Full Name
Giovannina Lupe Maniscalco

Nickname
Nina

Gender
Female

Age
Twenty-four going on twenty-five

Ethnicity & Species
Β½ Cuban Β½ Italian, Purebred Werewolf

Power
It's called Empathy. Nina can read and mirror the feelings of others without reading apparent physical symptoms, allowing her to understand introverts and discover one emotion is actually hiding another. She can attack someone in a personal and emotional way since she knows exactly what emotion is flowing through others and can use this knowledge to play against them. She can even read emotional imprints left into environment or objects. She has displayed the ability to not only feel emotions, but also "hear" the heightened thoughts associated with specific emotions. This is probably do to the fact that both cortexes (emotional and mental) so closely relate with one another. An example would be she senses two spouses aiming a lot of hatred towards one another. She might get the echo of thought along with that emotion e.g "I cant believe he's cheating on me after all these years". However this is not to be confused with Telepathy. She can only get visionary "echoes" related to certain emotions. She can not read full memories. If she forges an emotional connection with another being. As long as that connection stays opens, she is able to sense when that person is in danger from far away and is also able to locate them by their "emotional scent". She also identifies people she knows by their β€œemotional scent” and is able to tell when someone is hiding by sensing their emotions nearby. Since she isn't a very strong fighter, she's better at defending herself by overloading other people with a barrage of emotions, causing them mental stress and often inducing stress attacks, panic attacks, and the like.

Sexual Orientation
Heterosexual.

Occupation
Therapist

Role
Sentinel

Personality

{Loyal, Traditional, Friendly, Adventurous, Caring}

She was raised with the Rose City Pack, so it's already obvious that she's very traditional. When she was a child rebelling wasn't something that was tolerated. For as long as she's been alive she's pretty much been the same. She tends to come off as cheerful and understanding, leading people to be a bit bewildered when her bad side comes out. She enjoys helping people just as much as she loves picking their brains. Associating herself with humans isn't really something she does; Sure, she'll go out with her co-workers every now and again for a bite to eat, but she doesn't let them in on her personal life or make any habits of spending time with them. She's a bit smaller than everybody else in the Pack and not exactly the strongest of the bunch when it comes to physical strength. Because of this, she learned from a young age to be two steps ahead of everybody else just to survive. With her ability, she somewhat gained a bit of a sadistic side to her. When people get on her bad side, she holds no regrets about using her powers to mentally and emotionally break people and reduce them to babbling idiots. She doesn't like when she is around more than two or three people experiencing strong emotions, as those emotions are thrown onto her and it tears her up. It makes it almost impossible for her to decipher which emotions are her own and if she's too busy being angry or depressed like them, she can't focus enough to change into a lighter mood for everyone. Her thoughts on humans...Well. She doesn't think much of them. She thinks about them as much as they think about the birds and the bees. Like other traditional Werewolves, she does not see them as equals. She's not inclined to committing genocide or just killing them at random, but she holds no regrets when it comes to simply killing a human that has offended her, disrespected her Pack, or has gotten hostile. She's notable for being very loyal and trustworthy. She's not the type of person that you want to keep secrets from because she definitely will do some snooping.

Theme Song





Somebody To Love | Queen
Can anybody find me somebody to love?
Each morning I get up I die a little
Can barely stand on my feet
Take a look in the mirror and cry
Lord what you're doing to me
I have spent all my years in believing you
But I just can't get no relief,
Lord!
Somebody, somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

I work hard every day of my life
I work till I ache my bones
At the end I take home my hard earned pay all on my own -
I get down on my knees
And I start to pray
Till the tears run down from my eyes
Lord - somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me - somebody to love?

(He works hard)

Everyday - I try and I try and I try -
But everybody wants to put me down
They say I'm goin' crazy
They say I got a lot of water in my brain
Got no common sense
I got nobody left to believe
Yeah - yeah yeah yeah

Oh Lord
Somebody - somebody
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Got no feel, I got no rhythm
I just keep losing my beat
I'm ok, I'm alright
Ain't gonna face no defeat
I just gotta get out of this prison cell
Someday I'm gonna be free, Lord!

Find me somebody to love
Can anybody find me somebody to love?

Location - Moon Forest




β€œPiΓΉ dolce di caramella su un bastone, mirtilli, ciliegie, o calce. Se aveste la scelta, sarebbe la vostra scelta, ma lecca-lecca Γ¨ mio!” Lollipop by the Chordettes was one of her favorite songs. It was so upbeat and poppy and it made her smile. She belted it out powerfully as she stepped out of her bathroom, clad in a robe and throwing her arms out as she sustained the last note. A smile crossed her face until a wave of discomfort crashed over seemingly out of nowhere. She immediately recognized the emotional print as Ryder's in the same way she would have recognized his... Musk. A sigh escaped her as she ran her fingers through her hair and pushed open her window, watching as Ryder took off in wolf form into the forest, taking his irritation with him. As the Sentinel and Pack Therapist, it was her job to go make sure that he wasn't going to do anything stupid, talk to him, and make him feel better.

It was her specialty, after all.

Cringing with the pain of shifting in the middle of the day, the Italian cried out. That cry morphed into a howl as her bones crunched and began to reshape themselves, her face extending into a muzzle, a tail growing from the base of her hips, and fur sprouting all along her body among other painful transformations. She was big in her wolf form, coming up to about five foot three in height, but she was a shrimp in muscle mass and height compared to the others. Letting loose a howl to alert the Alpha that she was heading out, she was gone. She was but a streak of golden and snowy fur as she leapt from the window and took off after Ryder, her paws kicking up the light snow that stuck to the ground.

He wasn't really that hard for her to find even with several new scents and emotions hitting the air around her. Well, that, and he wasn't exactly being very quiet. She needed only to follow the sound of his panting and soon after the crash of a tree. She watched him from the bushes for a few moments as though she were about to pounce him. She was sure that the Vampires and the other Wolves at home had smelled the irritation that oozed from his pores, but she had something better than a sense of smell. She felt his irritation. It was so strong and she had to literally fight it off to keep her own self from becoming as irate as he was.

It was with a pained growl and more bone crunching sickness that she shifted back, the fur receding into her flesh as she took on a human form once more. Standing naked it front of him, she didn't seem to care so much about it. It wasn't that she was particularly narcisstic about her body -well, she was pretty confident- but, when you shifted back, you didn't have your clothes on. They weren't Witches who used magic to keep their clothes intact when they shifted. They had to get naked unless they wanted to get tangled and strangled by cloth. It happened a few times before. A very embarassing way to die.

Or end up by the medic. So, they learned from a young age to be able to be around naked people without going into heat. Back to the story at hand, she tilted her head and let her blue green eyes scan him for a moment before speaking, her voice gentle and filled with care as she worked with her power to tug and pull at the dampening Aura around him in an attempt to calm him. β€œHey, Ry. You want to talk about what's eating you up?” The Italian words rolled off of her tongue with ease as she leaned against a nearby tree that he hadn't taken down.
