- Clever. If Tzila is put in a situation, she'd think of a way to get out of it. She is creative in this sense and is always thinking of new inventive ways to get things to be done her way. While she is clever, she is also always willing to learn a new skill. She wants to be as useful and flexible within her pack as she can.
- Resilient. She believes that one must struggle and fight for what they want, if they want it bad enough.
- Down to earth. In simple terms, she is straight-forward, witty and realistic in the most pleasant of ways.
- Independent. From day one, Tzila was always the more independant pup. She strayed from her mother as a pup, wishing to do things on her own. She has even taught herself some new skills. But this strong trait is often accompanied with stubbornness.
- Narcissistic. Tzila cares a lot about her appearance and the way she looks. She obsesses over making sure she looks pretty all the time.
- Materialistic. She likes shiny things.
- Long Fuse, Big Bomb. While able to take a lot of stress, Tzila's temper is not something to mess with. When pushed to her limits, she can become violent, emotional, or suicidal.
- Possessive. Tzila can be very possessive of both objects and beings if they are important to her or she is highly interested in them. (ex. a love interest, a charge)
- Manipulative. Self-taught and booksmart, Tzila knows the right words to say and how to say them to get her way.
- Split Personality Disorder. After a recent incident, Tzila has become convinced of a ghost haunting her, dashing on the corner of her eyes and whispering things to her. She becomes reserved as the voices in her mind stir, unwilling to show how they affect her.
|
Traits
- Outlook: Optimistic
- Sociability/Expression:
- Extroverted: Tzila speaks her mind when she feels it needs to be heard. She's not the quiet type, and when she feels strongly about something, she'll let you know!
- Moderately Dominant: Being raised with respect, Tzila knows well to respect her superiors. Though in a situation that doesn't involve superiors, Tzila either assumes the lead or second-in-command.
- Alignment: True Neutral
- You shall help the needy if such action aids yourself.
- You shall aid those who aid you and harm those who harm you.
- You shall aid those who aid you and harm those who harm you.
Motivations
- Knowledge: A living sponge of knowledge, Tzila will chase after new and unknown things just for the pleasure of learning.
- Freedom: She enjoys her agency to come and go, and to do as she wishes, and just you try to take that away from her.
Fears
- Failure: No one likes to fail, but to fail at something irredeemable is terrifying, especially someone who does the best they can to be in control of the situation.
- Death of a Family Member: Disfunctional as they can get, Tzila cannot imagine losing someone of her immediate family forever.
- Betrayal
|
Biases
- Packs: Despite not being in Anathema anymore, she's still wary of members of Casa di Cavalieri and Midnight Shores.
- Non-Luperci: Feels pity towards non-luperci, and thinks that if remaining this way is their choice, then they are fools and really missing out.
Sexuality
- 1 on the Kinsey scale: "Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual"
- When she finds a male that is worth it, she goes for it. She's subtle in the beginning, takes it slow, and enjoys the time leading up to the prize almost as much as the prize itself. She is not afraid to flaunt her beauty to get what she wants.
Interests
- Likes: jewelry, shiny things, clouds, books, feathers, crows
- Dislikes: bugs, illiterates, goats
Substances
She couldn't care less of what others do or use, as long as they it doesn't affect her or those around her. Tzila appreciates a bit of wine, socially, but isn't too fond of stronger drinks.
Spirituality
She does believe in magic, spirits, and demons. Since growing up in a Wiccan culture, Tzila has taken an interest in the simpler rituals and spells; she meditates and chants on occasion, when the fancy strikes her. Preferred Voodoo over traditional Wiccan spells, but never got the chance to properly study them.

Strengths
- Reading/Writing (Master): She enjoys reading for learning as much as for leisure, and keeps a journal that she jots in every so often. The handwriting in it is so crude that it would be hard to read for anyone else's eye, but Tzila can make sense of her own freehand.
- Drawing (Journeyman): She keeps a sketchbook around to draw things she finds during her outings. She draws exclusively from observation.
- Archery (Journeyman): Taught by Axelle, so she's pretty good. Though, she only uses these skills when hunting.
- Dual Daggers (Journeyman): Taught by Nyx Greyfire, Tzila is still training with them. She's getting better every day.
- Low Speech (Journeyman): Began learning for her crow friend, Macula, and is trying to branch out and learn other dialects. Very good with most bird dialects, decent with horses and cats.
- Map-making (Apprentice): Her maps still lack a bit of accuracy, but she's improving. Having a clear view of a landmark or a point of interest helps.
- Bone carving (Apprentice): Started to learn it on her own before her Rast, and knows enough to make simple designs and shapes with bone, though she has yet much to learn. Usually makes pens and nibs for writing with.
|
Weaknesses
- Tends to bite off more than she can chew and makes unrealistic goals for herself
- Also rejects help from others who offer it due to her stubborn nature. These things have to be done her way or nothing, which can sometimes cause tension in these situations.

Relationships
Key Relationships
- Axelle Napier: Tzila has lost respect for her mother recently because she does not appreciate the liberal choices Axelle has made without them. One big one was leaving Anathema without alerting even her daughters. While Tzila still loves her, Tzila thinks that her mother is selfish and acts on her own impulses without considering how it affects others. She is softer on her mother than her sister, Lithia, however.
- Itzal: Tzila is unsure how she feels about her father. He just up and left one day - disappeared - and no one knows whether it was voluntary or not. Tzila would be upset and hurt if it were voluntary, but considering that she doesn't actually know, she's just angry and sad that he's gone in general.
|
Positive Relationships
- Inocencio Kit Victor: A past flame and crush, they've lost touch when her father disappeared.
- Characters: is also your character's buddy-old-pal-old-friend-of-mine

Notable Associations
Trade
Tzila is always open for trading, and anyone can approach her for trade inside or outside her pack. She often drifts to neighboring lands and cities for trade outside her pack lands. Tzila's prices are fair, but she tends to give better deals to her friends and pack mates. One thing she accepts in trade is lessons on something new and that she might find useful, like different languages and skills.
- Offering: raw animal materials (hides, meats, bones, claws, fat, smoked meats, etc.), raw plant materials (seeds, fruits, plants themselves, vegetables, marijuana, etc.), scavenged goods (books, clothes, accessories, vials, bottles, containers, tiles, etc.), Luperci-made goods (restored/new books especially) lessons
- Accepting: jewelry, clothing, paper, charcoal, books, rarer seeds, ink, lessons
