Appearance

This female is, frankly, massive. She stands at 34 inches and weigh in at nearly 170 pounds. She certainly has all the qualifications for brute force. Her body is well-muscled and set in such a way as to provide her with impeccable strength and endurance. Her speed and agility are hindered by her size, but she is not in a deep deficit of such things.

Lilith's thick coat has a deep black base coloration. Slate and silver hairs create a rippling appearance and lighten her in some places. Her neck, shoulders, and hind ventral are most decorated with this color mixture. Her elbows and along the inside of her shoulder blades are also significantly lighter. A few light gray patches reside on her flanks, elbows, tail, and back legs. Her face is a shiny black; how light it appears depends on the sun's strength. Her coat, overall, has an almost liquid-like appearance to it.

Her eyes are a pale yellow. They almost appear gray, though the slight hint of gold offsets that notion. Her stare is intense, unwavering, and cold. While Lilith does not make an effort to really hide her emotions, her relaxed face often appears as though she is much more mysterious than she is intending to be.

Battle scars are hardly few and far between; crisscrossed lines of flesh dance into view as her coat ripples, and two parallel slashes rake across her nose and jaw. A nice chunk of her left ear is missing off the outside. Lilith is no stranger to the art of war. She's danced with the devil and flirted with death time and time again.

Combined with her foreboding coloration and large stature, this female is quite intimidating to those who don't know her -- and even some who do. Her walk is a powerful, languid stride. There is no uncertainty to this female; she has a steady, eerily calm way about her. Lilith's low tone is composed and collected, even in the most heated of situations.

Personality

She is not a wolf to be crossed lightly. Going based solely off her relatively young age is a fatal oversight. Her tactical skills and battle prowess make up for her slower movements, and those she has fought certainly remember her -- if they lived.

To outsiders, she is exactly what her name suggests: a haunt, a demon, a menace. Death and carnage are left in her wake, according to some, and she doesn't bother trying to quell those theories. However, to those that know her on a more personal level, she is not so wicked a creature. She can be many things: a loyal friend, a confidant, a leader, an irritant, a cold acquaintance.

This wolf has a cold stoicism to her. As her appearance suggests, she is a very capable individual, and not just in physical strength. Lilith's mental prowess is just as great; this wolf is extremely intelligent and strategy-driven. She is a warrior through and through; her plans are always centered around the goal of maintaining the group's wellbeing and success. The means by which that occurs is completely in the air. Lilith can play fair, or she can fight dirty.

She is loyal to her group as a whole. Certain wolves hold more respect or admiration than others, but she would never cause harm to any of them from a place of malice. Unless, of course, they were traitors or otherwise unworthy of any wolf's respect. This female has no problems with bloodshed. Lilith has killed before and she will kill again, and perhaps one day she herself will be killed. It is simply the way of life.

Even during times of peace and overall relaxation, this female is calculating. She is not always thinking up plans for battle or hunts; occasionally, Lilith thinks of more normal things as well, such as trying to figure out another wolf's mind or predicting the weather. She can be a fairly easygoing creature, though she is never one to be stepped upon. This female will not hide her dislike for a wolf, no matter their rank, especially if they treat all those below them as wretches.

Lilith is patient in some ways and short in others. When dealing with pups, executing strategies, and hunting or fighting, she has all the time in the world to watch, respond, and perform perfectly. However, when it comes to fellow adults or adolescent wolves, whining, blatantly snide comments, or picking fights, this female becomes the "you started it and I will finish it" figure. And she will act on her words, usually to the hurt ego of the other parties.

She does not share her feelings or thoughts outside of working. Even those who consider themselves to be closest to her have but a small glimpse into her emotions, her desires. She has a strong set of morals and does not deviate from them; she can be described as quite chivalrous, though she is no respecter of rank alone. Lineage means nothing to her, and anyone who banks on their heritage for sway in anything disgusts her. Lilith does not tolerate obnoxiousness, whining, laziness, lying, or anything else of the sort.

