Fictional character biography
When Travis Morgan the Warlord encountered a lovely young woman in Skartaris captured by the evil Titans that lived on the Isle of Titans, he freed her. Calling herself Shakira, the former captive revealed a surprise for her rescuer. The Warlord was shocked to find that his damsel in distress was a feline shapeshifter.
When he saved her from savage bird-men, Shakira became his ally. She set about repaying the favor when she shapeshifted her way out of a robot's trap that had ensnared both her and Morgan, and destroyed their mechanical torturer with its own laser weapons. Warlord asked Shakira if she was a woman who became a cat or a cat who became a woman, but she never gave him an answer. In the strange world of Skartaris, Shakira has become Morgan's constant companion and a trusted friend.
