Essentials

• Species: Although Molca is primarily a coyote, some evidence of her doggish breeding shows. Her muzzle is too-wide and blunter than a coyote's ought to be, with a broader skull and a more prominent stop.
• Fur: Molca's fur is not particularly thin -- here, she takes after her doggish heritage most clearly, sporting a medium-length coat that seems almost feathered and silky in places.
  • Optime Hair: Her hair, long and natural, is generally unkempt and wild, though never filthy.
• Facial Features: Molca's eyes are wide and very bright, but also extremely "empty" -- not a lot appears to be going on behind Molcaxitl's gaze.
• Build and Size: Molcaxitl is slight and willowy, possessing the short and lightly-built form of a coyote. Although she was dreadfully thin upon first arriving into 'Souls, thanks to a proper diet, she has developed a rather athletic build. Far from muscled, Molcaxitl is not particularly strong; on the contrary, her body seems built for speed and agility than brute power.
• Humanization: Yes, minor; she is often seen wearing Clothing

Coloration

• Fur:
  • Most of Molcaxitl's fur is Driftwood.
  • Her upper body is darker, closer to Potter's Clay.

  • Hints of red also exist in her fur -- Nutmeg is ticked along her shoulders and flanks.
• Eyes: Tia Maria
• Optime Hair: Irish Coffee near her skull, fading to reddish Ironstone near the tips.

45 lbs (20 kg)
27 in (69 cm)

Lupus

Her small form is all coyote: thin, long-legged, and delicate. As most of her owners have thus far preferred Optime, this form is not often seen.

Secui

Her middling form is perhaps her most intimidating, but even at that falls far short. Molca does not particularly enjoy this form. As most of her owners have thus far preferred Optime, this form is not often seen.

Optime

Her slight form seems almost boyish, though it's difficult to discern her precise body shape as she's typically engaged in hunching, cringing, or otherwise "hiding" herself.

Traits

Reserved, depressed, repressed

• Outlook: Pessimistic or optimistic?
• Sociability: Extroverted or introverted?
• Expression: Submissive or dominant?
• Alignment: Chaotic neutral

Motivations

• Serving her pack and canines above her
• Avoiding pain and punishment

Spirituality

The former Eternian religion of the Atotozli plays an important role for Axi. Ironically, since the revolution in Eterne, she is probably one of the few practicioners of "true" Eternian beliefs. For instance, she believes in Momotzli as the coyote-god who will someday come to earth and marry the Mamexi (a religious leader in Eterne) and repopulate the earth with a super-species of coyote.

In Eterne, although Molcaxitl was barred from participating in most rituals, she is extraordinarily well-versed in the Atototzli practices and belief systems due to her observance of the customs. At times, there was little else to do save eavesdrop, and the Atotoztli was a frequent subject for the Tzatzi family.

• Axi knows she is very closely related to the religious leader of Eterne. Unfortunately, her information regarding Eterne is out-of-date and there is no longer even a religious leader in Eterne.
• Although lacking formal training, she believes she is a shaman, able to read the blood of slain prey animals for signs and omens. She did this surreptitiously in Eterne and Salsola both. Her practices within Inferni may also be hidden, as Axi spends a lot of time around Harosheth Kimaris, who is unlikely to approve.
• The fact that Eris -- Eternian enough to recognize her piercing, demeanor, and accent for what it was -- found her upon washing ashore indicates to Axi fate dictated her to be a lifelong slave. Axi believes it was a religious event that conspired to wash her ashore in Anathema to the one person who could recognize her. Axi continues in this belief, and considers herself slave to Harosheth Kimaris, Myrika Tears, or Inferni as a whole, depending on the duty.

Fears

• Just about anything related to sex.
• Slavery, slavers

Biases

• Species: Molcaxitl is strongly coyote-supremacist. As a slave, she served wolves. It might have gotten her in trouble, had she ever been directly asked about her feelings -- but it never came up. Since being granted her freedom, Molcaxitl's feelings of coyote supremacy have strengthened -- though due to her quite nature, it's not readily apparent.

Sexuality

• She avoids attachment to other canines, let alone sexual relations. Her only experiences with sex were unforgivably brutal. Molca is terrified of anything having to do with nether regions (hers or anyone else's).

Substances & Vices

• Unknown -- Molca was previously forbidden from using substances, though she did sneak a taste of psilocybin mushrooms and alcohol even as a slave.

Interests

• Likes: Unknown
• Dislikes: Unknown

3.1  Family Heritage: Tzatzi

• Mother: Ameyali
• Father: Millacatl Zoquipan (slave)
• Siblings:
  • Littermates: Zoquitli Yocatl (slave)
  • Younger Half-Siblings (1): Ciyahui Tzatzi, Ixmati Tzatzi
  • Younger Half-Siblings (2): Axiltia Tzatzi

Molcaxitl has little idea of familial relationships. She comprehends the idea of "family" but she does not understand that she is supposed to have family (e.g., she doesn't get that the people she lived with in Eterne were supposed to care for and love her rather than enslave her). Most of her family is dead -- the remaining living members are listed here.

• Children:
  • Litter One (Father Unknown): 2 girls and 1 boy (names unknown -- slaves)
  • Litter Two (Father Unknown): 2 boys and 1 girl (names unknown -- slaves)
• Extended: Tzatzi

3.2  Relations

* Does not know this person by name.

