Currently no placeholder image as she's a bit unique in design ;~;
"I am...alive, moving. As once I had done before."
Behold something of an oddity. If woman were combined with fungus, in order to see if people can become closer to nature to lessen the burden on resources, eventually intending on going off to photosynthesis. Why a Fungus was chosen, probably due to some odd plotwist.txt reason rather than a typical photosynthesizing plant. Only having a bit of mitochondria at the top of her hair, this would require her to further utilize the typical manner of some fungi.
Parasitism
Most had found out, thanks to animal testing, just what she is capable of when requiring sustenance. From the pores of her body, the spores would be released. Coating anything in it, would result in eventually, being broken down. The spores would attach themselves to anything, a combination of their own DNA and her brain, enzymes would be released to allow anything to be dissolved in time. With it being such a slow process, most of the people originally thought that they had just spread normally. Though no one did quite notice it getting thicker. That was, 'till it was showing on the other side of the air-locked room. If that was not enough, the metal of the walls had now been absorbed by her as well. A 12x12 meter room all with steel, now compressed, robbed of impurities and left oozing out of her skin to form a shell. Protecting her from the oncoming gunfire as they attempted to berid her of life.
Some may ask, "If it is a parasite, why does it not consume her?" The answer, would be that it did. In a sense. It had taken control of the brain, interacting with the memories and thought processes, yet this brought a new level for the fungal tissue. That once just acted out of monotonous feeding process, now held connection to a thought process that induced curiosity, consideration, thinking. What of the woman? She is still alive, technically. Yet it did not entirely kill her, as it reached the brain, it had started to evolve schemes and ideas. How to keep it's self and the host alive, yet do more than just produce more spores. Thus eventually, all the organs were coated, yet not ruined, by the fungal 'fleshy' layer within. Other parasitic creatures were instantly captured, analyzed and dealt with. Thus also giving her quite the biological library, not only that but being unable to starve, as the planet was now her foodsource, water absorbed from the air passively, thus seriously reducing the requirement for it. It would be close to a symbiotic relationship. That is, had it not taken over her brain and all entirely unto it's self.
Thus, the park was stumbled upon! By means that are probably somewhere in plotwist.txt she arrived here! So now come the interesting things, the stuff you want to know about. How she eats and what she looks like:
Its appearance would probably be demi-human, using the bare white strans of fungi to cover herself up with multi-colored hair to reflect the plant like origins that now take hold within, green at the top while the rest is a combination of white, brown, black and red. most prominant reaching over her rear. Height variable with typical at 5'10, skin colouration being that of white with a hint of earthy brown to it, eyes without pupils yet can still see, build variable, lithe to 'save' on mass. Can be chubby after having someone though. Also, she can take the properties of something she recently took in. Wood, stone, metals could easily form as weapons or protective means to defend herself!
Regarding how she consumes? Well, that's a bit of a thing now!
She'd plant hyper-growing spores upon someone by any means she'd wish that would start to grow onto someone. The spores would grow quickly and trigger neural reactions based upon what she would want, allowing it to be anything from numbing, aphrodisiac or sloshygory/painful. From there on it would continue to take over the cornified layer and epidermis before going on to process it and go to dermis and endodermis skin layers to which she would pull them into her as they would be 'softened' enough to allow the rest of the fungal cells to entirely coat them further advancing the process. Eventually being absorbed into her being and leaving the waste/entirely absorbing the person within the 'intestines'. Though regular stuff would be fine too but it'd be her main type.
If you enter her normally, for whatever reason, there would not be much different. Only thing is that she would be lugging you about, possibly for storage since the spores would not have to go on you but the fungi can have direct contact would take care of one step on it's own. If light was present, the layers of flesh within would be rather thin though, easily seeing the fungal lines wrapping around her organs entirely.

Update log!
Attained wing construction and future potential flight from
Seradaphnis
Attained dragon fire organ, further wing and flight development, reformation and minor magical knowledge from
Chaosvolt
13/8/2013: After absorbin' most of
Seradaphnis she now has consideration towards flight! Absorbing his as part of the natural digestion process now allows her to build her own out of lighter sinew. Though making the rest of her body as tough and light would be an issue!
14/8/2013: She got herself a dragonmeal!
Chaosvolt had ended up entangled in her grasp and got some interesting abilities from him~
16/8/2013: A meeting with
Laressa not only provided a wonderfully large meal but also gave her silk using abilities! How she will manage not getting her spores on it? She has no idea~
20/8/2013: After meeting
Verdy, she found out a bit about her past! Not only that but she can clone herself!
30/8/2013: After meeting, patting and enjoying some time with
Nyhx she ended up 'sorbing and reconstructing the 'lil fellow after agreement (and request) to be let out, she managed to unlock reptilian scales, unhingable jaws and nightvision!
FunFax (yes, facts done like that because shut up);
With every person she absorbs her fungial spores change! Good luck fighting her illness if she wants you infected~
One may never really know now if they are dealing with the original Terevaraia or a clone! Seeing as how she's developed a bit of a hivemind here, she's sure to keep herself secured somewhere safe!
She also unlocked reptilian scales, unhingable jaws and nightvision!
