Still in the brainstorming phrase but here's what I've got.

Idea 1: Undead slasher villain-esque hunter. Canonically she's a mercenary and a hunter from the zombie apocalypse (and fresh out of a death cult) so the vibes fit. From a distance she'd look more or less human, but up close it would become clear that something is very wrong. Glowing eyes, under her clothes it'd become evident that her rib cage and spine are visible. While she'd still be conscious (and maybe breathing?) I'd want to lean into the ghoul aspects. Parts of her are rotting. Bones are exposed. There'd be something on her face that resembles her Reaper mask, or maybe just straight up a mask that she can take on and off. However, I'm struggling a bit for powers beyond just...giving her a spectral shotgun, or something? Maybe special tracking abilities? Inspiration taken from the Deathslinger and these vibes.

Idea 2: This one's a bit vaguer, but leaning into the dog/pack hunter aspect. I tossed her up on the tdm under Wilk but I'm struggling to come up with something beyond just werewolf - or maybe leaning into the Black Dog monster imagery as an omen of death and misfortune. Maybe she's a werewolf with red eyes that lurks in the shadows and has shadow powers - illusion creation, tracking, quick movement through shadow?
