 Personality: 

+  Very alert/aware of surroundings, gathers information quickly and utilizes it (useful for hunting/tracking).

+  Protective - perhaps fiercely so - of friends, family, comrades… etc. 

+  Careful, precise, the sort of person who will get one thing done right rather than several things badly.

- Low patience for other people who she feels are wasting her time (i.e. most people).

- Intimidating towards strangers, she’s not especially friendly.

History: 

Grew up in a small forest with mother and clan. They were tight-knit, worked to thrive but it wasn’t an especially difficult place to live. She trained to survive and excelled at it, loves the wild. At about 15 she split off from her pack - and mother - to be a lone wolf (ha, get it, because she’s half wolf...) and figure out what and where she wanted to go in life. Turned out she didn’t really care but she liked being independent (ha ha, get it, because her job is...).

When she was about 17, there was a freak storm and the forest got flooded - most survived but the forest was now mostly inhabitable for the residents/animals - it had become a completely different environment. She managed alright for a couple days but eventually she made contact with old clan (with howling, so not in person), learned they were okay but separated by the now uncrossable river, cut her losses and went to the closest town, which was a small elvish village. They weren’t too friendly, but neither was she, so she didn’t mind all that much, just kept to herself and took the odd job here and there. Discovered she could make a well enough living by hunting and selling the various bits and pieces - furs, bones, etc. Except, of course, a flooded forest isn’t the best place to go hunting. She travelled around for a bit, exploring the outside world.

 She ended up spending the rest of her money on a hunting bow (she couldn’t help it. And it could definitely help her). So she was broke, in a mostly unfamiliar area - which wasn’t exactly a new experience, but it was still unpleasant - without any sense of what to do. She raised her new bow to the sky and basically asked the moon for help in her time of need (She considers - as well as did her clan - the goddess to take the form of the moon). That was when a flyer flew by and got impaled on the end of her arrow. It was about some “Toffee Town” or something. The train in question wasn’t especially close but it wasn’t all that far away, either. She could cover that distance relatively quickly - she’s part wolf - and she didn’t have any belongings to slow her down. So to the Eclair Express she headed…

Additional Info: 

+She rly likes small animals… probably bc they don’t talk as much as people do...

+She really really loves her bow. Really.

+she really likes hoods I really like hoods

+she has a scarf and a fur hood she alternates between depending on if its windy or v cold. Lots of other fur things, also...

+she hates shoes. or at least, full on shoes

+owns a staff, a bow, several daggers/knives, a bone saw (rarely used), and a small hatchet. The staff she got from one of the elves she met, it’s got wonky growth magic, so it was a toss away item (either kills the plant or partially helps it grow) (very inconsistent). The bone saw was a gift from a human butcher she met. She doesn’t really know what to do with it other than intimidate guests. The bow - she was told - was blessed by the goddess. She’s not sure that’s true, but it is expertly made. AND ALSO SHE HAS A SWORD BECAUSE I WILL PROBABLY BE UNABLE TO CONTROL MYSELF.

+she has some earnings she only wears when she’s not in public (i.e. when hunting). She got her ears pierced at a human village. She likes shiny things but she’d never tell anyone she did.

+uses glowing red arrows. They’re not magic (yet), they’re just easier to find when dropped.

Roleplay Methods/Availability: 

+ deviant art notes/comments section of predetermined picture. (i.e. don’t just start rping, one of us has to mention it to the other and then post a picture in scraps called like “two dorks rp or something” and that’s where we go). Also I have a skype.
