| - Rashida is an Androsphinx, a mythical creature with the head of a human and the body of a lion (Panthera leo). Her ethnicity is African in origin (being related to the Theban Sphinx, one of the most famous members of this race), but she is albino - a notable aesthetic trait, but biologically possible in this continuity (albino Sphinxes are similar to Spirit Bears, 1 in every 10 animal being white, for the population she is descended from). Nonetheless, her straight, slightly off-white hair, pale skin, and reddish pink catlike eyes do attract odd looks. Her ears are furry and feline-like, not humanoid, with tufts like a lynx or bobcat, and she has fangs like a lion as well as whiskers coming from just above her cheeks. The jewelry adorning her body is typical of Sphinx mystics, with bangles

| - Rashida is an Androsphinx, a mythical creature with the head of a human and the body of a lion (Panthera leo). Her ethnicity is African in origin (being related to the Theban Sphinx, one of the most famous members of this race), but she is albino - a notable aesthetic trait, but biologically possible in this continuity (albino Sphinxes are similar to Spirit Bears, 1 in every 10 animal being white, for the population she is descended from). Nonetheless, her straight, slightly off-white hair, pale skin, and reddish pink catlike eyes do attract odd looks. Her ears are furry and feline-like, not humanoid, with tufts like a lynx or bobcat, and she has fangs like a lion as well as whiskers coming from just above her cheeks. The jewelry adorning her body is typical of Sphinx mystics, with bangles, headress/crown, and an Egyptian necklace decorated with gold and rose-cut diamonds. Her lioness body has pure white fur, being albino and all, but she also has the wings of an eagle (with distinctive curved primaries), feathers running down her back and, for flight control, a feathery tail like a dromaeosaurid dinosaur, with an ankh-shaped tail fan and display plumes at the tip. There are rumors that Rashida may have had a humanoid form, particularly given some of the stories coming from her home continuum, but these tales have not been confirmed. When disguised as a human, she prefers a normal African-American or African appearance whenever possible, to avoid attracting attention. Her favorite human disguise is a well-muscled African woman in her mid-thirties, with short, curly black hair, a black bulletproof vest over a dark gray T-shirt, fingerless gloves, military camo pants, and combat boots.
