I am learning so much

I also suspect given both how they build their homes and how they've been forced to live that despite their extreme compatibility with other species, they have very effective immune systems. After thier lifespans where shortened, they'd generally live about 15 yrs at most if both parents were pooka, and you are talking somewhere on the order of 100yrs, more drastic changes have happened in fewer generations of practices like selective breeding, and the Pooka were already living underground

She primarily resides on Terra, they probably have all her medical files there, beyond that the main point of registering is because they are shape shifters, as for jobs, there aren't that many necromancers on either world she frequents. As for registering with the Fae as a member of the Fiveclaw family, she likely already is registered with them. she'd be able to quality with them even if she didn't have a drop of Pooka or Cheshire blood in her

I'm guessing the age difference might be due to dimensional time drift until the two realities stabilized to each other when Lan took that job.

I put a pooka 6 mental years developmently to one physical year...when compared to humans. When mixed with other peoples.. the age rait slows down after the first year to close to the nonpooka parents rait of age...It puts the twins at 9.. thermal at 7 and pip at about 4..when compared to human mental ages..

I'm going to guess its a pooka form, Pooka traits do seem to often end up dominant from what we've seen.

Just to help clear things up, I don't think abilities related to a creatures basic biological existence to be considered a power. So a Pooka's shapeshifting and a dragon's fire breath would be an ability. While a power would be a Pooka learning to use fire magic or a Dragon learning to use magic to disguise themselves.

As far as I am aware, Lana's powers are necromancy with related death magic and shadow magic. Shapeshifting, flight and her fire-breath are biologically related. I consider any shapeshifting ability she has to be related to her pooka heritage. Which is why I believe she has a pooka form and not just a battleform. If Lana wants to shapeshift into anything else she would have to train that ability like other pooka or shapeshifter. This does not seem to be that many powers.

Those are good points about pooka immune systems

I thought Thermal was not physically mature. As he seems to act like a 12 - 8 year old. As for the timeline placement that's quite possible. We don't really know how long she spent with PB and Warmwind before being taken, nor how long she spent enslaved until she was rescued.

Another thing I forgot to mention is that Lana is technically the middle child and is thus younger by Thermal by a year. Though you can claim that when she came into existence she was a year or 2 older, or the same age, there still is a clear disconnect concerning her physical age. My current theory is that Lana simply inherited a Pooka's growth rate and Thermal inherited a dragon's growth rate. Though the true explanation is still unknown

Dragonfire10503 at 1:11PM, Nov. 6, 2021

She currently can't shapeshift at all and is missing several powers. As Thermal has stated that she does have a battleform. By that definition she is stuck in her current form. We don't know how good she was at shapeshifting before she was taken but we do know she could at least do that. Though I believe she does have a pooka form. While I like to believe that is her true form do to PB being her mother, I'm aware the humanoid form is most likely her baseform.
