Valdis is very comfortable in both forms, even though the Hellhound form is still fairly 'new' to her. She is comfortable in her skin because she really has no reason not to be. She is beautiful by most modern, European/American standards and knows it. She is also not afraid to use it to her advantage. She's not so much prideful as she simply knows it to be true.

As a Hound she feels powerful, perhaps in a bad way as she can afford to be more reckless in that form. Thicker hide is a better defense than human skin.
