Rack-sasha were part of a special arm of Sukebe’s pokegirl army. Charged with the early infiltration and destabilization of key points in the human forces, their combination of mind reading, eidetic memory and transformation made them the ultimate infiltrators. Knowledgeable of human military structures and cunning in their own right, most Rack-sasha’s avoided the high ranked officers of the human armies, instead preferring to impersonate and replace lower ranking officers, usually the aides or assistants of the higher-ups, and then carefully manipulating events from there. Given enough time, a skilled operative could eliminate the subject while take on his appearance and memories, infiltrate the base and quickly reduce it into a state of absolute chaos and paranoia usually by creating a divide between the rank and file, and command officers. This made it easier for other pokegirl forces to engage and destroy the heavier fortified bases and installations. Some agents were skilled enough to actually turn the two sides against each other in open mutiny before the assault forces actually arrived, practically leaving the base defenceless.

The biggest weakness in the Rack-sasha’s abilities is the amount of energy they have to use to adopt and maintain a form, this means that under normal circumstances she can only keep a form up for approximately 12 hours before need to revert to her natural state for anywhere from 4 to 8 hours, plus needing to consume a large amount of energy. This meant that the Rack-sasha’s had to locate and drain personnel of portions their life aura while the target was asleep or extremely tired and the person’s natural defences were low. The drain tended to leave the target lethargic and fatigued for approximate 24 to 48 hours. Later towards the end of the war, any signs of extreme fatigue in a significant number of personnel were seen as signs to a possible infiltration by a Rack-sasha and extensive DNA scanning was implemented to try and expose the infiltrator. Though these methods were hit or miss, many Rack-sasha lost their lives when exposed in this manner, making them even more rare then they already are. An extreme hatred for this breed was common during the wars, as some of these infiltrators will take their namesake too far, and would dispose of their targets by consuming the bodies, some even believing this actually improved amount of information they had for the impersonation.

In their natural state the Rack-sasha look very similar to the Tigress, the reddish-orange seeming a little darker and the black stripes narrower than the Tigress. They average 5 and half feet to 6 feet tall with a C to D cup. The major difference between the two is the head of golden hair and the fact that her body is more slender and lithe rather than the toned and muscles form of the Tigress. Many Rack-sasha have a appreciation of dance, especially the more sensuous and graceful forms, and either like to make an effort to attend such performances or practice the form themselves, mainly the latter. A Rack-sasha’s personality are rather varied, some are rather malicious and cruel and use their abilities to sow chaos and confusion as they travel about with or without a Tamer, others can be rather kind hearted and generous and try to help others out the best they can. Whatever the personality some things are always true.

All Rack-sasha are cunning creatures, their minds constantly working to see how they can shift and twist things in the favour of themselves or their Tamer, also it is rare to find a Rack-sasha who doesn’t enjoy good conversation, riddles and wordplay. A Tamer who can do any one of these even half well can expect to have a rather contented Rack-sasha, if they can do all three the pokegirl will become rather enamoured with him. Rack-sashas also tend to be planners and strategists, usually centring their plans around diversion and stealth rather than a frontal attack or application of power. They can be good Alphas, but will only accept the position for a Tamer they feel a great deal of affection for. They are also more than eager to assist in helping their tamer keep the Harem fully tamed, seeing as they can feed at the same time, and sometimes will help out by either adopting a male form or impersonating their Tamer, though they prefer not to assume a male form as it feel too unnatural for them. They will also assist in helping the Tamer with new harem members by scanning them and assuming their form in a Taming session, giving the Tamer a ‘dry run’ so they can figure out the best methods to please the girl. This has also made the Rack-sasha a hot commodity for Ranches and Breeders.

Rack-sasha’s are carnivores and supplement their meals with milk and small amounts of other foods. These meals grant them little in the way of energy and are more for show and they’re own enjoyment of the flavours present. The main staple of the Rack-sasha’s diet is the life aura of humans and pokegirls. How often they need to feed depends on how much they’ve had to use their shape shifting abilities. If a Rack-sasha has used little, or none, of her abilities then she can get away with feeding once every couple of weeks at the most…many just taking small ‘meals’ after a taming with either her Tamer or a harem sister, these small doses leaving the target only mildly fatigued and is recoverable after a good nights sleep. After a long battle, or extensive use of their abilities, a sizable amount of energy is needed quickly and many Tamer’s will encourage all the members of their harem to help out, usually leading to a multi-girl taming session during which the Rack-sasha drains a little as possible from each member in order to keep the fatigue to a minimum for everyone. Many feral Rack-sasha’s have taken to using their telepahty to scan members of a harem at camps in the wild, and then approach members that are separated from the rest in the guise of either one of pokegirls or the Tamer and engaging them in a taming session, then feeding on the exhausted prey after leaving them completely drained but otherwise unharmed. While they can easily drain an victim completely, leaving the poor individual deceased, they can temper it with their Aura Sight which allows them to monitor how much energy they drain.

Combat wise, Rack-sasha’s will never rely on their natural form, they are simply not a match for any of the more physical pokegirls. Unless they have been trained in other psychic or magical attacks, a Rack-sasha’s first and only line of defence will be her shape change ability, their Telekinesis too weak to used for any actual attack and more for fine manipulation of small objects, many are skilled pickpockets using that power. Rack-sashas will enter the battle already shape shifted, usually into something innocuous or weak looking like a Titmouse or Kitten. This usually leaves them enough time to use their telepathy to delve into the opponents mind while their guard is down. There they shift through the memories of the opponent looking for the toughest battle they’ve had and then assume the shape of that opponent. A Rack-sasha’s favourite choice of memories tend to be ones that are traumatic and/or nightmarish for their opponent giving them another advantage in battle. They have all the strengths, weaknesses and can use any techniques their opponent experienced during that particular battle, though not exactly at full strength, most can only muster about 75 to 90% of the actually attack based on the information present in the memory unless the Rack-sasha herself has experienced the same attack. Against targets that they can’t read with their Telepathy, they drawn upon their own experiences and memories to shape shift into an appropriate form to battle in.

Feral Racksashas are easily mistaken for feral Tigress', their intellects reduced so they are limited to basic hunting strategies rather than their more elaborate plans and tactics. Unfortunately this causes an issue as they are commonly misidentified as Tigress' and are commonly killed in the attempts to capture them as Tamers overestimate their physical abilities. Thresholders are tricky, sometimes they can hide their changes if the Racksasha's abilities kick in early enough, at least until the time they need their first taming. Others are not so lucky and again are commonly misidentified as Tigress', at least until properly scanned at the Pokecenter or Ranch, but are sometimes sold privately to tamers not expecting the weaker breed.
