Appearance
Sedona is of an average size, standing at 29 inches to the shoulder and weighing around 100 pounds. She is built for neither sheer strength nor effortless agility, being somewhere in the middle. She is a jack of all trades and a master of none, as far as fighting and hunting are concerned. In either, Sedona will rely on a healthy combination of litheness and force.
Her coat is a creamy white with some darker tans, browns, and grays thrown in. Her base coat is the lightest. The streaks of darker fur are most present along her back, around her elbow joints, throat, head, and muzzle. They are jagged and have no smoothness to them, seeming to be haphazardly thrown around joints and indentations in the body cavity. Her coat is thick and lush, though, and she is quite beautiful.
Sedona's eyes are a piercing orange-brown. While the coloring may be a warmer hue, they hold a fierce intelligence to them and give off the impression that this female will bore into your soul with her gaze. Her gait is quick and light, flowing and laid back but still purposeful. She seems approachable enough; while Sedona is not an outgoing creature, her hackles do not raise at an animal passing nearby, unlike some others of her species.
Sedona normally appears relaxed and more interested in observing the wolves around her than in joining them in their banter and drama. She carries a mature presence about her and has a strong, smooth voice. Her scent is one of pine and damp earth after a cool rain.
Personality
While it is true that one should not generally judge a book by its cover, Sedona is one of the few whose inside matches her outside. A first impression of this female would be of a wolf that is not highly ambitious but is certainly not a creature to be stepped on or lorded over. She is calm and collected, logical, and does not take nonsense. She is not a bragger, nor does she give more or less credit to anyone over anything than what is due. Everything about her is intense but somehow still subtle. She is a very smart individual and does not place her trust in anyone lightly; once it is there, however, she rarely revokes it.
Sedona is not a complete introvert to the point of being a loner; she tolerates the presence of other canines and has nothing against small talk every once in a while, but she does not want to waste her time and energy dealing with the drama and hardships that inherently come with living in a group, whether it be firsthand or secondhand. Because of the tendency of heated wolves to ignore any advice whatsoever, she only gives hers when it is asked for. Why waste time trying to put out a fire when those who started it are pouring diesel on the wood?
This is one of the reasons she does not want a leadership role. She is just fine watching the wildfire from afar and letting other wolves handle it. Let someone else babysit; she doesn't want to have to chide other wolves until she births her own, and who knows when that will be. While Sedona can act as a peacemaker at times, her calm words are always honest and can sometimes only heighten the issues. Again, this is why she rarely passes judgement out loud on anything.
Sedona may live in the company of others, but she has few good friends, if any. Sure, she likes other wolves, but she doesn't tell each of them all her secrets -- not that she really has any of those. She is satisfied being courteous to the others around her and helping where it is needed. If someone does need a friend, in the off chance they talk to her, she will listen, and she will lock their secrets away so deep that no one will ever know that she heard them in the first place. Fears, worries, regrets, excitements, dreams -- they're all safe with her.
