    The Woodmouse changes little from the Titmouse, physically. They can gain an average of 4 to 6 centimeters in height and retain their animorphic mouse appearance, but tend to become a little huskier adding on some weight in muscle and their fur darkens to a combination of blacks and browns. This is sometimes accented by the Woodmouse who will optionally dye patches of their fur in various shades of color depending on the season.
    Mentally, the Woodmouse changes drastically from their Titmouse cousins. They become slightly more aggressive and their intelligence is boosted to more along human norms, loosing their ‘Ditzy’ mindsets. Complex tasks are more easily understood, but they still cannot master many technical skills. The Woodmouse also loses much of the fear associated with Cat, Bird and Snake Pokégirls, instead becomes an intense wariness. Only constant association can lower this to a reasonable level of acceptance, but they will always be more alert around them, even if they’re Harem sisters.
    A Woodmouse tends to prefer clothing that would act as camouflage, sometimes having several sets available depending on the terrain. She will also try and get a hold of a belt or bandoleer that she can attach multiple pouches and small sack to store her findings. One last touch is the acquisition or making of a knife for more utilitarian uses, but she loathes using it for combat, not liking getting that close to threats.
    Although a stronger battler than the Titmouse, they are still quite weak compared to other combat oriented Pokégirls. Their main use is as a forager and a scout. They’re naturals at collecting various nuts, fruits and roots for food, and can even hunt out and collect small game and fish, possessing the knowledge of how to preserve the food for long term use…just don’t expect them to cook anything.
    Combat wise, they only marginally effective and tend to opt to retreat from combat using their natural stealth skills and concealment ability, their low pain threshold making the concept of putting oneself in danger very unappealing to them. However if forced into combat, they prefer to utilize hit and run strikes, acting more as a skirmisher then an outright combatant. To this end, many Woodmice tend to prefer the use of muscle powered ranged weapons such throwing knives, bows and such for their simplicity and silence (firearms are too complex for them to properly maintain). The main tactic for them is to find an area of heavy concealment, hopefully with lots of plants or trees, and use their Concealment ability, which increase their ability to blend into the foliage. This power is only truly effective if they are completely motionless, or moving at an extremely slow pace. Anything faster than a slow walk will break the Concealment and reveal the Woodmouse. From their hiding place, the Woodmouse will then either lay in wait or snipe at the target when they are not looking, moving to another location using their agility when necessary to quickly cover ground and find a new location and avoid retaliatory attack. If need be, she can resort to her Drill Strike attack, but usually as a last resort…being that close to a potential source of pain is not something she will like.
    Despite the lack of combat ability, most Tamers who possess a Woodmouse say their foraging and path finding skills outweigh the negatives, especially if the Tamer travels mainly through a lot of wilderness.