She is a rule follower. Lilith can be fairly snarky when annoyed or agitated. She is mature, though, and she almost always acts as such. She will become playful around pups and perhaps share a joke or two with other members of her group, but she is mostly just a wisened wolf with leadership capabilities. This female is ferocious when need be, especially when protecting those she feels loyalty towards. When at her most angry, she enjoys watching her enemies suffer and feels absolutely no remorse after the fact. While she is a collected individual for the most part, she has a somewhat maniacal side that feeds off her malice.

Adding for my personal notes

"To be so close to someone for so long, and then to feel like they betrayed you... It does something to your head. I love him, I hate him, and I don't know him."

Vern possesses a physique that perfectly complements his skills as both a stealthy and speedy individual. He is not the tallest wolf around, but his compact build, streamlined body, and muscular limbs speak volumes about his agility, speed, and efficiency in navigating the land. He stands at around 29 inches at the shoulder, Vern may not tower over others, then again, if you can catch him in order to find out. He is exceptional at avoiding, remaining hidden, and darting.

His dark fur, a blend of rich browns, deep blacks, and subtle creams, which provides camouflag. Vern's fur is sleek and well-groomed, minimizing any drag that could slow him down during swift pursuits. His senses, particularly his acute hearing and sharp eyesight, allow him to detect even the faintest sounds and movements, giving him the advantage of anticipation in stealthy maneuvers.

Vern's speed is a defining trait, propelled by powerful hindquarters and agile paws. His bursts of acceleration are swift and precise, enabling him to close in on prey with remarkable efficiency, or hide from enemies. His ability to change directions swiftly, aided by his low center of gravity, makes him adept at navigating tricky terrains and evading potential threats.

He has several scars surrounding him, after all, he grew up in a small pack that struggled often. He had to pitch in early and learn quickly.

Personality:
Tricky || Stealthy || Deceptive || Alluring and Charming || Flirtatious || Casanova || Cunning and Street-Smart || Resilient || Stubborn || Grumpy and Snappy || Sarcastic || Mannerless || Mysterious

Vern is a complex character, containing a blend of cunning intelligence, street-smart savvy, and a touch of charming allure. His personality is a tapestry of traits, each woven together to create a wolf who is both captivating and enigmatic. Vern has a knack for trickery and deceit. He enjoys outsmarting others and often employs clever tactics to achieve his goals. His ability to move silently and remain hidden is one of his greatest assets. He can blend seamlessly into his surroundings, making him an eerie individual.

His stealthiness allows him to observe without being detected and to approach prey or potential threats with precision. Not to mention, he knows how to manipulate situations to his advantage, using deception as a tool to achieve his objectives. However, his deceptiveness is often playful rather than malicious.

Vern knows how to be charming. He has a charismatic aura that draws others to him, and his charming demeanor makes him popular amongst strangers. He enjoys flirting and engaging in playful interactions with those around him. Truth be told, he's a bit of a Casanova, effortlessly charming those around him with his smooth words and confident demeanor.

Beneath his charming facade lies a cunning and street-smart mind. Vern is quick-witted and resourceful, always finding clever solutions to challenges. His resilience is evident in his ability to bounce back from setbacks, adapting to changing situations with ease.

However, Vern can also be stubborn and grumpy at times, especially when things don't go his way. His snappy retorts and sarcastic remarks reveal a mannerless streak, although his charm often softens the impact of his blunt honesty. He may lash out with sarcastic remarks or short temper, although his bark is often worse than his bite.

> Stealthy and Agile
> Fast
> Young = Inexperienced
> Deceptive and Manipulative
> Good Climber and Balance

Vern grew up in a small pack made up of his family. They lived well for a while there, until now, that is. They were rich in resources, leading a larger, more powerful pack to make their move. It was a lengthy battle, one with no survivors other than himself. His entire family as he knew it were killed, murdered by strangers. Vern himself was severely wounded, obtaining several gashes and deep cuts. He managed to escape with the help of his speed and adrenaline, and made it a few miles before his injuries caught up to him. Currently, he is wounded and unable to move.

