.4 e2">It was the hair that got me.  Gossamer-fine, silver-white, straight, it blew in the wind as if each strand were a separate entity.  Not in clumps or locks, but a curtain of strands ten times as dramatic as something one might see in a digitally altered hair commercial.<br><br>Artificial. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/09/07/cockroaches-28-4/ Excerpt] from [[Cockroaches 28.4]]</ref> Her body is a smooth facsimile of the human form, lacking nipples or presumably genitalia.<ref name="II20.7">A single crack at the lattice at one shoulder widened, inching down toward one nipple-less breast. Just from the stresses.<br>[...]<br>She was blocking more of what we were putting out.  Her chest gaped open, the laser had flensed away flesh, revealing more of the feather-lattice across her arm and upper body, half of her face was damaged, revealing bone like dark, tarnished silver, and her wings were, by contrast, mostly intact. - [https://www.parahumans.net/2020/03/17 Excerpt] from [[Last 20.7]]</ref> 

Besides her height and stark white coloration, her major distinguishing features are her profusion of asymmetrically and seemingly randomly placed feathered wings, many of which appear excessively large compared to her body.<ref name="Cast1">'''Simurgh''' – A creature that appears as a freakishly tall woman with a countless number of wings fanning out from her body, some fanning out from other wings. A precognitive, telekinetic, clairvoyant with a psychic scream. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/ Cast (spoiler free)]</ref> Parts of her body are described as being "hollow", or made entirely from carefully placed wings or feathers, which trace the outline of any body parts she may have lost in combat.<ref name="20.a"/> She often wraps her three largest wings around herself.

After seeing her face, despite having no particular feature or quality that he could point to, [[Trickster]] found it harder to ascribe any kind of human quality to her.<ref name="17.1e2">She turned to one side, and Krouse could make out her face.  Her features were delicate with high cheekbones.  Her eyes were gray from corner to corner.  And ''cold''.  There was nothing he could point to, no particular feature or quality that could help him explain why or how, but seeing her face made it ''harder'' to ascribe any kind of human quality to her.  If he’d been thinking she had a sense of modesty before, he didn’t now. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/08 Excerpt] from [[Migration 17.1]]</ref> [[Taylor]] found her appearance horrifying in the sense that it was all framed;<ref name="28.4 e10" /> when the Simurgh's hair blew in the wind as if each strand was separate, Taylor believed it was a deliberately intimidating presentation.<ref name="28.4 e2" />
