Shred -
“I still can't believe I get away with this stuff!”

To call Shred the "fangirl turned professional" is...actually quite appropriate. She became enraptured with underground (and illegal) message boards and chat-spheres that documented off-grid warrior activity. She even began downloading battle programs and started training in her off time from operating a gift shop in Iacon. Not that she minded selling historical Matrix replicas and special alt-mode bundle packs, but there was something scratching at the back of her brain case...something feral and cloying and ready to join something bigger, even if it was a group of assassins.
When she finally met the Raptoricons, having tracked them down herself, Thrashclaw and Slice weren't exactly thrilled. Eventually they knew two things: one, they were getting sloppy, and two, this little bird must be resourceful either way to find their ship (The Velocity). Sighing with defeat, Thrash eventually let Shred worm her way into their team, and even into their sparks.
The other Raptoricons had little concern over Shred's “allegiance,” since she so eagerly threw herself into becoming part of the team. Shred herself barely cared for the Autobot/Decepticon divide, feeling that the Raptoricons were the only ones who understood her.
Upon creating their new beast modes, Shred was actually the one who coined the name of the team, using old alien records that designated some of the species found on Chixulania.
Shred was the most immediately accepting of Gnash, taking pity on the creature that they had found. Her natural ability to make friends is something that Slice secretly envies.
Over the cycles, Shred has become an invaluable part of the team, bringing both newfound skill, and levity, to the Raptoricons' exploits.

Abilities/Weapons:
Shred's beast mode is hardly intimidating, being little more than a squawking ball of white feathers and snapping teeth. However, her compacted frame makes her the best jumper, and her small stature makes her the most quickly underestimated. Enemies are shocked and taken aback by the fierce flurry of feathers and talons that meet them head-on. Shred's eyes in beast mode can also see amazingly well at night, even better than Slice.

In her somewhat diminutive robot-mode, Shred sports a twin-edged blade, given to her by Slice. She is getting better at using it each megacycle. She also comes carrying a one-handed Energo-Pistol, which she is also getting very accustomed to.

Weaknesses:
Shred's inexperience and overly-enthusiastic nature are a clear liability in battle, and despite her best efforts, sometimes she just can't help herself, and puts the Pride in danger through her ignorance. In addition, once her foes survive her initial surprise-attack, her small size can become a potential hinderance. Nevertheless, she has dedicated herself to self-improvement, so there's something to be said for that.