(please disregard the grimy child hand)

Name: Alvi`da

Age: 4

Gender: Female/Damsel

Rank: Shakira/Shikara

Desired Rank: Alpha's Mate

Scent: A bittersweet smell of Dried Roses and Teakwood

Loyalty with Alpha: The current one? Not a chance in Hell.

Appearance: A pale damsel with soft creamy fur, a cream base with gray accents covered in white-tipped fur that gives her a soft, airbrushed complexion. She's large for a female with a narrow, dainty bodytype. She exudes beauty and class on the surface, a lovely mask. As if her fur were a testimony to her two-faced nature, her fur curls slightly at the ends, hiding most of the scars she's earned from each time she's won, or lost.

Alvi`da is no stranger to brawls and hints of this can be seen behind her soft initial exterior. Her eyes, while a harmless pale amber, have a hardened look to them that takes lots of effort to force into a soft expression. One of her front claws has been removed from getting stuck in the jowls of a previous enemy and torn out, and her long tail is ever so slightly crooked from being broken once and not healing quite right.

Personality: Alvi'da idolizes the old ways- feeling a deep cultural connection to how the pack was run before Alari made history and took the place that she believes rightfully belongs to a brute.She clung to the stories she was told in her youth, and growing up alongside someone that's surpassed her in such a way has made her bitter in a deeply rooted way.

In her eyes, the ends justify the means. As a pup she showed signs of arrogance and little ability to see past her own selfishness- she'd mash the carcass of a hare rather than to share with the other pups, and she's no stranger to showing teeth.

The behavior was never really disciplined properly and so she grew into the sort of damsel that demands what she wants and any other outcome is inconcievable. But just as she's shown her ugly interior, her soft exterior has helped her in plenty of ways.

Each time she draws blood- she means to do more harm than she has- and each time, all it takes is a pair of puppy dog eyes and some ecuse about not instigating and she gets away with it scot-free.

She sees others as tools, no matter who they are- items to be discarded once their use has drained. She holds this opinion firmly of everyone, except for Malakai. Quite frankly the damsel is OBSESSED- he inhabits all of the same ideals that she is, and her dream is to 'rule' by his side. Not that she really cares about him, but at the same time she craves his approval.

She doesn't care about getting genuine power if she can get first pick of the meals, a title to lord upon the heads of the pack, and, for her firstborn son to be the future alpha. Just the way things are meant to be.

Of course, Alvi`da has mastered the art of deception, much of her experience with playing the victim learned by the very idol she can't seem to get out of her head. Her ideals are impossible to please- she wants to be adored, feared, respected, and pampered all at once.

She wants to howl her supports for the obsidian brute but all the same wants him to truly earn her. And she doesn't think twice about the idea he'll dethrone the alpha- and she'll pull every tuft of fur, step on any paw, sink her teeth into any muzzle and gouge out any wound if it means her dream- the only thing she cares about- comes true.

Strengths:

✓ Pitbull-like resilience: Once she's locked her jaw in, it would be easier to behead her than to get her to let go

✓ "Damsel in distress" excuse: it's easy for her to get away with cruelty as it's simply chalked up to her being 'moody' or 'playing hard to get'

✓ Persistent: In both emotional and physical instances, she has the advantage of persistence. Even if she's much weaker in a fight, she packs a punch with a determination to cause as much harm as possible in a short timeframe

✓ Natural Charm: She may be about as genuine as a chameleon, but she can put on a good show when she wants to

Weakness:

✗ Hopeless Romantic: Quite frankly obsessed when she knows her emotions won't be reciprocated- so she'll go back and forth with her support to force him to put in effort

✗ Tirelessly Vain: She spends about 80% of her day keeping her appearance just right. The slight curls at the ends of her furs quickly become mats and its a daily battle to keep the tangles out

✗ Daydreamer: This idea of a perfect life in her head drives her to forget her morals and cross lines to work towards that goal

✗ Sensitive to Flattery: She loves to be doted on, an it's a good avenue into tricking her. And even if she can hold her own, she loves the idea of being protected.
