[this is way too long, so there's a tldr at the bottom!!]
Recent events had not been kind to Suiteheart. Firstly, Margaery's vampirism had returned. Secondly, her locket broke. This incident caused her grand secret to come into the open, and the light it cast upon her left her cold and dark. She hated herself for this, for all these things. She needed to do better. And she would.
So that's why she was on the move. After Lup's information, she had vowed to search even harder for her children. There were only so many places the souls could hide before she happened upon them. Suiteheart would find them. She would bring them home, and she would reunite her family. She wasn't doing it to be a hero; she was doing in order to be a survivor. Because if she were honest, she wasn't sure how much more she could take before she dropped dead.
These thoughts swirled in her head, making her feel odd. She decided to use this energy to propel her search for her children. She had traveled north and east already, so she was headed south. Surely, she would find something. She even carried a small bag with her that held the charm bracelets she had made for her kids in the event that she found them.
A sudden but far-off rustling sound caused her ears to perk, and she stopped moving. After having almost been ran over by Hazel's colt, she was not trying to be trampled today. She swiveled her head to the left, searching for the source of the noise. The scent that drifted to her was not that of the pony. No, it was something entirely different. In fact, the smell brought up a sense of dread in her, yet she could not tell why.
'What the hell could this be?' Suite wondered, trying not to let her curiosity get the better of her.
Despite her better judgement, she crept toward the sounds. Every fiber of her being demanded that she turn around, but she couldn't. It was as if she were drawn forward. Though she knew what she would come across would not be good, she could not stop herself; she had to be certain. She needed to exterminate the idea that was beginning to circulate in her mind.
'Not here,' she thought, a stern look on her face.
'There's no way.' It didn't seem possible, but maybe it was.
Glimpses of white fur could be seen here and there through the dense foliage that engulfed her. The trees around her made Suite think herself extremely small, but the creature ahead of her was massive. Panic arose in her chest as her true fears were realized: it was a bear.
It was not just any bear, however. No, it was a polar bear. She had no idea how this bear had gotten here, but it made her uneasy to even begin to think about. As her worry heightened, her vision began to darken. Her head was pounding. Suiteheart's legs almost gave out, causing her to stumble with a loud crash.
The bear whipped its head around, and Suiteheart's blue eyes grew wide with panic as she stumbled backwards. The mighty creature roared at her, taking a step forward. Before Suite could not see what happened next, for she hit the ground beneath her, unconscious.

Suiteheart blinked her eyes open, jolting upward. She had blacked out. Had the bear rendered her unconscious? And where... Where was that monster? The last incident with a bear had left she and her family absolutely scarred. Suite was more than thankful the creature had disappeared. And she knew she needed to get the hell away from here before it returned.
The female scanned the area around her, and she could not remember which way was home. And she could not recall how she had happened upon this place. Had the bear really frightened her that badly? No, it couldn't have... could it?
A bright pain stung her head as she tried to remember her fading thoughts. Suiteheart winced, pulling into herself, trying to escape the hurting sensation. No use. Her head felt like it was on fire. Burning. Burning.
Burning. Lifting a paw upward to hold her head, she -
The observer froze in place. Her eyes widened as she moved her paw in front of her face to see it was truly changed... Her usually petite white paws were now massive. Jet-black claws jutted out of them too. She looked down at her form, begging and praying it was not what she thought it to be.
And yet it was.
Suiteheart had shifted into a polar bear.
"Change back, you fucking idiot!" she roared. This was her worst nightmare come true. To be stuck in a bear's body... This... No. How could her powers return to her only to betray her again? She cursed anyone and everyone she could think of. This wasn't fucking fair!
Maybe she just needed to concentrate. Suiteheart closed her eyes, and she waited. But nothing happened. There was no revising this mistake. There was no going back. She was stuck.
"No. No. Nononononononono!" the usually calm and collected girl hollered.
"I can't change back..." she murmured to no one, voice small and terrified for coming from such a formidable beast.
[tldr; suiteheart can shapeshift again, but she is bound to the body of a polar bear. she's very distraught because she doesn't know how to reverse this]
