I take my hood (usually my hoodie but any hood should suffice) and pull it up over my head. Without tearing the fabric, the first sign of a change is any notable ears the form I'm taking may have, next a tail, then my face begins to change. Next my hands and feet change as my body changes size and takes on a coating of feathers, fur, scales, or otherwise. As I shift, my clothing and gear fade away, with my hooded clothing vanishing last. The same process goes in reverse when I turn back to human form, but rather than taking a minute to become an animal it only takes moments to revert.
The terms 'morphic resonance' and 'morphogenetic field' weren't originally coined as something connecting to animals, but they've come to symbolize a connection on a pseudo-mystical level between all animal life including humans. Is this how a pwca shapeshifts? Potentially. They have a connection, whether it's mystical, somehow biological, or otherwise. This connection lets them beccome animals, the most common being a horse, but also plenty of others such as rabbits, goats, cats, and dogs. These are just the animals humans noted in their encounters with them, and each pwca is different. Is their human form even their true 'default'? Probably not. For argument's sake, Sarah is a pwca, and that means she can learn all sorts of animal shapes as she gets better at it.
