Danielle Laika has always been strong, but through imbuement, she has become almost unstoppable. Her arms are almost as thick as the trees that she can fell with a single stroke of her axe. Her broad shoulders can easily shrug off blows from any force, and a flexing of her muscles can even deflect or shatter bullets.
After the Events of Game IV, Danielle’s supreme strength no longer requires that she eats an unnatural amount of protein, much to the pleasure of her digestive system.
Power comes with a price, however, and her strength can only be maintained as long as she continues to feed her body with a steady source of protein, which her body uses to heal damaged muscle and create stronger ones at a supernatural rate. This often comes from the meat of the animals that she hunts, but she's not against carrying extra protein powders and supplements in order to ensure that her muscles are always strong.

Where Athena learned, you didn't have the best equipment, or sometimes any equipment at all, so she had to learn how to diagnose a problem very quickly and accurately, aided by some chanting and maybe even by sipping on ground insects to help pull the information out of the air.

The beastmaster shouts, and their human voice cracks into a deep, bestial roar. Their body swells with muscle, clothes melting into a thick pelt of fur. Seconds later the beastmaster is gone. Standing in their place is a massive grizzly bear.
