character. Misunderstood
appearance, human. She is tall and slender, and very strong. She dresses like a guy, she acts like a guy. She has no tolerance for humans, or wolves, who think that females like herself are any less capable than males. She's not afraid to beat anyone up who offends her, and has the scars to prove it. She is, in fact, covered in scars. Her arms, her legs, her chest and back, even a nasty nick on her face. Which seems quite minimal... next to the fact that one of her eyes is missing. Her hair is pale gold, almost silver, and her eyes are a bright, intense ice-blue. Or rather, her eye is intense ice-blue. She hides the other under a cap, because it is so completely hideous to look at.
appearance, wolf. Her fur is silvery, streaked in black. She is long and lean, with unusually long legs and huge paws, which make running extremely easy for her. She is remarkably strong in this form, as well, her specialty being in speed and jumping. Her eyes are a brilliant blue, unusual for a pure-blooded wolf. All over her body, her fur is broken by deep scars. The gashes around her missing eye are slightly less prominent through the fur. She wears around her neck a scarlet glow-stick, which she was given by a human child she helped. She finds it rather odd that after so long, it still glows.
personality. She is bold, violent, and wary of all strangers, wolf or human. She has no trust at all for humans, unless they are children. She can be sharp-tongued and unfriendly, even to those wolves who she bothers to speak to. But if you get close to her, she becomes quiet, serious, and viciously protective. She dreams of someday having a pack to fight for, and will protect them fearlessly, with no thought of her own life.
fears. First, she is terrified of water, and then of falling. When she was a pup, she didn't know enough to disguise herself as a human. She ran as a stray, and was picked on by a bunch of human boys. They tried to drown her, threw her off a building. Miraculously, she survived, though this is where most of her scars come from. She has never trusted the male gender of any species much since.
likes. Running, jumping, the moon, the scent of fresh meat, adrenaline, and pups, even human pups.
dislikes. Water, humans, and males, no matter what the species.
strengths. She is a great runner and jumper, but she prefers ambush and surprise-attacks to straight-out fighting. She can out-run or out-jump almost anyone.
weaknesses. She is frightened of water, panics if she falls even ten feet, and will give up her life to protect a child of any species. Perhaps her greatest disadvantage, however, is the loss of her left eye. It gives her a huge blind spot in battle. Probably why she prefers ambush. Or just running.
role play sample. Shonda paused, raising her muzzle to sniff at the rank city air. She hardly noticed the horrid smells of human filth, anymore. She had lived here much too long...
She snorted in disgust. What was she?! What sort of wolf became accustomed to a stench such as this? She couldn't believe herself.
But she couildn't deny that living among humans had affected her.
She bowed down, stretching stiffly. Her right eye blinked, and for a panicked moment she could not see. Then her vision came back once more. She huffed in irritation, shaking out her silver fur.
When had she become so paranoid?
Oh... right...
Memories of the human boys sent her trotting off into the night, fleeing from her past.
