Highkey, I think Absolute Cheetah is actually a perfect visual representation of what a Skindancer should look like.

Like, genuinely, the way they made Cheetah look so unnatural and malformed, like her body was twisted and forced into a shape it wasn't meant to have and the way Barbara's skin seems to stretch and comfort in and around the beast portions of her body just really fits super well with how I imagined what such a horrific ritual could produce. A Kinfolk so desperate for the power they were denied that they'd twist themselves into an abomination to do it.
