I imagine the sort of thing that is more uncomfortable and jarring if it happens suddenly when one is unprepared for it. Probably if she willed them out deliberately, they’d come a bit slower and with much less discomfort.
Notice that one wing grew under her top and stretched it out in one direction, shifting it over sothe other wing missed the top altogether. And the tail is definitely cramped in those panties!
When they first introduced her she said her parents died in an accident, that’s why she was in an orphanage. I would say being dead is a pretty damn good reason for not being in your kids life, just sayin.
That just means that we’ll only be meeting them via flashback.
As for your other point, I feel as though the words “good”, “acceptable”, or even “understandable” are really hard for the bereaved to use. Logic usually has a hard time overcoming the emotional need to have your parents with you.
By the way, Dette isn’t being mean in the last panel, just pointing out how much Sali needs the second talisman, at least until she has had time to actually get thing under control
The logical thing would to invest in some open back clothes that are stretchy. Then to learn to control the reaction without having a meltdown after the knee-jerk response. Once she learns to calm herself and revert instead of stressing and prolonging the trigger, she should have an easier time figuring out how to avoid triggers in general.

OK I’ve been confused for a while now and finally just have to ask.
When Astali first showed up she manifested feathered wings and taloned feet. I thought it was stated at that time she was a Harpy/Siren hybrid. IIRC, her first talisman was to help her hold human form because her harpy form is much taller, holding out the problem of hulking out and destroying her clothes, plus needing to hold human form easily in order to blend in with the human world.
Where’s the incubus/succbus stuff coming from again? I just started seeing it when Astali got her demon tail. Did Astali have 3 parents or something? Has her harpy side been retconned out and I missed it?
I am sure this has been asked 583 times in the comments before. Apologize for #584…
Actually, i think the Big Bird form is her siren side; no harpy required. In Wapsi mythology, sirens are apparently maritime raptors (as they were in Roman myth, if not Greek).
Sirens were believed to combine women and birds in various ways. In early Greek art, Sirens were represented as birds with large women’s heads, bird feathers and scaly feet. Later, they were represented as female figures with the legs of birds, with or without wings, playing a variety of musical instruments, especially harps.
There is a picture of a polychromed figurine here.
Nadette says puberty is bad enough for one gender and Astal is getting a double dose… what does she mean by that? Just by having her demon part hit puberty as well?
No, I think that, on top of normal human hormones, she’s getting hit with the enhanced hormones of her siren side, and again with her succubus side, both of which are HIGHLY sexual in nature.
Some people (me amongst them) believe a woman with the wings and legs of a bird and the torso and head of a woman is a Harpy, but apparently that can also describe a Siren now
Ouch? Does it hurt when succubus transforms?
There is probably some discomfort when any polymorphic critter quick changes, I imagine.
Or her emergink tail pulls her panties into a super vedgie… Dat vould be both painful und humiliatink..

It probably hurts when she’s resisting it.
Restrictive clothing
Yeah, her tiddies magnify inside that bathing suit. I bet that smarts.

Maybe when it’s an involuntary reaction involving changes she’s not used to. Sort of a mix between a too hard sneeze and a Charlie horse
Don’t mess with Nadette. She’s no piker.
It looks like Nadette is calling “BS” on Atsali being able to quickly get her succubus side under control through “logic” and “research” alone!
“Do not adjust your set. For the next hour, we will control your TV…”
“Just sit quietly and we will control all that you see and hear”
The MSM’s wet dream…
We control the horizontal.
We control the vertical.
Usually, playing footise leads to something that feels much better…
Is this her final form?
Well I don’t think her power level is over 8000 just yet so…
Yeah, she still has 1000 to go 😛
Have we met her dad? (Naturally I don’t think much of him for not sticking around, at least not without a good explanation…)
We haven’t met her mother yet

An accident would be a nice cover story for something else, that might lead to another adventure!
“Death” can be kinda complicated when talking about Paras.

Exactly!
If she was going to be cruel, she would’ve done this in front of witnesses, rather than in private.
And I’m pretty sure there’s an incoming foot massage.
…on the island, at that.
But she is exasperated with Atsali and she is feeling like Shelly and Bud did, that time.
Shelly and Bud exasperated with Monica and taking action. And what came after that.

well if you read up on the comments here, her father was an incubus I guess so that make her part succubus. Her mother was a siren.

Quoting Wikipedia:

Always believed that Harpies had bird features, and Sirens were evil mermaids
Argh. The comments i posted above (with the Spinnerette-pony avatar) were supposed to be responses to this post.
No, i’m wrong – i don’t know what i meant.
I’ll be over in the corner mumbling.
Question sorry for any ignorance in advance.

Her father’s side is hitting her with male hormones, apparently.
No, I think that, on top of normal human hormones, she’s getting hit with the enhanced hormones of her siren side, and again with her succubus side, both of which are HIGHLY sexual in nature.
I don’t recall anything about harpy being mentioned.

Thus, were the magic words used; then lo and behold…
