They form whenever she thinks of a simple goal, seeping out of her form into shape, as if a ghost stepped out of a piece of armor. If that goal is not clearly defined, or Carefully structured in her Mind, the resulting specter is distracted and fumbling at best, or casually destructive at worst.
When she actively moderates her Thoughts and wants though, the shades she can Summon are dedicated and Versatile servants with a diverse skillset.

Background & Trigger
"Jessica was a good student, good Grades, a nice friend-circle, good familial ties. She liked to laugh and have fun with her friends, always having their best in mind. She was on the trackteam and regularly went swimming, not for sport, but for fun, often taking her 6 year younger sister with her to the swimming hall.
Trigger:
Your sister means the world to you.
She is much younger than you, but very able to watch out for herself.
You two and your parents go to parades and theme/amusement parks regularly, and over the last few visits you have gained the privilege to go about with your sister unsupervised, meeting up with your parents later.
Naturally you and your sister want to use it, when the next parade comes around.
You go all the way to the front, looking at the parade from up close.
Then you get thirsty, so you take your sister by the hand and start making your way through the crowd.
It's tight, people push and shove in their effort to better their view.
When you reach the Cart where they sell drinks, you notice your sister is gone.
You turn around, but she is nowhere to be seen.
You look around, retrace your steps, the horror dawning on you.
Suddenly there is a loud noise, shouts and screams, and the mass of people begins moving in chaos.
With the knowledge of your sister somewhere in the panicking mass, lost and scared of her surroundings, you trigger, shouting for your sister.
After the Trigger: Shepherd has triggered 2 years ago, and by now she has built a minor reputation as a Heroically inclined Bountyhunter/ Mercenary. She tried to stay with her family for a while, but since her Power knows no stopping she took a step back from them and went out into the world to not endanger them.
She hit several moments of bad in her last 1.5 years, ending in her basically ending up in Denver, no money, no opportunity, but she is a Cape, there is always work for Jack-o-all trades. "
