The discovery of the Psilady was perhaps one of the greatest blessings that evolutionary stones visited upon the world. Evolving from Psidykes via a Dark Stone, ironically, the breed is overall far more pleasant and, thankfully, much less inclined to lesbianism and violence, the latter of which can be attributed to the empathy from which they draw their name. Strange amongst the psychic-types and often considered the antithesis of the more popular Alaka-wham breed, Psiladies' powers are derived from emotions and bonding rather than logic and intellect, making them much more personable, if less useful in some ways.

Physically, only those Psidykes who were allowed to take on their feral appearance change drastically; for the rest, it's a very subtle shift; claws vanish, as do most other inhuman characteristics, and their skin smooths a good bit, becoming almost silky in some instances. Overall, their appearances also tend towards becoming more graceful in subtle ways, making it easy to discern them from their unevolved form, but without one clear distinction sticking in the minds of most beholders. This has led some to speculate that it simply their "better natures" showing through, which is untrue for the most part. However, there is a slight grain of truth in the statement; some Psiladies have been observed to emit a low-frequency psychic "aura" that betrays their feelings by altering the perceptions of others slightly. As such, a happy Psilady may look radiant, whereas an angry one may appear more terrifying that she is physically capable of being.

Mentally, the change is much more drastic, as previously indicated. The instinctive hatred of men ebbs and generally drains off, being replaced by a more accepting viewpoint. However, in many cases, the fact that they no longer dislike men as a rule is difficult to perceive due to the fact that they have trouble interacting with those who restrain their emotions, a group that contains a majority of male tamers. Beyond that, though, they simply become more pleasant in general due to the lack of genetic hatred and because they are now somewhat affected by the emotional states of those around them, particularly those they are close to. As such, most do not like to stir negative emotions in others because said emotions often cause negative feedback towards them. Thankfully, though, they do have the ability to filter this psychic input so that it does not create Slowboob-esque problem, especially from those they don't know the source well/at all.

Beyond making them more pleasant, though, the fact that they can easily perceive the surface emotions of others also makes them fairly good to talk to. It means a Psilady will rarely say the “wrong thing” to someone she holds no animosity for unless said wrong thing would require much deeper awareness to predict or she is purposefully filtering out emotional input from the person. Many, as such, feel extremely awkward around those with Dark-type blood traits. In any case, there is a darker side to the empathetic nature of the Psilady. If she feels animosity towards someone, then the abilities that prevent social faux-pas can easily be turned to triggering negative emotional responses from said someone, an ability that can be useful in battle, but has sometimes been put to less... proper uses.

Aside from that, Psiladies aren't particularly exceptional combatants as far as psychic-types go, but this has been known to vary by temperament in both directions, with some specimens trying to avoid combat altogether whilst others excel in it. Their telekinetic powers, compared to other psychics, are fairly weak, which means that their use is rarely a Psilady's primary offensive tactic. However, the addition of dark-type abilities offers a secondary set of abilities that help greatly, and the aforementioned emotional manipulation is excellent for creating openings in the enemy's defenses. One note, however, is that Delta-bonded Psiladies have almost invariably proved to be superior in combat than un-bonded ones, likely due to the emotional reinforcement that it creates, as well as a secondary perception of her performance based on reading the tamer's emotions through the bond. The phenomenon is still under research as of 300 AS.

In taming too, aside from a few minor quirks, Psiladies aren't particularly exceptional, especially now that most don't have a specific gender-based preference. The first of these is, as mentioned, the ability to subtly alter the perception of her appearance. In regards to taming, this generally means that, when lusty and aroused, a Psilady will usually take on an affect that is conducive to taming and thus help "set the mood." The other is an ability that, although available to most psychic-types, is rarely used by other breeds because its development is not a logical extension to their mindset; to psychically link the pleasure centers of herself and her lover, causing the pleasure felt by each to be felt by both and, thus, generally allowing for perfectly synchronized climaxes. It is due to this that the ability, termed Ecstasy Bond, has been banned in most sex battles, which leaves most Psiladies to preform unexceptionally in them.

Psiladies don’t have a particularly interesting feral state; like many Very Near Humans, it is primarily a state of extreme distraction in which they have trouble remembering complex instructions and have little common sense. The only real wrinkle that the breed has in that regard is that most ferals have a tendency to make, via subconscious use of their powers, very awkward and embarrassing statements about those they encounter. For this reason as well as the breeds desirability, ferals generally do not remain as such long. Thresholding into a Psilady is also unlikely, if only because of the rarity of males with whom Psiladies are likely to have children by, but nor is it unheard of.
