Welcome to Gaia! ::

Sunday hadn't worked out after all, but Monday did. So monday after lessons, Lillian went into the unused classroom to wait for Fionna. She wasn't quite sure how to go about teaching this, it was odd to be showing someone else. It would take a lot of concentration and tedious work. Still, hopefully it would be worth it.

When Fionna entered, Lillian closed then locked the door, so no one came barging in.
"Alright then, hopefully in a few months you'll be able to transform into a snow leopard at will. It might not be quite perfect, the spot might be a bit different, you might be missing spots, or your tail might be too short. But you'll have the body and form of one. Yet, your mind will be completely your own, no change. I don't really expect any results today, that might be a bit too hopeful. It usually takes a week or two for you to even be able to transform at all, and then you transform right back. Staying in the form is the most difficult to understand. Anyways, you ready?"

"Alright, I'll use the Revelio charm to help you get into that form, and I want you to stay in the snow leopard form for as long as you possibly can. It might only be 5 seconds, but at least you'll know the feeling. On the count of three, one...two...three, Revelio!"

She pointed her wand at Fionna as she said it and watched as a snow leopard on four paws was where Fionna just stood.

"Not bad! Not bad at all!" Lillian said happily when Fionna transformed back. It had only been a few seconds, but still, it was an accomplishment.
"Alright, I'll do it again, this time, if you know where you are and who you are for more than a second, try and move while in that form. Try and flick your tail or toss your head. Even if it's only for a split second, you'll be moving in that form. We can move up to more motion over time, walking around the classroom and such. For now, just try and toss your head or wave your tail if you can, okay?"

She counted to three again, then used the Revelio spell. She remembered using it on herself and man that had been hard work. At least she wouldn't mix up the spell at all, since she'd used it so often.

"Great job." Lillian said with a smile. It was a great start. Being alone had taken so much longer, it took Lillian a couple days just to register the parts of her body that had changed into deer form and it took about 5 tries, not 2, just to know what her animal form was, since she couldn't really use her animal eyes in the mirror right off the bat. Still, she'd managed alone, so Fionna would be able to do it with help fairly quickly. One of her fears was just that Fionna might not be able to stay in her loepard form the whole time at fullmoon. If she transformed back, it would confuse the heck out of Lucas.

"Okay, one more time, the tail is usually the hardest to realize you have since there's obviously no part of the human even like the tail. If you hurt your paw and transform back, it'll be your hand that's hurt. If you hurt your tail, it'll only hurt in animal form. Okay, this time, really concentrate as much as possible on the tail. One, two, three- Revelio!"

"Well you at least managed to move the tail, and it was certainly good for a first try, it takes a lot of getting used to."
Lillian remembered how her short tail she hadn't been able to move how she wanted for the longest time.
"See, you won't of course need the tail as an animagus, I doubt you'll ever use it. I'm just showing you this part of it so that you can get the feel for the body a bit more."
She thought about what to do next...hmmm
"Alright, one more time, then we can call it a day. This time, try and move. Take a step or two. You'll probably fall or shake a bit, it's perfectly okay. Just do your best, kay?"
Lillian used the spell revelio again and once more Fionna was there as a snow leopard.
