1.  Appearance

Rosario, being the smallest subspecies of coyote, possesses an extremely slight build and a rather minimal height. She weighs a grand total of seventeen pounds and stands at a mere twenty four and a half inches at the very tip of her ears, which sometimes makes it seem as though a gust of wind could carry her away. Her ears are elegantly large, complemented by a long, sweeping tail that may seem gangly on another, but which Rosario carries with grace (mostly). Her paws are small and dainty, making her exceptionally sure footed and nimble. When it comes to muscle definition and the appearance of strength, one might say the coyote is rather lacking; her delicate frame just isn’t suited to carry the weight. To counter that, she is extremely agile, able to run without slowing for great distances, and much quicker than one might think.

Coat hues fitting that of the coyote standards, Rosario isn’t particularly striking. Her back is a soft reddish-orange that matches her legs, sides lighten to golden blonde, and her underbelly is a smooth cream color. Ears and muzzle possess a slightly more vibrant shade of red, and her tail ends in the traditional black tip. Rosario’s pelt is short and wiry due to the desert climate she originates in, making her susceptible to the colder climates of the great white north.

With eyes that are sharp and calculating when directed at another and possess an intensity that bellies her size, Rosario's gaze is piercing. It can even be intimidating. After all, she has to make up for her small stature somehow. To assist with the depth of her stare is the bright ocean blue hue shared between the two orbs, giving them the appearance of endless depth. They crackle with ferocity when she is moved to anger, and always hold a near palpable wariness as they dart about suspiciously.

2.  Personality

Rosario is a complex character, but simple in her complexities. Due to the nature of her past, she can easily come off as cold and aloof. This can be attributed to her mistrust of everyone and everything that could potentially pose a threat. She tends to keep her emotional (and often physical) distance from others. Often, if one moves too quickly and catches her off guard, Rosario will react in defense of herself. This makes her appear rather jumpy and skittish. Her cynical nature can be gleaned easily, though when brought up she will vehemently deny it and say, “I’m not negative. I’m just realistic.” Because of the betrayal of her brother Riel, she also has a hard time committing herself emotionally in any way to another being, be it friendship or otherwise.

To be incredibly precise, Rosario is self-loathing. She had it instilled in her from early on to regard Luperci with hate and disgust, as they are ‘unnatural’ and abominable. They are always to be considered the enemy. Now that she has been turned into one, Rosario doesn’t quite know what to make of it and, as a result, despises herself. This also stems from the lifelong rejection of her father and the fact that, no matter how hard she tried to prove herself, he never accepted her. Also, due to her hatred of Luperci and everything they represent, she has no experience with their humanistic practices. She does not know how to read or write, craft, etc., and is fine keeping it that way. One could call her traditional or even old school. The only exception to this is the piercing in her ear, acquired sometime before she arrived in Nova Scotia.

Due to her slight size and her experiences traveling, Rosario has become quite nimble and agile. She is not much of a fighter, but she makes up for it with her abilities to maneuver out of that kind of situation. Don’t be fooled, though, when it comes down to it she is not afraid to fight; she only prefers to avoid it. Her cunning is also something to be feared, because living alone in the hard wilderness for years will kill the slow witted.

Spanish is her first language due to her birthplace (formerly Tamaulipas, Mexico). She was able to learn English in her travels north to Nova Scotia, which just goes to show that she is an incredibly quick study. Her accent is rather thick, however, and she occasionally has trouble wording things due to her inexperience in bilingualism. The language barrier can be a frustration and her willingness to overcome it may be a door to introducing her to other things.

3.  History

  • 27 Jun 2010: Rosario and her two brothers, Riel and Roman, are born bastard children to Araceli Duran in the former Mexican state of Tamaulipas. Their pack is a traditional coyote one.
  • Due to constant violent run-ins with wolf Luperci throughout their recent history, the pack has an aversion to anything they consider ‘unnatural’. They instill this in their progeny.
  • Rosario’s pup hood has little time for feminine concerns, as she mostly busies herself with keeping up with her brothers.
  • 15 Oct 2010: Araceli Duran gets in an argument with the alpha female, Nita, about the patronage of Rosario, Riel, and Roman. Nita, jealous and believing her mate, Jairo, to have fathered the pups, kills Araceli in a fit of rage.
  • The three are shunned by the pack and denied by their father. They become outcasts of sort and live in the shadow of their so-called pack mates.
  • 28 Nov 2010: In a particularly intense skirmish with the Luperci, Roman is caught in the fighting and killed.
  • Rosario and Riel become nigh inseparable and rely on each other to survive.
  • 02 Feb 2011: In pursuit of a hare, Rosario steps out of her pack territory and encounters a Luperci. Using his massive size and superior skills to overcome her, she is wounded and brutally raped. She is later found by Riel, who takes her back to the pack lands and tends to her physical wounds.
  • Several days later, signs point to Rosario being infected by the Z456 virus. Riel begins to read the signs.
  • 13 Feb 2011: She tries to maintain control over herself, but after about a week Rosario cannot control the urge and shifts to her Optime form in front of Riel. The aversion to Luperci and hatred of the kind is instilled so strongly in Riel, accompanied with the desire to prove himself in the eyes of his pack, that he reports to Jairo and Nita.
  • 14 Feb 2011: The entire pack comes down on Rosario and forces her out of the pack lands with attacks and cruel words. They banish her and warn her they will kill her if she attempts to return. Her pleas for mercy fall on deaf ears, and Riel seems unaffected by her distress.
  • Rosario wandered aimlessly for a month, living on her own and vehemently avoiding both wolf and coyote alike. Her hatred for wolves did not diminish, nor did her innate loathing of Luperci (and, inevitably, herself).
  • After a brief conversation with a bob cat, she hears of a possible place to start over in Nova Scotia.
  • 20 Mar 2011: Deciding to take a chance, Rosario sets off north.
  • 06 Dec 2012: Rosario arrives in Nova Scotia after a long, difficult trek full of perils she is surprised she survived. It has made her into a hardened Soul, but she is tired of being alone and decides to try her luck with the Inferni.
