[ A G N E Y A ]

Appearance

Agneya is long and slender, though she does have obvious muscling. She stands at a fair 32 inches: in no way the tallest but still considerably large by regular standards. She weighs average for her size, neither light nor heavy. Just looking at her, it would be hard to tell whether she was any good at fighting or agility -- not built for the latter but seemingly slender for the former, she does not appear to have a forte. However, due to her bloodlines, she is without a doubt a warrior.

Her greatest asset, besides her height, are her claws: long, sharp, and metallic. They are the equivalent of steel, and these are what she uses to start her fires and end her nemeses. They never dull, never break, and never disappoint. They are her secret weapon. Her teeth are long, strong, and sharp, but there is nothing extremely special about them. These, too, are her aid in combat, and she uses them to the best of her advantage.

Agneya is a brightly colored wolf. She is a mix of reds, oranges, and golds. Some creamy white and sooty black make appearances around her frame: her face has a black mask marking and dark ears, and her shoulders and crest are also darker in color, but her underbelly and paws are much lighter than the rest of her. Her tail tip is light but banded by a darker ring. Her coloration is enhanced by the softness and sleekness of her coat: its texture causes the hues to become almost shiny.

Neya has brilliant, burning white-and-gold eyes. They are quite light and, standing out in her darker markings, can be quite jarring. Her expression is usually reserved; this, combined with her stature, causes her to appear unapproachable or even outright mean. This is not the case, though she doesn't try to put on "customer service" smiles often.

Her voice is low and fairly sultry, though it also has a commanding, almost hard air to it.

harsher mannerisms

Personality

Neya is an interesting wolf, personality-wise. While she is prone to chaos and more violent tendencies, she can be quite gentle. This side of her is shown to her packmates, especially those who are young or new. To them, she takes up a more motherly -- or sisterly -- role, and she is much more likely to show greater patience with these wolves. She is loyal to her pack and to her leaders; their commands are fulfilled dutifully and in a timely manner. She is not one to drag her feet regarding anything -- especially orders from higher authorities.

While she may not express these desires out loud, she dreams of becoming an actual mother, one day. After her own passed away, and having seen newer members come in all alone, her maternal drive and craving has grown. However, these feelings are not shared lightly, nor are they honed in upon outside of interactions with yearlings and the like. This female prefers to display a more aloof face, guarding her emotions and being the tough warrior she was born to be.

She is quite creative and innovative -- one of the attributes gleaned from her sire. Agneya enjoys problem solving. She likes to think up useful contraptions for assistance in random tasks, such as a lever to move a boulder or a more efficient way to get from point A to point B. This hobby of hers is also applied on the battlefield: she takes in her surroundings, thinks of all the possible downsides she can, and then works to find ways to turn those detrimental points into advantages.

In the war zone, her fiercer personality shines through. She lusts for blood; carnage and destruction are her friends, and she flirts with death constantly. She is a bit of a warmonger, though she will not goad her packmates to fight each other. Instead, these violence-inducing habits are used on rogues, intruders, and other apex predators who may have happened upon the territory. Neya is protective -- and extremely territorial.

Her movements are calculated and backed with tactical thoughts. She's devious, and she's smart. She does not do things willy-nilly, and those who charge into situations like brazen, bullheaded louts earn no respect from her. This female does things with purpose; there's always a method to her madness.

Agneya loves fire. She was named after it, born with its essence, looks like it. Where others may see chaos and destruction in its dancing tongues, she sees a comforting beauty. Dangerous, yes, but not threatening. She finds joy in creating the element, though she does not do so in a place that could pose harm to her pack. There is no doubt about it, though: Neya is a bit of a pyromaniac and would totally be an arson. She is as unpredictable as the flames, both calming and deadly.

This female also holds grudges. Some are subconscious -- like how she is bitter at her mother over eating the juiciest rib that one time -- and others are very purposeful. She does not trust others easily, especially not regular wolves. While her grievances lie with one individual in that category, the wariness and general feelings of malcontent spread to all of them.

Bloodline

She is the daughter of Cadoc, the god of battle, strategy, crafts, and fire. Her mother, Edragir, was a dispersal female known for her hunting skills.

Abilities

Enhanced Strength: Agneya has greater physical strength than most other wolves. This gives her an advantage in battle, especially when facing off against larger opponents. She has about the same force as a large male wolf in his prime.

Lightning Reflexes: Neya has impeccable reflexes. She reacts quickly and precisely -- another advantage in battle. This makes it hard for her enemies to place good hits on her while allowing her an advantage in offense.

Fire Abilities: She cannot manipulate fire or make it rain from the heavens. She is impervious to it, though, and can walk through it -- even sleep in it -- without being scathed by smoke or flame. Neya can also start tiny sparks, enough of which will cause an actual fire to take shape.

Strengths

+ Her abilities make her an excellent warrior and tactician. She plots, she plans, she fights -- and she's really good at it.

+ She is not riled up easily, maintaining her composure and a level head quite well. Of course, being half war god, she does have a tendency to rile others up, on occasion.

+ When her maternal drive is kicked in, or when she feels like her family or pack is being threatened, her powers amplify (whether this is actually the case, or just because she lets all Hell loose with the aid of adrenaline, is up for debate).

+ She knows when to shut up and tone it down. It's not the most talked-about strength, but to her it is quite important, especially considering her predisposition to revel in violence.

Weaknesses

- She has a regular wolf's endurance, which does not match well with her enhanced reflexes. As her reflexes require speed, she can only rely on them for so long before slowing. She is also not the fastest hunter, for those reasons.

- She cannot register pain as well as others, which means she will fight to the death without knowing it. She does not consider this a strength at all; it has nearly killed her.

- Her hearing, while okay, is not amazing. She hears the sounds of war; softer noises, such as prey's soft breaths, go almost unnoticed unless she is straining. There constantly seems to be blood roaring in her ears, thus making those smaller, more subtle sounds disappear. Not good for hunting.

- She gets antsy if it's been calm and peaceful for too long. She feels wasted in such conditions, though she understands that those are... well... preferable. She just needs more to do during those times.

I suck at naming things. Halbgötter is the German word for "demigods" but it doesn't sound very packish to me.
