1. Appearance
1.1 Essentials
BasicsMore dog than wolf Drifa is on average smaller and slighter than most. A mix of herding breeds crossed with wolves a few generations back her appearance is soft and unimposing. Her face is delicate with a sharp stop and rounder forehead. Her muzzle is on the shorter side while her ears are larger and have difficulties standing erect, giving her a more youthful appearance. Her large slate grey eyes are always wide open and attentive of her surroundings. In all her forms, while slight, her limbs tend to be on the longer side proportion-wise. While gangly looking Drifa is deceptively nimble and, when in her Optime form, is adept at dexterous pursuits. However, she is far from athletic, and tires easily when exerting herself. Drifa is a creature of comfort, while she has the strength to do basic chores, her body remains relatively soft. Drifa’s fur is short thanks to her descending from primarily dogs, and any longer growing fur is shave down for a uniform look. However, she usually leavers her tail untouched. Her hair in her Optime form is usually kept short, styled in an asymmetrical bob with the left side of her head shaved down. Her pelt consists of warm colors, primarily a dark, almost black brown. Her undersides and face however consist of sepia and cream tones. A light cream snip and star mark her face. Her nose and paw pads are pale. Due to her upbringing and shorter coat Drifa tends to wear clothing, especially when it’s made of wool. Loose sweater tunics make it easy for her to move around and transform without getting tangled, and she can usually be seen carrying her satchel full of supplies. Distribution

2. Personality
A free spirit unbent by the rules and traditions of her homeland, Driffa only true alliance is to herself. Now that isn't to say she doesn't care for family and friends, she does care deeply for those close to her. But if any were to impose upon her own will in the most dire events, she will not hesitate to cut ties. Despite her warrior lineage Driffa considers herself a pacifist, only retaliating with force when no other option is available. Even then she doesn't strike to kill. She has a hard time killing other animals, and often shows distress if having to kill livestock. However once its deceased she has no problems butchering, as she also has a deep love of food that often overrides her apprehension. Driffa is very food motivated, and will often go out of her way to try new cuisines. She is especially fond of curing and fermentation. Also due to her pacifist nature she doesn't anger easily, however when pushed to the brink she tends to stew in silence. Driffa holds grudges far longer than she should, and often huffs and gives the cold shoulder to those she wants to spurn.
She is meticulous in her toil, whether over an open flame or working with wool. She is very perceptive and often becomes nosey when watching others work. She means well, but can often come off as overbearing or excitable. She loves talking and often gossips, a habit born from living in a small town. If you have a secret it's best not to tell her, lest she blurt it out during mindless work. She doesn't mean to spill secrets, it's just a habit that is hard to kick. Driffa is almost honest to a fault, perhaps from growing up with the threat of a switch if she were ever caught in a lie. Any lie she does tell will be easily noticeable due to nervous fidgeting, often rubbing the backs of her hands in her Optime form. Driffa likes to think herself a hopeless romantic, or did at least. She loves stories of romance and often had a fairytale like view on it. However the trauma of her first 'relationship' has soured, or at least brought her views down to earth. While she wants to wear her heart of her sleeve for all suitors, she guards her feelings for fear of who they might attract.

Biases
SexualitySelf described heterosexual monogamous, at least that's what she was raised to believe. She was (and still sorta is) a hopeless romantic who swoons over gallant canines and can't help but read or listen to great stories of romance. However being young she is still quite naïve and shy in the dealings of romance. She will often become embarrassed if she develops a crush or if someone approaches her. She has had experience with sex and might become easily flustered and nervous if anyone does anything she deems too 'spicy'. However due to past experiences she has become more guarded of her feelings, her first relationship being arranged with a brutish male who, if she had not struck out against, would have most likely done terrible things to her. Her only other relationship role-model is her parents, who were also arranged and at best distantly cold to one another. She desperately wants to find her prince charming, but is too afraid to put herself into the types of situations to find them. SpiritualityDescribe your character's spirituality.

6. History
Drifa was born far beyond the sea in a hamlet that could now be lost to obscurity, to a family that had dwindled from a once proud clan. Born the second eldest of her siblings, and the first daughter, Drifa took on the brunt of the work around the hold. Even though her body was weak, being born in the months of winter, her family brought no pity upon her. Her parents were stern, proud, and bitter from bygone days of greatness and infamy. Now they were little more than sheep herders on the harsh, windswept shores of their homeland. She spent the first half of her year herding with her brother and father, as she was of not much use elsewhere while still unable to transform. Drifa always struggled to keep up, but her family’s stubbornness that dwelled deep within her drove the young girl to push past the pain and exhaustion. Perhaps it was a need to prove herself, or to spite the hand dealt to her, either way she persevered.
One at six months of age the family coached her in the transformation process which for her, like all physical tasks, was a strain. However, after a grueling hour Drifa completed her first transformation, and she was welcomed into the fold as a real member of the family. No longer was her use only for herding sheep, she became a servant of the hearth as her mother overtook her lessons. On cold and wet days, she learned to process wool and knit garments from the sheep on their farm, and on milder ones she foraged with her mother for roots, seaweed, and herbs. Her long and nimble fingers in her Optime form made her a diligent worker in textiles, but her true passion steered more towards food. She was fascinated with the preservation of food and drink and would often badger her father if she could help him make the family mead (although often she was sent back to her mother). Drifa picked up preserving knowledge quickly, even making her own sausages and salted meats without the aid of her mother or aunts. She was content with her routine, but as usual fate had different plans.
After her first year she noticed strangers docking on their hamlets’ shores, foreign men smelling of salt and iron. Their presence made her uneasy, and she found out why all too soon. Her father, eager to get in the good graces of a neighboring conqueror, offered her hand in marriage to one of his sons. The warlord had sent his son to inspect his bride and, if suitable, to bring her back. Drifa felt betrayed and used by her father, and her pleading fell on her mothers’ deaf ears. But she was not yet resigned to her fate. For days whenever her groom to be would approach, she would hurry away or shield herself with her friends, pretending not to notice him. However, one night when the whole hamlet was celebrating the grooms’ arrival and impending marriage, he had cornered her in an alleyway. The things he spoke to her made her fur stand on end. She then made up her mind, she was not going anywhere with this man. She was not as strong as him, but she was quick. Reaching into her bag she felt her whale bone knitting needles, and as quickly as she could plunged them into his face. Distracted by the pain Drifa saw an opening to escape, and she fled to her home. There she hid, the weight of her actions beginning to sink in. She had to flee. She grabbed a few essentials and what was to be her meager dowry and ran into the countryside. She remembered the paths from her childhood and before the crack of dawn she made it to a neighboring village. There she bartered for passage across the sea, anywhere but where she was now. Using the gifts of her dowry she boarded the vessel that would take her away from the world she knew.
