Basic Details
Shift is the top-ranked operative in the entire Projects. When she describes herself, she says, "I know the difference between right and wrong. I just don't care." Nevertheless, she's extremely loyal and self-sacrificial and will do literally anything to save or protect those she considers her own. She became a mother at a young age and took her daughter as her exception, having her placed with foster parents outside of the Projects, never to be taken or considered an asset by the Department. She has a love/hate relationship both professionally and personally with her second, Kilter. Her special ability is shapeshifting. After the Thorn Rebellion, she gains custody of her daughter, settles in Bellyn sometimes with Kilter and sometimes without him, and continues working in the political/legal/military arena of the Kingdoms.
Special Abilities
She's a molecular shifter, capable of altering her molecules to change her appearance, body structure, and coloring or hiding weapons and other tangible items inside her body. She is capable of "blurring" her molecules to the point that she remains largely undamaged when struck by another's weapon.
Names
Her birth name is Jennifer Haller. Her primary handle is Shift. When she was younger, she was often called Knife, Blur, or Flow.
