Combat Mode: The Feathered Storm (Wild Shape)
When Ruzja enters combat, she typically shifts into a Huge Air Elemental. Because of her Wild armor property, she keeps her armor bonus. She flavors this form not as a cloud, but as a translucent, semi-solid Feathered Serpent made of wind and debris.

Spellcasting: She flies above the battlefield, raining down Stormbolts (AoE 16d8 electricity) and Sirocco (Fatigue/Exhaustion).
Crowd Control: She uses the Whirlwind ability to physically scoop up enemy archers or casters and hold them captive inside her body while she continues to cast spells.
Healing: If an ally is down, she can swoop in with 120 ft. movement and cast Heal instantly.
Combat Mode: The Jungle Behemoth
If she needs to physically destroy a building or grapple a giant, she shifts into a Huge Allosaurus (using Huge Animal stats) and applies the Celestial Template (via Planar Wild Shape feat).

Special: Smite Evil (1/day) as swift action: +0 attack, +16 damage against one evil foe. Tactics: She charges the biggest threat, biting and grappling them, then using Improved Vital Strike on subsequent turns to deliver massive bite damage (6d8+Str) while holding them in her jaws.
