Essentials

• Species: Galilani is an even split of Canis Lupus and Canis Rufus. She has features from both sides of the gene pool – essentially a grey wolf head on a red wolf's body, with a few oddities here and there.
• Fur: Her fur is thick and double-coated, though it thins around her arms, abdomen and thighs. It is especially thick around her shoulders, chest and rump. Her tail is thick and long.
  • Optime Hair: Her optime hair is thick and wavy. Going about halfway down her back, she has various parts of it beaded, wrapped in green fabric, or weaved with blue and red feathers. She has a straight-cut fringe across her forehead.
• Facial Features: Though a mostly average looking grey wolf face, her ears are longer than normal, with a slightly more tapered, elongated muzzle. Her eyes are large and heavily lashed.
• Build and Size: Galilani is of average height and weight in all forms, though her body appears lither and more streamlined than most. Her gait is graceful and confident, and she has the right balance of muscles and femininity.
• Moderate Humanization: Wears some clothing and accessories.

Coloration

• Markings:
  • Predominantly Cape Palliser, with splatters of Copper as her second coat.
  • Ear tips, back and thigh markings, along with her muzzle are Birch.
  • Tail tip, throat, some back markings and the streaks down her forearms are a light shade of Millbrook.
  • Chest, cheeks, inner ears, eyelids, hind legs and hands are a blend of Vanilla and Sandal, fading into Birch and Copper.
• Eyes: Finch Green
• Optime Hair: A mixture of Birch and Millbrook, with Copper highlights.
• Nose and Paw Pads: Birch

Lupus

In both Lupus and Secui forms, Galilani's facial features stand out (oversized ears, longer muzzle, big eyes, etc.). Her legs are long and slender, though more muscular around her thighs. Her shoulders appear broader than they are from the layers of thicker fur.

141 lbs (64 kg)
3ft 5 in (41 in / 104.14 cm)

Secui

Hardly ever in this form, and very self-conscious of it, her fur starts to thin around the rump and forelegs. Her mane thickens out to start revealing the longer, wavier hair present in Optime. Her facial features are a lot more prominent, and her shoulders appear bulky and oversized.

164 lbs (74.8 kg)
5ft 11in (71 in / 180.34 cm)

Optime

Similar to the other forms, she is thicker-furred in the shoulders and chest than everywhere else. Her ears are still prominent, and her hair is long and wavy. Her hands are small, and her forearms are muscular and well-defined. She is long-legged, though not overly curvaceous in the hips. Her tail appears long and bushy.

Galilani Is anything but ordinary. A mixed up hybrid of personality traits gives her a mysterious edge, however, she is actually quite polite and friendly to (though inwardly terrified of) those she comes across. Though not exactly impulse-driven in a literal sense, it could be said that her ‘desire to please others’ is what motivates her. She thrives on making other people happy, often neglecting her own needs and desires in the process.

As a child, she was bubbly, confident, and full of life. She has, however, developed darker, more negative elements within her personality, due to the trials she has been subjected to: The mysterious leaving of her mother, the struggle to connect with her father, and the torture and mental abuse from Tomas all aided in this. As such, her views can be quite jaded and naïve. She has a lot to learn about the more pleasant things in life: love, laughter, friendship. It leaves a lot to be crafted within her in the long run.

She is intelligent and a quick learner, though her nativity and social awkwardness often gives the illusion of average, or even lower than average, intelligence. She hates making important decisions, often avoiding completely and/or passing the choice to someone else. She’ll often panic if pressured, emphasizing the image of foolishness and childlike under-developments. She hates the idea of failure, disappointment or negative consequences, as drilled into her by Tomas, and the belief that being a disappointment is why her mother left so suddenly.

Within hunting, Galilani has a high level of ability with a bow and her knives. She can also scout reasonably well. However, faced with conflict and aggressive situations, she is more likely to try and talk her way out of it, or simply flee. This is down to her semi-pacifistic nature. She can fight with weapons, and she could probably kill, but she just wouldn’t. However, her basic hand-to-hand combat is an utter mess. She can barely throw a punch, let alone much else, so don’t expect any secret fight club meetings any time soon. She is unlikely to trigger any hostility toward others, unless involving threats to her family. Even then, she would feel some remorse at the idea of being even a slight asshole to someone.

To those of a higher rank, she’ll display the utmost respect and do their bidding regardless of personal beliefs (even if it niggles at her mind for a while afterwards). Fellow tribe members (of equal or lesser rank) get treated with the same levels of respect. She sees no reason to remind anyone of their failures or struggles in life, so she will not ‘put someone in their place’ or ‘play on her higher rank or power’, so to speak. Those outside of the pack/tribe are greeted in a generally friendly and positive manner, though with reservation and introverted mannerisms. She is considered quiet, shy and soft-spoken to those around her, as her ‘damaged goods’ personality affects her demeanour quite a lot.

She is an observer at heart, hiding in the background; listening to everything, book in her hands, with an opinion on nothing. She could probably bring down the sky with all the secrets and dirty laundry she’s amassed from not being noticed, however, her meek, kind-hearted nature means she’d never let any of them slip. She’s just too nice for that.

