    Although many Pokégirls are beautiful, the Swanmaid is truly above and beyond the flock in this regard. Based, in appearance, on the pre-Sukebe animal known as the Mute Swan, the animorphic Swanmaid is quite avian in her appearance, just as Pidgy before her. However, the vast majority of a Swanmaid's feathers change to a startlingly pure white, although a few cases of jet-black have been observed. The former variety are often blue-eyed, whilst amethyst is the standard optical hue in the latter variety. In either case, a Swanmaid retains much of her lightweight structure from the Pidgy form, but no longer has to rely on her feet for fine manipulation.
    Rather, instead of wings that are useless as hands, a Swanmaid's wings are much larger and better developed, but can be metamorphed into arms and hands when needed. This feature allows them not only a wider variety of abilities, but an improved capability to function indoors. The feathers of a Swanmaid are also capable of shedding water easily, and her feet are webbed, both features designed to make aquatic landings more feasible.
    This was done because the role of the Swanmaid, as opposed to her more violent sisters, was that of long-range messenger, a position that often entailed traveling over open water. As such, it was logical to bestow upon her the capability to land in and function in an aquatic environment, just as the swans upon which she were based could. However, as a side-effect of her enhanced ability whilst in the air, a Swanmaid generally cannot take to the air quite as directly as many of her sisters. Instead, a running (or swimming) start and a fairly large open area are necessary for her to properly take flight.
    Personality-wise, a Swanmaid will tend to be somewhat vain about her appearance and increased intellect, and prefer to maintain grace and beauty if at all possible. As such, she will often come off as arrogant and haughty around others, especially strangers or other beautiful Pokégirls. In the presence of those she is familiar with or 'girls that do not represent competition, though, this fades a great deal, and a much softer side emerges. As such, around a tamer who appreciates her, a Swanmaid will tend to be extremely loving, and will often encourage him to make use of her body, so long as it doesn't involve getting dirty. It has been said that they make excellent pillows, in fact.
    When it comes to combat, Swanmaids aren't particularly apt at air-to-ground combat due to their trouble with landings. However, if a Swanmaid makes it into the air, woe be unto the flying type who must face her in the open skies. With her increased flying speeds and endurance, a strong collection of aerial attacks, and her signature sonic “Honk” technique, there are few fliers who can match her in straight air-to-air. In sex battles, on the other hand, Swanmaids will often fail miserably, her dignity and unfamiliarity with the opponent causing her to feel more violent than passionate. As such, they are rarely seen therein, despite their possession of the “Edge of Delight” technique.
    In actual taming, however, so long as a Swanmaid has some familiarity with her tamer and feels properly appreciated, she will generally be quite passionate, and with edge of delight in her repertoire, her tamer often feels quite “appreciated” in return. Swanmaids' water-resistance also seems to prevent sexual fluids from being detrimental to their feathers, which means that, contrary to what one might expect, they have little-to-no compulsion about some of the more "dirty" sexual acts.
    Feral Swanmaids tend to take the haughty and arrogant side of the breed to the max, feeling threatened by even ugly breeds and lacking familiarity with almost anyone. As such, they are usually solitary, and often prefer to stay in flight, landing only on remote lakes or near uninhabited islands. Thresholding into a Swanmaid is uncommon, but not unknown.
