Zodiac

Abstract
Zodiac is peculiar by Predacon standards. Where other beasts can let their tempers flare with impunity, Zodiac is, for the most part, passive. It's not that she avoids or dislikes a good fight, but she would much prefer to fight with her words and intelligence than her claws and beak – that is, after all, the Sky Painter way; and as a scientist she values her processor more than any weapon. She's usually happy to leave any rough-and-tumble business to those with more experience or those who actually want to fight. Just don't assume that means she refuses to fight. Poke her buttons enough and you'll be lucky if your dignity is all you lose – she has a swear vocabulary that can melt audials, and her gift of speed means she can strike a dozen times before you register you've been hit once by her wicked sharp beak or talons. And if you think she's only dangerous is an actual fight, think again – she tends to bite 'bots she disagrees with or dislikes."'Fast enough for you?'"