She is extremely clumsy at expressing herself. This means more often than not, she doesn’t show many emotions publicly, leaving her to breakdown and judge herself in private quarters for any regrets she might have from previous encounters. This can also make her unintentionally appear cold and withdrawn at times. The exception to this is animals. She finds comfort with them, often going out of her way to feed birds or groom horses in Aniwaya. She will always smile in the company of animals.

As touched on above, one of the bigger elements of her personality is the compulsive need to please others and seek acceptance. This is perhaps due to the fact her mother left without obvious cause, creating a fracture in her mind: she blames herself. She won’t, however, do foolish things to seek acceptance. She has a clear line of what is good and what isn’t, and believes that doing something for attention, pleasure or acceptance would only be considered disappointing and/or an annoyance, so therefore pointless. This also leads onto her currently developing wrinkle of separation anxiety and abandonment issues. She would be lost without her rank in Aniwaya and the knowledge that her family are out there waiting, if she ever wished to return to the Great Tribe. Within friendship and love, however, she is utterly clueless and almost believes she is just undeserving of that kind of loyalty. She is still waiting for someone to show her life just isn’t all that bad after all.

One last thing to note is her overwhelming phobia of small spaces. Her claustrophobia often haunts her nightmares, having been tortured in this way by Tomas in the past. She will not go into caves and other such spaces, no matter how pretty they might appear. Even the stalls in stables make her nervous.

• Scent: She smells faintly of burnt wood, with a strong waft of almonds from the black cherry bark used in her hair-beads and jewellery.
• Quirks: Her eyes are the window to her soul. (& She talks in her sleep.)
• Demeanor: Stands tall, giving the illusion of confidence to protect herself.

Motivations

• Family Honor: Galilani hates the fact her father was a coward when it really mattered. She believes that she must find a way to restore her family's honor and remove the association of cowardice from the Adahy bloodline. It encourages her to live in a way that promotes motivate honesty, courage, hard work, faithfulness, loyalty and truth.
  • Side note: Despite the cowardice of her father, the rift with her brother, and departure of her mother, she loves her family dearly. She would give her life for them.
• Need to please: Galilani feels an overwhelming need to please those around her. Everything wrong must be righted, and everyone in need must be helped. She needs to create happiness in others to make herself feel good about herself. The downside is that it emotionally (and in some cases, physically) wears her down, and she often blames herself for the failures and/or incidents that aren't actually her fault.
• Knowledge: Galilani thrives when learning new skills or improving current ones. She loves to read, study and observe. However, she gets frustrated if her skills do not improve as quickly as she would like. She considers herself a high achiever.

Biases

• Non-Luperci: She struggles to understand why someone wouldn’t choose the Luperci way of life, even just for its evolutionary benefits.
• Form Choice: She has no issue with those who stick to a single form. Though Secui does scare her somewhat.
• Age: She is intimidated by the Elders, though respects them without question. Puppies make her panic.
• Packs: See here for the current state of affairs between Aniwaya and the other packs.

Substances

• Alcohol: She was briefly reliant on alcohol, though is not comfortable being drunk. She becomes loud, emotional and unpredictable.
• Drugs: She probably would if offered, as she is susceptible to peer pressure.
• Cigarettes: She has never smoked.

Fears

• Tomas Mealain: Attractive, charming, and a sadist in disguise. He takes delight in the mental torture of others, though occasionally branches toward physical abuse. He is a capable manipulator and a silver-tongued snake, taking his time to woo his victims, before tricking them into imprisonment. He enjoys showing off his ‘trophies’ by branding them with his family's insignia, or keeping them in a box as punishment. He is a sexual predator, preferring rape over submissive or willing encounters. He is, in a word, evil.
  • Read about Galilani's history or relationships to further understand this fear.
• Failure: Stemming from her quest to bring honor to her family name, as well as the engrained mental abuse from Tomas, Galilani is terrified of being a failure. She hates to let anybody down, no matter how small the favor, and is quick to stress f she can't achieve something quick enough. She has been known to sacrifice elements of her own happiness to achieve greatness.
• Claustrophobia: After being locked away in a small, damp box as punishment by Tomas, Galilani developed fairly severe claustrophobia. She will avoid small, cramped locations as much as possible. She even gets nervous at the stables because of how similar they are to her ‘prison’. The idea of being locked in and trapped in these cramped spaces causes panic, unreasonable behaviours and mental breakdowns. She will look to run away as fast as possible. She also has quite severe nightmares. She has been known to lash out whilst dreaming.
• Social Anxiety: Social situations, no matter how small, trigger high levels of discomfort and/or fear in Galilani. She can often be found having panic attacks if she believes she has become the centre of attention, or is required to speak publicly. She is constantly afraid of being judged or evaluated by others, and tries to avoid all social interaction as much as possible.

Sexuality

• Kinsey Scale: 1 – “Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual.”
  • Important Note: She has only ever experienced forceful sex. She has no knowledge of what real love, or lovemaking, actually feels like. She has limited ideas about romance from books she has read. She cannot flirt and gets embarrassed by the whole ordeal. She is essentially a virgin, just without the biological elements of it. Sex and/or courtship would not come easy to those who tried.

• Appearance: 63.5cm in length (2ft, 1in). Thin-bodied. He has a base colour of off-cream, with blotches of brown and grey toward his tail. However, his head and neck are a dark shade of olive, mottled with yellow on his underbelly. His eyes look almost black, with a slight sliver of yellow either side of the pupil.
