Her purple-tinted skin darkened further, becoming deep royal purple that was almost black in shadow, almost luminescent in light. The color seemed to shift and flow like liquid across her flesh.
But the skin itself was changing texture. Demonic scales began manifesting—not full coverage like a serpent, but strategic plating across her shoulders, forearms, thighs, and spine.

Her face elongated slightly—not becoming monstrous or bestial, but more refined and predatory. Her features sharpened, her cheekbones becoming more pronounced, her jaw stronger. Her mouth, when she smiled, revealed teeth that had become pointed—not fangs exactly, but sharp enough to tear flesh.