Key Relations

• Xochime Kimaris: Xochime is one of Molca's favorite canines in Inferni. Xochime shares Molca's piercing and her fate as a slave. Molca looks to Xo as an example and inspiration; Xo inspires and encourages Molcaxitl, though even she finds the woman's indoctrination hard to penetrate.

• Sepirah Lykoi: Although Molca knew Sepirah only a brief time, Axi considers Sepirah her savior -- though a truly frightening savior, for the relationship she seemed to have with the frightening Machidael Lykoi.

Positive Relations

• Inferni: Her new home is much kinder but all the more confusing for it. Molcaxitl does not know how to navigate the world, and though she is learning, the process is painful and slow. She was slow to make any real friends within Inferni.

• Kaena Lykoi: Kaena was not cruel to Molca, but did ask a lot of her (likely due to her age, and Kaena's having owned a slave before). Kaena asked Molcaxitl a lot of questions about Eterne and living there, but was otherwise pretty uninterested in Molca.

Neutral / Negative

• Harosheth Kimaris: Harosheth treats Molca as something of a slave. Molca makes efforts to avoid Harosheth.

• Eterne: Still regarded as her homeland and the true seat of power for all coyotes -- though Axi would never return willingly. She sometimes, to her horror/delight, dreams of being recaptured as a slave and carried back to Eterne.
• Anathema: Largely forgotten. The deep, dark caves made it difficult for Axi to think and breathe.
• Salsola: She strongly dislikes Salsola. Being a slave amongst many frightened her. She does not wish to be recaptured by Salsola, and so avoids interaction with the pack at all costs.

3.3  Minor Relations

• Sex: None voluntary
• Friendly: Inferni

• Enemies: Salsola
• Murders: Slave-owning NPC

3.4  Owners

(Former, arranged in order of ownership)

• Tzatzi (2.5 years): Molca's blood family treated her like poop, as detailed in her history. Her owner was technically her grandmother, but everyone commanded her equally.
• Galo (3 days): Owned Molca for three days on the journey from Eterne to Barbados. Treated her very well, but traded her off abruptly.
• Temel (2 weeks): This Barbados native made a sexual advance. Molca's reaction was immediate and intense: the trader nearly lost an eye. Temel locked her up until she was too weak to fight, and traded her off.
• Lou (1 month): Lou, the ship captain, sailed her from Barbados and almost to Freetown. He treated Molca as any other piece of merchandise. The boat sank and Molca washed ashore.
• Eris Eternity (1.5 years): Molca thought Eris very kind for most of their time together. Several incidents prior to Eris's loss of leadership and possessions made Molcaxitl reconsider entirely: Eris's allowing (and even assisting in) Molcaxitl's rape, beatings, and other cruelties.
• Salvia Eternity (6 months): Molca considered Salvia a respectful master, though she was never exactly "kind."
• Draugr Helsi (6 months): Draugr was kind to Molcaxitl, and Axi considered Dra her kindliest master. Molcaxitl was very frightened to leave Draugr, but did so all the same.
• Machidael Lykoi & Sepirah Lykoi (1 week): Molca was only owned by this pair for a very brief time, lucky her. Sepirah demanded Molca as a gift from her brother, and so Molca went to Inferni and became free~

Food and Food Preparation

• Education and Learning: Slavery, in a word.

• Cooking (Journeyman): Spices and herbs are also a part of her knowledge.
• Drinks (Journeyman): She ferments wine, and makes flavored waters by tying herbs or flavorings into extremely thinly-shaved hide, making something of a "teabag" although the water is not heated.
• Food Preservation (Journeyman): She knows a few food preservation methods -- e.g., smoking, salting.

• Molcaxitl was never taught to hunt. She is capable of snaring small mammals here and there -- primarily rats, mice, squirrels, and other really tiny things that can't really hurt her -- but is absolutely incapable with something that can fight back, even if it's the size of a raccoon.

Domestic Pursuits

• Education and Learning: Slavery, again.

• Curing Pelts and Hides (Apprentice): She is able to skin and cure hide, though she does not have sewing or construction abilities.
• Childcare (Journeyman): She excels at the mechanics of childcare.

• She fails to comprehend dominance roles between adults and children. Axi may allow older children to dictate the rules of their relationship (e.g., a child will say "but mother said I could X" and Axi will believe, encourage, and assist the child in doing X unless it's obviously very dangerous).

Felines

• Education and Learning: In Eterne, her duties included tending to her grandmother Xihuitl's trio of temperamental margays. She assisted Eris with Itzcitla, her ocelot, as well as interactions with Eris's failed cougar experiment, and lastly -- helping Eris to raise a small lynx.

• Felines (Care and Maintenance): She is excellent with felines and cats. She is kind to them and is usually able to befriend cats of any kind.

• She is extremely intimidated by large felines -- anything bigger than a housecat will be somewhat feared by Molca. She refuses to approach big cats like cougars, etc.

4.3  Residence

• Currently the D'Neville Mansion in her own room
• Formerly the D'Neville Mansion with Harosheth Kimaris in the Hospital House.
• Formerly the Great Village with Kaena Lykoi.
