My Hunter
Name:
Tanja
Age:
4 Years Old
Gender:
Female
Previous Rank or Rank:
Hunter
Appearance:
Tanja is, quite possibly, the definition of lithe. Her body is sleek and lean, slim muscle coating her limbs in a way that gives her a slender kind of grace. Her long legs, partnered with a slender abdomen and slim chest, give her a height of 29 inches, and a dainty weight of somewhere near 60 pounds. Whilst she won't be winning any conflicts that rely on pure strength, it's not difficult to imagine that the female could easily outmaneuver a larger, stronger opponent, twisting out of their way and landing hits from entirely different angles. Likewise, her body seems to be built for running for long distances (something that helped her be a fantastic huntress in the pack), endurance practically ebbing from her long, wiry limbs. Perhaps her build could even be described as fox-like.
Tanja definitely isn't someone that's sore on the eyes, holding a face that's as slim and angular as the rest of her. She has a long, defined muzzle, sat upon a narrow head, attached to an equally slim neck, and so on. Her ears, although still a little smaller than the average, larger wolfs, look almost too large for her head, and her tail is thick and fluffy compared to the rest of her body. She isn't afraid to flash a dazzling smile, one that lights up her face like the moon lights up the night, one that causes stars to glitter in her eyes, partnered with a voice as smooth as honey and as rich as chocolate.
Her coat is an array of reds, greys and tans, although the predominant shade is a lovely red hue. Along her shoulders and back is various shades of grey to mingle with the red, a creamy-tan shade stretching along the sides of her muzzle, down her chest and her underbelly, stretching to the inside of her legs. Her fur is soft and fluffy, doing nothing to take away from the feminine look about her.
Her eyes are a mixture of brown and amber, leaning more towards the latter. Depending on the lighting, or which emotions she's portraying, they could be as bright as a sun, or as dull as empty space. Her scent is equally soft and pretty, like a mixture of various different flowers.
Personality:
Whatever fox-like qualities show within the females stature are tripled in her nature. She is cunning, sly, deceptive--truly, if you wanted someone on your side, someone to be your spy, it would be Tanja. She can twist her face into disgust, into a smile, into a grimace. She can make her voice rise and fall at command, burst into tears if it's required of her, can dull and brighten her eyes when the time calls. She is a natural-born actress, honing her skills over the years of her existence to a near-perfect art. Few can see past her acts, few can spot the little signs, and fewer still know what those signs mean. She's charming, captivating attention with both words and mannerisms, makes herself be inviting, likeable.
Tanja is intelligent. She has a brain in her head that makes up for everything she lacks in physical, brute strength. Her brain works non-stop, going at a million miles a minute and never slowing down. It crafts replies, acts, personalities, and plans all in a matter of moments. An actress must have a face, and she wills hers into existence as quick as someone can blink. She notices things about others, an observant nature accompanying the intelligence. She notices things that, perhaps, they wouldn't want others to notice, she notices the little inflections in their voices, the twitch of a muscle, the shift of emotions in their eyes--she notices it all, and hides it away in her extensive bank of memories to use at a later date. Truly with the mind of an elephant, the fox-like creature rarely forgets, and nearly never forgives.
She is ambitious. She has her eyes on a prize, and she's determined to never give up, not until she has her prize in her grasp. Whatever that prize is, the attention of a certain someone, putting up a certain persona, making a kill, aiding in a certain hunt--Tanja isn't the one to give up, and will chase her prize, her dreams, until the very end, until her body is giving out. And even then, the female will push herself beyond that, just to get what she wants.
If you wrong Tanja, you shouldn't be fooled by the quiet 'it's okay' that she will utter. She is vindictive to her core, a fiery rage burning beneath a calming pool of friendliness. She rarely forgets when someone has wronged her, and it takes a special kind of person to make her forgive them. She easily turns to a crueler side of herself, perhaps for comfort, as it comes out in moments of hurt. When she is going through emotional pain, she either turns to someone she cares for (many of which have left her, or do not care for her the same way), or she turns to the cruelness inside. Anger burns away at her heart, and she's convinced herself that the cunning, manipulative, aggressive, cruel person she has become is a version of herself that loves her, that wants to protect her.
On top of it all, Tanja is highly possessive. If you're someone that she's classed as her, or if it's something that she's claimed as her own, you'll likely never meet a more possessive, protective wolf. She'll fight your battles for you, take your wounds for you, allow someone to break her if it meant you were safe--all the while watching you intently, making sure you're safe, making sure someone else doesn't look at you, not the way that she looks at you. She has a small kernel of jealousy curled in the pit of her stomach, heavy like a stone, and, though she tries to push it down when it arises, it exists and it is powerful at times.
She's obsessed--with whom? Alrik. She's in love with him, her heart drowns in the want for his affection. She loves him, and she would tear through everyone if they tried to get between them.
Affiliations:
Alrik - The male is someone that Tanja looks up to. She adores him. He owns her entire heart. She would kill, maim, and die for the handsome wolf, and she hopes that he knows it. Even if he doesn't love her back, she dearly hopes that he does, she loves him. He could breathe in her direction and it would make her day, and she often finds herself sneaking glances at him, hyper-aware of his location, what he's doing, who he's looking at, and who's looking at him. She is obsessed. She can't get him out of her head. She wants him. She wants him to be hers, and has to restrain herself from ripping out the eyes of any female that looks at him with even a smidge of love.
[Blank] (my hunted) - She has no opinion on the male, but regards him with the same disgust that she does the rest of the hunted. She's had only a few conversations with the male, typically something to do with hunting or tasks for the day, and hadn't ever bothered to get close to him.

Strengths & Weaknesses:
Strengths
♦ Her lighter build gives her a significant boost to her speed and agility, often able to outmaneuver larger, stronger opponents.
♦ Her build, too, lends her a higher endurance. She can run longer distances than a lot of the bigger, heavier wolves can, and isn't afraid to use it to her advantage if it came down to it.
♦ Being a hunter, Tanja is a good tracker, making her invaluable to the team. A hunter has to track their prey, chase the prey, and take down the prey all in one attempt, or else they go hungry.
Weaknesses
♦ What she has in speed and agility, she lacks in physical brute strength. If she were to get cornered by a larger wolf, she would be done for. There's only so much that can be done by wiggling out of someone's hold, and if there's no escape route, Tanja knows she's dead.
♦ When she's pushed herself too hard, Tanja knows it. When her body has reached it's capacity beyond it's capacity, the little reserve of energy that someone has in case of emergenies has all burned up, she falls hard. Burnout affects her very heavily, and it's almost as if she can't even move until she's regained her strength and energy. She pushes herself to that extent sometimes, but tries not to, knowing the repercussions.
♦ She struggles to create genuine relationships. Due to always wearing a mask, she struggles to let others in when she's decided they're good enough to be her real friend, or more. She's never really let anyone in, and her lack of genuine friends comes back to bite her at times, but not very often. She's often trapped with her thoughts if they go badly, unable to talk about them or get them out, because she has no one.
