Vannika is a feral panther, standing about 3’6” at the shoulder. Her fur is a silky black throughout, and her eyes are a deep violet. Her build is fairly standard for her species, but she keeps herself clean and well-groomed, and is plainly quite intelligent… And well-geared.
She wears a flexible, dark grey band around her neck, slightly broader at the sides, with a faintly glowing golden gemstone hanging from the front and a small processing unit attached to the back. Though she cannot talk her herself, a set of panels on the sides of her collar act as her voice, lighting up whenever she speaks. She also has a small speaker device attached to the inside of each ear, and a holographic HUD projector on the outside of each eye. Small implanted devices can also be seen on the outside edges of her ankles.
She sometimes wears her duty gear as well, which mainly consists of a flat pack laid across her back atop a layer of cloth, firmly attached with straps that wind underneath her body at the front and rear. An emblem reading "Security" is embroidered on a cloth pad over each shoulder, attached to her backpack, and there are additional bags draping down on either side of her chest. Aside from a short, flexible antenna, all of her gear fits tightly to her body, designed to hinder movement as little as possible while staying in place. All of it is colored red, with dark grey trim.
Vannika is almost always accompanied by a small utility drone, no larger than her head, which floats silently behind her. Equipped with a pair of graspers and a wide variety of tools, it apparently compensates for her lack of opposable thumbs, even to the point of opening doors and typing for her. Though no control mechanism is visible, it moves as naturally as a part of her body would.
